Hi everybody. I'm Cara. A little less than a year ago, the doctor found a mass on my thyroid. He took half my thyroid in October (no cancer, thankfully), but since then staying active and on a good diet plan has been very difficult. I'm tired a lot and the urge to eat everything in sight is even worse than it used to be…

I want to do 27 laps in 5 minutes. I want to jam in a bout (I jam at practice all the time, but in a bout? Never). I want to improve my footwork and my stability when a jammer is pushing on me. My team is going through a major rebuilding year. We've lost three veteran skaters who were a big part of our team, and I want…

Food dyes are my favorite food.

If you don't like pumpkin, applesauce is also a good baking substitute :)

My favorite time to go to a yoga class is immediately after work. I'm less likely to blow it off if I leave right from the office AND it's the perfect end to long days for me.

I still struggle with it after 2 years, haha. Maybe there is some sort of mental block there, but the muscles are probably a huge part as well. I definitely recommend doing squats and lunges off-skates to strengthen your thighs. A trick I was taught was that while you're getting up, put your hands in the air so you can't…

You should be on the inside line in the middle of the turns and on the outside line in the middle of the straight-aways. If you drew your path on the track, it'd look like a diamond. Maybe someone else can explain it better. I always find that I do better in my 25 in 5 if I focus more on consistency than speed. I don't try…

Welcome to the best sport in the world! I read a great article today about keeping yourself motivated to be a better skater. Whether you've been playing a week, two years (like me) or 10 years, I think everyone can always be pushing themselves harder <3<3 http://www.rollerderbyathletics.com/stop-sucking-start-winning/

I consider buying that app all the time! Now that I know it's as fun as it sounds, I might actually drop the $8 on it!

I use So Delicious coconut milk creamers. French Vanilla is my favorite!

I have an elaborate tattoo planned on my ribcage, and a custom pair of Antik skates for the derby girl in me. Also, there's a gorgeous girl who always stands in front of me during hot yoga and she always does the class in a sports bra. I would love to be brave enough to do that.

There were leftover Reese's Bells in my house last night when this problem arose. Now they are in my tummy. I'm the kind of person who always gives in to the TOM craving. I've finally learned to stop feeling guilty about it, work out harder to make up for it, and accept that one day with a bellyful of Bells (or cookies, or…

I lost weight with WW as well, and liked it well enough. But just tracking calories makes more sense to me. Plus, I think the community and support is much better on mfp.

Hey everybody! I'm Breaking Back Sunday from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Roller Radicals in northeastern Pennsylvania. I've been playing derby for just under two years; I started with Three Rivers in Cecil County, Maryland before moving to Scranton and finding my home with the Radicals. I was having dinner with a few friends…

I'd like to be added, please!
