Do what is the best thing to mix it with if not milk? Can you use water?

Thanks!

Sounds great! I'm in. I have a vacation booked for May and definitely don't want to be this heavy and low energy for that. Fitness goals for 90 days – stay within my allotted calories 1400 calories. Beginner stats – weighed this morning and a terrifying 226lbs.

Me too. Looking for people who are comitted and supportive with a bit of a sense of humor ;)

Ill add you. Looking for someone to do this with for at least the duration of the year. 30 will be great for you!

Id love some new mfp friends. Im at 220 and want to get back to the 140s....sigh. Ill be eating healthy, exercising regularly and getting back to doing the C25K which got me into running before I gained all this weight.

Vancouver here. Would love some new mfp friends to support each other. Please feel free to add me. Would like to lose 70 lbs

I found saving enough calories for a really good thermos of creamy hot chocolate at night/bed time...the good stuff not the light stuff...helped a lot.

Add me too. I'd love mohave some accountability people on here. I worked hard to lose 70+lbs with diet and running but gained it all back after a car accident 2 years ago. Trying to get back to it. Feel free to add me.

I lost 62 then put 24 back on. Lower carbs ( not super low, just lower) and exercise are the key. I put weight back on very fast if I slack on either of these.

My first junk meal (Kraft dinner and 2 hot dogs) after eating healthy for months.... I puke for the rest of the night.

I must friend you all. So inspiring!

Thanks for sharing your experience and Im so sorry for your loss.

YES! quote] I run for the feeling of being 10 years old again. I jump over logs, dodge roots, splash through puddles and feel like I did when life was uncomplicated. :-) [/quote]

This is what started me running : )

Ive read it has to do with sympathetic and parasympathic response. Not sure though...hopefully someone else has some better info.

I had my a** kicked by an 85 year old in the last 10k. Awesomely inspirational...but still....I must have some room for improvement despite my ripe old age of 34 ; )

Wholey eff! Funny!

From things Ive read, I've been under the impression its not good to run every day, that you need a rest day in between. Is this not right? Kind of changes everything...

If you like it then its worth it. I was a sprinter too. Never endurance. Just a little piece of my experience.... I also started with the C25K A YEAR AGO and I have only broken 5k in under 30 minutes once. When I started I couldnt run from telephone pole to telephone pole. Now 9k is a fun run. Its worth it...dont stress,…

Im aware its not healthy or realistic , this is just general conversation, no need to lecture on the health risks...just was wondering f anyone knew how they do it so consistently. They were home for 2 weeks and even if it wasnt exactly 2 weeks maybe 2.5 weeks, the losses are consistently high. If you dehydrate yourself…

C25k got me started. I couldnt even walk at a decent pace for more than a minute @216lbs. Here are my tips. 1. Stick with it. 2. Get off the treadmill and go outside - you will be amazed at who is watching and who you will inspire. 3. repeat weeks until its becomes comfortable for you...I repeated weeks 3 and 4 and even 5…

Freaking AMAZING!

Is there a way to determine how fast you should be running if you dont use a HR monitor? I average 6'1 - 6'3 /kilometre,,,but speed has stalled. I've repeatedly heard run slower longer but not sure how slow I should slow down to for my long runs. THX!

I'd respect and love him even more for being so committed to his family. You cant ask what number rank you come in in his life. Of course his kids will always be first, if he is as awesome as you say he is. You are girlfriend, maybe even wife one day, they are his kids, apart of him, its different, you cant compare.

People tend to lose weight pretty fast in the first couple/few weeks. 6lbs in 2 weeks doesn't sound that off to me. If you are worried you can eat back some or all of your exercise calories.

I LOVE my Nike + GPS watch. Sometimes I wish you could use it for more than just running....but I love it anyways. I bought a Garmin 410 (before the Nike) and the screen froze after 3 days...never had problems with my Nike. Yes, its basic and thats great by me : )

Thanks for your opinions. I've printed out Hal Higdons half marathon training program for novice 2 runners. Looks like I may make it to 15k! Thanks!

Awesome!

Agree, boobies are gone. Wedding rings got too big so I cant wear them, however, without them I've been asked out...twice <awkward! Also, cold all the time but I thought that was from drinking so much water, so Ive switched to warm water to see if that helps. Also, sitting on hard chairs, the padding around my tailbone…
