Ruby: Thank you, yes it is the same. I"ll put it on tomorrow morning before I have my workout. Good luck in August! I was surprised how easy it was - once I got going. It seemed like some 10Ks were more difficult! Take care!

Oh, goals: To work out 4-5 times a week and losing 3-4 lbs (my little beer belly has made an appearance)

Hi all - I'm Kate. I thought I was alone in all this! All my other friends are tall!! Like the topic host, I am having a difficult time with my weight due to work, school, planning a wedding, and my fiancé being deployed. Of course he comes home in 6 weeks - so it is time for me to step it up! I would really love to…

I ran in the Warriors Dash a few weeks ago here in Hawaii. It was a blast. Of course right before our time slot it started to downpour and the host said that we would probably have the worst times. He was right! I don't really know how you would train for this other than running outside and perhaps on a trail. The…

Thanks everyone - I think I will purchase a set. As for my typical workout I did over 150 pushups in diamond, wide, narrow, and the ones in P90X, and various types of sit-ups -- time for a change up for my muscles (or lack of).

You're funny! I run with my border collie, and do a couple different things with the poo. If we are running a route where we run to a destination and back - I will bag the poo and pick it up on my way back. I also try to run a route where I know I will pass at least one dumpster or trash bin, and if worse comes to worse, I…

I use the Pryex containers as well (glass), they can be sort of heavy to carry in - but I just worry with the use of so much plastic. Then I use smaller containers to carry in my dressing and I put a bottle in our work fridge.

Sweetie - Like everyone else said, it might be best to see a doctor and tell him about your past and your current complications. I was feeling extremely sluggish few months back and my doctor had some blood drawn and we found that I was borderline anemia. Now i just watch my Iron intake and make sure to take Vitamin D…

Like everyone else has stated, enjoy your meal today! You've already worked out and should be able to have a good meal -- we don't eat like this all the time. Just remember your food portions, meat should be a smaller size than the palm of your hand and veggies should take up most of the plate. Dessert -- yum! You've done…

I hear ya! LIfe can get so busy -- I sometimes eat these meals and always have a few in the freezer just in case life takes over (normally about twice a week). I like the steamer meals. Lately I have been eating just the veggie mixes that you can steam (very low sodium) and throw some 90 second brown rice under, and low…

I'm a beer girl -- the darker the better! I really can't stand diet sodas so this is a no brainer for me. By using the site, I found out that drinking a pint of guiness is equal to a sam adams. I workout for my beer and will have one guiness (because it fills me), then I switch over to ultra (or ultra amber if they have…

Thanks everyone! I didn't think about my old shoes hurting me! ha, I guess I am used to my vibrams. Now time to tackle this run! Half Marathon in April :)

This is the way it should be and I agree with deleting people who are fasting. Not good for the body and 85 lbs is only acceptable for children!

Thanks everyone -- you've gave me some other flavors and options to try!

Oh, I tried them but couldn't stand them! I thought it was too sweet! Like you, I dispise crystal light -- so I just add a dash of my favorite juice to my water. For example I use about a 1/4 a cup (blueberry pomegrant or morning blend of R. W. Knudsen) for 24 oz of water. then I just take those 24oz bottles into work…

great idea!

Yours are good ladies! Lets see for me I want to drink at least 64 oz of water a day ... sometimes at work I lose track of the time and forget to hydrate.

We should all be able to accept compliments -- we are all beautiful :)

I'll cheer you on if you do the same for me :). I'll be friendly and only mean if you tell me to push ya.
