  • Hi.. I am almost 41 years old and 5'8". I was orginally 164 and I am now at my goal of 145-146. Back in my younger days I was around 130-135 and I thought that is the weight I wanted to return to when I started this in January. But I changed my mind. I am running a few times a week (running 5K races), doing weight circuit…
  • Congrats on your first 5K. I just started running 1 1/2 years ago for the first time in my life and discovered I love it too. I have never run a 5K trail run though.. sounds fun. You look amazing.. way to go!!! whoo hoo on the doggie fund raising also!!!
  • 40 year old Mom of 2!!
  • I have to take makeup off before I work out (if I have any on in the first place) or it would be running down my face and into my eyes. I sweat A LOT!!!! :laugh:
  • Purdue Grad here!!! Go Boilermakers... or any Big Ten team (other than IU)!!!! hehehe!!!:laugh:
  • I suffer from shin splints also. Get your running stride checked out from a place like Fleet Feet and buy the right shoes. Don't do too much too soon, you shouldn't add more than 10% of the distance you are running from week to week. And I recently purchased calf sleeves and they are amazing. I have a neoprene type that I…
  • Good for you! I really like this group.. I find myself feeling so much better knowing that others battle the wino fight!! You all are very motivating !! thanks
  • I was a 2-3 drink a night girl and I have felt so much better the past 2 weeks without any in my system. I think I can do the occasional drink for a special occasion... but I just have to keep myself in check so A drink doesn't become 4. I am going to miss out on a good workout today too because I feel so tired and draggy…
  • ohhh i feel really bad about giving in to the evil cabernet last night. Went to a restaurant/bar with some friends. One of my friends lost her father right before Christmas and we treated her to a night out and some support. I was only going to have 2 glasses, then a round was bought for us....and I ate 2 chicken strips…
  • One of my pitfalls was my nightly red wine with popcorn. I still have my popcorn (just a smaller amount) but since I an cutting out wine, I have tried putting milk, or water or tea in a red wine glass. it is not the same but I swear the milk tastes better!!!
  • Wow!!! Way to go!!! You look so happy and healthy!!!:happy:
  • I and giving it a try too. Haven't had any wine since Dec. 30!!! (had to drive 13 hours home on the 1st so didn't have any on new years). I am just not going to buy any for a while. So far I have been doing pretty good. I would have 1-3 glasses of red wine a night and then start munching snacks. I feel better already. I…
  • HI, I just joined this past tuesday. Stopped drinking my nightly 2-3 glasses of red wine nightly and I have already lost 4 pounds!!! I also find myself mindlessly eating after the second glass!! I love my red wine so I hope to go back to a few glasses a week soon but for now...steering clear of it. I am 40 now (ahhhh,…
