I signed up for the coaching not necessarily for the supplements. Thanks for those positive comments and contribution to this thread. I used mfp app and never came online, now I know why.

I can't eat before I workout/run because I feel it gives me cramps. I definitely have some protein afterwards, whether its a bar or a shake.. my trainers in the past said its to feed the muscles or fuel the metabolism after the workout. Can't really remember, just know that's what I was taught :)

hmm all this food sounds delish, I had some leftover beef stew (about 1.5 servings), with some yummy hot sauce...

Well, I friended you all... hope you don't mind.

lol... well, you know that's what I am looking for... I need chatterboxes in my life.. :)

Well thank you for posting, because this is the first time anyone has posted.

Hi, I found that starting with a short cardio prog first thing in the morning, boosts your metabolism helps. I started on a 10 min to a 15 min, and eventually 30 min on a elliptical program upon waking. From there you could move to doing what you can handle. I know do 5 - 6Km run 4 - 5 mornings a week. I find it helps with…

I stopped drinking diet pops a long time ago, prefer to drink mineral water (adding real fruit or lemon to it)... after reading all the stuff about how diet pops contribute to nerve damage, I decided best not to take that chance. I still can have a diet pepsi or ginger ale when I crave those fizzy drinks - usually maybe…

I was on this a similar pill years ago, and I have to say it worked on me losing about 50lbs,but I was a complete mental case. Perhaps this is a different kind, when I was on it, it was called Ionamin. I lost about 50 lbs on it, but unfortunately, I went overboard and would go for days without eating. I was down to about…

Since I am trying to limit my sugar intake, I tend to add spinach, kale, ginger, parsley, flax seed, almond milk (no sugar added) and add a protein power (24% protein), you could add a low fat greek yogurt to it. If you have to add fruit, stick to berries (antioxidants).

Before you head out to the running store for shoes, you need to start off training at a slow pace - doing proper stretching following your runs... start off slow and get in cross training in-between your runs. I use Asics Cumulus and have changed them 2 - 3 x a year. I started off doing a 5 k race and after one month, went…

I don't think that much... one is a bit slower pace, the other a faster constant pace... both offer benefits to the heart and overall fitness.

I was craving sweets, and settled with sharing a bavarian creme filled donut from the local grocer... oh well, normally I would eat the whole thing or two :))

Hi, a bit late in joining, but here I go..

those fish taco's look delish! :happy:

I usually take a salad with chicken to work, and am too lazy to throw in the fridge, and 'knock on wood', never been sick from it sitting there for a couple of hours. But to be safe, probably get one of those insulated lunch bags.

That's fantastic! As the others have said, no one will judge you...you will find a lot of support in your first run. You will find that many run at different paces, and do stop to walk during the run. I tend to stop for a min of 30s - 40s before I start running again. I started running going slow and completing a 5K at 40…
