My diary is open and I'm equally as nosy. Haha. Feel free to add me!

I have the opposite problem. I could easily eat 2000 call in a day. Haha. Meh makes me exercise all the excess off :P

I log midnight to midnight. I flip flop from days to nights between 2 jobs. 8 hour and 12 hour shifts. I find if i do wake to sleep i over eat.

I use optimum nutrition whey protein powder in cookies n cream flavor mixed with either skim milk or coconut milk. I only drink it after intense wt workout or a run over 10k to help repair muscle.

I started with c25k then bridge to 10k. Then half then full marathon. My advice is stick with the program. If a particular run is hard repeat it before moving on. Do not give up!

Feel free to add me!

Funny I just read an article how fitbit has helped people gain weight. Hopefully it's not really the case. Maybe amp up ur workouts and don't eat back too much exercise call? ?

Disney Princess was my third half marathon ... 5 years later I still have the running bug!!!

I listen to play lists on songzaa (free app), I'll screen shot songs I like and download them when I have time.

I started adding a cheat meal once a week to my regime and I am definitely enjoying it! I look forward to a "treat" like pizza or fast food. I lost 9 lbs in 45 days. And I'm now 2 lbs away from my goal weight!!!

Drives me nuts when people say they have been eating 1200 calories for weeks and haven't lost a pound. Weighing food is so much more accurate and retrains your brain as to what food portions actually looks like. In a pinch where I can't weigh food I always over estimate how much I've eaten. And if I don't know how many…

Part time nurse here. Days, nights, nights then days, I can barely keep track!

mine is open as well. I love getting meal ideas!

I had been running on a treadmill for 3 years and didn't lose a pound. The minute I took it outside weight started to melt off. For me it was by far harder running outside, on the treadmill the belt helps you run, whereas outside it's just you.

I live in Southwestern Ontario, and find winter running the most enjoyable season. Find one good base layer, they have ones that are fleece lined so they are super comfortable. I got mine at TJ Maxx when I was in the U.S for $15. You're base layer should fit close to your skin. If there is room between your skin and the…

When I first hit my goal weight of 130 I stopped logging and surprise suprise, the weight came back. I'm now 128 aiming for 126 and will continue to log even when I hit maintenance.

I'm 5'5.5 and I just reached 128lbs. I may try for 126 but would like to maintain 128 for a bit first. 128 is definitely not too skinny.

Where do you get coconut water?? I've been trying to find it forever!!!

The app after c25k is bridge to 10k. I highly recommend it! I used the c25k then bridge to 10k, then trained for a half marathon on my own, and now I'm training for a full marathon! And to think it all started from an app!

I have 4 Lululemon "Ta Ta Tamer"s I started DD cup, and I'm now a D cup (hoping to be a C cup soon!) I have run 3 half marathons in this bra and find it amazing!! I ran a 10k in a different sports bra and the pics are atrocious!! and I def didn't have enough support :( lesson learned :P

I did that a couple years ago. I only lasted 2 months before I signed up at the gym again. My advice would be to put your gym membership on hold for 2 months and see how you do and avoid paying initiation fees and all that stuff if you change your mind.

I definitely can't drink coffee before my runs. Some say it gives them energy from the caffeine. Def not for me, more cause it makes me go to the bathroom. Maybe it's the sugar?

I especially do this if I know I'm going to be going out for dinner, I'll put in what I'm going to have so that I know what I have left for the day.

1:30am in London, Ontario (working a night shift)

You don't necessarily have to eat your exercise calories back. If I burn more than 450 calories I tend to eat a light snack. Anything lower if I'm not hungry I just don't eat. I log my exercise at the end of the day so that I'm not tempted to eat those calories back :tongue: :tongue:

That's what I started doing, I started adding friends and the support is awesome!!! Looking forward to egging each other on :)

My cat was sprayed by a skunk and my girlfriend went out and got "skunk off". Worked pretty well.

I got my plantar fasciitis the day after my half marathon in San Francisco in November 2010, my physiotherapist thinks it was due to the terrain (steep hills). But I kept running through the pain which made things a million times worse, to the point by January 2011 I was limping severely. I started seeing a massage…

You CAN do this! And you are most worthy of succeeding! Try telling yourself you are worth all this effort! Taking care of yourself doesn't always come naturally so we need to make a conscious effort! You want to live a healthy life for you and your kids so that you can be with them and truly enjoy lifes miracles!

Back on night shift ... just when I was getting used to being up at regular hours time for my 2 weeks of night shifts ... *sigh* I should have married rich :P
