I wouldn't call myself a runner per se, but I am liking it more and more. So you might find me posting on here occasionally. I have been running about 2-3x per week for about 30 min each time. I'm not fast, about 12 min mile, but I can go longer that way. Sometimes I run outside in my neighborhood, or sometimes its the…

My boyfriend proposed one month ago at 11,300 ft after spring mountaineering in the mountains. Then we slid down the snow on our butts! I'd post a picture here I took but I don't know how... I put it on my profile though.

It was a long weekend with lots of eating out and little exercise, so I put about 1 lb back on. Not a huge deal. It will come off again easily. I have been hovering around 143-144 for 2 months now. Now that our traveling is over for the summer I can work on those last 4-9 lbs. Hope everyone else is doing well and had a…

Hi all. I have been out of town and eating awful for the last 5 days. I will not be weighing in this week. Sounds like everyone has plans lately. I will check in again next week and hopefully not be disappointed with the results. Good job for those with a loss! Have fun trips!:drinker:

I have had a great day. A little sore from my personal training session yesterday. She pushed me to my absolute maximum on the treadmill and I thought I was going to die, but it felt good to know that I could have never done that well 8 months ago. However, I have a potluck tomorrow night and will be out of town traveling…

My personal trainer couldn't get the VoX machine to work, it was being tempermental, so we will try it again next week. She did body fat but didn't have the chart either, so those results next week too... We did a basic fit test and my ultimate max HR is 175. Average for my age (32) is 188, so I am in better shape than…

It depends on the type of clothes and body type. After 40 lbs I have gone from a tight 14 to a 10/12 in pants and a 8/10 in shorts and skirts. I have very muscular thighs so pants tend to be a size bigger...

My other challenge is almost at an end so I would like to join this one...??? I have about 4 lbs to hit the original goal that I set for myself 8 months ago (can you believe I have been on this site for 8 months?!). Now that I have seen the results I believe I can drop an additional 5 lbs, for a total of 9 lbs left. I am…

I am probably more sore today, but I weighed anyway. Good results. Lots of leg muscle these last few weeks. I need to concentrate on my arms, abs and thighs. Start MFP (NOV 07) - 182.5 Last week - 145 Today - 143.5 Goal - 135/140 I am going to order my wedding dress (a cute white Hawaiian sundress) this week so that I have…

I went on another huge mountaineering trip yesterday, so I will weigh in tomorrow because my muscles are pretty sore and swollen, and I don't think I drank enough water. But the trip was good, we almost made it to the top of a 11,000 ft peak covered in snow - and it was really fun sliding back down! I also have another…

Tim you are doing awesome! :bigsmile: I am really wishing that I had taken "before" pictures, but I hated the way I looked. I think I am going to put on a pair of pants that used to fit me and show how big they are now... Rookie - yeah, you are around!! You are still over half way to your goal which is great! Keep it up!…

Thanks dothompson! We went to Belize several years ago and that is why we want to return. What an amazing country for its size!! Caye Caulker here we come again!!!

Well, I think it's just down to 3-4 of us but hang in there! We are close! I had a great week. Hiked up the steep local ski hill 3x last week and 1x so far this week. I'm only getting about 350 cals out of it now that I am in shape, but it's nice to be outside (and I can take the lift down to appease my knees). I am just…

That sounds great! I just got engaged on Sunday! and it was the same scenerio - I knew he was going to ask but didn't know when. It was still very special. We are also thinking of an island wedding. We should start up a Wedding Challenge or something...I may only have 3 months to reach my goal, or 10! :happy:

:drinker: That's great erin! Glad to have you back and motivated! I think everyone is bound to have bad days, weeks, months, but that's why we are here as a support team! Keep it up!
-
I'm still around - just swamped after being gone for 2 weeks! The official scale (my own) said I gained 6 lbs during 2 weeks of of training! I was so tired of being good for 7 months that I thoroughly enjoyed being bad for a little while. I ate everything under the sun if I felt like it - cookies, pastries, pizza,…
-
Yes, glad to have Rookie (looking fabulous!) and HH back again. Just goes to show that weight loss and a healthy lifestyle doesn't stop when you are close to your goal or too busy. It is always on the back of your mind, and for me at least, will be for quite some time. My training still continues for a few days. I hit the…

Welcome back erin! I had wondered where you disappeared to. Many people from this group come and go as the summer gets busier, myself included. I am at work training for 2 weeks and am eating horribly! I don't think I will want to weigh myself until July!!:noway:
-
Welcome! Glad to have you. I think our main goal is somewhere in mid July... This is a great site for so many reasons, which I am sure you will find. I like that you are biking so much. I wish I had a road bike for that reason. However, 1000 net cals sounds a low. Very few people go below 1200 for health reason. How do you…
-
To be honest I don't know what I weigh right now because I am at a training center without a scale. Not a bad thing considering how much yummy food there is as well...... I know I will gain over the next 2 weeks but I am trying to keep it to a minimum. Anything less than 3-4 lbs is acceptable. There is also a nice gym that…

Bob Dylan introduced the Beatles to marijuana. John Lennon was the only Beatle that didn't marry an American. Every Beatle dropped out of school. The song "Hey Jude" is not actually on a Beatles album. The song "Yesterday" was originally called Scrambled Eggs.

I am happy to say that I stayed the same over the weekend and lost almost 2 lbs in the last week. I was retaining water last week so that probably accounts for the big loss so close to my goal. I feel like I ate a ton over the weekend (I know I did for breakfast Monday:tongue: ), but I just think my metabolism is higher…

Congrats Tim for being close to your goal. What are you using to measure your body fat? Nicole you are over halfway there! Yeah!! I had the in-laws all weekend so I am going to wait and weigh in later this week. I didn't do to bad food wise, but didn't have much exercise time. I'm going to hit the gym tonight. Hope…

Ladies, come on... Matthew McConaghy!! Have you seen those abs?? And that soft Texas drawl...:love:
-
This exact thing happened to me. I've lost most of my 37 lbs during the winter and was wearing bulky sweaters, etc. Now that it has warmed up and I can wear shorts and t-shirts I have friends that have seen me every week for 6 months finally notice the difference and say something! And, boy, have they noticed... They all…

Ok, I weighed in this morning after giving my body a break yesterday and the results are in... Start MFP (Nov 07) - 182.5 Last week - 150 *mostly water gain I think Today - 146 My original goal was 140, then 138, and now I am thinking of changing it back to 140. Size wise I think I am actually about the same, or even one…

Kistinbee said she was super busy last week, so I thought I would start this week's post. However, I did not weigh in this morning because I went to a Chili-Cook Off yesterday and probably consumed a weeks worth of salt. :tongue: I will check in with the weight tomorrow. On a good note, I am still losing inches (well, 1/4…

I have had tendonitis in both hips and take Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength when it flares up. It has glucosamine combined with chondroitin and it seems to work well for me. My boyfriend was also recommended to take it for his shoulder that bothers him from a surgery. Not the cheapest stuff, but we can usually find it on 2…

Fisheries Biologist and government drone. If you are interested here is a short video made by a volunteer last summer that shows pretty much what I do all summer. It's a pretty good upper body workout lugging 500,000 fish around. During the winter I travel, plow snow and give the office cat something to sit on.…

Not many beer fans here... I, for one, LOVE beer! Tastes great, not filling, but who cares. A glass of white wine with dinner is nice occasionally, and hard liquor can disappear for all I care, but "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Ben Franklin The lowest cal beers are Michelob Ultra, Natural…
