I count anything more than 30 mins walking. Yes, running burns more.

Ya, I would of done the same thing! I was running last week and a HUGE bear popped out. I live in the country and run the back roads. I am used to seeing deer, I think there is a doe with her fawn right near the bear encounter so when I saw the weeds moving, I didn't think anything of it BUT a bear walked out. I stopped…

Agree with this!

Congrats... on the road to seeing the 130's again!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am average. 136.4 this morning! Your post caught my eye because my goal was 137 when I start MFP. :tongue:

I agree with everyone above. Start by following the times and not worrying about distance. Maybe do one more day at your current day then move on :) I did C2k and am not training for half marathon. I did my first 5k in 31 mins but every time I have increased speed (have my 4th this weekend). I am expecting to be in the 28…

I am 5'3. Today my calories r set for 1500 and I eat back most of my exercise calories. I am losing about 1/2 pounds a week. I am 137 now and want to get down to 135 or 130... We shall see since I am happy where I am. I am also training for half marathon so weight isnt as important. I started here in Feb, I set MFP to lose…

My BMR is around 1700. My goal is 1500 and I eat back exercise. I am close to maintenance but when I was losing, I was set to 1300 and ate those cals back!

I was 26. My husband and I were HS sweethearts and still married so we got asked ALOT! My reply was "I'm don't think I want kids" I practiced this will a stern don't ask anymore look :laugh:

You look AMAZING!!!!!

Congrats!

2 things are my favorites when I visit Maine... portland and lobster rolls. OMG! Lobster rolls are sooooo good!

That's awesome! Congrats!

I have read that a HRM is only accurate for cardio type exercise because of the calculations. For a better estimate you would need a body bug or body fit media. I only have a HRM and only wear it for jogging.

I am a huge nerd. I have more books than shoes and I have ALOT of shoes :) I would say Atlas Shrugged because it opened my eyes to a different way of thinking. I would list the reasons but until you read the book, most don't understand and I would come off as a very selfish idpndividual which I am not :flowerforyou:

Did u get fitted after your long run? I would try that. The running store always tells me I need a 7 but I always go with 7.5 because my toes go numb in 7's. You may also. E tying your shoes too tight near the toes. Search runners world for some different ways to tie. Good luck!

great quote!

I have seen a few ladies on here pregnant. If I were you, I would figure out your TDEE (fat2fitradio.com) then add 500 calories to that. I remember reading something when I was pregnant that the body needs 500 more for baby.

Sweeeeet! Have fun!

Wow! You look amazing!

^^^^^ PRINT THAT PICTURE!!!!! Sorry, I was yelling that. You are so pretty hon. I am not just saying that, you really are. I am a 33 yr, corporate working mom. I have to tell myself "fake it til you make it" sometimes. I am really an introvert by nature so somedays when I have to get all dolled in my business suit/ make…

I had the Paraguard IUD for a few years. I got it taken out about a year ago when I got my tubes tied. Overall I liked it. The cramps and flow were MUCH heavier than when I was on BCP. I would do it again though because I didn't like the pill at all.

You were me last year! Heck even this year. This is what helped me... 1. Good running shoes that I was fitted for 2. Not running every day. Only every other. 3. Upping my calories so I could give my all when I did run Good luck. I am training for a half marathon this fall :)

eat! The reason that I was 20 lbs heavier was that I ate only 1200 calories and burned 300 with exercise a day during the week then I would be a couch potatoe that everything on the weekend. I am only 5'3! I am almost to goal and eat around 1700 cals, never plateaued. Good luck!

Awesome results!

:smooched:

yep, that happens to me as well.

Have fun! Start out slow and try not to get confused at the start when everyone is crowded together. Find a pace u feel comfortable with after the crowd breaks up then just run! I am sure this won't be your last. My husband is running with me in a few weeks and I am so excited for him to have his first. I will always…
