This! They are in our whey protein, and we do weight lifting. They do help, but I am with this gal, what are your goals?

This for sure. You look great, but I think toning rather than losing lbs would do you wonders!!! Weight weights weights!!!! I saw a HUGE change in my physique when i started strength training vs just mainly cardio!

that did not post to what i wanted it too. i was trying to agree with what one of the guys said, first one to comment i think. i've run several of them...you got this!

TOTALLY THIS!!!

me too!! 5 year old and a 4 year old!

i have one tattoo that has meaning, but my 3/4 sleeve is just a design that our good friend did and has no meaning what so ever...just pretty. i LOVE it.

This is perfect!

I am 5'6" and work out 5 days a week, lifting and eating healthy for the most part (a few cheats here and there) and I weigh 119lbs. I am trying to get more muscle weight, but not expecting a lot of weight gain.

great advice!

Totally!!

Half marathon is my favorite distance! I did a full 2 years ago, and it was TOUGH. The half is a great distance. GOOD LUCK!!! :)

I have been running for about 3 years now, and started just like you! it all sounds so familiar. I think that I started increasing my distance about a quarter mile at a time longer than the 5k and if I felt like running longer then I would. I think the thing that helped me the most was running with someone that had done…

haha!!

I'm with everyone else, if you want a more accurate calorie burn, use a HRM. I started using one a year or so ago and was amazed at how off the mfp calories were for me. Also the more muscle you put on, the more calories you will burn.

I had never really done much weight lifting, but when my husband ran a half marathon with me, i promised him i would start lifting with him. I was like you...totally lost. We started a program called Short Cut to Size. It is by Jim Stoppani, who is AWESOME. He works/writes for bodybuilding.com. The program was great b/c it…
