after today's 5K run/walk I will start focusing more on weights...

I'm no guru, but I say switch out your routine. I started with walking, then got a bike, then got some dumbbells and a resistance band. Whatever you do you should keep it from getting boring. Even walking a route in the reverse direction is better than doing nothing.

Hello! Welcome! Joining is the first milestone. What are your goals? That may help you find the most supportive people who you can relate to and get good advice from. I've been here going on 3 weeks and have lost 15 lbs. I am trying to lose 80-90 lbs so I will be here for a while! I am checking in every day. Feel free to…

So let's say I'm a girl who needs to lose a lot of weight and I don't have easy access to a gym.... could someone please give guidance for those who may have, say, a set of 8 lb dumbbells and a resistance band? I am focusing on cardio to start but I do try to get 20 minutes 4 times a week to work on my arms and back. But I…

wondering why "superskinny" is now your goal.

I log everything. How else do I know what the "score" is?

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead :)

Why does it matter?

I've decided alcohol is not conducive to my health goals. I do miss a good caribbean rum punch :)

Turned 40 in September. No kids, and a relationship that I think the social networking site "it's complicated" status was designed for :) I do have two cats, but to be fair, I've had them since I was 28... Feel free to friend me, I tried to friend a few people and can't get it to work.

If you define "hit on" as someone approaching you to chat you up and directly ask for your number, that seems to be something a lot of people don't do as they get past mid-twenties. Do people smile at you when you make eye contact? If so, they notice something. Smile at others and see what their reaction is. It's a much…

Depends on which lady bits. I recently went from 227 to 215. I wear a 42DD bra and 9/10 or 11/12 panties depending on the brand/style. I was able to find 2X tankini tops (like a bikini with a skirt down to your waist) and 1X general granny-panty bottoms at Walmart. Not the *best* styles mind you (they tend to always be…

Jorra - that was the explanation I was looking for. Thanks!

I follow PEMDAS -- There is no P,E, or D. There are only M, A, and S. Please forgive the formatting... 9-5+5x0+3M 5x0 = 0 9-5+0+3A(1) 5+0 = 5 9-5+3A(2) 5+3 = 8 9-8S 9-8 = 1 1 The people who are getting 7 seem to be implying parentheses around the pairs in order from left to right -- I don't remember that rule from math. I…

20 lbs is GREAT! Congratulations!

Hi Jennifer! Welcome, and I wish you the best.

I live in north Jacksonville FL, about a 25 minute drive to the GA border. I drove up after work today to get a ticket just for the heck of it -- why not? Man oh man were the gas stations crowded at the first few exits across the Georgia line!!! I went to exit 5 thinking it would be less crowded but No. Places had gridlock…

Hi! Good for you! I'm new new and very overweight/out of shape and one of my short term goals was to be able to walk our local corporate 5K (two weeks away) in under an hour. Last year I finished it in 1:15 but it wrecked me and I really hadn't exercised at all until last week when I started coming on here. Last Tuesday I…

mine include cruises and nissan cars (both of which i was browsing yesterday) and also Timbuk2 bags (which I recently ordered two of).

Hi Krissy - are you my doppelganger? Aside from the endometriosis and me being a couple of years older it's scary how similar our stories are! All I can say is... little changes are at least a change, and I believe that bigger changes will follow. I came to this site earlier this week on the recommendation of a coworker…

I'm 5'3 and 40 years old. I work in IT which means a lot of hours at work and at home sitting at a computer. I started MyFitnessPal earlier this week at 227 pounds, which means I need to lose about 90 pounds according to the actuaries, but I would be very happy losing 60. My weight includes very large breasts for my…

Hi Jersey! I just started too. I have no pearls of wisdom yet but I hope that you find it in yourself to keep at it. I'm glad I made the decision that my health and well-being are worth spending time and effort on, instead of just sitting around feeling awful and always being tired and waiting for something to change. I…

Hi all. I started this week weighing in at 227 and need to lose about 90 pounds, so losing 10 pounds in the first month will probably be easy for me given that I can probably lose that in water weight and become complacent. But I have started exercising which I haven't done in a looooong time and that also makes a…
