go on the saucony website and they have a shoe advisor tab that helps you deterime the right shoe for your stride based on where you impact (heal or mid foot) arch height and pronation. i was wearing the progrid 5 and loved them - but when i went to order another pair i used the shoe advisor and picked a different shoe…

party aliens can invade anytime. i will supply the alcohol as long as you just eat all the humans that try to be party poopers and annoy us.

yesterday i had a dream that aliens were in my back yard - i gave them a beer, they seemed friendly and fun.

right now i am the same way -- lack of sunshine is really killing my energy right now. April snow just makes me want to stay in bed all day (and i am one that loves winter, but it is time for it to be done) if it is a winter blues/ spring fever type of issue some people swear that vitamin D supplements help. for me they…

i work night shift - and one of my biggest weight loss problems is controlling "tired eating" -- it takes a lot of effort to not graze all night (specially when others bring in yummy snacks) and then sleeping during the day i have found myself eating without really realizing what i am doing. - yesterday i was exhausted,…

i love hunting but kinda suck at it. i lack any sort of patience and my aim sucks (mostly because i am not patient enought to aim properly). so i miss a lot of animals. so i end up with no dead animals to eat and i have been known to be attacked by animals. maybe i should change the thing i love to : sitting in the woods.…

i like vodka -- and vodka likes me. when i know i am going out on the weekend then i stick to the lower end of my calorie allowance during the week and then i can have a few drinks guilt free and not have to skip eating on drinking days. so far it is working for me.

flying high

it is a lot of different muscles used to run rather than walk - a lot more energy expenditure. i started off walking much faster than i ran. i now run faster than i walk (i am not fast by many standards) don't get discouraged it will get much better. and just keep running

i am 29 -- looking to lose about 20-30 pounds by my 30th birthday in july. feel free to add me

i know it is horrible to drink pop, i know the benefits of stopping pop. but like i said the week i went off pop i gained weight, and now i am back to losing 1-2 lbs a week even with drinking pop (offen in excess) so for now i am staying on it, trying to cut back, and focusing more on adding more water. (right now i have…

yeah!!! i met my goal for this challenge. !! down 15# since new years before: after:

soooo yeah -- i cut out pop for a week and found myself eating everything i could find because i wasn't satisfying a that craving for the taste of Diet Mountain Dew. ended up gaining a couple lb that week, so now i am back on my pop but now i force myself to drink at least 20 ounces of water between every can of pop. so…

i either mix dry oatmeal in some yogurt and let is sit for a couple hours (sometimes do this the night before) or i make a serving of hot oatmeal and mix in Ketle corn popcorn seasoning which is about 5 calories, or cinnamon and stevia. sometimes i mix in some PB2 when i want a peanut butter flavor or one cup oatmeal mixed…

im not - but is not my choice. Dang work ruins all my fun.

i added my name but when i tried to enter my info - the rows don't seem to be lining up properly. i will have to look at it again later.

whatcha talking about meow?

i would join again. i like this group - although it is very large so the posts sometimes get overwhelming for me so i often don't end up participating in the topics. it would be nice if the weekly challenges were laid out at the beginning of the challenge and somehow kept at the top of the list of posts, and i love the…

congrats!! i just crossed that threshhold this week too! cheers to being 'overweight" look out 'normal' here we come.

i use the fitbit and i love it - i have the ultra. and i like it because i feel it give a more accurate picture of my activity level. using this i can set my settings to sedentary and then i get calorie credits for my true activity level for that day - before i had it i had it set to fairly active - but in actuallity some…

i basically live in jeans 80% of the year - nothing better then jeans and sweatshirt weather. absolutely no skinny jeans or leggins here- even when i were underarmour under my jeans (for playing outside in the winter) i cant stand the feel of full length tightness on my legs. i like a nice bootcut or little flare. but i am…

i drink about every other weekend (and usually includes not the healthiest foods). i have been losing 1-2 lbs per week this year (2013) and havn't given up my alcohol. -if i know i am going out this coming weekend i try to plan ahead. i eat really good healthy foods throughout the week, and stay to the low end of my…

i am 29 - have about 40 more to lose. you can add me if you want

i have struggled with the same problems for as long as i can remember and i don't know if there is any true basis to this or not - but one thing that i found helps me is that i dont eat breakfast until about 10 am or later, i used to eat as soon as i got up, now i drink a couple of glasses of water first then eat. and…

on my days off i can easily sleep for 10+ hours, am fine with less but will take the sleep when i can get it. i work 12 hour nights so typically day one of work i am up for 24 hours, get 4-5 hours of sleep for the next couple of day (interupted sleep, as i have to drive to town at 3.5 hours to pick up my dtr) then sleep…

down 2 pounds - surprising based on how i spent the weekend with lots of beer and a few burgers, hotdogs... and junk. total down for 2013 equals 13 pounds

the 2600 is with everything you do during the day - not just with exercise. that is with walking to the bathroom, breathing, cooking, every little movement. - you get like 1500 calories just for being alive and breathing. so that would be 2600 calories a day to maintain your current weight.

big glass of ice water (chug 16 ounces) and distraction - if half hour later still have the craving then eat something small.

jillian micheals 30 day shred - does a grea job toning the body, it is a $10 dvd that you can buy many places like walmart or order online. and the workouts are about 25minutes.

i use the plain - old fashion rolled oats and mix a scoop in with some yogurt the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight and it is a great grab and go breakfast in the morning. one Yoplait light (variety of flavors) + 1/3 cup oats = 190 calories and is filling and delish. i also mix with pumpkin puree and some…
