You look great :) What did you do?

Awesome! Congratulations to you and keep up the great work!

I went to the store last night specifically for Hummus :) I picked up the Sabra Roasted Garlic. I tried it on a triscuit cracker. I thought it tasted OK, but REALLY strong garlic flavor. I wanted the roasted red pepper, but they were out. Can you eat it warm? My hubby didn't care for it and thought it would be better if it…

^^ THIS! But It is only on my inner calf on my left leg. Strange. I got fitted for new shoes because I was having awful shin pain in my left leg when running. Now, no shin pain, but killer calf pain! It is to the point where I actually limp after my runs. I am hoping in another few days/weeks it will go away, as it doesn't…

Thanks everyone :) I just looked up some recipes and it appears ridiculously easy to make! I may have to try making some this weekend!

I am planning on getting this DVD this week. What size dumbbells do you all use? I know I have some 2 lb weights at home that will work for now, but I'm thinking i might want something a little heavier eventually. Just curious what others have used.

You've got some great advice here! Good luck to you! I am also training for my first ever 5k in September. Feel free to add me if you like!

Looking good :)

@ melsinct - I know I need to eat the calories that MFP calculates, but half the time I get to the end of the day and realize I still have a few left, and am not hungry. I guess I just have to plan a little better ahead of time. @ renstwin - This week was BAD for eating out :) I normally don't eat out that much! Thanks for…

Bump Any reviews on this out there ?

A lot of times over the past few weeks, I have found that the real struggle was in my head. I got so worried about moving on to the next week and those daunting longer runs. But each and every time, I moved on and found that I am so much stronger than I give myself credit for! :)

Jog as slow as you possibly can, and repeat as needed. When I started C25K (the beginning of January), I could barely jog for 30 seconds. I am now able to jog 15-20 minutes (my speed is only at 4-4.5 mph). I was 30-40 lbs overweight when I started. Don't worry about how long it takes you to complete it - the important…

WOw! That is one scary measuring device :)

Thanks everyone for your input! I guess I'll talk it over with the hubby :)

I like that idea, but sometimes I can't avoid taking my kids with me. My oldest is 7 - and he will be able to ride his bike. I went out for just a walk tonight with a friend, and pushing our big Graco was a PITA!

^^^ THIS!!! 100% If I deprive myself, I am setting myself up for failure!

Thanks everyone!

You look beautiful!

How awesome for you! Keep up the great work! I'm working on a 5K myself. I am almost there :)

I just mixed up a batch of this over last weekend. I used a box of Betty Crocker white Angel Food cake mix and Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge cake. 3 T of cake mix and 2 T of water are 117 calories. I added in Reese's PB chips for another 80 calories, and that, my friends, was a delicious and filling snack! I have my recipe…

Bump as I have the same questions regarding zones and my true max heart rate. I also use the FT7

Way to go!

OMG! You don't even look like the same person! Amazing transformation! You are gorgeous!

Holy hotness! You are beautiful! Way to go!

I saw some family on Friday evening that I haven't seen since New Year's - which was consequently, right before I committed to running and joined MFP. They were amazed at how I look and kept asking me questions on how/what I'm doing. It made me feel so good. Also - I think I'm inspiring my husband to join me!

It bases your calories burned off of your heart rate no matter what activity you are doing. It is water resistant up to 30 meters. I personally only use it when I'm doing cardio. I don't use it when I'm doing strength training, but you could.

Thanks everyone! I just don't want to over-estimate my calories burned, but I agree, it should be the most accurate from my HRM because obviously, it knows how hard I'm working!

Thanks! I guess I've been underestimating my burn every time I workout then - by a huge amount!

Bump!

I just ordered mine from bodytronics.com with the POPO code, and my bill was $58.79. Now, I just have to WAIT!
