Yes. I take a calcium/iron supplement if needed. I try to get my 100% from food, but if i'm short, i'll take a supplement and log it, making sure I meet my nutritonal needs for those two items.

I might be possible, but you will find that the closer you are to your goal weight, the slower it's going to come off. Plus you're running quite a bit. At a certain point, you're going to need to fuel those runs and will need to eat more. That will also slow down your weight loss. I run 25-30 miles a week and definitely…

I threw my name in for the NY lottery too. For most races, I try to get early bird pricing which runs between $75 and $100. Savannah is on my bucket list, but I think the timing is off for me as I've already commited to a full in October (which I will back down to a half if I get into NY)

Three words - Key. Lime. Pie.

That makes better sense. I just ran my 8th half marathon last weekend. It's very rewarding. Good luck to you.

Will you be able to finish? Yes. Will you be able to run the whole thing? That's very questionable. Like someone else said, most training plans start at 3 miles. Google Hal Hidgon and Jeff Galloway. Most people recommend their training plans for novices. Also to note, you'll need more than a "few" practice runs. Most plans…

I pack my running shoes. I also order carefully off the menu, opting for seafood, appetizer sized salads and appetizers. I don't use vacation as an excuse to pig out, though I do use it as an excuse to drink fou-fou drinks :drinker:

I'm on level 2, which is kicking my abs *kitten*. I found level 1 to be pretty easy, but that's probably because prior to starting, I finished off the 30DS. Level 3 of 30DS makes level 1 of RI30 look like a walk in the park. It does get more difficult though.

You don't think there's a difference between putting a gallon of milk in your cart and doing several sets up reps?

Just cause I like you............. Clif Bar & Company is committed to sourcing ingredients that are not genetically engineered in all of our products. We have stringent protocols for GMOs which includes requiring affidavits from ingredient suppliers demonstrating they can meet our non GMO requirements.

70% organic, but who's counting............ Ingredients: LunaPro ® (Soy Rice Crisps [Soy Protein Isolate, Organic Rice Flour], Organic Toasted Oats [Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Dried Cane Syrup], Organic Soy Flour, Organic Flaxmeal), Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Blueberry Fruit Topping (Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Inulin,…

As someone who eats Fiber One protein bars, I'll agree with your nutritionist. They're nothing but junk food, disguised as a healthy snack and they really offer a very small amount of protein (I treat them like a candy bar/treat). But with that said, there are plenty of good choices made by Clif, EAS, etc. if you're…

And I like the Cliff Builder's Chocolate Mint.

Pork tenderloin, seafood, eggs/egg whites, plain zero fat greek yogurt, string cheese, milk. And a hamburger once in a while never killed anyone :-) I do eat peanut better pretty often, but you don't really get a lot of bang for your buck with it as far as protein is concerned.

I did the same for New York. Good luck!

The minimum I eat is my TDEE on a sedentary level and that's a bit above 1600 calories. When I run during the week, i'll add about 200-300 calories to that. When I run on saturday (9-12 miles), i'll add an extra 500-1000 to that. With that, i've lost about 5 pounds so far this year while training for a half marathon. You…

I'm with Carson. Through trial and error, i've discovered simple noodles with sauce work best for me (have tried both lasagna and pizza and neither did me any favors). And no reason to "load". Just have a regular serving like you would any other pasta night. I also make sure I meet my carb macros in 2-3 days ahead of time…

Monday - run 6 miles Tuesday - 30 minutes strength training Wednesday - run 6 miles Thursday - run 4.5 miles Friday - 30 minutes strength training Saturday - run 9-13 miles Sunday - 30 minutes strength training Rest on one of those strenght days every 10 days or so as needed.

Hi Anita - I'm also 50 and I've been here for several years and toyed with my goal weight, but more importantly, I found fitness. This site is awesome and I have some great running friends and lifting friends. My go to on the road is beef jerky, fruit, peanuts/almonds (in moderation) and water. Fast food is a tough one.…

My husband bought me a silver band with XIII.I engraved on it as a gift. http://www.endureshop.com/product/half-marathon-ring-xiiii

Are you 4'10 and own a shotgun?

I could live off the citrus chicken salad. I'm also a huge fan of the roasted beet salad.

I do the same and include the warm up. Comes out to 25 minutes total.

To answer the question about your daughter, many races will allow you to push a stroller for free, but please, please don't allow them to give your daughter a medal unless you've paid a registration fee for her. I just ran a race and paid entrants didn't receive their medals because people running with their children…

Congrats on your loss. I finished up the 30DS back in March and moved on to RI30. Level 1 of RI30 is like a walk in the park compared to level 3 of the 30DS. I hope level 2 is more challenging.

For the most part alone, however on my longs, I will sometimes run into runners I know and run a few miles with them. It seems to make the time and distance go faster. I'm starting marathon training in a few weeks and might join a group because 20 miles is a long distance to run alone. Plus it's my first full marathon and…

I do long runs on Saturday so have to be up around 6 (I get up at 5 on weekdays). If i'm running more than 10-11 miles that day, I definately take a nap in the afternoon! After getting up early for so many years, it's almost impossible for me to sleep past 7 no matter what the day.

I take a supplement. Trader Joes has a women's formula that contains both calcium and iron. Other than that, string cheese and yogurt are my daily go-tos. And a good steak for the iron!

One word...water. It happens with a new program. Don't stress about it. It will soon be gone.

I just started RI30 last week. 30DS is 28 minutes warm up to cool down. RI30 is 33 minutes. Difference is longer warm ups and cool downs. Main work out is the same, 3 circuits of 3,2,1.
