Amen to the OP! I am a woman who is not afraid to eat :happy: I eat between 1900-2200 per day to maintain my weight loss. I know there are people, women especially, who think if they eat more they will gain weight but I'm here to say not so. Even as I was losing weight I found I had to increase my calories to lose more…

Small sustainable changes! I've kept the weight off for about 7 years now so it does work.
-
I guess there's not much to their no judgment zone :happy: I wear much less than that when I run outside in the summer and I also run in shorts and a sports bra on the TM at the gym. I'm sure there are people that don't like it but they can get over it! What she was wearing was perfectly acceptable unless your being judged…
-
And I'm here to tell you that you can keep the weight off! I'm going on about 7 years of maintaining my weight loss. While not always easy it is always worth it :smile: I tell people losing the weight is the easy part, keeping it off is where you really learn about yourself and just how strong you truly are! Great job, you…

The title made me laugh LOL Not only am a good runner but I'm very fit, very muscular and I give a good deal of credit to running and the person it has helped me to become :smile:
-
Great job! Yes, the first 10 for me was what I needed to really kick it in to high gear. I think your goal is very doable but don't beat yourself up if you don't hit it exactly. You go, you have fun and then you come back and get serious again :smile: We are going to Rome in a little bit over a year so I can run the Rome…

I buy from a local company and literally it is peanuts and salt, that's it :smile: It goes great with a big hunk of chocolate...just sayin :tongue:

So true :smile:

Here's what I see. People think there is a start and an end. The thing about living a healthier lifestyle is you live a healthier lifestyle for not just a few months but for the rest of your life. In the beginning you make HUGE changes but as you lose the weight it gets harder because you've made those big changes already.…

It will come off I promise :smile: My weight is up nearly 6 pounds from just a few days ago but I knew I was going over on the sodium this weekend so it was expected. In a few days it will drop back to my normal weight. Just keep pushing water today and flushing the sodium out. It is what I do and it works every single…

You're moving and that is what counts :happy:

I don't have a gym at work but I belong to Snap Fitness and there is one that is just a few blocks away. During the summer I'll go out and walk for 15-20 minutes. I'm lucky that my boss is a triathlete so she understands my need for fitness :smile: I can work from home and do quite a bit so I can also use my bike (on the…

Hmmm....looks like you are right! Well it doesn't matter as the OP obviously clueless :smile: I guess we report the spam and move on doing what works for us. Have a great day, I'm off to log some calories :happy:
-
I've kept over 100 pounds off for seven plus years by changing my life. I count calories 6 days a week and take Saturdays off from counting and that means a cheat meal or two as well. In my experience those that gain the weight back are people who think there is a start and finish to losing weight. The truth is once you…
-
Yep! I changed my entire life from top to bottom and counting calories is a part of that change. A diet is something you start and finish but changing how you live your life goes on forever.
-
He supports me in every single way. He is always at the finish line of a race, even the marathons! He is always the first one to say you can do that babe. When I was thinking about doing a triathlon but scared of the swim he said I was the toughest woman he knows and he knew without a doubt I could do it. He tells me he…

Going Gluten free is a fad and eventually people will figure out Gluten is not the devil it is made out to be. I have a friend who is Gluten free because she has MS. I know other people that go Gluten free because it is the in thing to do right now :wink: I'm of the mindset that if it bothers you don't eat it and if it…
-
Oh I love it when I see someone say change your lifestyle. I never looked at it as a diet, I had to change everything about how I lived. From what I ate down to the fact I was a major couch potato!
-
Well I'm gonna :laugh: Eat less, move more! It is as simple as calories in and calories out and by calories I mean good healthy calories but if you need to eat processed foods for whatever reason, try to eat healthy things with it.
-
Well I'm not 5'6 but I sure do wish LOL I'm 5'2 and have been maintaining for about 6-7 years now after losing 100 pounds. I eat anywhere from 1900-2300 calories a day. A good mix of carbs, protein and fresh fruits and veggies. I work out about 1-2 hours a day everyday because I enjoy it and it is relaxing for me. I run,…

Oh boy! Whenever I see a thread like this I just sit back and watch the war begin LOL

While running is one of the best ways to lose weight, I would say make sure to change it up. Go hard on some days easy on others. I walked for my first 50 pounds lost and then dropped another 50 by moving to running. I do Cross Fit, I use the Arc at the gym, lift weights and use my bike on the trainer now for winter and…

Just took my fourth class this morning and it was incredibly hard! That said, it was an awesome mix of cardio and weights. Each set of exercises we did worked pretty much our entire body. If the exhaustion I feel right now is any indication it was a good class :laugh: My reason for joining was I'm a runner who is trying to…

1200 for first two weeks. 1500 until I reached my goal weight and now 1900-2300 per day. I need to say though that I work out for at least an hour a day so that is why my calories are higher. I run marathons and other races so I have to be very careful not to eat too little which results in weight loss but that loss is…
-
Once a week I don't log my calories and I have a cheat meal and I've been doing this for several years. There was one day where I ate four donuts...FOUR! Not only did I cheat but I binged and I was so ashamed of myself afterwards. I felt disgusted and worst of all I had no one to blame but myself. I know I'm capable of…

In the store my New Balance run about $100 but via Amazon I can get them for $80 with free shipping. I love to use the local stores as much as possible so when they're on sale I grab them but that isn't always possible. Our local New Balance store is having a big sale this week so I'm sure I'll be grabbing a pair...or five…

I'm not sure I ever really picked a goal weight. I guess in the back of my mind I knew where I thought I should be but that isn't the way everything worked out. I run and have a lot of muscle so my weight doesn't always match the size of clothing I wear. I've had people tell me there is no way I can wear a 0 and weigh 132…
-
Without being fitted for shoes you are asking for trouble. I know they are expensive but quite honestly you won't ever make a better investment when it comes to running! I just switched to New Balance from the Puma's that I loved but are no longer being made. I was fitted for them based on what I was wearing and told if…

Fresh blueberries on a couple scoops of ice cream. Frozen grapes. Graham crackers with cool whip in between and frozen. Yogurt with fresh fruit.

Pretty much most of them are, this is no exception! To each their own but I hate to see people throw their money away on stuff like this. I really love the 'shakeology combined with healthy eating and exercise will change your results'...duh! Healthy eating and exercise are exactly how I not only lost all of my weight but…
