May start Weight: 123 May Goal Weight: 115 Ultimate Goal Weight: between 110 and 115 May 1 : 123 May 8: 122 May 15: May 22: May 29: May 31: A little up and down throughout the week on the scale but ended up with a one pound loss so I can't complain. Did a lot of walking - this week I am focused on adding some interval…

Thank you for this accountability challenge. I spent April -- "doing my thing" so I could see what my habits are and what needs improvement. Over the years, my weight has fluctuated up and down 15 to 25 pounds. The only real success I have had is consistent exercise and diet. With that said, I eliminated alcohol from my…

Welcome to our new members... thank you... as I am sure you can tell by my original post ... I am not into rules or specifics... just come here with a positive attitude and share your success and your "bad days" but keep coming back because I don't want one bad day to turn into two for you or me. Friend me... if you…

My challenge within a challenge for the week is 10,000 steps before 10am. I find that if I don't get moving first thing in the morning it just doesn't happen!

Same. Just subscribed to the FITIV Pro ($10/year) and love all the data and visuals... of course, I am kind of a nerd so it appeals to me.

Definitely the Apple Watch and FiTiv. I saw a news segment where they tested the popular trackers at a University where people were also hooked up to the machines used for athletes and measuring calorie burn. Apple was the most accurate - less than 10% variation where the other trackers were closer to 30% off. I have been…

Welcome all... feel free to post the good days to inspire us and make a note on the not so good days so we can inspire each other... one day is just that.... one day.... trouble starts when 2 days turn into 3 and 3 turns into 4... and so on and so on..... For example, I didn't get to the gym yesterday as planned so today,…

Hi, My name is Sara and I currently live in Knoxville, TN. My weight has really fluctuated since I turned 40 and I just don't want to celebrate my 45th birthday uncomfortable in my own skin! My goal weight is around 130. I have 30 pounds to lose to reach my goal. My biggest motivation is that I am a recent career changer…

Interviewed with a couple of companies last week... found a part-time job that will be supplemental income to unemployment without an impact on my unemployment payments. I really feel very fortunate... I know there are a lot of people out there going through this with more obligations than I have.... not to mention I have…
-
Thank you to both of you. I have been in legal services for most of my professional career. My passion is cooking - and I do have a very small business as a personal chef on the side that I did more as a hobby than anything else... but maybe with some networking - this back to school time may be a good opportunity to…

Cool -- I am definately doing Myrtle again next year! My current schedule looks like this: June 23, 2012: Amica 17.7 series Half Marathon in Lenior City (close to Knoxville) TN July TBD Aug 18, Area 13.1 Half (night run) in Roswell GA Sept 22 Lady Speedstick Women's Half in Nashville, TN Oct 21 The 7 Bridges Half in…

How did everyone do? I am still not a Kenyan but I did manage to shave 5 minutes off my last half that I ran last month. On the bright side, I am five minutes closer to reaching my ultimate goal! I thought the event was well done and my boyfriend and I extended our stay until Wednesday. We stayed at Ocean Creek and will…

For some people sugar actually does have an impact... sugar = carbs and that effects insulin levels. Chances are they are carbohydrate sensitive so if they notice a plateau it is important for them to track and analyze. With respect to sodium, I can say that for me and my body it does have an impact.... if I eat out or…

It is really simple you exercise to burn excess calories... why you would eat those calories you burned to lose weight is beyond me... but every BODy is different... and I think its being over generalized... people at different fitness levels are looking toward people that have more lean body mass established (after being…

I am a nerd number tracker and I have recently found a site that works like mfp (still free) but it takes this topic off the discussion boards all together and it shows it to you based on your daily calorie intake vs expenditure with consideration of your current weight and bmr levels. It simple they spell the equation out…

I do a lot of interval training on the treadmill. I like doing 400 meter "sprints" with a 2 - 3 minute recovery always trying to increase my speed. Sometimes I do a 400 meter run 2-3 minute walk then 800 meter run 2-3 minute walk then 1200 meter run 2-3 minute walk and finally 1600 meters. It helps the time go by a little…

Both. And they are both opening a store here this summer (Knoxville, TN) - for which, I am very thankful. I love the prices and the variety of products at Trader Joes and you really can't beat their cheese section - a lot of high end cheeses for a fraction of the cost at any other grocery store. Whole Foods, Earth Fare and…

Welcome - from Knoxville. I sent you a request as well.

Bumping in case others are interested

Do you plan on doing a lot of running? If so, I would go to your local running store to be properly fitted. Fleet Feet is my personal favorite. Take in your current pair of running shoes so they can see the wear etc. Its difficult to get a really good pair of running shoes for under $75-85 dollars unless they are on sale.…

Goals for May: 1. Lose 4-6 lbs 2. Improve my half marathon time at the Diva Half on 5/20 in Myrtle Beach 3. Continue working toward my full marathon goal. 4. Cut back on my alcohol consumption -- which will probably make goal number 1 more attainable. :grumble:

an itsy bitsty teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini... actually it won't be small but I want a yellow polka dot bikini.

Congrats on reaching your goal.

In addition to the previous advice: Lay your stuff out the night before - have your bib pinned to your shirt etc. Keep the food simple the night before - without too much fiber. If you drink coffee - have a cup or two in the morning but early enough to go to the bathroom if needed. During the run - start slower than you…

I prepare most of my food for the week on the weekend. I always have some grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, and flank steak on hand to put on top of a salid mix. I usually put on some feta cheese with some grapes or half an apple or pear. Another staple is making a bean salad with canned black beans, white beans, and pinto…
