  • Thanks, all! RunTex is a pretty reputable running store chain here in Austin so I figured they would be able to "diagnose" me pretty easily. However, I think it's worth giving one more different store a look to see what they say. Fasttrack- thanks again for the advice. I'm going to look into going to a podiatrist and…
  • Austin y'all!
  • Hi!! I'm 5'2, SW: 160, CW: 145. GW: 120-125 I'd love to be your friend!
  • Thanks! Mom got the Timex from Academy so I'm just going to take it back and swap it out.
  • Totally agree about the height issue. Can you set your height in the Polar models? I've pretty much decided I'm taking the Timex back. Just needed some moral support. :smile:
  • See, I played around with the mode last night to set up weight but didnt see it. Maybe I'll take a closer look tonight. Have you used yours yet? How does your calorie reading compare to what MFP or other sites say?
  • My mom and I both did Atkins, or a variation of it, about 7 years ago. Both my mother and I lost significant weight, but I gained all of it back plus 30lbs, though she was able to keep the majority of hers off. That said, my biggest problem was coming off of the plan. Besided gaining all of the weight back and then some, I…
  • Mine would be to really keep myself accountable but know that it's not all or nothing. I struggle with that and I know it will be an ongoing struggle for me throughout my life. However, an overall lifestyle change is the big picture. As long as I'm holding myself accountable, even on my "bad days", I think I will win in…
  • I second that. I'll take her legs any day!
  • absolutely. My hubby is overweight by 100+ lbs and needs to get in shape himself, but he just wont change his habits. He doesnt understand how I can eat the veggies I eat. In fact, we typically have to make separate meals because I wont eat the foods he eats and vice versa. It's very hard but we've made it work for 8 years…
  • FYI- their nutrition info is on the website. You can even customize what you would put on yours and see how it changes the nutrition content. I typically try to do that with any type of restaurant or fast food chain before I order it.
  • haha! I just had JJ's for lunch today. You can do the turkey tom or the veggie, just skip the mayo and the cheese.
  • Wow! Great job! I may have to invest in P90X. I'd kill for abs like that!
  • I know exactly how you feel! I played competitive fast pitch softball year-round for 10 years. I am now 26, married and living in the real world where my softball days are limited to slow pitch leagues. It's quite sad to think about identifying yourself with a certain thing and now not having that identity anymore. Now…
  • I just purchased the new Nike Lunar Glides and I love them! So comfortable when working out and I feel like I can use them all over the gym, no matter what exercises I'm doing.
  • Big boobed monster comes to mind. I got the label in middle school and it stuck for many, many years later. It wasnt just because I was well-endowed in the chest area, I was big all over. Ah, also, when I was in fifth grade and we did our annual physical test. Everyone was weighed in front of eachother. Needless to say, my…
