I live in Ohio and recently signed up with the Ohio River Road Runners (www.orrrc.org). They list any races in the area for the entire year, allow you to volunteer (if you're interested in that kind of thing), and have quite a few races that are either free or charge a minimal fee for ORRRC members. For a year membership…

Tuna in fantastic! Instead of mayo, I like to add in some avocado. Like others mentioned, Greek yogurt is also a great substitute. Toss in some relish, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, and egg - magnifico!

My spring semester at college just started and with doing both full time job and full time school, I'm not sure I'm going to have time to exercise like I used to. :grumble: Probably won't hit 50 like I did last month, but I'm certainly going to do my best to get in what I can when I can! I hate that something has to give,…

You can make a ticker at LilySlim, TickerFactory, etc. Once the ticker is made, just copy and paste the BB code in your post. Any updates made to your ticker on the original site will update on the original ticker you post. Good luck with your mileage!

Thanks! I used LilySlim, in case you'd like to check out what they offer. :flowerforyou:

Let's keep the momentum goin' from last month! :smile:

Started this program late last fall. Had some setbacks due to shin splints (OUCH!) but after taking it easy for a bit and following some good advice from my doc, I'm back on my feet and can currently run almost 4 miles! Good luck and best wishes on your race(s). I've gotten used to the treadmill and dread running in front…

12/23-12/29=Walk/run combo of 16.3 Total of 63.5. I made it!!

1) Started watching my calories and diet, thanks to MFP. Still don't have the cleanest diet, but it's greatly improved from what it used to be! 2) Losing over 40 lbs since May. 3) Started going back to college after a hiatus of a few years -- improving my mental health and challenging my brain! 4) One size away from being…

I'll admit, I certainly indulged more than usual the past few days. I'm proud of myself for at least making the time and keeping up with my exercise though - it would have been much worse if I hadn't done that! And I think getting back on the eating healthy wagon is far easier than getting motivated to start up the…

12/16-12/22=Walk/run combo of 18 miles Total so far: 47.2 miles. So close!

12/9-12/15 = Walk/run combo of 19 miles Total so far: 29.2 miles!

Heck, why not? Bit late to the party, but here's what I have so far... 12/2-12/8= Walk/run combo of 10.2 miles

I honestly have never done a manual treadmill, so I can't weigh in on that. I think I prefer motorized anyways, because I am getting into running and it helps me keep at a constant pace. I would recommend searching around eBay and Craigslist. I was lucky enough to snag a really fancy like-new one (that even folds up!) for…

The Couch to 5K training can be found here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml If you don't like that program or would prefer another, a friend of mine is using this one (probably more feasible for someone that has previously ran, rather than someone new to running period):…

Seems like the meat (and sometimes the produce) are a hit or miss, depending on the location. I've been going to Aldi's since I was young and have no intention of stopping. I actually converted my husband and he loves it! And as so many have mentioned, the fit & active line they've recently started is a huge bonus! I like…

Lots of great advice in here! The only thing I can contribute to this is start small - do it two or three days out of the week at first. That way you get to "sleep in" on the days you don't. After a bit, your body will start wanting to wake up earlier on the days you sleep later, just because it has become accustomed to…

How awesome! Way to go and keep at it! :smile:

Eggs with lots of veggies - peppers, onions, tomatoes, broccoli...add in some meat (bacon, sausage, ham) and voila! Don't even need the cheese! (Unless you really want it, in which case mozzarella is perfect since it's part skim milk). Enjoy whatever you decide on! :drinker:

Yup. THIS ^^^. Except it was her older brother. And she was mad we didn't plan the wedding the way her and her mother wanted. Oi.

It really is a mind over matter. A lot of people have posted great tips. I may have overlooked this one, but next time you crave something, have a glass or two of water prior to any eating. It will help you feel a bit fuller, plus helps get in those 8 a day! If that doesn't help, try adding what you are thinking about…
