I learned a long time ago that I have to stop concentrating on the number on the scale and concentrate on how I feel, how my clothes fit and appreciate the change in my lifestyle. I was recently diagnosed with a heart condition that I brought on myself from years of paying attention to the almighty number that came up on…

Had a friend visit from Australia who introduced me to a band called John Butler Trio. I was instantly in love!

I go a little off the beaten path: Ike Reilly, Street dogs, Fitz and the Tantrums and Pink is always a good one

I got married because I know the journey through life can be hell and he was the one that I wanted to got through it with. I didn't want to have a wedding. I just wanted the 2 of us on a beach committing ourselves to each other. Didn't happen that way but it was still a small event. The details at the time didn't matter to…

Oooohhhhh I might try the Kielbasa one! Looks like fun! I injured my knee but I think that by then, I should be ok. Beside the Dr said I could start training lightly. I do the Lupus one every year with a friend but we usually walk it. I might try to run it this year. :)

From East Stroudsburg now in Tobyhanna. Always looking for local motivators and walking/running/biking (well my run is laughable but I try) partners. I tried to get a Saturday walking group together at the state park or in the gap but no one seemed interested. :(

Great job! Looking to do this race soon! There's a race this fall at a local ski mountain that I'm going to try and do. Another muddy one!

Hi Jess! Great job on the weight loss so far! This site is a great tool to keep track of everything that you eat and exercise. I personally was floored by how much I was actually eating, especially the high calorie foods. Unfortunately, I'm not as disciplined and I hit more plateaus than pounds lost but I'm working on it.…

I figured I would check with one of the specialists that I work with because I have always been told that you need to increase your protein if you are exerciseing for muscle mass. This is actually a myth. A high protein diet consisting of more of your caloric intake you need, causes a buildup of toxic ketones. This can…

I have done weight watchers and had success in the past. But this last time I only lost 3 lbs and was extremely disappointed by that. My life style has dramtically changed since the last time and was discouraged because I felt that I really worked harder than I did the last time. But overall, I think it's a great tool.…

Target has a C9 Champion bra that retails $10-15. I bought one that has the adjustable strap in the back and there is cushion in the cups (trust me no matter how big you are, you want this!) The Shoulder straps are not adjustable so I was actually able to go down a size and stuff the sisters in securely. I wear it for…

I have the same issue. I used to love to run until I became a smoker. My breathing is so terrible that most of the time I quit because I can't breathe and the rest of the time I quit because I ache. I started yoga. It builds muscles and concentrates on your breathing. I started running (yes running) again and now if I slow…

Thanks! I do love the fact that it has the nutritional values also. I like to keep track of how much hidden sugar is in my foods and this so far has been great. No weight lose yet (been about a week on this) but I do see a change in how I feel. How do you add friends to this?
