Here's my rescue baby Scout (she's a lab/pointer mix) taking a stroll across my furniture. She is getting better on our walks so soon she will become my running buddy.

I signed up for the half marathon that weekend at Disney! It's a great race weekend, this year was my first half marathon in January at Disney. You will love it!!!!!

I'm not an expert of any sort, so take my experience for whatever it is worth... I broke my ankle and had it surgically repaired with a plate and it is now pretty arthritic. I broke my ankle in 2002 and I am now 49 yo. I started running a few years ago with the goal of just a 5K. I never consulted an ortho on it, but my…

I am still working on losing weight and ran my first half marathon in January and now I'm training to do three half marathons in 2017 with a bunch of 5Ks and 10Ks along the way. I am sending a friend request now...

Last year in March I was working on C25K and got the idea to sign up for a half marathon. I signed up for the Disney half in January and last month I finished my first half marathon. You can definitely do this! Just focus on being able to finish, don't worry about time. I loved it and am now planning to do three more half…

I'm not sure if I'm correct in this, but I just go with my steps and don't log my runs separately. I think it would double count if I log the runs and sync my Fitbit.

Love hearing from people what worked for them. I've been running for a little while, so I've been fitted and have great shoes, but I agree if anyone hasn't done that yet, it is a must! Thanks for the tips, I'm very excited to run my first half!!!!

I am planning to run my first half in January. I'm all signed up for the Disney half marathon and am starting to train, but at this point just slowly building my miles and training for a 10K. Hoping the 10K will help me get ready for the half.

I am in exactly the same boat. Not new to MFP or EM2WL, but starting over... Feel free to add me and we can get back on board together! :smile:

I have the Isopure in Dutch chocolate and love it. Lots of protein without adding a ton of carbs and very tasty! I mix mine with almond milk and it is delicious.

Thanks! I am very much looking forward to the move!

I am FROM Minnesota and miss it every day... currently living in exile (Wisconsin). Actually had to move here for work, but still consider Minnesota home. I will send you a request, add me if you want...

Thanks! I will make the changes today and see how it goes...

Thanks! I think I have just gotten so used to the 1200/day I no longer know what is reasonable...

I started today if it isn't too late to join, I'd love to be part of the group. I did my first workout and somehow managed to make sense of everything and got through it. A little nervous for a new workout on Monday, but feeling far more confident now that I survived the first one...

A little bit of fat free French dressing...

That seems very expensive. Where I go now is $65/month and no contract, but they have EVERYTHING - tons of equipment, pool, sauna, lots of classes, etc. I used to go to Snap Fitness which was substantially less expensive but not as much in terms of equipment or amenities. You can definitely find cheaper, but like others…

You can also get them at Costco...

It absolutely works! I couldn't run around the block much less a 5K and after just finishing the program this week I have been running 3 or 4 miles a day about 5 days a week. I HATED running, (I really can't stress the hated enough) and now I am genuinely enjoying it. Take your time with the program, repeat weeks if you…

I just finished C25K and am actually starting to really love running. I come home from a long day at work and can't wait to change my clothes and get out and run. Thank you all of the great info in this thread!!!!!

I'm a single mom of a 21 year old son. I am here every single day and my diary is open to my friends. Anyone can add me if they'd like...

Feel free to add me! My diary is open to friends and I am an inch taller than you and I weigh about 5 more pounds so our goals are very similar.

Anyone who wants a friend on here can feel free to add me. I try to be as supportive as I can be and I'm on here every day! I'm not going anywhere either since I still have a lot to lose and even more to learn!

I haven't been riding the last few years mostly due to lack of time and money, but showed hunt seat over fences for years. I had a gelding app who was the greatest partner any rider could ever wish for. I miss him dealy every day of my life!!!!

Not sure if this was already suggested, but I love cottage cheese with low cal French dressing on it...

I like the you pick two with chicken noodle and the Asian sesame chicken salad, but if I really want to splurge I get the Fuji apple chicken salad. I love that salad, but it is higher in calories than the Asian sesame.

Done! Got them all done at the gym before dinner... Thanks for the challenge!

I'm in... after work. I'm going to the gym tonight so will just add these to the list for the workout, they should fit well right between weights and the elliptical.

Everyone can feel free to add me, I still have quite a bit to lose (40 lbs or maybe a few more) so I am definitely not going anywhere. Happy to offer any support that I can!
