cadbury thins are great for me. they are only 100 calories and AMAZING they taste just like the regular cadbury bars, just way better for you...and portion control is always good for me, ESPECIALLY during TOM

hello everyone :) just thought i'd make sure this thread keeps going. Along with your running, what else is everyone doing to improve their fitness levels? i have been doing strength training 3x/week as well as running 2x/ week and horseback riding friday nights. I finally feel like I am starting to get things back in…

Hello ladies :) I am sure Im a little late on the HRM convo but I have to say that I have the F7 and it is AMAZING. I absolutely love it! I use it when i run outside and the treadmills at work are polar equiped so they read it right way as well..pretty cool. I also have started using it when I do classes and especially…

Thanks for the post Steph :) I emailed her some questions I had too, so hopefully she has some helpful answers for that as well! Great job to everyone running today.

Pinbot- Great job on still fitting in a work out in a shorter time :) I am so excited...I did something I have never done...i completed the FULL 5KM ON THE DREAD MILL today. I normally stop at about 3.5-4km but I kept pushing. it took me 48minutes…

Hello everyone :) just wanted to pop by and see how everyone else is making out this month. I just changed jobs and am now commuting 1.5 hrs each way so that is really eating into my work out time and i find I want to eat wayyy more when I am awake longer and bored driving! I have also decided to start packing my lunches…

Ok...I have decided I cannot run at the gym I work at. i tried to run 5km on the dread-mill with a friend on thursday and again today and both times I got interrupted by the staff or members and never actually got to finish. I think I am going to run outside tomorrow provided its not-25 again and just get it done! good for…

Hey Ladies :) Steph, glad the gateway is working out well! I am looking forward to stepping up my running time as soon as possible.

So on that note, I got out yesterday morning and went for a 4km run which i figured isnt too bad considering I havent really run other…
