Hi there! I'm 27, also from MA, and my highest weight was 197. :-) I'm at 168 now, aiming for 150! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I just re-started Couch 2 5k this week! (I had done it once before, but got hurt in an unrelated way in the middle and couldn't finish.) I'm aiming for a 5k near Memorial Day weekend, so I'm on a bit faster timeline than you. ;-) You could definitely do one in October following the program.

Height: 5'6 Current weight: 168 BMI: 27.1 (smack in the middle of the "overweight" category) Current size: ALL over the map. Anywhere from 10 to 14 (though pretty much all my 14s are baggy now, yay!) I really just want to be solidly into the "regular" sizes, a solid 10 would be lovely!

My favorite work lunch is a faux taco salad... black bean veggie burger over lettuce using salsa and/or guacamole as dressing. Yum. (Not sure about the gluten factor in veggie burgers, but I would assume there are GF options or you could make your own at home.) I also bring lots of soups. I either make a big batch on the…

I take a PNV and am definitely not PG, but my doctor suggested them for any woman of child bearing age as well as for sure taking them for 6-12 months before you try to get pregnant, so it's not always related. :-) I agree with watching sodium. I have low blood pressure too, but my doc has never been concerned with upping…

Yes and no, at least for me. I've always been able to lose weight, but have always had trouble maintaining, mainly because I didn't spend the time losing learning anything about how to eat. I ate a lot of frozen meals and prepacked stuff (100 cal packs), so everything was preportioned for me and I didn't have to figure it…

I love this! But yeah, I would remind yourself that you ended it for a reason. Onward and upward!

The Bubba burgers in the freezer. Tasty and convenient, but holy fat content, Batman!

I'll notice my pants cutting into my belly in a way they didn't the time before, and my hands get really puffy and my rings look and feel tight. No fun at all.

Bumping for future reference!

I can't take the pills, either, they make me sick to my stomach. Even taking them at night didn't help. I switched to gummy vitamins and I've done much better with those... I just make sure I track them since they are a bit sugary. :-)

This one time, at band camp... Seriously, I met MH at band camp for our college marching band. I was in the color guard, he played the sousaphone (the big tuba). We literally ran into each other during a break in rehearsal. We were friends for a few years and then started dating... and the rest is bank-geeky history. :-)

I drink regular coffee with one packet of sweetner (stevia at home, Splenda or Equal if I'm getting it out somewhere) and a small amount of skim milk (about a tablespoon) but I like my coffee pretty coffee flavored. :-) One of my friends swears by almond milk, either vanilla or coconut flavored.

I alternate between two weekday morning meals: Egg whites (1/4cup from a carton or 2 eggwhites) in the microwave for a minute and a half, topped with LF cheese on a sandwich thin. I usually mix a little Sriracha or seasoned salt in with the eggs. Oatmeal made with 1/3c quick cooking oats, 1/2 a scoop of vanilla protein…

I'm a social worker. I oversee/train/manage using a particular type of therapy in a bunch of different residential and community housing programs for adults and adolescents with serious mental illess, as well as doing individual trauma therapy.

Hawaii, the Big Island for 5 days and Oahu for 3. Aside from the VERY long flight from the east coast, it was amazing. We got to visit Pearl Harbor on Veterans Day, it was awesome.

There seem to be two different ideas in your post... Enjoy in moderation but also "torture" yourself by having little flexibility. I stick to my plan, and my plan includes things I really enjoy eating (chocolate!), just in moderate amounts that fit into my overall nutritional profile. On some level, we all know what we…
