thanks, it usually takes me 35 min but after the swim and bike ride I was just worn out. I ran today and was working on speeding up a little. I think I might join some running clinics to improved my skills.

yippie good to hear that other have done it too. Congrats to you for next year. All the training was so much fun and rewarding. The run I a challenge for me. I just have such a hard time with it. The swim is much easier for me but yes, I had 91 women start at the same time as me in the water but I did not get hit or kicked…

Thanks so much ladies.

the Iron Girl takes place in several states every year. Its pretty big event. By the way don't be nervous. When the race starts all the nervousness goes out the window. Just have fun, thats what its all about. FUN

Ok this is really confusing to me. I feel stupid but I think I need this broken down a little better.

what is HITT

Thanks for all the advise. I am so scared to add but I will. what I am doing obviously isn't working. I will also start my strength training and actually look forward to it.

i actually like weight training. I have just been so bad with my cardio that I really wanted to focus on building my endurance. I am training for a triathlon for July22nd. I think I will add some strength training. Its what I like and am pretty good at any way.

my stomach is flatter but nothing else has really changed.

so cardio 5 days a week and strength training 2 days a week? 2 full body work outs. I have been doing some ab work and butt and hip work just on the floor with no weights.

i always try to atleast eat my 1200 cal a day. I don't always eat back my cal that I burn off from exercise. I have not started strength training because I wanted to just burn the fat first.

I was doing weight watchers for a while and like this so much better. This is so much easier and healthier. I had no idea how much sugar I was actually taken in while on weight watchers because fruit is 0 points I would eat it all the time. I now know I was taken in way to much. I think you learn more about your eating…

i am not a good runner at all but have worked myself up to doing 3.2 miles in about 30 minutes. I usually stop 1x for less than 1 minute. I have learned that I have to just run at a slower pace in order to run longer.

Good for you for giving back to yourself. I try and make sure I eat 6x a day. This is to keep my metabolism going as fast as it can. if you go more than 3 hours without eating then you start to slow the metabolism. I just make sure I always have snacks with me. I plan my meals. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner,…

I am from Denver Colorado too. We are supposed to be the thinnest state in the US.

5'5 AND WOULD LIKE TO BE BETWEEN 150 AND 140 AND LOWER BODY FAT TO 20%.

I am fortunate enough to have a stair master at home. I bought one a few years ago for a killer deal of $450 from the original $1200 this one was valued at around this year. I never used it but knew it was a killer work out. I now use it on the days I just can't get to the gym or don't get to go to Sloan Lake and run. I…

I leave for mexico June 4th and would like to be in the 160's range. I am currently 182, so I would need to lose at least 13 pounds but it would be great if I could lose more. I also want to platen to stomach more.

I went on a 17.2 mile bike ride to start preparation for my first triathlon I am doing on July 22nd. It was really tough but I did it and will do it again in about a month.

I eat a 1/4 cup of old fashioned oatmeal every morning. I do not add sugar. I eat mine with a yogurt called Kroger Carb Master. It is adviced that you off set the carb with a protein which is in the oatmeal as well as in the yogurt. The yogurt acts as a sweetner for the oatmeal. This is working well for me. I some time for…

Keep the big picture in mind and forget the rest. The big picture meaning weight loss and getting fit. I recently joined a Master Swim Team, which I never new that anyone can join as long as you can swim. I was nervous but when I got there I notice people who were just like me. I needed something that was really going to…
