Get up a little early and go running(or wogging). Start with 1 mile on work days. Then do longer on your days off. Even if you only have 15 minutes extra it's a start, also you don't have to do your excercise all at once, if you can find another 15 minutes during the day, or split it up 10/10/10. Just start something.…

Welcome! You'll love it here, great tools and great people. Sounds like a good time for you to start taking care of you! good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP, you will love it here, great tools and great people. Good Luck on your Journey! :flowerforyou:

Tammie what have you gotten yourself into? :laugh: count me in! :flowerforyou:

Awesome, thank you !! I'm going to download the 5k to 8k ones. :flowerforyou:

Wow awesome!! way to go! Go show off your hot new bod. :flowerforyou:

While I do agree about the affects of alcohol, the mixers are still calories that you should avoid.

You look amazing! Great Job!! :flowerforyou:

rest and stretch and take some ibuprofen.

also, put your dressing on the side and dip each bite in, you use way less dressing.

TOM - Time of Month

realistic weight loss is 1-2lbs/week, so between 5-10lbs. But if you add in alot of excercise you will also lose inches and firm up making you look like you weigh less. Better start now! :flowerforyou:

Still have not heard back from Aminnasto, i'm thinking of joining another group :ohwell:

not sure, mfp tells me my daily goal for sodium is 2500 and i am on a 1200 cal.

Feels good, doesn't it! Congrats and keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

i've finished 3rd in my age group a couple times but then i had a hip injury and now i have a shoulder injury, just expecting to finish the first one of the season on June 27.

my husband does them too, it's nice to do them together but it does get expensive. Over the last 6 years we have probably done around 8-10 sprints and 1 olympic(Chicago). They are addicting.

Sounds good to me! But Clean eaters on the site would object. Is it available at the grocery store?

What does it list as the ingredients? are there any chemicals hiding in there?

Y-M-C-A! They do offer more, most classes are free to members and they have pools usually. We are lucky enough to have a brand new Y with state of the art equipment and pools, and an indoor running track which is awesome. I just with they were open more hours, especially on Sunday mornings(they are only open 1-5pm on…

I buy dark chocolate and then have 1-2 squares after dinner. I am sure others will have some great suggestions too. We shouldn't deprive ourselves totally but try to fit it in to our menu. :flowerforyou:

yes, just add the link to your favorites

Not sure where you swim at but you will find that the other swimmers are probably also training for a triathlon. If you can find one close to you to go watch, it will add to your motivation, they are fun to watch but it will make you want to tri one! :smile:

Red Wine - 120 calories(6 oz) white wine spritzer(3oz wine, 3 oz diet sprite) = 60 calories mgd-64 - 64 calories michelob ultra - 95 calories vanilla vodka/diet 65 calories citris vodka tonic water 65 calories

I know my scale weighs 2-3 lbs light, i could adjust it but I like seeing it that way even though i know it. :happy: Kinda like setting your clock a few minutes faster so you won't be late, my husband hates when i do this. :ohwell:

what about swimming or biking? you may want to do some other excercise before then to prepare yourself, or maybe you already are. Good Luck on your Journey. :flowerforyou:

Indulge but do not over-indulge, or you will just feel miserable the next day. enjoy your birthday. Try to drink lower calorie drinks, ie. vanilla vodka/diet coke, or if you drink beer try mgd-64 or michelob ultra. Happy Birthday! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :happy:

have you asked them if there is a sugarfree option for the med? Also, try adding other small excercise things throughout your day, ie(parking farthes out from the store, running up stairs instead of taking elevators, leg lifts while watching tv, etc...) Wish I could suggest something magical for you, sucks when it is out…

not sure if you are limited on your excercise but if you can step it up. Also, you will have to watch those calories,doesn't seem fair since the med part is out of your control :ohwell: Hang in there, how long will you need to be on this med?

About a month ago I started sitting on an excercise ball instead of a chair at work. Not sure how many calories are burned or if it is helping my abs because I do other things as well but it feels good. someone on here sent me this link before i started using the ball:…
