When I had lost about 30 or 40 lbs my body went nutty and my periods were either missed or I had 2 or 3 a month. My doc said that the change in body fat had changed my hormone production and put me on a different pill. I would check into that option too- especially if you have been making progress. Weight and hormones are…

Jog is a funny word to me- I don't know how to define it. If both feet are on the ground at the same time, you are walking, if not, you are running. Jogging just doesn't make sense to me....but on to the topic at hand... I think that running shoes are a good idea for anyone who is running. You are getting the impact on…

I would suggest that if you are running you hit up a local running store- they will be able to help you find the TYPE of shoe that you need, and then you can buy it in the brand you prefer. For instance, depending on how your foot moves when you run you will need a neutral, motion control, or stability shoe. You can find…

ummm... I still go all the time, at least 1x an hour.... no great advice here. Sorry.

Superb news! You ROCK! Soon you'll be under 300! I love the phrase "chuffed to bits" btw.

That's the spirit! We are totally here for you. Friend me if you like!

If you want to mimic outdoor running set the incline between .5 and 1.5- this is what Runner's World suggests to mimic out door running- in that case, the effort should be the same and you could rely on the MFP database for the speed you ran. I wouldn't guess the difference in effort is enough to make a huge difference in…

Seeing them live in a few weeks for the first time. I'm so pumped!

Well- okay, then in all seriousness, I suggest you do a few things first. 1) Talk to your doctor. 2) Go to a professional running store- not a ****'s or Foot Locker or Sports Authority, but a Fleet Feet or a Ken Combs or a Blah Blah etc. Running store- Tell them you are new to this and talk to someone in there about…

eesh- I have better tastes than some of this may indicate but... 1) Eminem 2) Lady GaGa 3) Coheed and Cambria 4)Jimmy Eat World 5) Arcade Fire well- really I'm proud of all but one of those.

hmmmm.... I still love some chinese food and I go to the Indian Buffet (yes, I said buffet) in my hometown about 1x a month or so. In all honesty, I guess my answer is I save it for a day I've run 8-10 miles that morning. I know that's probably not that helpful, but Ras Malali is heaven. I just can't imagine never eating…

Also- I think planning ahead really helps me stay on track. I eat alot of the same things, but even when I make something new, I map out the day and make sure it fits in. Putting breakfast and lunch in and then toying with dinner to come up with something that fits before I even cook (or buy) it helps me not get into…

Yes. Aknep is on to something. I know it is hard to be patient, and it is really awesome you have the committment and drive to do this. But, you probably didn't put the weight on at 2lbs a week, it stands to reason that it's okay to lose it more slowly too. I really liked taking it easy because it felt like something I was…

Oh dear. You probably will look weird- have you ever watched a race, or see a bunch of marathon photos? Check out this link- We all look like doofuses. I can't post my own photos (the people at sport photo are serious about me not using them with out paying them $15.00 first) but they are equally bad, I promise.…

Oh boy- huge debate on this one. Huge. There are three ways people say to do it- eat all the exercise calories back, eat 1/2 and then some say don't eat your exercise calories. I have lost nearly 50 lbs (over a very long period of time) but my advice is if you are truly exercising and you have your activity level set…
-
I can't say exactly- but when I started I weighed about 175 and I ate 1500 a day. I think I had it set at 1 lb a week, maybe. I remember it being pretty managable. I've since changed goals and calorie limits several times, but I've never eaten only 1200 calories a day. Lowest I went was 1300. You can always set a number of…

^ This ^. Ahh yes, it reminds me of being in school when the whole class got punished and I felt I was behaving. It does stink to be told by the media that we are doing something wrong or contributing to a problem we feel we are not. I think the only other thing to do is to try to educate others, vote (in a government way)…

I noticed after about 10 pounds that my clothes fit different, but just looking at myself I couldn't tell right off. I started noticing right around 20-25 pounds when looking at myself. And then around 30-35 I would catch myself in a mirror or other reflection and not be sure it was me, and then at 40 lbs when I saw old…

I eat oatmeal with 1/4 tsp of vanilla, a sprinkling of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. I find it pretty tasty. It's even better made with a little milk. Some people find they like oatmeal with Peanut Butter or even onions and soy sauce and a fried egg. But back to the OP- I don't think it's too awful. If you like it…

I think that it is analagous to poverty. We all are responsible for our individual finances but there is a governmental (at least in the US), societal, policy and culture issue that creates circumstances that lead to these problems. If you watch King Corn or Food Inc, it's easy to see that policy and government decisions…

You have a point, it doesn't put fat on- but here is one way to think of it- a lot of people on here are concerned with overall health, and many are shooting for clean eating lifestyles. You can bet if something has high sodium it's either high processed packaged food that is likely to come with other unhealthy ingredients…

Are you saying that eric the vampire is a tough choice compared to dog poo? He is certainly the prettiest vamp of all time.
-
What is the second pic under the pile of poo- won't show here- and since I had to view the poo I demand to know the comparisson.

yes 6- super job btw.

When I read this I immediately thought - "Wow, she's smelled Russell Brand - it must be bad!" Then I realized you meant he looks as though he would smell. I'm still laughing to myself.

Who is this Michael Fassbender you speak of?

My SO and I argue over the Anne Hathaway. I think at times she is adorable and at others she looks so strange- like the Chessire Cat or something. It all depends on the make up and lighting with that one. However, JEK717- I've been a fan of the Ryan Reynolds since his Van Wilder days. Never disappoints- well maybe in the…
