Just rejoined today - hoping to hone my diet in and finally get that BQ.... I'm definitely not a sub 3 - going for <3:30. Would love to know what your daily diet is like!

I play with my 1st Graders all the time at recess - good way to get your heart rate up! :)

t-88 days here! eeks!

Hi all - just got my first heart rate monitor and I am SO excited about starting to use it! I've set it up but can't seem to find (not even in the manual!) how you 'start' keeping track of calories burned during a workout. It is a Timex Ironman if anyone else has it or similar model... help! I want to use it when I run…

What a great episode! Between the cake and the two full tables... I used to like D, but after the first half of the show - I wanted him gone over Kelly! Props to the girls, they kicked some serious rear end!

Thanks for this - I found this article on WH also... although the water one still has me puzzled. Jillian from Biggest Loser talked about it last night - something along the lines of "you might feel hungry, but you're really just dehydrated." http://www.womenshealthmag.com/nutrition/nutrition-myths-0

Hi all... I'm back to where I started and very upset about it :( I was housesitting for the week so I couldn't cook - aka I ate take out every night :( I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch, but it still didn't seem to make a difference. I had lost 3 lbs, and now i'm back to my start weight. I know it's only a few pounds, but on…

I'm on vacation for a week and I went over to the nearest LA Fitness - a week pass was only $40, so if you go 5 times, that's only $8/time - totally worth it for the destressing factor! Most gyms will do this if you're nice about it :)

They also make an Activia light which is 70cal... and a lot easier on the stomach than the heavier regular. The Dannon Light and Fits are GREAT - only 60 cal for a nice portion size. I put All Bran Buds or a chopped up apple into it....

Thanks for the GREAT post! Best of luck with your goals :)

My goal was 1,290 when I wanted to lose 1.5/week. I just changed it and my goal intake is 1,490. I work out and burn 500 calories a day on average - at 5am! (When I burn more than that - i.e. 1200 on a long run - I almost always eat them back because I'm so hungry!) Here's my average day's food: 8am - Activia Light yogurt…

I bought "Buff Brides" and am doing that (3x week for 30" each) in addition to the weight training for the marathon. It's so frustrating!

Wedding - July 11, 2008 My fiance has already lost 10+ lbs on this site - I'm trying to get down 10 by July, but have been stuck at the same number for 3 weeks now. I work out every day - cardio for at least an hour, two hours on the weekends, I'm training for marathon #2, and rarely go above my allotted calories per day.…

Veggie Slices - they're about 40cal each, taste like cheese, but are better for you... and make sandwiches a little bit more filling! Weight Watchers Whole Wheat Bread, 2 slices for 90cal as opposed to 1 slice for 100 that's average! I LOVE the Fiber One Bars... All Bran Buds over some yogurt is a delish afternoon snack.…

We have a Weight Watchers one that measures weight, body fat weight, body fat %, body water % and bone mass - it's great, but not suggested for pregnant women or anyone with pacemakers. It also gives you a booklet on 'average' numbers - it's interesting to use, but frustrating when you use it too often! It was about $90,…

My everday breakfast - keeps me full until lunch. 1 medium apple chopped up into small pieces (70 cal) 1 Activia light yogurt (has anyone tried this? It's wonderful for 'digestive health') (70 cal) 1/2 cup All Bran Buds (only 60 cal) It's a homemade yogurt parfait, at 200cal, and is delish! Try it :)

Help! The first two or three weeks I was on MFP... I didn't use my "extra calories" earned from working out, and I lost 4lbs. Now that I'm 'using them' I've put back on 2-3lbs. (Maybe it was because I worked out for 60 minutes yesterday and still went over by 300 calories and 134g of carbs!) I know everyone says you can…

As a First Grade teacher, it's almost impossible to turn down all of the birthday cupcakes, but I tell them to leave it on my desk, and into the garbage (frosting-side down!) it goes! It's hard, but I used to be suckered into it, and I just felt so awful afterwards because it triggers the needing sugar!

I love All Bran Yogurt Bites Cereal - I usually eat them in yogurt (Activia has a lot of fiber!) All Bran also makes high fiber bars. I just tried FiberOne granola-ish bars (140 cal per bar) and they are great... even have some chocolate on them! Enjoy!

Asics 2120.... they're the highest rated running shoes for women. They cured my shin splints (combined with a few runs on the sand/dirt), but have unfortunately been discontinued. You can still find them online. Very true sizing. They got me through training and finishing my first marathon!

SW CT here... good luck with everything!

Me too! 180 days and counting... best of luck to you!

:flowerforyou: My friend, Shelia, and I just joined myfitnesspal today! We've been SHOCKED at how many calories we actually eat on a daily basis, especially with Starbucks. I'm trying to lose 10lbs for my wedding next November, and having run a marathon it's really the food intake I'd like to work on. Being first grade…
