Like everyone else said.. C25K good running shoes from a running store who will take the time, scan your feet, watch you run to see your stride and match you up with the perfect pair for YOU. It's important or you'll end up seeing a podiatrist later. good socks ( my fave are from Walmart, Dr. Scholls health strides for…

At first, those 'kind' of people annoyed me. Then I learned to eat prime rib, potatoes, bread and dessert in front of them, all while still losing weight. The look on their faces is priceless.

Yay! Now ask all of your friends to do it! :)

When I start to lag in motivation, I make a list of WHY I want to lose weight & get fit. Then, I write a list of what I HAVE to do to get there. It always works once you want it bad enough. You can do this!

Thought this was a Jr High thread. lol

bumping because this is awesome!

I do, but I drink it without the caffeine. I use my Keurig and put 2 regular teabags in the cup. I then add frozen blueberries and a bit of honey to my mug and brew the tea into it. I absolutely love it and may start drinking it more often. I don't think I'd lose weight from it, but the health benefits are awesome. :)

I broil mine in the oven if I can't grill it outside. I usually put a tiny bit of salt and some fresh ground pepper on it. If I'm in the mood for something sweeter, I'll baste it with some fresh OJ and maple syrup with a bit of minced garlic in it.

I guess it depends on what is making you grouchy. Is it everyday? Do you feel deprived? Are you eating plenty of food? Do you allow yourself treats once in a while? Do you have other stress that's making you grouchy? Do you hate your workout? Are you working out too hard? There is a solution to everything and it gets…

Going low carb reduces the fluid in your tissues. As soon as they start eating carbs again, that weight comes back. That's why I don't like any kind of fad diet. I can't imagine not having many carbs the rest of my life. I love food..

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but when I started doing heavy duty, sweaty workouts, I broke out too. My skin was clean so I couldn't figure out why, then one day I decided to wash my face really well after I rinsed the conditioner out of my hair. It seemed like the places I broke out were near my hairline and…

My comment was for the OP. :)

While running I average 165 and maintain that for an hour, kind of high for an old lady, but I haven't tipped over yet. Biking around 135.

Congratulations! That is an amazing feeling isnt it? I'm so proud of you! :flowerforyou:

No need to be rude, when you obviously have never experienced not being able to eat enough. When I first started this and was fat, I didn't eat a lot of food, NEVER ate more than 2 pieces of pizza and I ate calorie dense fattening food and did not exercise. Once I started eating healthier, lower calorie foods, the amount I…

I waited until I had dropped several sizes. I was wearing too-tight 16's and once I got to a size 8, I let go of just about everything but the size 8 and 1 pr of size 10 jeans. I happily got rid of ALL of my large shirts and coats too. I'm never go back there so I don't need them. I kept one size 16 jeans just to remind me…

lmao @ the zombie peanuts! love it

I'm not sure why peanuts would be bad for you.. I make my own almond butter with truly raw almonds. Just put them in a food processor and pulse until creamy. It's delicious on bananas or apples.

Buy a bigger water heater.

I love it! It was snowing here all morning too, so I took my chocolate lab, Hazel, for a 3 mile hike in the pine forest, tromping through the glorious snow, loving the peace and quiet, the smell of the trees, fresh air and getting outside for exercise instead of running on a treadmill. I loved every minute of it and so did…

Thanks to you, now I feel like I want bacon...cooked slowly on a hotdog fork, over a campfire. Mmmm

Probably about 3 inches..

In Illinois you have to have a FOID (Firearm Owners Identification Card), just to be in posession of poptarts. Unless they are the frosted cherry ones. They never last long enough to be bitten into the shape of a gun. And oh yeah, here in IL, when my son was in the 5th grade, he took his bb gun scope to school to use it as…

Runners are next.

I keep mine open because people have asked me what I ate to get as far as I have with weight loss. I have had pals who chose to close theirs because they were going on a fad diet, were in a funk, didn't want negative comments, or they thought that they couldn't be an 'honest' logger and improve their diet, if it was open.…

Mine just started doing that too, but it's when I swim, so I know it's not from too-tight shoes.

I love spicy hummus.

Trash it and don't feel guilty!

I love those too. Do you get the green ones that are labeled as roasted edamame? That's what I buy. The dry roasted kind is horrible.

Why? When I first started losing weight, I was used to eating a ton of food and hadn't yet learned how to eat properly, so I was hungry all the time. Eventually, thank God, I learned to eat the right foods and by adding veggies, I was eating more food, bulk-wise than I was when I was fat. Eating boiled eggs without the…
