Olympia WA here I just signed up for the 8K Lakefair for next Sat. We are going to walk it though :)

I'm feeling very raw myself today and this was what I needed to read. I don't think I know how to be kind to myself, kind and tender... and bump because I'm sure this won't be the last day I deal with these thoughts and emotions... although hopefully the last time I smother them in tasteless food...

I just started running (C25K) and I started when I was 263...

an hour to go :)

I'm 40 with a 7, 5, 2 and 1 year old. My 2 and 1 occasionally sleep through the night but it's rarely the same night :) My 2 year old is medically fragile and my 1 year old has extremely sensitive skin. My 2 and 4 year old also have food allergies. I get up at 4:45 and leave house at 5:30 am with 4 year old in tow. I work…

I really wanted to; but the Seattle one is sold out... I'm debating taking the gang down to Portland!

I'm actually surprised everyone's story is so short since for me it was so many things... but I'll hit the highlights. I struggled with my weight most of my life. In 05 my hubby and I lost our extra weight. We were living healthy and figuring this out. I was cycling and hiking, etc... Then in 07, we decided to adopt a 3…

I can't run right now... I mean I'm still very winded when I run and working on it... was wondering if the color run in portland.,.. I should have enough time to get to the point where I could run a 5k .... anyone else going?

I agree with this. I lost weight a while ago by walking/running 10 miles a day or cycling over 100 per week. When I became a mom and I didn't have hours a day to spend on weight loss or didn't want to be away from my child for hours a day, I gained weight very fast!!! What you do to lose the weight, you will have to keep…

I can't find it on my cable.... sounds like something I'd like to watch... hmmm

Ok, so it's just support... the more people that like it voted... there's no competition or anything, right?

Hi, I found out two years ago that my thyroid wasn't working and it took almost the full two years to figure out the dosage... but it seems to be working now. I can tell by keeping track. i add up my deficits daily and match it with the scale... if I think I should have lost 3 - 5 pounds and haven't lost anything, I go get…

when is it? Spokane, right?

I used to have a body bug, so this is similar? Do you wear it on your arm as well? i didn't like that my arm got a 'dent' in it. I did like the information. I started mfp about 2 months ago and am doing well... I get a little concerned that it over estimates my calories in my little workouts and so I've been considering…

I live in Western WA, by RAIN FOREST! I have a hubby and four children. 4:50 AM I get up at with my baby: change her, love, lay her in bed with daddy 5:30 AM out the door with four year old in toe. She is in her jammies with her game 6:00 AM work out at work gym 6:30 AM shower me and daughter and to work by 7 7:00 AM -…

I probably should ditch my scales too! I weigh in and if I lost I'm excited and gung ho for another several days... but if it's been a few days and it's the same or gone up, I get a little sad, and I want to fall into old habits and eat my emotions. I'm really trying to use it as a learning tool and stay calm and know I'm…

thanks for asking... I got cast off already and am just in brace. I still have a hard time typing so only logging food. very thankful for scanning :) I am doing cardio: treadmill and stationary bike and on Sunday I jumped forever (or 30 mins) on a trampoline... Feel free to friend me too!

I love subway. I get the oven roasted chicken breast on wheat and add tons of spinach and other veggies and find it very filling. I also am starting to love their breakfast sandwich... With four small kids in my car, I sometimes wish they had a drive through and I'd be eating there more often :)

Yummy everyone! Mine are: Air popped popcorn with a spray of pam and a white cheddar seasoning dark chocolate almonds, 100 calorie pack cheese sticks

I'd love to join

nothing, it took some doing but I now love unsweetened tea and no calories in my drink :)

awesome! well we are taking our little ones: 4 and 7 and jumping with them to make sure they don't take anyone's legs out from under them :)

yes, but my user name makes it a bit obvious :)

Methusalah, then Jared

I've been randomly checking here too... I'm a little frustrated because on sat trying to get everyone out for a walk, I fell and broke my arm and landed on a metal bracket and have stitches too :) i had my pity party and am back on track... I'd also like emails when ppl post...

our whole crew will be there!! we are very excited!

thanks everyone!

im sorry, here im having a pity party for myself, cant imagine not walking and doing this!! thanks and get well soon!

first name and current age! thanks for asking this... I've been wondering about a few myself
