First, congrats on your weight loss. Second, if you have been around the MFP boards at all, which I assume you have, you know that supplements or not eating your exercise calories back or not at least hitting 1200 net a day brings all kinds of negativity. I appreciate your story, and I am not trying to be negative. If you…

Flip turns are the way to go! I count strokes..... meaning when I see the "T" at the bottom of the pool I know I take 1 more stroke and then flip. Practice doing them while you are not swimming laps. Maybe after a swim Just practive flip turns for 15 minutes. Go out into the middle of the pool and swim to the wall, flip…

Congrats! I am registered to do my first in Feb 2014. I am doing the Daytona half.... as you can see from my pic, I am a Nascar fan. The race starts and finishes on the track which I think is awesome! I am following a Hal Higdon 12 week training program to train for mine.... I have a triathlon in October and then I will…

I consider myself in maintenance, but plan on losing a couple more pounds before I hit the suggested maintenance calorie "allowance". I have been this way for 2 months now.... slowly adding the calories back so my body can get used to the additional calories.... about 100 more a month. Going up another 100 tomorrow so I am…

It might sound silly, but try doing backwards breathing when you aren't swimming. Another thing that might help is either using a kickboard with your arms completely out stretched and your face in the water and every time you feel like you need a breathe, take one like you would if you were doing the whole stroke. Or, use…

I too am an anxiety eater.... and a boredom eater, and emotional eater and the list goes on. I have found that keeping myself busy reduces my wants to eat. Say I am sitting at home on the weekend and and watching TV and want to shove something in my face. I find a chore that needs to be done and I tell myself "you can have…
