I feel this is an awesome idea! If I were an experienced runner I would join your challenge. You CAN DO THIS! Go for it! I want to become a better runner this year. One of my goals for 2013 is to complete a half marathon in October 2013. So I am getting more focused now. I would love to follow you on this journey and see…

Have you tried yoga?

2 things that have helped my posture: #1 while in seated position, suck in your belly and hold for 10 sec increments. I try to do at least 5 sets of these at a time, if not more, several times a day. #2 lay on your belly, arms stretched out straight out above your head and legs straight out. Relax all your muscles like…

Thanks for your encouragement! Accountability and focus one day at a time. Your right...we are ALL in this together! Yes, I do have a Trader Joes by my work. I will def. check these items out. I also have a couple of races coming up. This saturday, March 17 St. Patrick's Day, I will be running in the Shamrock 4-Miler, my…

I would go with the grilled chicken salad and ask them to hold the bacon and avocado or sub it for other raw veggies. If your comfortable doing so, you could bring your own dressing and just have them hold the bal. vinegr. When I go out I always ask to change or hold something. It has never been a problem for me. I wish…

Hello, Katie. Welcome to MFP. Great job on your success thus far. Keep up the good work. Loving your self is important no matter what size you are. But your right, you want to feel good too. Stay focused. Make small goals and reward your self at each one. For example, for every 10 lbs I lose I get a reward. It helps me…

Proud of you for taking the steps to change your life. As for the veggies....I was not a big veggie person either. I could eat some but they had to be raw. Now I really enjoy them grilled. Sliced red, yellow and orange bell peppers, onions, asparagus are great on the grill w/ nothing but a little sea salt and cracked black…

How you are eating is exactly how the Nutritionist told me how to eat. She said to make sure each time you eat, that you eat a protein and a carb but the protein should be eaten first. The protein will help you feel satisfied longer if you eat it first.

I like your matra! That is a good one to live by. It sounds like you are focused. I have learned over my life time that you can say you want to loose weight and actually go through the process but if you are not fully focused and have a goal to work towards, you will not be successful. YOU are successful! Proud of you!…

We all have had them. Don't beat yourself up over this b/c you are right, today is a new day. A fresh start! I used to be a fast food junkie. When I started out I was determined to give up all fast food. I did and then I was having a bad day and just needed my comfort food. So I went to McDonald's and had the Big Mac,…

Fruit, fresh veggies, greek yogurt and even the Walmart brand is not that bad in sodium. I also snack on Quaker True Delights Multigrain crisps. Blackberry Pomegranate is my fav. Most things frozen or from a can will be higher in sodium. Try to start going under the 2500 and make your goal 1500. You will feel better for…

I went to a Nutritionist and she recommended 6 small meals a day with 8 8oz. glasses of water per day and to always eat the protein first. So I started this schedule along with cutting out all fast food and all carbonation drinks, including beer. I switched my sweet tea to half sweet and half un-sweet. Now tea is a treat…
