A lady I hadn't seen in 2-3 years commented that I've gotten taller. Considering I'm 26 and haven't gained an inch in 12 years, I think she just couldn't process my weight loss :)

I'm a teacher. I pre-plan my days. My nightly routine includes deciding what I want the next day, pre-logging everything into MFP, and then packing my food up before bed. After dinner, I make sure I don't need to make any edits to my log and then I complete the entry.

I just plain love my body. --I love that if I need to run to the copy machine real quick, I can actually *run* --I love that I can unstick a tightly spun faucet when redoing my bathroom. --I love that I can squat down to help a student with their work and get back up without incident ;) The power and grace of a well cared…

There's a lot of great videos on Netflix and YouTube!

For me, I just feel like my weight loss/exercise plan/food intake/etc. is not a topic of conversation for my friends. We have so many more interesting things to do and talk about than my jean size. If/when someone makes a negative/sly comment, I choose to brush it off.

I rinse/drip dry after every workout and then machine wash/line dry every week.

A couple of weeks ago, a cicada just dropped from the sky and landed under my foot. 1. I HATE cicadas. 2. That thing crunched sooo loud. Gross!

No incline, so that isn't it. I bought these sneakers in March, so that shouldn't be the issue either. :(
-
I think they all sound fun! If I had to guess, Aqua Fiesta is probably the easiest one. The deep water classes will be more challenging.

Every couple of weeks I make up a batch of "freezer burritos" for breakfast. You need: 10 Wraps (Tumaro's brand are good - low cal/high fiber) 12 Eggs 1 Cup of shredded cheese Jar of salsa (You can also include bacon or sausage, if you want) I scramble all the eggs together (mix in the cooked bacon or sausage at this…

I run because I love running. When I lace up my shoes and head out the door, my mood lifts. The longer I'm out there, the more peace I find. If you don't enjoy running, though, I don't see why you should do it. Cycling is an excellent type of physical activity! If that's what you enjoy, do it! Edit: ha! I'm a moron, I read…

That sounds like a recipe for injury to me. There is no harm in walking part (or all!) of a 5K. You aren't in contention for placing, so your time only matters to you.

I am madly in love with my Brooks Ghost 4s.

I joined the day after Christmas. I didn't make a conscious "New Year's Resolution;" I just decided I didn't want to be fat anymore. I have logged in every single day since then, I have worked out at least 6 days a week without fail (except for one total rest week to heal a hip injury). I've become a runner, I have quit…

Plan ahead. I plan the next day before I go to bed. If my mood changes, I know how many calories I have to play with.

I had a really lovely 3 mile run at 7 this morning.

Well, I'm not looking to be a size 2' but I'm what you described. I'm 5'5" looking to get to about 145 lbs (currently 157 down from 190), but for me 145 lbs will probably be a size 10 (maaaaaybe a size 8 in the right brand). I have hips for days :)
-
Yep, pretty much the same route every time. And it says my GPS signal is good.
-
Apparently, I just needed to complain a little to break my plateau. I'm down 1.6 lbs as of this morning!
-
My advice is to cut the negative self talk. Your self is not fat. Your self is kind, and smart, and talented and wonderful. Don't sabotage yourself before you've had a chance to find success! :)

I like to run fasted.

Anyone?

Running my numbers the way it's described on the fat2fit ratio (which I'm currently using) the maintenance calories for my goal weight @ moderately active is 2277. This is what I've been doing for the lat month, in which I have maintained. Running my numbers as described on the TDEE/BMR sticky, my TDEE is 2369, 15% cut is…

Oops! Never mind, I need to resize.

It's alright. The swelling is gone. I have a spectacular bruise. It's a little tender, but it's all surface (no joint pain). So, I'm about to get ready to head out for my first 5K :)
-
Any thoughts on how to ghetto rig a compression bandage? I don't have one, but I now have what looks like a ping pong ball on my knee.
-
I always giggle when "Sexy and I Know it" comes on at the gym.
-
I recently went cold turkey as well. I've never attempted a quit before, but heard that a lot of people gained weight because of snacking. So, I picked up a bag of jolly ranchers. One candy is about 20 calories, and takes about as long to eat (sucking, not chewing) as it would take me to smoke. I found that I only needed…

Great job!
