I have to agree that I have a love/hate relationship with my scale. I'm actually picking up a new one after work today because I can't see the numbers on my current one. I do try to use it as a tool instead of letting it run me. I, personally, like the sense of accomplishment as I see the numbers go down and I can see…

Yep that's me as well. I usually don't add work out calories in until after I eat dinner

Looking awesome! Great job!

A lot of people start with Couch to 5k and go from there. Others just go. Don't go too fast too soon. It will lead to injury. I actually prefer the Jeff Galloway method (google him) as it's better for my knees and lower back after some issues in high school. I've only been running since January but I'm slowly getting…

Same story here. Running my first 10k at the end of May as well! First race for me.

It sounds like you're thinking about dealing with the pain because of the cost. Not the best plan. I went to my running store and got a pair of stability shoes, they were good, but after about 2 months, they just didn't feel right. I took them back and exchanged them. The second pair I got were horrible. Literally, a 10…

I've been your boyfriend. My husband is skinny and healthy and I am overweight. He nagged me for YEARS about my weight. I had lost 35 lbs on WW and eventually gained it back. He was worried about me, but nothing pushed ME to want to make the change. Eventually we read the 5 Love Languages book and his language was "Acts of…

Whenever I'm hungry. I eat breakfast around 8-830, then a snack around 10-1030, then lunch at 12, MAYBE snack after lunch, then dinner between 5-6, then maybe a snack after. I'm usually not hungry at the end of the day as long as I don't go hungry

My knees always used to hurt when I would try to run. Once I got fitted for shoes (I went through 3 pairs by the time I found the ones) now my knees NEVER hurt. I joined a local running group to train. Also, by running store, we aren't referring to a sporting goods store, but a real running store. Best decision I made.…

I use this one as well. It works for me and I don't usually have an issue putting anything in it. We have 2 and H and I rotate them. I also have a Vera Bradley cooler that I bring when I need to

Do you really want to be the girl in heels at the gym? No? Didn't think so. I'm always in work out clothes, baggy shirts with my hair up and a headband. You aren't there for them and clearly they are (I'm guessing) cardio bunnies that just HAVE to have that summer body that they've worked for since April 1st. Wear what you…

Turkey and cheese sandwich on flat bread, veggie chips, and some FF Cottage cheese. My go to when I'm too lazy to make anything else but delicious
-
I'm also doing 1200 (though it's almost always more because of exercise) and I've added a snack after breakfast and after lunch. I don't do meal replacement shakes. You need FOOD. For lunch I'll do soup, crackers, veggie chips and I'm good. Or maybe I'll make a sandwich with some cottage cheese and pretzel sticks. For…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE soup. It's my favorite thing to eat! Potato is my go to. So of course it was hard to eat with counting. I gave this one a shot and I was completely sold. I almost always have some frozen in my freezer and will take it for lunch. It keeps my full and it's so good!…

Today I am, but I try really hard not to. My body holds on to it for a couple days and I just don't feel great. Sodium doesn't affect my hubby as much so we are all different. But on average, MAYBE once a week and almost always only of I go out to eat, which is rare.

Feel free to add me as well! 5'2 and started at 200, I'm now on 50 days of tracking after starting walking/running/weights, in December. Now down to 182, weighing in tomorrow (!!!!!). It's hard but it gets easier and easier!
-
Jumping on the band wagon about getting fitted. I always had horrible shin splints that made me not want to run. I went to my local store and got fitted and learned that I didn't have enough stability in my shoe. I got fitted and got a pair of Sauconys. The great thing about most stores is that they don't have a "return"…

Definitely new here. I started with the Galloway method and joined a running group. It's hard, but I love looking at how far I've come in such a short amount of time. I'm almost at 4 miles and I got winded running with my dog or walking stairs. It gets easier! Feel free to add me, it's nice to know you're not alone!

Truthfully, I'd never push back my wedding to lose weight. Just stay focused and really stay on track. I'd love to lose about 45 lbs but I know that I may not be able to by September (our wedding month), after a 2 year engagement, but I know I'll be so happy that day that I'll be happy with whatever lose I get and my FI…

I always tried to eat something high in protein and fiber and drank A LOT of water when I was studying for finals. I have ADD so I get so bored studying that I want to go eat. Something else I'd do was go to the library and not take any money, or not enough to buy anything so I wouldn't be tempted to get something. We…

I'm not a mom but my little sister is about 12 and we all know how kids are. When I listen to her I start thinking about my weight but I know that I'll get it taken care of and they just don't have little filters on their mouths so I try not to take it personally. We'll win the weight battle. It's a daily thing.

I'm getting married in Sept and lost about 30 lbs previously on WW and just didn't like the new system so now I'm doing it this way. I just started today and just did my first day of 30 day shred. I have about 20 lbs to lose but certainly won't mind losing more than that lol
