i love kens raspberry pecan!!!!! i use it ALL the time!!! usually with lettuce, craisins, almonds (just a few, for protein if i dont use chicken), pear, and chicken if its for dinner... MMMMM!! i dont like cheese but my housemate loves to add feta or goat cheese to that salad too :)

ari - will u post what you're making?? i looove smoothies but want more ideas! thanks!

im doing pretty well with water, but would always welcome the challenge! also - weigh in was GREAT today! down 3 pounds!!! i have been trying extra hard to make it to under 150 by next tues, when i go home for the summer! i am at 151.4!!! so close!! i soooo excited that my hard work at the gym and in the food department…

good luck!! and let us know if you have any questions :)

im 20 :) you in college?

looks like its about to rain here too, so i am pretty bummed. on the brighter side.... i just made a chicken quesadilla that was INCREDIBLE! its probably a well-known recipe, but i thought id post it just in case anyone didn't know how to make one (as i didn't until 30 mins ago!)... Ingredients: 1 high fiber low carb…

kim - is that all that was in the smoothie?? i am intrigued! what were the quantities?

ari - care to share some of those recipes??? im intrigued :)

woooo i maintained! last week was a nightmare with graduation and all... soooo :happy: :happy: :happy: and here was the idea i posted last week: Also, i have only been here a few weeks, so i am not sure if you all have done this, but how about a fruits and veggies challenge? i have been eating a lot more and it just fills…

so... this week/weekend was my boyfriends graduation from college and his parents came up and took us out to a LOT of nice meals. it was SO hard... i was pretty good, with one particularly bad day, but i exercised hard all but one day as well. im hoping tuesday's weigh in will not set me back, but i am only hoping to…

not on a treadmill, but when i run i run on either the indoor or outdoor track (due to previous knee injury, want to start out safe).

hi all... so ive been here for a month or so and just realized there is a "strength training" option for cardio exercises. up until now when i lift i hadn't been logging it as cardio, so it didn't allow me to eat more calories. any insight on whether or not MFP is at all accurate in the strength training calorie burning…

i am in week 5 and i am finding it hard to do day 3, which is running for 2 miles/20 mins. its a big leap... so i am kind of at a standstill at week 5 day 2ish. id love to be able to run a 5k in the near future, but am not sure what i need to jump start my progress again... crunches have been good for me, but they are part…

hi guys! exciting news! the scale was nice today :) even with my family-splurging this weekend i am down to from 156.8 to 154.2!!! i am attributing a lot of this to our water challenge last week :) i am finally feeling a bit better so i am hitting the gym today! this week is going to be really bad food wise because all of…

hello all! i have been sick for the past few days and between that and all of the baby-fun-fest activities that have been going on, i haven't had much time to exercise. i tried not to overindulge on the food, but huge family gatherings tend to make that super hard. it wasnt terrible, but im excited to start a new week…

hey guys its now my turn to be sick :( i have been in bed for about 36 hours, feeling a bit better today, and hoping to feel 100% by tomorrow. luckily, when im sick i don't have much of an appetite, so i dont have too much to worry about. im jsut sad that i havent been able to run.... hoping i havent lost too much stamina.…

hey guys sorry i didn't check in yesterday, was playing with the baby :) i maintained this week, which with my parents here over the weekend and my mini-vaction to nyc i am very happy about! i now have to get through the next 10 days which are senior week and graduation (not for me, but for many of my friends) with TONS of…

my sister had a baby girl today!!!!! everyone is happy and healthy, and the baby is absolutely adorable!! however, i have been running around all day playing auntie since our parents aren't up here yet! hope everyone else had a great weekend! ill be scarce for the next few probably (but am done with exams on wed, so…

hereeeee also, had a bad food day - brunch, baby shower, and bbq. not too too bad, but definitely a challenge. sigh. tomorrow is a new day!

did C25K week 5 day 2 today... i still need to work up to day 3 though, running those 20 minutes/2 miles... eek!

Thank you!!! I do feel great! And it's so nice to be able to come back here and share it with you all, who understand so well :)

good morning everyone! i wanted to share a mini success.... i have been at my boyfriends house in new york for the past couple days and was very worried because i was just with him and his best guy friend who a TON and really badly (and still don't gain weight, grr). however i still managed to stay within my calories on…

that's great! i am doing something similar for week 5 because i dont feel ready for the 20 minute run at the end of the week still... yesterday i did a combo of days 1 and 2: run 1/2 mile walk 1/4 mile run 3/4 mile walk 1/2 mile run 1/2 mile walk 1/4 soooo its a little different, but i think i have to build up to it…

hi guys! hope - get better soon! being sick is no fun :( ari - hi!! don't be blah... :) today is beauuutiful and i went for a run for the first time with the boyfriend.. a little embarrassing, but fun too :) also i did a combo of week 5 days 1 and 2, because it goes a little to fast for me this week... eek! also, i think i…

congrats!!! that is super awesome :)

week 5 day one of the c25k for me... doing well :)

I would love that! My goal is June 1 to be done, but it would be really fun to do it as a challenge... and helpful because we could as questions and get advice from people who are farther along. I vote yes!

really? because the most i have had to run so far without stopping is about 6 minutes... and day 2 will be about 8.... so 20 is still daunting to me, even just time wise and not mileage wise. you were able to do week 5 in the first go?

yeah... i just feel like i will flop though, and then feel discouraged. i think my plan is going to be: 1: week 5 day 1 2: same as day 1, only adding one more 1/2 mile at the end (for a total of running 2 miles) 3: week 5 day 2 4: same as day 2, only adding one more 1/2 mile at the end (for a total of running 2 miles) 5:…

did week 5 day 1 today of the c25k! its going well... but i dont see myself being able to run 2 miles in 20 mins by the end of the week ... has anyone been through this and have suggestions? this week seems like a very quick increase. i also have been having knee/ankle/shin issues... so i am with you there. i am icing a…
