This! Eat a bit more and lift heavy, and watch your body become strong and beautiful.

When I reduce carbs, I lose a lot of water weight. I am always peeing. The only thing that would bloat me is certain types of fiber. For example, Fiber one bars or oatmeal with added fiber. Can't eat them, get stomach cramps Personally, I feel the loss ends up being temporary, and you do need carbs for fuel. I just try to…

Sorry! It's been years, but it got stuck in my mind! I am not even a sweet person, my preference is crunchy savory/salty.

Is it a plateau or have you put on muscle? I weigh the same as I did 1.5 years ago, but my shape is totally different. I still get frustrated by the numbers on the scale, but remind myself that my clothes are fitting better. I am going to get my body fat measured and start tracking that instead.

I broke my wrist March 13th and had plate put in out the 20th. Once soft cast came off and stitches removed April 2nd, I resumed running. I got the no tie laces from Nathan, so no tripping hazards. My doctor didn't want me running outside because of tripping hazards, but I hate the treadmill, so I'm running outside…

Thanks! Bump!

I also dragon boat, and just wore my HRM for a few practices to get an overall idea. I found that most practices average 425, sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower. Since I don't eat back most of my exercise calories, it doesn't matter that much to me if I'm a little off. Mabe I will see you on the river some…

I have been doing Crossfit since October. Totally out of my comfort zone, but enjoy pushing myself. I also have been lifting weights since October. The bottom line is you are pushing yourself and everything is scaled. I can't do toes to bar YET, so I do sit ups. Push yourself, but work at your capabilities so you don't get…

So was I, and then I joined a Dragon Boat team and we started our winter training in October. Regular weight training and Cross fit training. I usually do Cross fit once a week, and weight lifting twice a week and assorted cardio. So anyway, what I have found is I am much more in proportion. I always saw myself as a pear,…

I have a cheap digital sunbeam model. I get the same number the first or second time. Getting 3 different numbers on the same day would drive me crazy!

Thanks! and bump!

I enjoy the race and don't worry about time. I'm slow and steady :)

bump thanks!

Height 5'7" SW 172 CW 152 GW 140 age 43 44 years old Started MFP day after superbowl 2012. Did well, but losing and gaining same 4 pounds all summer. Time to kick it into gear. Love to run and doing a half in November. Also Dragonboating so need to gain strength. Believe in quality , not quantity, so will make sure I'm…

I have been cycling the same 2 pounds since May with all the summer activities in full force. For me, it's the drinks at social activities that are doing me in. Me and one of my MFP friends just challenged ourselves to go 2 weeks without any alchohol. Today is day 5 and I did not gain this weekend and lost .4 pounds, which…

I like the danskin bras from walmart. Cheap and hold up well.

I find sometimes it's helpful to find a buddy to run with, but sometimes you just want to be alone with your thoughts. The main thing is to slowly build up, and then you'll look back and wonder why it was so hard. I do find though, that it can take me 2 or 3 miles to get into the "zone", but once I'm there, I'm good. Good…

LOL I saw it with a bunch of girlfriends and there were a few boyfriends dragged with their girlfriends and surprisingly saw lots of groups of men, who not surprisingly also appeared to be gay. My hubby was waiting for me at the end of the night :)

I had the same issue, but it got better with time. I used kids soccer shin guards and would put a wrist band over them.

Pub and Kitchen Good food , good burgers, a little pricey. Village Whiskey Best burger ever. Ten Stone Nice selection of beers on tap Grace's Good beer, good burgers El Vez Tacos and margaritas Second Good Dog Any place run by Steven Starr or Garces is great for food. Randazzo's for pizza This is why I'm on MFP!, Philly…

70 seconds Off to Aruba Sunday, so don't know how many planks I'll be doing, on the other hand I'm wearing a bikini :)

Good job guys! I think I logged 50 percent of the time. May was just super crazy for me, and June is going to be similar, but the bottom line is a few planks are better then no planks:)

1 minute 40 seconds side plank 60 seconds each side

Thinking I'm going to be here forever also. The National Weight Control Registry tracks people who have lost weight and kept it off, and most continue to exercise, continue to watch what they eat, and continue to weigh themselves at least once a week. Pretty much what MFP allows us to do. After all the hard work, I…

I have been tracking sodium since February and it's super frustrating. Things that shouldn't have salt do, like flavored oatmeal and cottage cheese, and anything containing tomatoes. Sometimes, I think it would be better to be oblivious.

Thanks! I did buy it and the extra warranty. Still have to put it together though, crossing my fingers :)

I also have a bunch of danskins from walmart and love them.
