Thanks for your help. I'm going to have to figure out how to back off now :laugh: I'm very competitive, especially with myself and I'm very driven to accomplish things.. I just need to set my sights a little lower for now. On the nutrition piece, what do you recommend for the post-run stuff? Typically, I try to eat…

Wonderful!! Great job!

Great job!! I've been working my way up to my first 5K myself.. I had a minor set back with a knee injury.. but I'm looking forward to getting back into it!

^^^ This.

Amazing transformation!! Great job!

the wraps and sandwich thins are good options... as well as salads.. cut up fruits/veggies... I personally like pita/hummus or pretzel thins/hummus.. there's lots of low cal munchies. There's a thread on the forums here with like 100 different snacks under 100 calories too.

Just took the test again... INTJ (used to be ISTJ), but I was barely on the N side this time.

Wonderful! Keep up the good work! With dedication, results come!

thanks for the list!

Wow! You look great! Nice job!!

We have the Breville Juice Fountain Plus: http://www.brevilleusa.com/beverages/juicers/juice-fountain-plus-je98xl.html

We bought a Breville Juice Fountain for about 150 bucks. The cost was prohibitive at first for our produce. We have a Costco membership and discovered a more economical way to make it. We make mostly Carrot/Spinach base juice. I can get 10lbs of carrots for 5.50, 2.5lbs of spinach for 3.50 or so. Those two together make…

Yes.. we asked around on juicers also. The juicer does make a difference. The one we have basically pulverizes the fruit/vegetables and the juice goes into a pitcher, all of the pulp/fiber gets separated out into another bin and discarded. The idea of juicing it instead of eating it.. I don't think I can physically eat…

As I said.. I've experienced this myself. I wouldn't post it if it didn't happen. I went a full 30 days without any food, drinking juice. I was regular all the way up to the end.. I'd call that a good clean out. The Blood/Body detox, I was eating all natural not processed. The stomach shrinkage was also mostly on the 30…

We've been using NOW Spirulina powder. It works well.. but be careful on the dosage. Too much and everything tastes kind of fishy as it's derived from seaweed/kelp.

we've taken and cubed up leftover chicken (it was mostly unseasoned), added italian seasoning, and a little garlic to it.. once it was cooked up (use a little water in the pan or light olive oil), put in a pita/wrap of choice, add lettuce, tomato, and light dressing of choice. Quick, easy, and healthy. We've also added…

Barbeque... I've been an amateur smoker for years. I've mostly given up Ribs and the fattier cuts. I trim my briskets of most of the fats.. and I aim for the leaner pork, chicken, and turkey cuts for the most part... ..but there's just something I love about that smoky flavor. And, since I make it, it's not completely…

Welcome! Glad to see another person getting fit! I'm an IT Geek.. nice to meet ya. Feel free to add me if ya like.

Been a gamer a long time.. I started back in the Wolf3D and Doom days.. played internet MUDs.. etc. I, too, was an EQ junky for more years than I want to admit... played a little DaoC, some FFXI, and then on to WoW for several years also.. Currently, I play D3 and a lot of FPS games online. Add me up if ya want. My game…

I sent you a request also.. I'm coming up on 50lbs lost.. working out 5-6 days a week and I've committed to running a 5K this fall.

^^ This. Except.. I love the elliptical because it's easier on my knees. However.. I've had to mix it up and now I alternate strength/cardio from day to day to keep my body always getting something different.

Good job! Keep up the good work!!

Gonna have to try this one. I might have to sub the tomatoes for some sun dried or something to kill a little of the tomato flavor.. but that's a preference.

Egg whites/Egg Beaters is good and low cal. I eat Greek Yogurt with a handful of almonds in it a lot and thats ~225 cals or so. Also, I've switched from dairy milk over to Rice or Almond milk. If you use the unsweetened almond milk.. its 35 cals/cup (Silk brand). The sweetened is like 60 cals/cup. I generally eat Cheerios…

Exactly.. add me too if ya want.

Wow! incredible transformation! Good for you!

IMHO, use what works for you. Everyone has different body chemistry and different dietary needs. For me, I try not to lean on meal replacement shakes or supplements because I should strive to eat healthy enough that I'm getting the vitamins and nutrients that my body needs. If you're busy, go for it. It's quick and easy to…

I found this article on another post here... helped me immensely. http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html

What do you like? I mean.. there's eggs, nuts, greek yogurt, and then like amy suggested.. there's shakes and powder addititves.

Dude.. that's incredible. Congrats!! You're an inspiration!
