I had someone message me saying he wanted to chat because he liked my big calves.... True story: I was creeped out. Also I was so excited I showed my husband. But I didn't add the guy. I've watched waaaaay too many SVU re-runs and Lifetime Movies.

Me? Never ever. I have gone to and had a really good time at strip clubs so I think I can offer a generally unbiased opinion. I had a good friend do it, and she got out of it rather quickly -- it's a very different world and lifestyle -- too easy to get dragged into it, no matter your intentions and willpower. She worked…

Very impressive!! I tried doing P90X and running and just couldn't hack it. Nice job! That yoga workout is killer.

Sunday -- 3 miles Wednesday -- 3 miles Saturday -- 11 miles Kind of a slacker week for me!! School got crazy for a bit, but I'm back on my game now. :) Total -- 17 miles

Bump. I love this thread, thanks!

I love stuff that has the underwear built in -- no creeping! But otherwise, cheeky panties with a little bit of lace usually don't show panty line -- I have a few pairs of the cotton Victoria's Secret PINK that are perfect. I work in scrubs, too, so I use this underwear under those as well!

Haha -- I was just about to post this!! I haven't tried to make them yet, but I have all the ingredients so I should be making them this week sometime. I'll let you ladies know how they turn out! I'm kind of obsessed with Larabars.

I am welcoming back the 80's via my 'citron' colored new Saucony Kinvara 2's. Love them!! I think athletic shoes are the only place neon looks good. :) My kids play soccer and have been rocking the neon cleats for a couple years. They finally sucked me into the trend, I guess!!

Sunday -- 6 miles run Tuesday -- 4 miles run Wednesday -- 3.6 miles run Saturday -- 10 miles run and 2 miles hiked Total: 25.6 miles!! Yippee!

Thanks for posting this. I am taking the same method to reparations, currently eating my TDEE - 500 per day. I have gained a bit, which is to be expected, but I'm hoping to see some loss soon! Your post made me feel better about my approach. Good luck to you!!

I'm proof positive that you can! I gained 12lbs while marathon training (not muscle, I LOST muscle mass...) I am slowly trying to set things right again.

Oh mah gawd. Geocaching is SO MUCH FUN!! And a great workout!!

Pecans and Reese's Pieces. That sounds like an amazing pie...

Sunday -- 6 miles Monday -- 0 miles (weights and lawn schtuff) Tuesday -- 4 miles (hills! good times!) Total so far -- 10 miles. Group run tomorrow, I'm excited about that!

Great numbers!!

This DID make me cry. Ugh. Ovulation can be so annoying! But a big heartfelt thank you for this post -- I needed it today!!!!

*whistles* Wow -- you're a cutie patootie in all the pictures, but what a difference! Looks like way more than 20 lbs. Go on, girl!!

HARDCORE!! I once saw a girl run a 5K using one of those Graco strollers. It was freaking intense.... I was also passed during my first 10K by a guy running uphill with a baby jogger. Parent walker/runners are SERIOUS. :) Get it, girl!

After a long run, your body is primed for glucose (carbs) uptake which will help fuel your next run, and protein will help heal your muscles. I drink chocolate Silk after my long runs -- not a lot, because I'm never hungry after a run -- about a cup. I try to do this within a half-hour of finishing my workout, as that is…

17 lbs is amazing. I'm a little perturbed by all the references to gastric bypass being the 'easy route'... I have a couple friends who have had it done due to medical conditions, and it is NOT an easy thing -- it can be quite dangerous. But you and your friend are taking two very different approaches to weight loss. Her…

I personally just like to drink water! Juice has a ton of sugar which upsets my digestion. I have used Gatorade/Powerade in really hot weather. I used to set out water bottles, but then I hated having to carry my empty back with me the remainder of the run. I finally broke down last summer and bought a Fuel Belt (sexy…

Sunday -- 6 miles (3-mile group run, then a 3-mile run with my son) This is going to be a good week!

Slacker week for me!! But at least I got my long run in... Sunday -- 2.75 miles Wednesday -- 3.25 miles Saturday -- 9 miles Total -- 15 miles

Generally, people can't tell how fast/slow you're going just by passing you on the street!! I have never had negative thoughts about someone I saw running. Unless they are wearing jeans, then my negative thoughts center mainly around my own experiences with chafing. But I digress... I recently started a running group for…

Sunday -- 10 miles biked Monday -- rest day Tuesday -- 2.25 miles run Wednesday -- 6.1 miles run Thursday -- P90X KenpoX Friday -- Skipped weights and ate too much fiber, oops Saturday -- 8.15 miles run Total: 16.5 miles run!!

;) I think people that love running, for the most part, love schedules. But schedules are more of a guideline to me. You have given yourself enough time to train. I promise you. No, I pinky-promise you, that these 5 days will not be detrimental to your training overall. In fact, sometimes I think a few extra days of rest…

Tuesday -- 4 miles run Wednesday -- 7.5 miles run Thursday -- 17 miles biked (I know that doesn't count, but it was fun!!) Friday -- Yoga and 1 mile walked with the fam-dammily Saturday -- 7 miles run Total run/walk/crawled: 19.5 miles

^^This!!

Tuesday -- 4 miles run Wednesday -- 7.5 miles run (some walking in there, too!) Total so far: 11.5 miles

Hope you feel better soon!! I started a new clean eating dealy-o, and the migraine from caffeine withdrawal kicked my butt. Today was my first run of the week. Tuesday -- 4 miles (hill repeats, like a BEAST!! Or at least, I am sweating like one.)
