Hi! I'm new but old here too. Was on here like 10 years ago, then left after I reached my goal weight...but now I've put back on all the weight I lost years ago..so.. here I am again! Lol I've lost 20lbs so far and want to lose another 35. So far so good - even though I'm stalling a bit in my loss the last couple weeks! I…

Thanks for sharing your experience if the fitbit charge hr vs. The vivo fit 2. Interesting to hear you found the Charge very uncomfortable, which is think would be a common flaw. I run, so I'm just wondering how accurate vivofit2 is with step tracking? (Tho I use run keeper to track my runs anyway :) ). I think I'm…

i have a fitbit zip and was trying to decide between getting a Fitbit Charge HR (but i've read things about it causing irritation/rashes and also pain for some?? also not sure how much i like the idea of green pulsing lights directly on my skin 24/7...) and the Vivofit 2. i like the fact the vivofit 2 is waterproof because…

Eggs! Eggs eggs eggs. (+cheese! :-) )

I just found my new fave local pizza joint here the other day - seriously the BEST pizza i've ever had! stone fired thin crust base, amazing fresh pizza sauce, and great toppings. And it wasn't just because it was 1am and I'd just finished going to a concert, and the pizza place was closing down so the guy gave me and…

JisatsuHoshi - can you come cook for me? PLEASE?!?! how do you make your chocolate & cinnamon flax muffins? they sound divine! and i have some organic ground flax.... This thread is making me hungrier than I already was (i'm stuck in a hotel room right now with no food options but junk food hubby and i took from the…

Congrats! it's a great feeling. I'm the same height too, but I started off WAY higher than you did (210lbs) and am now at the weight i'm comfortable at, and that apparently is my healthy weight for someone of my/our height - 135. So far i've been able to maintain it for about 6 months. I eat healthy 99% of the time but…

Holy CRAP! you look AH MAY ZING. Seriously. that's insane. GREAT JOB

my new fave thing at the moment - overnight oatmeal. this morning's concoction (only cuz i've run out of cocoa powder and cranberries) was banana cinnamon coconut 1/4 cup oats 1/4 cup greek yogurt 1/3 cup milk (i use unsweetened almond) 1/2 banana 1tbsp shredded coconut 1.5 tsp chia seeds pinch of cinnamon - mix together.…

Congrats! that's awesome!! I am running my first 5k race this sunday! :happy: I've run 10k once before, but not for any race, just a lunchtime run with a co-worker, and i've only been running for about 2 or 3 months now :) good luck training for your 1/2! I'd like to work up to that eventually :)

I'm in Vancouver, Canada, but my fave pizza place here (of all the pizza by the slice places - and which hubby brought pizza home from last night!) is Uncle Fatih's Pizza. It's so not greasy at ALL and I never feel bad eating it (except maybe if I get their potato pizza!) http://www.unclefatih.com/ For any of you in…

I'm a newbie runner. Just started a couple months ago (and NEVER ran before that). I've been getting advice from a veteran runner friend. I run 3 times a week at the moment. Usually 2miles, but sometimes 3miles (5k)...and on some runs (with my running buddy 8-10k!). If I run 5k/3miles, it takes me about 35 minutes.…

tripe. tripe, tripe, tripe! THAT is the most disgusting thing ever!!! *shudders*

Just had sushi tonight in fact! :bigsmile: I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada - sushi central! (next to Japan, that is :laugh: ). ha, seriously, though. because there's a huge Asian population here we have TONS of sushi places here (along with lots of other Asian restaurants). I love sushi, but i'm not a huge fan of sashimi…

Hi all! I'm pretty new to running, having just started about 2 months or so ago, since after losing almost 80lbs since last May, with the help of MFP (and Jillian Michaels DVDs and clean eating!) I thought i'd sign up for my first 5k that's happening at the end of this month - it's an annual Memorial run for a fallen…

OMG that sounds AWESOME! where can I buy that dark crispy fruit bark?!??!

Refridgerator Oats! http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal and http://www.theyummylife.com/8_muesli_flavors

I just got a Fitbit Zip about a month or so ago and I LOVE it! i put it on right when i get up and take it off when I get into bed. It's great knowing how active I am and how many calories i'm burning throughout the day (my TDEE), and also I love all the charts and graphs and stuff in your fitbit account on the website.…

i'm 33 now and i noticed my first one a few years ago. maybe 30? or 29? not too sure, i've been pretty much constantly dying my hair since i was 12 so...maybe it was a delayed noticing.

I just did this yesterday for my bowl of fresh strawberries - i made Chocolate Greek Yogurt. 1/2cup plain fat free Greek yogurt. 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. Some splenda or other sweetener (I use Stevia) - mix together and add in fruit. SO YUM. I'm having a bowl right now! :) and it's GOOD for you!

I’ve just started running probably a month or 2 ago and I’m really loving it! I never thought I would ever say that. I run because: I like it, AND it lets me eat more! :)

i thought this post was going to be about how you ate a whole large pizza yourself.... and then you go on to say you had THREE pieces?!?!?! :noway: jeez. calm down, and gain some perspective. take a deep breath. All your work isn't going to unravel just because you had 3 pieces of pizza!! if you said you'd had a entire…

i'm making sweet potato and black bean burgers tonight! (first time) can't wait!!!

THIS. It's stupid ridiculous how expensive their stuff is unnecessary. i'd say Old Navy or Costco. I got lululemon ripoff style workout gear at costco that's AWESOME, and super cheap! plus i love old navy's stuff (just haven't bought any yet!)

YES, this! BUMP. (also, I didn't think the OP came off as rude or bossy, that some others have commented... just telling it like it is!)

I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: almond milk! I've been drinking it now for about a year (i rarely drink just an actual glass of the stuff, but love adding it to my coffee/tea, cereal, smoothies, oatmeal). I haven't tried any of the chocolate flavoured kinds yet, i usually go for the unsweetened ones (Silk plain…

I just got a fitbit zip on the weekend. It's not a HRM, but it syncs to your iphone and myfitnesspal, and calculates steps, distance, calories burned, and speed (based on time and distance I think). You input your gender, height and weight when you sign in to start using it. I'm loving it so far. It's basically a pedometer…

I just got my fitbit zip today! and wore it when I walked my dog and then went for a 20 minute jog...so far so good and it's AWESOME! can't wait to see what the results are going to be tomorrow during the workday and see how many steps i do (and calories I burn! :D) feel free to add me! i'm super new with using it,…

I'm 5'3, 133lbs and wear a 6 (though in Old Navy Diva cropped style jean - the comfiest jeans EVER! I am a 2. I also have the 4 in this style but it's too big *shrug*)

I LOVE breakfast! fave meal of the day! I can't eat as soon as I get up though. I have to wait a little bit. On workdays, I eat breakfast when I first get to work (around 7am). On weekends I eat breakfast usually as soon as I can after taking my thyroid pill (says you have to wait at least half an hour before eating…
