I bought a sports bra in an actual store. Not a plus size store, or an online store for pick up. An actual store. I wear a 38h, this is a seriously big deal to find a running bra that fit. I called my husband to the fitting room to see if he thought it fit and even he was surprised. This thing fit me. From a regular store.…

7 months after I got run over by a car and damaged the nerves and tendons in my foot I am finally able to jog again. 3 days in a row on the beach with my dog. No more streets for me, there are crazy people out there!

A little over a month since I damaged my tendons, ligaments, and nerves in my foot when I got hit by a car I am finally able to walk a half mile at a time before it starts hurting. I am slowly working myself back up to 10K steps a day. I want that foot in top condition before we head to Europe this fall

100 days logging in. I fell off the wagon pretty hard for about a week, but rather than stay there and keep eating crap I climbed back on, thought I had gained about 5'pounds but it turns out it must have been water weight (thankfully). Even with that I was still logging every day. So here's to being back on track and a…

Going to tour Europe this fall, I want to be comfortable for the super long flight and like how I look in pictures

Only ate half of my birthday tiramisu, also I guess I no longer have sausage fingers because my wedding ring fell off in my sleep. I was in a panic looking for it and found it stuck to my husband's leg. I guess it's time to get it resized because I don't want to lose it for real. It isn't big or blingy but it's perfect to…

After having to take off a week and a half, almost 2 weeks, because of a slipped disk in my lower back, I started C25K again today where I left off. Instead of turning around at the halfway point I kept going and turned around and walked home at the end of the last run (week 4 day 3). I'm so glad I did because we saw an…

Had a bulging disk in my lower back L4-S1 that I had to get adjusted by the chiropractor, since i work so many hours it took me several days to make it over there. The location of the pain was at this weird place where it hurt to sit, really hurt to go from sitting to standing, but almost no pain at all walking or jogging.…

I have noticed that a lot of people that say they are on low carb/high fat (myself included) are actually practicing more of a low carb/moderate fat. It is very similar to a diabetic diet actually (unless you are going for ketosis). It works very well for my husband and myself because both of us are more satiated with the…

The dog actually caught me by surprise, she's only about 30 pounds, I carry the pepper spray because we run on the beach before dawn and sometimes there are coyotes in the dunes. I'm not scared of them for me but I'm pretty sure they look at my dog like a snack, but your reply made me literally lol

Despite a crappy day that started with my dog pulling me face first into a sand dune, accidentally pepper spraying myself, and having to cut the last 3 mins off of my run (you know, because I freaking pepper sprayed myself) I managed to not eat the candy bar and got up and went out again this morning. Sans pepper spray.

Not sure if it's a reward or a goal, but we are taking a family vacation and touring Europe for 3 weeks this fall. I am going to be healthy enough to do all the walking tours I want to do (which is really the best way to explore an area) and skinny enough to not want to crop myself out of all of the pictures on what is a…

8 months sober today and lost another pants size this week. I was almost giddy when I found a pair of Michael Kors jeans at the thrift store and they fit me! Happy dance was when they were 3.99

My husband and I have been doing low carb/high fat for about 2 months now. I'm down 32 pounds and he is down 14. We have 1 meal a week where we do eat whatever we want but have noticed that even then we still don't go carb crazy. We keep it around 50 grams net carbs a day and feel fuller for longer eating less food.…

My jeans I was so excited about fitting into last week (because they were 3 sizes smaller than my old ones) already have started to become loose at the waist, another week and they'll be falling off at this rate

Got up early and put in a couple of miles with the dog before work after taking almost a week off because of the flu. It's always hard for me to get back in the groove after taking more than a day or 2 off, so I was feeling like crap but still pretty pleased with myself. Now if this cough would clear up I could get back to…

Had to buy some new jeans because the old ones were falling off, tried on a size smaller and they were still too big, had to go down 2 sizes. Gotta love the thrift store because I'll be shrinking for a while :smile:

Where the heck do you live that you have a 6 block incline?! The highest elevation where I am is roughly 20 feet above see level. I can't even imagine hills like that!

My toe wore a hole in my running shoes and left me with a nasty blister on my big toe and a shoe full of sand yesterday. Today I put a bandaid on it, doubled up the socks, and the dog and I still did 2 miles this morning. Decided it was time to buy a new pair of shoes and the same brand, same shoe, is a full size smaller…

7 months sober, 2 sizes smaller in pants, still have the boobs, and today the dog and I did 1.7 miles in 20 mins (down from 30 just last week). Next is trying to find a sports bra that actually fits the boobs as I have been incredibly unsuccessful in this endeavor

My XXL running shorts are too big even after drying on high heat, time to invest in a smaller pair :smiley:

I have been counting mine and am hanging at right about 1700-1800 and he eats more than I do, so it's a pretty fair estimate. Going to take a closer look at how he is taking his supplements and make sure he isn't taking with dairy, and that he takes it with orange juice since vitamin c supplements really hurt his stomach.…

He is actually eating more than before, just healthier food, probably 2k calories a day, and several times a day instead of his old habit of eating one big meal and lots of soda the rest of the day.

I started taking 2 packs of the highly absorpbable iron a day (with the rules above) and i only had minimal results in 6 weeks. at 3 months in i was within normal levels. So it definitely takes time. Oh wow, didn't realize it would be that long, thank you.

They aren't sure exactly what caused the anemia as there were a few things all at once. Even though his bilirubin is at the high end of the normal spectrum his liver doesn't seem to be working full force. They discovered that when he was hospitalized for throwing up blood. He lost a lot of blood due to tears in his…

Thanks for the advice, I guess it's time to start searching for a real store :)

90 days sober, and my morning run didn't hurt at all, if I didn't have to go to work I could have gone further.

Spinach stuffed chicken with (brown) rice pilaf chicken breast pounded to about 1/4 inch thick, wilt 2 or 3 cups spinach (I cheat and use the microwave for a few seconds) I mix the spinach with 1/4 cup fat free sour cream and 1/4 cup mozzarella, then spoon the mixture onto the chicken, then I fold it over, wrap it in…

Green chili chicken pot pies made with Hatch green chilis. My parents came to visit at Christmas and brought me 20lbs for my freezer. I am so happy! I also make my own hot sauce with it

I like a hard boiled egg, sometimes with oatmeal or a piece of wheat toast, and either a banana or a nectarine, but the fruit varies depending on the time of year. When I have a rare day off I will make omelets for my hubby and I using 2 eggs each, 2% cheese, and either turkey bacon or turkey chorizo with some of my…
