Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the link. I did decide to just refuel as I needed during the race with Gu and protein bars. Bringing Gatorade also. I expect to be out there for 2 1/2 hours so I need something to keep me going. I'm doing the 21DSD, search on it if you want more info. I'm basically doing it to make…

I'm doing a 21 sugar detox which means no sugar whatsoever (including fruit) and no carbs as in refined flour, grains, and low-fat diary.

Get an egg cooker. I was given this one as a gift and LOVE it. Takes all the guesswork out. http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/cuisinart-cec-7-egg-cooker?ID=349435&cm_mmc=Google_DMA_Home_Dinnerware_PLA-_-PLA+Home+Brands+-+Dinnerware_PLA+-+Dinnerware+-+Cuisinart+-+2-_-21061972045_-_-_mkwid_g8dvKKx3_21061972045|-|g8dvKKx3

Never thought of looking in the freezer section for this! Thanks. I will have to check at PnS next time.

Morning otherwise I'll never do it.

If the Danskin work for you, keep using them. I love my Nike DriFit tshirts. I have two ProFit tanks from TJMaxx and like those also but Nike DriFit still beats anything I have. If your'e looking for some great shorts or skort, although they are a bit spendy, check out Athleta's Presto shorts and Contender skort. The skort…

I've started this DVD and love it. Some of the combinations are really difficult because they are moving so fast. I've done kickboxing in a class environment before and I still have trouble with the DVD at times. What's helped me is saying the moves out loud (shortening some like upper cut to upper) as you do them and do…

Congrats!! I completed my first 5k a few weeks ago and am doing another next weekend to keep me motivated. I've only run outside and had to run on the treadmill while on vacation recently and hated every second of it.

Ran my first 5k on 6/18, 3 days after finishing C25k, and ran it in 36 minutes, 40 seconds. Little bit quicker than what I was doing at home because of no hills. I need to sign up for another to keep me motivated.

I know how you feel. My mom wants to lose weight and we talked about what I'm doing. She says she should only eat 1200 calories and I'm like no way can you eat that few calories, you'll be starving. Then she goes on and on about carbs and proteins and I just don't know how to track it all and what it all means. I told her…

This is my next run and am scared to say the least! I could barely finish the 8 minute runs this morning but the hills around here are torture. I'm going to run in town where it's mostly flat and push myself to do it. I ran this morning and am wondering if I should go again tomorrow morning otherwise I'll need to wait…

I just finished Week 5, Day 2. I don't stretch before, I warm up for a minute or two and then start. Yes, the 5 minute warm up would probably do the same thing but other than my shins, I haven't injured myself so it works for me. I stretch out when I'm done. My shins killed me the first few weeks. Ice them afterwards and…

So then where are the thighs? Reading these descriptions on where to measure for hips seems like that would be my thighs also.

I will definitely shift your weight off of you. You may notice more inches coming off than weight but that's also a good thing. I burn anywhere from 700 - 1000 calories an hour. It all depends on how hard I work at it and my mood. The instructor will also make or break the class too but that's with anything. It is…

I just had guilty alfredo last night and have no regrets! To me, alfredo is like bacon, there is no substitute, just moderation :)

I love my Fiona bras also.

Moving Comfort!! I have two and love them but now need to order a smaller size :) Definitely price shop them though because prices vary.

Did you sign up yet?? You CAN do it!!!

I'm in Wk 3 of C25k. At first I have all sorts of thoughts running through my mind and start to get into the music. Once running, I thinking about my stride, my posture and concentrate on that, not too much though and have to stop myself from doing that. I think "Wow, I am really doing this and it's not all that bad" I…

Congrats on your success!!

You absolutely can do it! I was overweight and completely out of shape and completed it last year. I walked the entire thing with two other friends and we finished. That's all we wanted to do, is finish. I'm doing it again this year and have started a running program (C25k), 30DS and Zumba to get me in shape. So far I'm…

Measure yourself as the others suggested. And are you "sure" you don't eat that bad? Log your food for a few weeks and you may be surprised at how much more calories you're taking in than you thought.

I have no idea! I'm training for Tough Mudder also. I have been working out but haven't attempted a pull up yet.

Yep, Troop Leader and Troop Cookie Manager. 900 some boxes were in my garage on Tuesday but had the girls meeting that day also so they sorted and took with them when they left :)

I haven't done the Warrior Dash but have done Dirty Girl 5k Mud Run and Tough Mudder (10-11 miles NOT kilometers) and am doing both again this year. The 5k runs seem to be more "fun" but Tough Mudder will test you not only physically but mentally. I was completely out of shape last year doing Tough Mudder but still…

You don't need to spend a ton of money on an HRM. I have a Timex (T5G971) HRM for $39 from Amazon it works great. Gives me my average heart rate which I can then put in any heart rate calorie calculator to determine number of calories burned. Last night doing the 30 Day Shred, MFP and my HRM were off by one calorie burned.

Yep, Bisquick. I had 4. Maybe I picked the wrong Bisquick when recording it! I usually put raspberries on top but was lazy and crabby this morning so syrup it was :)

They should be able to. Takes a while to get it back though. It's been three months and we're almost out from last year so I'm anxious for them to call and say it's ready.

Venison (deer) bacon! It's the best and much fewer calories than regular bacon. It's especially good cooked on the grill. The only place you may be able to buy this though is at a true meat market and possibly not even there.

30DS works plain and simple. I did Workout 1 for about 3 weeks and have now switched to Workout 2 and Workout 2 is much better for me. It works my body much harder but I can still get through it. I've lost inches. the only number I know for sure is 1.5" around my natural waist. I'm down a pants size and yesterday I had to…
