Almost there!

Almost there! Yay!

I do not really have knee pain, just some crackly sound going up steps or just bending the knees. Another question I have- has anyone experienced color change on the skin around the knees from running? Mine is kind of below the patella and darker, almost like they have been stained with dirt. I apologize if this isn't the…

getting closer

Since you have been running, have you experienced any knee changes? My knees do not hurt, but right below my patella, the skin changed color-- like I have been on my knees. Could it be bruising? Can running cause any of this?

I know this isn't totally about popping which my knees have done a time or two. I just get some crackling type sound/feeling especially going up stairs. My question about knees is- If you run, has your knees changed color? It seems that since I have been jogging/running (not fast), my knees are a darker brown. Actually the…

Sounds similar to the Daniel Fast. I did that earlier this year and lost a good bit of weight. I had more energy and my nails looked healthier. I still do this but only modified since it is hard when everyone else at home wants other stuff like chicken and ice cream.

Keep going!

over half way there

Did another 5 on the treadmill today. Yay! This is the second time I have been able to do 5 miles in under 60 minutes.

I finally did 5 miles in less than 60 minutes. Yay!

The melaleuca access bars help me get through an hour of running and helps with keeping my blood sugar from dropping along with sipping on sustain sport during the run. It has helped some Olympic athletes win medals and it is helping me.

Congratulations! I did the same contest, but of course I didn't win anything other than going from 195 to 175 pounds.

For me almond milk is better. Cow milk tends to bloat me and makes me congested. I love dairy, especially cheese so I do not keep it in the house anymore and I only eat it on occasions. At one time I would eat a bar of sharp cheddar like a candy bar., but not anymore.

I live in Stanly County just east of Charlotte.

brush your teeth and you will be less likely to eat it and don't forget to drink a large glass of water

Great job! Did your belly & thighs shrink well as you lost the weight or do you have a flabby skin issue that so many of us do after weight loss? And if you did get your stomach to retract successfully, how did you do it? What is your advise? As I am losing, I have noticed and inner thigh sag, that seems gross and so I do…

I am not sure if this tickerfactory worked for me so I will see with this post.

Thanks for the swimming encouragement. I will have to incorporate it into my fitness plan.

I did well, I think. One serving, then quickly off to brush my teeth which got me to thinking, brushing the teeth can keep me from going back for seconds all the time. Right after I brushed I drank me a glass of water. maybe this will help others: If you need to avoid eating something, brush the teeth and drink a large…

100 jumping jax- I can do that. I will get off here and get to it. Thanks

It does seem to happen frequently or at least in my opinion. She wanted to get it the other day and I talked her out of it by suggesting she wait until she has friends coming over to share it with. Her friends didn't show up and she moans about ice cream.

I did jog for an hour today and I could at least do some exercises with my dumbells to compensate for the ice cream. Tomorrow I have an hour & a half of zumba to do. Maybe that will help too. What do you think?

that would be great but she wants "new york super fudge chunk" and only ben and jerry makes it.

Great job! Keep it up.

Pizza is my weakness too. Thankfully the nearest quality pizza place is a 45 minute drive. This keeps me from eating it often. I had one from domino's the other day and even though I ate it, it really wasn't worth it. It did put me over my sodium levels for the day. My only suggestion for myself and anyone who is a…

I was just doing my food diary and one banana had 20 grams of protein and since that sounded wrong I looked for another banana and it had only 1 gram. Sometimes the foods that are listed to choose from can have inaccurate information. So double check. It just seemed silly that one banana can make me go over in the protein…
