CLASSIC example as to why people should NOT trust the scale! You can definitely see a difference! I'm curious to know if you took any measurements? Do you know how many inches you lost? Or maybe how many clothing sizes? Congratulations!!

Well... to be perfectly honest? Marilyn Monroe was a size 10. And no one really cared if she could act, all they wanted to know was whether she was in focus.

I can't say as I've ever had PMS cravings. Or cramps. Or bloating. Or well... anything else. Well... except that whole endometriosis thing.

Running. It's much cheaper than therapy.

YES YOU CAN. People who complain about not being able to eat enough PISS ME OFF. I don't care if you're Vegetarian, Vegan, Clean Foods Only, Atkins, whatever the hell diet you're on.... Almonds. Cashews. Natural Peanut Butter. Any other kind of freakin' nut mother nature ever 'effing MADE.... Avacado. Hummus. You're on a…

I haven't lost a pound in 3 months. In fact, I've gone UP from 149 to 152. However... I have noticed that I can see the faint outline of my ribs in the mirror when I turn to the side, that my muffin top is smaller, and my thighs look slimmer. Took my measurements? Down inches. Pretty sure I'm just building muscle. You…

Hmmm... You sound like me before I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. That would happen to me if I ran too close to my period. But now that the Doctors have changed my Birth Control Pill (to the strongest one on the market) I don't have that problem. I say ask a doctor. No advice you get in an internet forum is going to be…

One school of thought? They haven't read the safety manual.

Well... you're leaps & bounds ahead of me! I do a mile in about 11 minutes... I run at about 5.8-6 on the treamill... incline SET to 1. I haven't done any outdoor races yet (I was supposed to last week, but the humidity was too high, so I chickened out... runners got rained on!!) I can run a 10k in about 65 minutes on the…

That didn't really happen in my house, and my Mom was the bread-winner. I don't know anything about divorce, but my parents had FOUR FIGHTS in their entire 29 year marriage, which was a happy one until the day my mother died in 2005. My father is now happily retired, and remarried. As for your "emasculation" comment... I…

I think it has less to do with women working/making money than it has to do with people coming home from work tired and shoving their kids in front of a television and letting the boob-tube be the babysitter. That's what's wrong with society. Parents not spending time with kids and letting them learn their "important" life…

As previously posted... I have a heart condition... and I was told by my Doctor that it would be MUCH "SAFER" for me to run indoors with A/C than outdoors on a treadmill... because of temperature changes, allergens, humidity, and other factors that could affect or impair my running. So... I'm ALSO a "Treadmill Queen" and…
-
Well... I have a heart murmur... so my heart beats 3 times instead of two times. My HRM says that my heartrate (sustained) for my entire hour-long run is 210... which, if you drop that extra 1/3... equates to 140bpm. YES... trainers have checked my heart monitor and FLIPPED OUT previously... but it's just me... it's how…

That God someone mentionned VITAMINS and VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES on this post! And I LOVE that it was the OP! :happy: It's SO vitally important that people realize that when they DO have extremely low calorie intakes that they MUST make adjustments to their diet to account for what the body actually NEEDS for survival. You…

K.... So the same thing has happened to me. I'm a runner... I put about 5-6+ miles into a run (that's about 8-10km) about 3-4 times per week. Just got myself some new runners... bit different in their support than my old ones... & noticed muscle soreness after running that I hadn't had before. So today, I asked a trainer…
-
Yeah... I agree with ^. I run about 5 miles in ONE RUN... about 3-5 runs PER WEEK... so it's different for everyone. I've killed a pair of $200 Saucony runners in about 8 months... DEATH... BLOODY... PAINFUL DEATH. I recently bought a pair of New Balance runners... very nice... light... actually MEANT for people who…

BBC's Merlin (5 series), The Vampire Diaries (4 seasons), Big Bang Theory (6 Seasons), Gilmore Girls (7 Seasons) & of COURSE... Doctor Who!

A 60 Calorie Jello Chocolate Pudding Cup. That usually fixes me!!

My sister had this surgery. She & I are about as close as that one-armed surfer chick & the shark that bit her. (Me being the surfer girl: my sister's quite opinionated and unapologetic). I wish she was in this forum actually.... but that's another matter. My sister DID get applause and admiration from our family. She went…

My sister had this surgery done just before Christmas in one shot. Both breasts removed, implants put in. She's had a series of complications that are apparently genetic (and likely to happen to any other members of her family that have the same surgeries), and requires two more surgeries to fix the issues. Move to Canada.…

Barrie, Ontairo!

A stone is what? Like 14lbs? In a little over 2 months? That's like, 1.5lbs a week, isn't it? Totally do-able!! Good luck!

That doesn't even look like the same person anymore! You look so pretty with your hair down too :)

You realize that here in North America in some cases that means 8 years old? That's like promoting pedophielia.

False. I've never jumped out of an airplane.

Thanks guys! Yeah... I'm going for the stress test. Once I finish my antibiotics for strep throat (yeah.. it's been a rough week) I'm going back to the gym to run some more... I'll worry if I feel something weird while running. So far, so good. But I don't think I'm going to work on speed, or extending my time... or even…

I guess no one has seen my thread! That makes me sad!

I get hives ALL THE FREAKING TIME: It's probably not from the running. Its from the running outdoors. Or your fabric softener... you're actually allergic to it, but your skin doesn't freak out till it's wet in the clothes. Or its the heat, or the pollen in the air on your wet skin. Your skin is one organ. If one part of it…
-
My sister had a bunch of complications with hers, & now has 2 more surgeries to go through because of it. So... it's not as safe as you might think. Stuff goes wrong. I guess it's a question of how important it is to you.

Smoothies. Ice-based, not milk.
