I am running my first half in October and have gained a lot of great ideas from this post. I would love to have more friends that have done HM's before, or are training for one, so please add me!

Anyone can feel free to add me.

Anyone can feel free to add me.

I am also becoming obsessed! Love it! Feel free to add me, anyone.

No parking spaces left when I got there after work...it was insane but nice to see so many people trying to get healthy. As much as I hate the crowd I hope they stick with it.

It depends on the location. I deadlift, squat and such (obviously not a body builder levels but I do as heavy as I can) at my planet fitness and no one has said anything and others do it too. I love it there!

Amazing!

The instructor makes all the difference. It's between Zumba and Spin class for me.

Sure

Mine consists of V8 Light Fruit fusion, frozen fruit, flax seeds, some Special K Protein Water mix, and 3/4 c spinach. You can't taste the spinach and it is filling for me.

Make your own using a 100 calorie english muffin and fat free cheese. This does it for me.

Me too!

I've never done it in the microwave but I have found that if you soak it for at least 10 minutes before hand then it takes away a lot of the bitter taste.

I'm in my own world when I'm at the gym...not a social place for me.

I love planet fitness. You should give it a try...

Rice cakes, laughing cow cheese, turkey, fruit, carrots...

Seeing how many miles you are doing, I may not try this ;-) Have fun running!

Yep

Yes

I am also starting tomorrow and would love some friends!

I was on it for years, at a very high dosage, and didn't notice too much in the weight gain area but then again was not at a good weight to begin with. I also didn't see much relief from it.

I will also start training for a marathon.

If this is what you always do, and are not seeing results, switch it up some. I find that if I do the same thing every time it looses some of its effectiveness.

But I wonder what's wrong with Rice A Roni? Rice isn't wheat. Does that brand have gluten in it? The seasoning in the rice a roni has gluten in it.

Anyone can add me...I'm a bit addicted to logging in and logging everything no matter how good or bad.

Tub is full, dishes are washed, plenty of chicken is cooked and ready for salads, batteries/candles/flashlights placed throughout the house and heat is on and warming up the house so that when we loose power I don't freeze and school is already closed for tomorrow...power is flashing and winds are at at 35 mph right…

I'm also 5'6.5 and my goal is 150. I'll re-evaluate when I get there and if the muffin top isn't gone, then I will keep going! ;-)

I want in! Anyone please add me.

My 1 rep max is 125 w/o assistance; my 5 rep max is 95 w/o assistance.

I've been gluten free for about five months and have totally cut out my migraines (they were debilitating and at least once a week) as well as all fibromyalgia symptoms. I'm off all my meds and have seriously reduced acid reflux symptoms as well. I feel great and feel like crap if I cheat, even just a little. In my…
