Once a week, usually Sunday, I will have a high calorie meal around 800-1200 calories. I try not to let it put me at a surplus for the week, so I kind of plan in advance by eating lower than my net goal in the days leading up. If I've had a high calorie week I will still splurge a little on Sunday, but with smaller…

Mine has to end in 0/5. so weird; I didn't even know I did that until my sister pointed it out recently last time I went home, but honestly now I know why I prefer the lines and not the numbers. [/quote] It HAS to end in 0 or 5...when my bf changes the volume and stops at 33 or something I'm quickly like "maybe a little…

Well I'm going to be the odd man out but I've actually done a cleanse before and enjoyed it. I didn't do all that much research, but one of my co-workers was doing it and I decided to do it with him. We did the cleanse for 4 days. I wasn't doing it to try to lose weight, I just wanted to see what it was like and see how I…

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it this month! I woke up with a brutal sore throat on Sunday and took the past few days off. I am hoping I feel up to a run or two before Thursday!

I am the exact opposite!!! When I'm on the treadmill I am STARING at the numbers and totally psych myself out. When I run outside there are no numbers and I'm able to run miles further!! Sorry - that doesn't help you :-) but YES I think it's mostly a mental thing (either way)

I am SOOOO not a morning person. In fact, I do most of my working out after work or at lunch just to avoid getting up early, but on Thursdays my schedule doesn't allow that so I have to get up to get a workout in. The only way I'm able to get up is by having my weigh-in days on Fridays, this makes me extra conscious on…

Reese's pumpkins!!!!!! Reese's peanut butter cups!!!!! Reese's Pieces!!!!!! Although I have to say, I've heard good things about Unreal candy...I may give it a try (in addition to aforementioned Reese's extravaganza)

I second what meiyoumao said...I look at my net calories for the week. If I'm under for the week - it's a success. This allows me to have some splurge meals that balance with the days I am extra healthy/burn a lot of calories. However, at the same time, I have forced myself to have the mentality that every day is a new…

way to go!!! you look awesome!!!

Got in an 8.12 mile run at a 9 minute pace last Friday! Longest run yet....should be just shy of target for the month, but will make up for it with a couple long runs this week!

Hoping to do a long run tomorrow, but for now I am almost right on target...

My favorite is peanut-butter chocolate: 1 cup almond milk (or you can use water) 1 small banana or 1/2 large 1 scoop protein 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter ice 345cals, 48g carbs, 17g fat, 32g protein, 19g fiber, 393mg sodium good luck!!

Chicken enchiladas are one of the healthiest options at a Mexican restaurant (so long as they're not covered in cheese). Corn tortillas are better for you than flour tortillas, so wherever you can make that swap it is definitely a good one. Choose black beans over refried to save a bit of fat and calories. Take a handful…

Great job!!!! What an accomplishment! :-) Really fast time too!! I ran my first half and had to drag my body the last 2.1 miles after the 11 mile mark!

No one has the right to tear you down. Screw those girls, you're amazing!!! Congratulations on the 4 mile mark - that's a huge accomplishment and you should be really proud!!! You got this :-) also karma.

I forgot to post on the original, but can you add me to the challenge??? I've hit my goals the last 2 months (50 miles, 65 miles), so I'd like to increase to 75 miles of running this month! Here's my ticker as of today, I think I'm just about on track:

Good post!!! You have some great suggestions....I've been hearing alot about this PB2, I think I should check it out! Also, I would love to eat 1/2 a pizza...will have to look at the one you mentioned :-) One of the things I've found is a really good ice cream "replacement" is Yoplait frozen greek yogurt bars. At 90…

I've been traveling just about every week for business for about 4 1/2 years, which is what got me to MFP in the first place!!! Initially I found it really difficult to eat appropriately, when eating out for pretty much 3 meals a day (with the exception of Friday-Sunday). I stopped working out as much, because hotel gyms…

Around 3 everyday I will have around 15 almonds and a small apple or banana. If not one of these, I keep yoplait frozen greek yogurt pops in the freezer in the break room...those are SO good and super satisfying. When I want something salty I will have some all natural beef or turkey jerky. If I don't have a snack and wait…

I did it!!! I guess I have to increase my goal for October!! 70.87 miles running (goal - 65 miles)

On track to hit 65 running miles this month!!! I may even get to 70 by Monday!! url=http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker][/url]

mmm salads My favorite salad is farro, beets, cucumbers, onions and goat cheese on mixed greens with a splash of balsamic vinaigrette....nomnomnom

Some great insight so far, I appreciate it!! Sounds like the consensus is FAR! Although I know I'll need to do what's right for the time and circumstances of each workout....I also think based on these replies I should probably look into a reliable HRM, it would probably keep me on track when trying to keep the "fat burn"…

RllyGudTweetr - That makes sense.....I guess I'll just have to keep pushing further!! :-) thanks for the tip!

Thanks everyone for your input!! carsonruns and vpetryshyn - I guess I just need to be patient and push myself to go further, even if it's slow. I ran a half marathon a couple years ago and I was running 11 min/miles....I'd like to do another and crush my previous time!! Also chad23jl - your alternation sounds like…

I am on the road monday through thursday every week (going on about 5 years) 1. Depending on what's included I'd probably pay somewhere between $20-$40 2. I stay on top of my fitness usually in hotel "gyms"...free weights and treadmills for the most part, although I'd like to do some more yoga if I had a travel mat. 3. I…

On target for the month!!

Hoping to get in a couple long runs this weekend!

I'm in!!! I almost hit 63 miles in August, with a goal of 50...so I will shoot for 65 miles in September!

Hit my goal on Monday, and decided to keep trucking!!
