Not everyone is a fish eater. But if you are, baked cod or any kind of fish baked in the oven, served with rice or quinoa and steamed veggies is always a low cal meal. Followed up with fruit for desert like fresh or canned fruit in its own juice.

I love Greek yogurt! I don't have enough time to participate in this challenge, but if I get a chance I will have to look for this one recipe I saw in a magazine. My son didn't care for Greek yogurt until I bought him strawberry "Brown Cow" brand. He is hooked now. :tongue:

I agree with taking the day off or just doing a light slow walk to work out the kinks. Can't go wrong and it may even benefit your 5K. Have a safe and fun 5K!

Personally, I don't care. My ex-husband was lean, sexy and very muscular. He could lift 400lbs at one time. But when it all boiled down to it.....he was ugly on the inside. :yawn:

That is an interesting question and I often wonder myself. I recently came to the conclusion that if I have a large amount of calories available to me, then I would only eat if I am hungry. If I am not hungry or weak, then bonus!!! The funny thing is, when I torched a lot of calories from running on a certain day, I would…

You'll love it! Its so much fun! I don't have as much time to spend on it as I do running, work and family life in general.

Sorry. I type in your quote box. (second paragraph):blushing:

Sorry everyone, I am not going to continue this month due to injury. I am going by minutes rather miles. It was fun in September. Keep up the good workt!:drinker:

Are you vegan? Also some more surprising sources: collard greens, kale, okra, quinoa, figs, almonds, sesame, molasses, beans, orange juice, soy milk and okra. More less desired: seaweed, kelp, powdered egg shells.....okay that may be better taken in a pill form.

I actually did 9.4 miles today! So that brings this group to 12.4 miles.

The above is good advice! Also a little more lean protein might help. Especially if you workout. Like string cheese that is only 50 calories for a snack. I like to spread low cal peanut butter thinly over whole wheat toast. The protein and wheat fills you up.

Yesterday which was the last day of September was 2.5 miles. So that will contribute to 1299.47 miles for our group. By-by September you were such a great mile high month! Anyone did anything yesterday that they will like to add? If you do, our group can be 1300. :smile:

Good luck! You'll do great! I should be doing the same on diet soft drinks but that is my weakness. I am going to think of something else for right now. I have already gave up french fries and broke my habit of ordering combo meals at fast food restaurants the last two months. :flowerforyou:

I did 2.5 today so that brings the group to 1158.47

Might try some web sites such as Runners World. They have various suggestions. One could be to decrease your speed, miles, or hill work to allow your joints to rest. Icing knees. Fill a bath tub with warm water and stretch your calves by touching your toes, maybe? Later in the day or the next day during your rest time,…

I did a slow long run of 9.4 miles today. That brings our group to 1019.86. Looking good group!

Well, I am embarrassed to say that I drink Diet Soda everyday! I have drank diet soda since 1990! My diet soda intake had go worse over the last 4 years as so have I gained the most weight I have ever weighed. But this is the time period I been married to my husband who is a gourmet cook also. Plus I am middle age and my…

2.5 mile today. That makes us 958.59 now

I forgot to mention my 5K last Saturday. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that is 3.2 miles. So that makes the group 944.09!

Don't forget muscle weighs more than fat. I haven't really lost any this month - except on 1lb today. I found a note from last year a few days ago. It said I weighed less last year. But unlike last year my waist is now 1 1/2 inch smaller and my hips are 1 inch smaller. So the scales don't tell the whole story.

Good advice! That makes sense. I feel like I torch calories from running hills. But if I feel like I am trying too hard to cut out calories, I get weak and not have any energy. I almost wonder if I should bother to count the calories of raw veggies and raw fruits. They don't exactly keep you full for several hours.

The equipment or tools they use to measure body fat is not always accurate. So don't worry too much. If the pounds are dropping, the measurements are getting smaller and clothes are getting bagging on you - sounds like your doing good. Keep up the good work! :wink:

I did 3.2 miles today. That brings the group to 541.64. Looks like our group can use a new pair of running shoes with that record.:laugh:

18 miles - wow! I was scheduled to do 6 or 7 but only did 4miles due to "runner's knee." That and I have a 5K this Saturday. So this brings the group to 468.05! Looking good group!

A week flies by and I almost forgot this post! I ran 11 miles this week! This brings it to 444.24 miles for this group.:happy:

Wow 1200 cal/day is a big step for a long distance weight loss. When I set the goals on my fitness pal i just put my first goal of getting to 135. Once I get to that goal weight I will change to my next goal weight of 130. This allowed my to eat more calories and still take a pound off a week. Doing a drastic cut in…

I already responded to this question a few days ago. But here it goes again in a nut shell: I did a full 30 days in January 2009. Pros: I was toned, had more stamina than before. Cons: I felt beaten, sore, lost the fun of it on level 3, had heart palpitations the following month. I quit after 30 days because I didn't loose…

Have you checked the web site? They have quite a bit of nutrition information. If it doesn't have what you want specifically, I would try to look it up as generic.

I agree arewethereyet with "last on first off." My trouble spot is the hips and thighs. I loose from my waist line first, the lower, just diet and variety of exercises over a period of time is the only thing. My husband is just the opposite: small lower, bigger upper. He lost all fat on his buns and legs but has a long way…
