Great thread! I wish more people were like y'all! I live in a very small southern town (pop. 3 or 4 hundred) and I don't go to church. People here are finally starting to realize (after living here over 10 years) that I am not of the devil. They are finally starting to warm up to me. I believe in God I just don't like…

Hmmmmm. Cut out all the white sugar snacks high in salt. Snack on protein instead. Have your carb snacks only once a week and not every night . If you are training for a 1/2 marathon you need the carbs. I would not recommend going low carb during training.

You are awesome!!!!

I quite agree with you!

My home made bread with butter. I would eat another slice after dinner when dinner was huge! I would also drink too many glasses of wine at night. The calories added up fast!

There ARE bad foods. So bad you can feel your arteries clogging just looking at the food. French fries is an example of one of them.

You look wonderful! And so much happier! The expression on your face says it all!

Congratulations!!!!I just ran 5 miles this morning! I haven't done it in 2 years though. It felt great!!

I'm sorry but I don't really care for it. It looks cute on top but I just don't like the way it's short in the front. Maybe if it was just a touch longer in front. Just past the knees. And the shoes don't go with it.

Lot's of good responses! Eggs are a wonderful food. The whole egg. I have chickens and get fresh eggs everyday. Love my eggs! I eat 2 or 3 almost everyday.

sounds good!

Well, yes they are vegetables. And usually they are frozen fresh and still have a lot of their nutrients in them. A good alternative and a little cheaper than fresh.

Is nobody going to come and do this one with me?:cry:

Welcome and good luck. Best thing I ever did to lose weight. Besides starting running. Add me if you want a new friend on this site.

Sounds like you have a good guy!

Good answer! :drinker:

I was on a plateau for 3 months! I read about eat more to lose weight,tried it and started losing again right away. :happy: I have about 15 more to lose now. It is coming off very slowly but it is coming off. BTW: I am VERY active. I'm training for a half marathon and also circuit train. I really needed all those extra…

I've done a bunch of 5k's and a half marathon and am training for my second half marathon but haven't done a 10k yet. I am thinking about doing one in Nov. and I should be plenty ready by then. Good luck on yours. Happy running! ps I think you should go ahead and do the 10k. What kind of times did you get in your 5k's?

Hmmmmm, I think I'll do it. It's a rest day from running so why not. :flowerforyou:

Push ups are awesome and dips and pullups. My arms are really starting to look great!

I'm 45 and am training for my second half marathon. I love to run. I have also done a Warrior Dash and am looking for a Tough Mudder to train for in my area. :bigsmile:

I am doing my 2nd half marathon in Jan. I have already started my training.My half has LOTS of hills also. When I go out for my runs I do hill runs almost every time,hoping I'll get used to them eventually. This is the plan I'm using stretched out to 24 weeks instead of 12.…

I really want to do a Tough Mudder. I just don't want to travel a long way to do one. I did a Warrior Dash last April and it was great!! It was in the state I live in. Mississippi. I plan on doing it again next year and try to beat my time....I'll still keep my eyes open for a Tough Mudder close to me.

Welcome! Those last few pounds are tough! I lost the first 8 over one year and the next 21 on this site. Am now trying to lose another 14. Maybe more,maybe less. We'll see. I am training for my second half marathon in Jan. and also circuit train. Feel free to add me.

I've been watching American Ninja warrior. Love that show!

Try Eating at LEAST 20 grams (or more)of protein in every meal. Eat way fewer carbs. I don't think you need to cut back on calories just change what those calories are. You need a lot more veggies and fruit. Have you ever tried protein powder? I use Jillian Michaels vanilla. It blends up very smooth and creamy. I mix in…

Have you ever tried Stevia in your coffee? I use it and cream. Very good!

Give your self your treats in moderation. If you don't you may find your self binging. I like to have spike day once a week. But I spike in healthy foods. Sometimes I do eat stuff like french fries. But Not very often at all. Mostly I work my treats in around my daily calories.

Aren't you just adorable! Awesome work! And just look at those cheekbones!
