It's not just 8 glasses of water. You add another 8 oz of water for every 25lbs you're overweight. I'm 75 lbs over weight so my daily intake it 11-12 glasses. You really do learn to enjoy it. Try flavored waters or sparkling waters. I have those on occasion for something different. My favorite is "Talking Rain". It doesn't…

I work 2:30pm until 12:30am four days a week. I go to the gym after work (early morning). I log my calories up until midnight but add my workout to the next day. It was too confusing to backtrack to the previous day to log my exercise. ~OWW~

DITTO! We need a "like" button!

Every day! I allow myself one single indulgence a day. I like Hersheys kisses...one or two fills the void. :heart:

I use ONLY AdvoCare products because they are pharmaceutical grade as opposed to commercial grade. I don't to put garbage into my body with over the counter garbage. :huh: What I find especially helpful are the training products. You are what you put in your mouth. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings…

OMG YES!! I've become obsessed....wondering if that's the way it's supposed to be? Are skinny people obsessed with every calorie, every morsel they load in their mouth? Hmmmmmm

Here's what I do: http://www.jeffgalloway.com/ It's an injury free training method. You start out walking then work in a few short jogs. It's easy and works wonderful. I use this method when I run ALL my events. Feel free to email me if you have questions. If I can do it you can!! ~OWW~

I'm 5'3" and heavy breasted too! I'm hoping for 140lbs (at 51 I can't get more realistic than that). I'm a wannabe runner and having a big chest and attempting to run is quite cumbersome...not to mention the gawkers. I have to wear two sports bras to control "the girls" or they have waaay more fun than me.

Too funny! Can't be in denial here! We're ALL here for the same reason! I love the fact that people who have reached their goals remain on here to support those of us who are working on achieving our goals. Says a lot for this place!

What ^ they said. You'll never be able to have a healthy relationship. Cut off all ties. Move on...be happy you did! Speaking from experience from one who knows!

I have the very same problem. I often make up excuses not to see my family because of it. My sister is scheduled for bariatric surgery. My parents and my sister are diabetic. They all sit in front of the television and eat. My mother was a size 6-8 all my life. Very beautiful (She was a runner up beauty queen for her state…

ALWAYS...ALWAYS...ALWAYS before you begin running routinely, BUY A GOOD PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES! Don't go to a department store. Got to a running store or a store that specializes in athletic shoes. Have them evaluate your running style and step. (This is done via video tape) They will take measurements for your feet....both…

I have a body bug. They are pretty accurate but the downside is you have to pay a yearly access fee to the website where you download your info. I found out I burn more calories sleeping than I do sitting at my desk. I also found out I burn 10 calories per body pound whereas an average woman will burn 11 calories per body…

Runkeepr is available in Google market place. My phone and table are Android. Runkeeper has tons of cool functions. I use it at the gym as well. I have tried MANY apps and this was the best suited for me. It will also allow you to use metric as my friends in Europe are the one's who turned me on to it. Hope this helps.…

This is my third time with C25K. I love the program. I was able to do a 5K upon completion and then went on to a half marathon. A program that is even better is Jeff Galloway running program. It's an injury free interval running program. There is also an iPhone app for it. Since I'm not "apple" savvy I have downloaded the…

Camas, WA, USA....on the mighty Columbia River.

I'm 5'3" and began at #220. My goal weight is #140.

I'm thinking Michael Moore would benefit from this documentary! Perhaps a reality check of his own. :laugh:

My real name is native American and means "first born daughter"....for which I am.

My new obsession is Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness fruit smoothie! My simple way to "go green"....and soooo yummy! Also, two of my favorite energy boosts are "Spark" and "Slam" a little more expensive than the over the counter junk but the ingredients are pharmaceutical grade as opposed to commercial grade and comes in…

CONGRATULATIONS! I remember being able to run my first lap. It got addictive and before I knew it I had signed up to run a 5K and a half marathon. I recommend the couch to 5K program. That's how I got started. Now I run using the Jeff Galloway interval running method. Remember to "Keep on moving". ~OWW~
