I haven't been. I am the worst but I do plan on doing better. Thanks!

Me too. Thanks for the response. It's good to know that I am not alone. Funny thing is that I have been at this since May and this is the first time this has happened. Good luck to you!!

I love hearing this. Congratulations on reaching your goal.

That is absolutely wonderful. How great you must feel.

As for me, I have noticed that when I eat fruit with a little protein (like cottage cheese and a fresh nectarine) about 30-45 minutes before I work out, I have alot more endurance. Definitely stay away from heavy, high fat meals right before your exercise.

I must confess also, I too am addicted to the scale. I noticed that when I weigh everyday, It holds me accountable and like you said, it gauges my activities/menu for the day. When I stopped weighing everyday, the weight crept up and when I weigh everyday, my weight stays stable.

I wish. Only in my dreams:ohwell:

My stomach (besides the stretchmarks!). It is tight and toned. If I didn't have the stretchmarks from having two 8 lb boys, I would never cover it up:laugh:

Yep. First place to go for me and the bad thing was that I was already a 32A!!

I have a hard time getting in all of my calories also. I use nuts to try and fill the gaps but it doesn't help that much.

Love this show....sitting here watching it now (PST). Already set my recorder to record the entire series...

You go girl. I was told that when I turned 30 I would be overweight regardless of what I did. Well, guess what? I am 42 and the smallest (102 lbs and a size 0) I have ever been. And I have two boys. So,yeah....go for your goal and don't let them haterz stop you.

That is absolutely awesome. How great you must feel right now!!!!! Congrats.

Great link. Thanks for sharing. I have added this to my favorites.

Calendar age: 42 "Real Age": 35 7 years difference.

That is absolutely wonderful. You have just inspired me. My first 5K is in November and I hope to do as well as you. Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 5'1" and 103 (was 102) lbs. I wear a size 0. When I was 112-115 I wore a size 1 (snug)

I had the same problem. this post may help. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/61460-weight-gain-higher-intensity-workout-question?hl=weight+gain+with+workout#posts-741030

It's true that I may be more active outside of work, but since I am so anal, I bring ALL of my food to work including snacks and decline offers for anything else and only drink water while I am here. I use my 45 minute lunch break to take a 30 minute walk and then work out intensely in the evening. Thanks for all of your…

Hi there. The same thing happens to me more often than not. I will usually have a light snack or some nuts. I usually don't end up eating all of them,but I do try to get some in without the meal being to heavy. Hope this helps.

Thanks much for your responses. They make me feel sooooo much better:smile:

Great job.... keep up the great work!!!!!:drinker:

Good to know. for the first time after I ran yesterday, I noticed a tender area at the ball of my feet from friction that I never had before. Off to buy new socks!!!!

I was the exact same way. I reduced my carbs a little and kept working out. That helped me. My problem now is finding the right balance for my body to maintain. Good luck:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the suggestions:heart:

Me too. I am in the maintanence phase now and it is proving to be a challenge. I still don't eat all of my calories. I have added nuts, protein powder and still fall short especially since I exercise all the time. So, come on.... I know some of you all have been maintaining. Please share your stories with us...

Welcome to the site There are endless amounts of topics, suggestions and tips which I have found to be extremely helpful. Browse around, I am sure you will find something to help you along this journey...:flowerforyou:

It is totally addictive. And if I am going to be addicted to something, it might as well be running. I absolutely love it and I can't wait for the next time I run (I run approx 3 times a week). It is such an invigorating feeling along with a sense of accomplishment for me.

I don't have the answer to your question but wanted to say "good job" on your achievement!!

congrats, congtats, congrats....way to go!!!!
