I love the ARC trainer...Golds doesn't have them- I've only used them on vacation! I want my own, but too expensive!!

And this!

I'm the same height and about 8 lbs heavier and I would be gnawing my arm off if I ate that little.

I would try a new at home DVD workout, or take a group EX class. That usually shakes things up for me!

OMG - LOL!!

I was on vacation last week and tried the Cybex Arc trainer for the first time. I loved it! However, I think the calorie burn was exaggerated even though I was sweating buckets. I read online to take about 40% off the calorie burn it gave. However, this machine rocks. SO much better than an ellipitical, and my gym here at…

I don't run anymore for this very reason. For some reason, I can do an hour workout with weights, HIIT, etc, but the amount of food I needed to fuel my runs was just more calories than I really needed. I ran a 1/2 marathon in the spring, and gained a couple pounds traning for it. No more...And, running made me SO hungry a…

I love jackie warner DVDs!

Bad run- my first and only half marathon I had to make 4 porta potty stops with the runs- badly! Good run- I love running in the cold in the winter and feeling like I could run forever.

I did one in March and trained for about 9 months. I didn't run more than once a week. My time was 2.13. My advice is to keep up the running, but do other exercise as well!

Were your clothes getting tight? Your story is also why I stopped distance running. I did a 1/2 marathon in March, and I gained a couple pounds during the 9 months I trained for it. I didn't give myself a "license" to eat whatever, but the fuel I needed to do my training runs, and the ravenous hunger I got from running…

Didn't pick on my kids' desserts while on vacation! And my pants feel better because of it!

How about buying a pair of pants one size smaller?

Really didn't care for it. My kids liked it though. I hate getting dirty. This was,however, before I started running, so I walked/ran it.

Thishappened to me too, about 2,years ago. I was working out 6-7 days a week and not eating enough. Even though I was at a healthy weight I wasn't ovulating. My gyn ran all these tests. I started taking 1 rest day a week and gained 7 lbs and it came back after 6 months. I'm 37 though-and I'm done having kids. I would see…

Truthfully, you look beautiful in both pics. What I'd like to know is how on earth were you able to work out for 2 hours on just a 60 calorie Gatorade beforehand??

Portland ME! Thx!

Yep, happened it me 2 years ago. I am 5'3 and went from 134 to 125. I lost my period for 6 months. You need to eat more. After I put back on about 7 lbs it came back! I'm older than you (37) and done having kids.

I just discovered Kroger carb master yogurts- 60 cals and they taste like pudding! Yes they have artificial sweetener but oh well!

I really like Think Thin Bars. I think they have 20G protein. I love Quest bars too, but they make me want to keep eating sweets afterwards because they are so sweet!

Get any of the Jackie Warner DVDs. I LOVE her!!

I do a 10 minute solution DVD for HIIT. It is 20 secs on, 10 sec rest. I LOVE IT!

I don't use my scale anymore- it was driving me crazy! I use my clothes now. They are a much better indicator.

As some of the others said- having a small snack before dinner is key. I've tried not snacking before dinner and all it does is make me ravenous for dinner and I eat more.

No, I don't tell myself to indulge just because of TOM. However, if I'm extra hungry that week and eat a little more than I should, I just don't beat myself up and move on.

One day isn't going to make or break you. I absolutely LOVE Haagen Das!!

I totally see where you are coming from. Since I don't weigh myself, (going on 3 months) I don't look at the numbers anymore. However, for me, I still have to be careful on vacation. Example, last week we went to the beach and I didn't move enough, ate way too much ice cream, and couldn't fit into my clothes when I got…

In my FACE and thighs. My upper stomach is always pretty flat, it's the lower area..

I wear cotton briefs due to how sweaty I get. Wearing anything else is asking for problems, as far as my body is concerned!
