just curious, do you still count calories on these 'cheat' days? im going for a visit back home and i know i MAY do a little cheating but i dont want to take it over board. im scared that if i stop counting with mfp or that if i get back into habit of making bad choices, that all my progress will go backwards and that i…

thanks! i usually run at a good pace that i feel is a pace that i can keep going for a long time. i have shin splints again so im taking, yet again, another break! But i shall do that. when i do run though, after the first mile i try to keep going, but after that i'll take breaks if i feel my legs hurt or if i feel like i…

aghhh man i've been wanting to do one of these for the past months...only because i like mud and getting dirty and because it looks so FUN!!!! there is one coming near me in September, it's just a 5k mud run with boot camp type obstacles.....i dont have anyone do it with so im probably not going to do it :( but it looks so…

i think you're about 135-140ish and now i actually want to know what you do really weigh because im in the exact same boat as you.. people say my weight is proportioned well or whatever...but that i dont look like i weigh as much as i do. and according to my BMI, Im obese :/ ha edit, guess i skipped the post where you…

thanks!! i think im on this same path....and i couldnt agree more, i prefer running for distance vs. speed what is the XC? My future college is a technical college. lol it's deleware tech....im transferring from a small 4 year school to a 2 year school...yeah weird i know. but thanks! i plan on talking to the coach as soon…

i actually have read it already but thanks anyway :)

oh man, after reading this thread...i think im about to go eat oatmeal...and i usually NEVER crave it! I eat it for breakfast maybe once or twice a week... I cook mine with almond milkk....and i add a banana, raisins, and cinnamon! it's so yummy! after reading this though, i think im gonna go make it now and add some…

i just ran across this while looking up recipes...let me add my two sense. i prefer corn torts over flour any day, not only because they're healthier, but i like the way they taste. 2 corn torts have 100 calories, while 2 flour probably averages about 200 something calories.... I use corn torts for EVERYYTHING, i mean…

i just LOVE it. i feel like my mind is at ease when i run...i forget about everything else going on in my life and running is my only focus. same for me, i wasn't this good when i first started and didnt know how much id love it either. but i love the challenge and i love pushing myself and seeing how far my body can go

thanks! right now im running in some new balance shoes. i just asked the lady at the store what shoes were good for running and these were a pair that were on the rack that she pointed to....i will do that. that will be costly so it might be a while before i get new ones but when i do i'll make sure to get fitted

wait...so these first 10lb i lost is water and not fat?? im confused. when people say "water weight" i feel like its the part that fluctuates....

i just hit it as well and i feel the same way! i was like oh...10lb! i thought id see some physical difference by now or that others besides family would notice....but nope! I have noticed that some pants fit a little smaller, but i dont think it's a whole pant size yet :( i wonder how many lb = a pant size! Ugh, maybe…

Girl I totally understand! I'm 5'4 and curvy as well. I want to get to 145. The size I am now doesn't even look bad because it evens out since I'm thick in all the right places ;) but I still don't like my body. Can't wait til I reach my goal! I'm gonna be so happy :) add me! I love motivating folks!

I'm 21 and a social work major ....how fun haha just here to make friends and keep up the motivation! I'm always scared ill give up...it's just a fear of mine! Praying I NEVER give up and looking forward to friends here for inspiration, motivation, and support :)
