  • I've had my nexplanon in for about a year (give or take a bit). I gained a bit of weight but that had more to do with stress and horrible eating habits. I honestly think its just a mental thing, if you look at it as "well I'm going to get this and I'll have no control over whether or not I lose/gain weight" then that's…
  • Maybe try the Atkins Advantage shakes. They're about 160 calories and I believe they're alright for diabetics, plus they're delicious and pretty decent in protein.
  • Looks like we're in the same boat (minus joining the army :P ) I have to mentally prepare myself for plateaus that last a week or longer but once you get past it, it seems the weight falls off without much effort. It helps to keep your goals (big and small) somewhere you see everyday. You can add me if you'd like, maybe we…
  • Once. Luckily the treadmill is at home. Not so luckily, I slammed my back into my bed frame. Refused to get on the thing (treadmill) for a few weeks after that.
  • sounds great, I'm in!
  • Day 3 is done! I nearly died (yes I am being al little overdramatic, but it felt like it at the time) I decided to try to follow the advanced person, got through it all with only some modifications, due to reactivating an old hip injury. 27 days to go! :)

  • Okay, I WILL finish this this time! I was seriously debating doing the shred today, I'm extremely sore after I decided to do the 6 week 6 pack abs at night yesterday in addition to day one of the 30 day shred in the morning ( I realize now that was a bad idea). I am proud to say that I just finished day two and with the…
  • Sorry I'm a bit late to the game guys.

  • thanks :) i really appreciate the links and suggestions. Question: the day of the race do you take your own water bottles or rely on the water that they hand out during the race? in my 5k i didnt know what to do and was extremely confused and relied on them to give me water (and forgot my inhaler making it harder to…
  • thank you so much. I will most definitely remember that. :)
  • so start adding longer runs within the weeks to come? also what foods/ drinks (besides water) are best before and during races? I've see all sorts of crazy diets that are supposed to help with running but dont believe half of them work. any idea if different health foods make a difference? thank you so much for giving me…
  • intervals as in run/walk combos? thanks for the advice and good luck in October :)
  • i'd suggest adding in something, for instance when i started losing weight all i was doing was running (okay lets be honest, jogging.... extremely slowly) when i hit my plateau i started swimming and added in strength training and got over it. moral of the story is: try adding something different.(i.e. if you're a…
  • diet advice would be to drink a LOT of water fitness advice....mmmmm..... workout in the morning before your mind can tell you not to. :)
  • Congrats on starting! (as far as I'm concerned its the hardest part of the journey). So long as you keep yourself motivated, have fun, hold yourself accountable and keep your goal in mind you'll lose everything you want! also keep hydrated! if you need a friend feel free to add me. Good luck! :D
  • for once I didn't cheat... however i didn't workout either. I figured they (the athletes) worked out hard enough for both me and them :)
  • I'm 5' 5." weigh 169. wear a size 13 but they're loose! :)
