Pancakes made using one banana and one egg. Two pieces of turkey sausage and some iced coffee. Breakfast of champions!

I'm double tracking right now myself and have to do it all manually. A couple years ago I lost 30 pounds counting calories on MFP. Gained back 20 hence why I'm back. Work offered a discount for weight watchers so I figured I'd give it a try and see how it differed. I am on the fence. I like the point values a lot better…

I'm no expert but it seems like you are doing too much too soon. You need to slowly increase your distance. People train for a 5K just as people train for a marathon, just differently obviously. If you need to walk part of the 5K that is fine, I did a 5K a month ago and I certainly was unable to run the whole thing when…

I know garmin has their own heart rate monitor but i just bought the H7 to integrate with my phone and really don't want to spend the extra money. My max HR and avg HR are almost exactly the same each time I exercise so i don't see the need to spend money for another HR monitor I will eventually stop using. I will always…

I use the polar h7 and it works just fine with runkeeper. However, I am leaving runkeeper for a garmin forerunner 220 (sad to have to start earning my PR's again)
-
I have two pairs of the ghost 7's, they are a great shoe!
-
I actually just bought the forerunner 220 today for that exact reason. I find wearing my iphone in an armband annoying. I do use a polar heart rate monitor but found I never look at it while I run, just afterwards to see how I did. I have the new one that connects via bluetooth to my iphone so this is what I will be doing…

when i was doing zumba i had some ankle pain so i researched and bought nike mystique which are meant for dancing but most of the reviews people were buying for zumba. they hurt my feet so back i returned them. the two different classes i did were at dance studios so hardwood floors. but, there lots of positive reviews for…

i got the fitbit flex a week ago and i like it. it is a nice tool to have if you need motivation to get up and move. my favorite part of it is the sleep tracking.
-
darn, i wish i had known this! i have been wanting it but lost track of checking for a release date. I could have bought one friday or today and now i can't until monday, and my luck they will be sold out. I am still not convinced just how helpful it will be for me so everyone who got one please post their reviews!

you know what's better than bacon? more bacon! but seriously i don't know what it is about it but i like it. in that same breath i also couldn't tell you the last time i had some, maybe christmas time?
-
i wasn't going to but i'm glad i did. I didn't take mine until I had already lost around 8-10 pounds. I remember what I looked like, as do my friends, but when i do side by side compares it is amazing. I never see what is truly in the mirror, if i'm fat i see not fat, if i'm thin i see fat. I am grateful i took the…

you look great! keep up the good work!

I have worked through the disappointment of my brothers not saying anything. I posted a thread on here when I was at my most angry about them and all the replies really helped me. I did finally call one of my brothers out on it and he replied with "yes, i'm a jerk, i noticed, good job". ugh wtf. oh well. anyway, that is…

"Sounds like you made it to goal #1 and are simply in need of a new one." exactly! my problem was that I never made mini goals, just kinda saw the big picture as the whole thing. "Sorry to sound like a Nike commercial, but: Just do it!" lol I say this to people all the time. I guess i'm feeling a little more do as i say…

mizuno wave creation 13 is my current neutral shoe. Go to a good running store and they will help you. I went figuring i would end up with brooks but the lady said they are for a more narrow foot, not that my foot is wide, it just isn't narrow like a brooks works best for.

i spend the most on my sports bras because those are def you pay for what you get. I am currently using nike brand sports bras. As for my workout clothes, I am currently using danskin brand tops and shorts that I got at walmart for $5 a piece. I figured this stuff isn't gonna fit for long and is just going to get all gross…

awesome job!!

congrats and happy shopping! I am about half way to my goal and I had to purchase new tops for my vacation so I didn't look to ridiculous and I bought one pair of jeans. I bought my new tops at a variety of stores and either on sale or just their regular price. everything I bought was $10 or less. I didn't want to buy too…
-
wow, congrats on your success. I agree, the scale sucks, but we are so stuck on having a number. I do prefer to go by how my clothes fit but everyone wants to see that scale number drop while our pants size drops also.
-
Woohoo! I keep trying to get myself to my doctor to do blood work. I have only had my cholesterol checked once in my life and that was 10 years ago.
-
Lol my friend told me the same thing. I purposely smiled for the before ones because it always irks me when people don't lol. Even all those commercials for the magic pills, in the before they aren't smiling, the after they are.
-
Wow totally awesome!!!
-
So excited for you and jealous of having a brother who can say nice things! Keep up the good work!
-
That is awesome! My favorite was when I was seeing a post op gastric surgery patient said me that she will be skinny like me one day!
-
Wow everyone thanks for all the kind words! My brothers and I are fairly close, I'm closer with my older brother than my younger brother. We all are very close in age so in very similar points in our lives. We had a rough childhood so we learned to stick together. Yes, it is easier to push someone down than lift them up,…
