I have done it a couple times. The first time got me going in the right direction and I lost 70 lbs (not in the 24 days, but over the course of a year). They are expensive. I stopped taking the MNS 3 about a year ago and recently started up again. I feel less tired and less "snacky" on them. I also love the catalyst before…

I am 33, 5'10". In the beginning of 2013 I started my "diet." I was at 260 and after a year I was at 173. I have since gained back a little, currently between 195-205 depending on the day/week. But I've signed up for a half marathon June 20. So I'm refocusing my diet and actually training for this run. Week two, so far so…

Just started training for a half. Mine is June 20. I "ran" it many years ago and hated it so much! I also didn't do any training then. This year I'm following a program and hoping to hate it less. ;) Feel free to add me.

I just started training. Half marathon is June 20!

I am 33. 5'10" SW 260 CW 199 GW 160-170 I was at 173 about a year ago, climbed up a bit, but I'm refocusing. Be honest about what you eat.

In MN here. I actually just renewed mine yesterday. It was listed at 200, though I was closer to 250 (260 is highest). Yesterday I listed it at 175, even though I'm in the 190s...I was down to 175 about this time last year, so trying to get back to it. My picture will be the biggest change. Not only am I 60+ lbs lighter,…

I don't tell him, but he tells me every time he hits a new low.

We were suppose to meet for a comedy show at 9. Showed started at 10, a drink before. I got there, he never showed up. I still wanted to go to the show, so I bought myself a ticket and went across the street for a drink before it started. He texted me that he fell asleep. I said I was still going, and he came down to join…

Like many above, I like my FT7. I found it to be super easy to use (I had a Timex Ironman prior). I got the polar bluetooth strap so it works with mapmyride, endomondo, etc. The numbers are always the same, but I like a range and take the average. 60 lbs down! Can't be that far off.

I plan on following the Higdon Novice 1 program starting in March for a June half marathon. My cousin (who runs many) recommended it.

Anyone can add me. 32 y/o 5'11" SW: 260 (late 2012 I think) CW: 198 GW: 160-170 (but strong) I was at 173 about a year ago, but a series of happy things and I put on 30+. Back at it again! I am starting half marathon training in March!

With about 30-40 lbs to lose to get to my goal, (I don't have a specific goal, just an overall wellness goal) I have MFP set at 1200 calories. But I don't stress if I'm over a bit. And if I workout I usually go over a bit more. If I'm hungry (like actually hungry and a glass of water doesn't help) I'll eat something small…

I do it everyday. I log it everyday, my scale automatically syncs to my phone. But I don't stress if it does up a little here or there...I just want to see an overall decrease. Most days when I put on a little it's because I know I didn't drink enough water. I always weigh in the morning before breakfast. I do measure…

I use to do all my hiking in my VFFs, but I was really good at stubbing my toe in them! Now I wear New Balance Minimus (the model number inside the show is WR10BP2). I love them!! I use to buy actual hiking shoes (I'e tried a variety of Merrells, Patagonia, Keen) but they never felt good and I always ended up with blisters…

I'm 5'11". Was about 260 at my heaviest in 2013. Was down to 173 in late 2013, now back up to about 200. Goal weight is between 160-170. Would like to be strong.

Maybe it's a "do as I say, not as I do" situation.

I have a Withings body analyzer. Got it for christmas and love it! It pairs via bluetooth to my phone/MFP and collect lots of data.

I find that many people who say they have tight hip flexors also have very weak hip flexors. Just because a muscle is tight doesn't mean it's strong. In addition to gentle stretching I'd also incorporate some basic supine leg lifts (toe up, toe out, toe in)...that's what I tell the high school athletes I work with.

I really like Express jeans...and they go on sale all the time. I have to get talls so I order online and return to the store the ones that don't fit. I use to like Gap, but fine their fits to be odd now, plus they stretch out too much after a couple of hours.

Almost all arms! Biceps, triceps, rows, overhead press, bench press, fly...all can be done with the dumbells standing or laying on your back. If 5kg is too heavy, use canned food, or a jug of something. Talk to you therapist about dead lifts and good mornings...both can be done without weights. And try yoga. Great balance…

I put regular (not vanilla) almond milk in my cereal and just about everything else. If I'm baking something, I try to just get away with water. I don't like drinking the almond milk straight, but I do love coconut milk plain (not flavored).

I have been using my FT7 for over a year and love it. So easy to use. I recently got a bluetooth HRM strap to use with my iPhone. I've been comparing the calories burned between the watch and MapMyRide using the same strap (both devices connect at the same time. HR has always been the same for both but I find that the…

Take the "U" out of "SUB" and the "F" out of "WAY"

I do hot yoga regularly. I just log it as regular yoga. Even then I feel like it's a high number. Depends on the yoga. Some of the hot yoga classes I've taken have been more about stretching, some have been much more energetic.

Lifeproof case and in my bra. Big boobs, so I usually am wearing two, it goes between them. If you're worried about the cord of headphones catching on machines, they do make bluetooth headphones, so wireless. When I run outside I don't use headphones because people are crazy.

I like to do a series of sun salutations before running. Helps wake up my body and my joints. It also helps me pace my breathing, which is important in running. After my run...and I don't run a whole lot 2-4 miles...I like to do some arm balances and then some nice hip stretches.

I've always been told to go with weight rather than volume when measuring non-liquid foods.

I travel for work occasionally. I always use the hotel gyms, if they have one. But I also pack a jump rope. It's small and effective. Depending on where I am, I also like to get out and run around a new neighborhood. I always use a tracker on my phone though so I don't get lost. As for food, it's a matter of making the…

Increased protein does play a role in legs cramping. I talked to a PT about it a few months ago. I can't remember exactly how/why, but he said people who have a high protein diet, especially those that drink protein shakes regularly, tend to be more susceptible to them. He also suggested keeping a jar of pickle juice in…

If you have a trailer hitch, I'd go that way. I had a hitch one on my SUV and all it did was scratch it up. Plus, I couldn't access my trunk with it on. It also held my bike too close and the pedal scratched my back door. I actually had a hitch installed in order to get a hitch bike rack. Thule and Saris are the two brands…
