I LOVED the couch to 5k! I used the app on my ipod and really liked it. The schedule alone kept me motivated to get up and go running. I think it works really great. I have successfully done a 5k, and am running about 4.5 miles every other day now without any trouble. Good luck with it and, above all, HAVE FUN!!! :)

Rice crispy treats. I like rice krispies, and I like marshmallows, but I do not like rice crispy treats. Weird, but true.

the socially-awkward hermit.

I won't post a picture because it might gross people out, but I have three fetal rats in jar in my room!! I also have a coyote skull, that I prepped myself!

I am usually always in jeans or something that covers my whole leg, so I only shave when necessary to begin with, and when I do, I usually don't shave the upper half. The hair on my thigh is pretty fine, and I usually never wear anything that shows off my thighs. But, when I do wear a bikini, I definitely shave the whole…

READING!!! Sitting on the deck with a book in one hand and my dog at my feet. Nothing better than that.

BASEBALL GAMES!!!! I try and save all my weekly calories for a night at the ballpark!!! Usual ballpark dinner: Hot dog with ketchup and relish or Boog's pit beef/turkey with extra sauce, big cup of french fries with ketchup and Old Bay Seasoning, funnel cake, peanuts or pistachios, and maybe even some Carvel ice cream with…

Its not gross, but most people are too scared or too closed-minded to try it: ANYTHING FOREIGN!!!!! I love eating anything that is real Indian food, coming straight from my east-Indian grandma's kitchen. If anyone has watched No Reservations or Bizarre Foods, I would eat almost anything you see on there. And I also love…

Saw it on Saturday, and I want it to be out on DVD RIGHT NOW!!! I loved it! It was a nice mix of action and comedy. Favorite character: Hawkeye! I love Jeremy Renner, and I think his character was pretty awesome! I hope they do a prequel movie just for his character.

Dancing like a maniac while home alone (I have no rhythm by the way). Picking pieces off the top of homemade bread, and eating the tops only from muffins. Planning for the zombie apocalypse. Making a one-pot dinner and eating straight out of the pot, while sitting on the couch watching a movie.

I have to wear scrubs everyday and I am also a bit of a tomboy, so my routine does not take too long. Running for 45 minutes. Shower and brush teeth. Get dressed (in scrubs). "Face routine": Moisturizer and a little foundation. Breakfast. Make lunch. Out the door. Takes me less than 40 minutes to get everything done after…

Dear 16 y/o me, Start actually studying and doing your homework when you get home, because you will need those skills for college. Make sure you have two back-up plans being prepared for if you don't get into vet school. Have as much fun as possible and enjoy your time. High school may be boring and pointless, but you will…

I know exactly how you feel! It is hard to stay motivated when you are near to, or have reached, the goals you originally set. What I am finding that helps is to write down a list of goals, both long-term and short-term. Now that you are running 6 miles consistently, have you thought about entering some 5k races? There are…

I really like Coke Zero, and most diet sodas. People say they are bad for you, but it is okay if you drink it in moderation. I usually have 1 soda a day, maybe. It is delicious. Try it out and decide for yourself.

I use the daily calories to make sure I don't over-snack. Other than that, I use my weekly net calories as a guide. There are some days that I go over because I am hungry all day, and others that I barely break 1000 because I am just not hungry. But, by the end of the week, every thing has equaled itself out. I think that…

Happy/excited mood: upbeat country and show/movie music Sad: slow country music Tired or wanting to relax: anything without lyrics (classical, slow movie theme songs) Angry: Anything up beat with the volume really loud.

I am comfortable just being me, even though others say I am far from a normal 24y/o. I am sometimes too serious about life, I have almost zero social skills, I love all kinds of movies from the "scariest", bloodiest horror to Disney, I don't drink alcohol, I don't go to parties/clubs/bars, I DVR Jeopardy, and I am usually…

Any kind of pasta! The creamier or saucier the better.

Super hot water, actual water pressure, and a drain that works. I do a lot of house sitting, and it is such a pain when their shower is not like mine.

The only movie to ever scare me (and still does) isn't even a horror movie, it is Arachnaphobia. Oddly enough though, the last movie that made me jump, was Jane Eyre. People and animals just popped out of no where like some crazy jack-in-the-box!

"Your not as big around your face and neck any more." Gee, thanks for that dad. I know I had a rounder face, but you didn't need to tell the whole diner!

I love wolves, and 2 was my number when I played soccer.

1) I never log the small spoonful of M&Ms I get from our candy dispenser (it is usually about 8 M&Ms). 2) I dance to music while I am cooking. 3) I have a solid plan for the zombie apocalypse.

I don't like to call them cheat days; I call them free days. Since starting MFP, I plan for a free day every week, but I usually don't use it. Even when I say "This day will be my free day", I still find myself making sure that I make good, healthy choices. I know there will be days where I will go over, but I don't fret…

I am having a whole Love Saga marathon. I am on the last one in the regular timeline, Love Finds A Home. Love the Love Saga!

I have never been through what you are going through, but I send you multitudes of support. All I can say, is take it one day at a time, find "good" food that you really like (vegetables, nuts...) that you can eat a little more of, but not feel too bad about eating them. Good luck with your journey, and I do hope you can…

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Good for you for deciding on a life change instead of a "diet". From my own experiences, I will lend these three bits of advice that I have found very helpful for my own change: 1) Buy a good heart rate monitor (HRM) that will show you how many calories you are actually burning in your exercises,…

I love having a nice bowl of cereal with skim milk. My current favorite is Special K Oats and Honey. Sometimes, though, I will have a bagel thin with a little reduced fat cream cheese. I have to eat breakfast in the morning, no matter what, so I try and keep different cereals on hand so I don't get bored. I have heard that…

Here is another mile for you! Good luck and I hope it is not a hill (unless you like them).

My breakfast and lunch are usually pretty small with cereal for breakfast, and a yogurt and veggies for lunch. I usually have a tupperware container full of veggies, and I eat those until I really feel full. Dinner is usually a big meal for me, but we try and cook foods that are low in calories, but still contain what we…
