Also I use (on and off) the RunKeeper app and it has 10k training plans for the pace you want to do (I think there is a sub 55 min and sub 60 min plan) and it will detail the types of runs you should be doing on different days of the week.

I am doing my first 10k race in about a month and just did my first ever 10k run two days ago. I usually do 3 or 5 mile runs. I never thought I couldn't do 10k, its just the trail I run at is 5mi. exactly so I usually stop there. This time I ran a little further and finished the 10k at a better pace than my normal 5 mile…

Just to be clear.... I didn't see all this "drama" until after my post. I had no intention of egging it on. I just seriously think I might be slightly allergic to fake sugar so I was disappointed when I looked up the nutrition info because a calorie free ranch (and calorie free coffee creamer at that) would be awesome to…

I got really excited then went to their website and all of the dressings I looked at have sucralose (Splenda)... and I'm not sure about anyone else but that crap makes me feel miserable. sigh

Hi! Its so nice to see all these women my age in the same boat with weight loss! I was within my goal range about 1.5 years ago but then summer came around and I always found much more fun things to do in the summer than working out and pretty much gained it all back. I have my small bursts of periods where I work out, but…

Trust me I know, just got my first full-time job and it was way easier to just sleep through it rather than get up and try to get work done. Don't worry, it wasn't a "bad" hangover, I just crave fatty foods anytime I drink more than a couple drinks the night before.

Good options everyone! I may have a fried egg and baked fries as suggested since those ingredients are here in my house.... but nachos AND smoothies do sound good! Actually, milkshakes from UDF are a great hangover cure, but I'm sure they are MUCH worse than a smoothie!

Tough decision. I think I would go with the personal trainer. I can find creative ways to make some good tasting healthy food, but sometimes I feel like I don't know how to take my workout goals to the next level, and that's where a personal trainer would come in.

I just went from college to first desk job (plus my previous job was a waitress running around all the time) and it is definitely hard to find motivation. Mine seriously just came for the first time this week (and hopefully it stays!).... I just bring gym clothes with me to work and go straight to the gym after.... i don't…

I compeletely agree with this too.... I workout all winter/spring and then when summer comes around I let go and by the end of summer I'm back to hating going out in my swimsuit. There's just so much to do in the summer its hard to keep on track. I think what works best for me is small goals (as stated in my post above)…

Wow. Yes. I never think about holiday/NYE outfits until the last minute and never have the "hot bod" to fit into something form-fitting! This is definitely something I will use as motivation - AWESOME Sequin NYE dress here I come!

Never tried Turbo Jam but I LOVE Turbo Fire! I'm sure its pretty similar just more intense, so if you enjoy Turbo Jam and get bored, I'd suggest Turbo Fire!

Yes I have found many articles but unfortunately none of them provide the actual data they used to verify their results. So I am looking for actual data to analyze and hopefully come up with the same results as all of these articles.

I have found many articles discussing studies about this but I need the raw data to run the statistical analysis myself. For other parts of my project there have been raw datasets I've been able to use without having to retrieve the actual data by myself but I can't find the actual "excel sheet" of every single participant…

Can you tell me your weigh-in weight from Thurs March 27 and from yesterday April 5th? thanks!

Thanks. I know this from all the research I have done but as for a quick data analysis and lack of time it is all I have to go with for now.... I am trying to think of a way to do a survey for a month or more but seeing as how the semester is coming to an end I am struggling with ways to find data. There is data online for…

can you tell me your starting weight (as of Thursdayy March 27) through yesterday (Wednesday April 6)?

can you tell me your starting weight (as of Thursdayy March 27) through yesterday (Wednesday April 6)?

Thank you both!

Thanks! I can definitely use your information as long as others respond as well!

I love that machine! I feel like it makes me work harder than the other ellipticals. I usually program it to "pike peak" or "hills" program and alter the level. Great machine!

Very interesting! Good to know. May try the TDEE method but if I do I will definitely calculate it this way!

Every time I tell people I am working out and logging what I eat etc, I always get "you don't need to lose weight" but these people don't see me in a swimsuit! What motivates me is to not be self conscious in a bikini! My stomach is my least favorite feature. When I go to the pool I don't want to get off the lawn chair…

What type of place do you work? I work at a restaurant so slow hours for me are also a horrible "bored so I'm going to eat" type of deal. But if you work in an office setting or somewhere where you actually get a break go for a walk, or at least try and walk to where you will be eating lunch if that's possible! The one…

Fried food! and I work at a restaurant with delicious wings, cheese sticks, potato skins, etc. and even the poor tortilla chips are fried so i have to stay focused and bring healthy munchies from home to snack on instead!

Hi! I have a few mini goals leading up to June 1st (Well, actually by my birthday, May 30th, which is pretty close to June 1st), but my ultimate goal is to be at my goal weight (anything slightly under 120... so i can use 120 as my "hazard" number to make sure I'm staying on track or so I can be at worst 120 on a bad…

I find myself trying to do more cardio on the weekend just to get a higher calorie burn to off-set my drinking! I try to eat filling but healthy meals during the day to try and help with any "drunk eating" and i stick to light beer (it takes me a while to drink them) or flavored vodka with soda water and a lemon/lime....…

OLD - Fri 1/10 - Ran 1.0, Walked 0.5 = 1.5 total Mon 1/13 - Ran 2.0, Walked 1.0 (0.5 on incline) = 3 total NEW - Wed 1/15 - Ran 1.5, Walked 1.0 (0.5 on incline) = 2.5 totalGrand Total = 7 0 miles

I am way late in joining this group so since we are about 1/3 way through the month I am setting my goal to 35 miles of combined walking/running. Here are my clocked runs so far: Fri 1/10 - Ran 1.0, Walked 0.5 = 1.5 total Mon 1/13 - Ran 2.0, Walked 1.0 (0.5 on incline) = 3 totalGrand Total = 4.5 (30.5 to go)

I'm 5'4 and 24 years old.... Ever since High School I've struggled to be at or around my goal. My highest has been 140-145 when I was 19 but recently I've been stuck around 132-136. I'm currently at 130 and would LOVE to be under 120, so my goal would be about 118. I got down to 124 in the spring but summer and busy plans…
