I probably do smell funny.... and thanks for the LOLs.

@Angel, will send an FR :bigsmile: Let us know how you do with running. Are you going to do C25K? @Jane, a weekend alone sounds kind of nice! Hope you find something fun to do. And get a good workout in. @Ron, cute dog! The fitbit is making life interesting for you isn't it? I thought about getting one, but decided for the…

Nerd yes. Gamer, no, hubby is though. Engineer, also no, but my brother is! My nerdiness comes from my love of reading, and sci-fi, especially Dr. Who, classic & current. But also love Warehouse 13, Big Bang Theory, Torchwood, Eureka, and pretty much any superhero movie. And as a crafty nerd, I could probably make any…

I've been running for a few months now, still a new runner, but I have progressed enough that I ran an 8K last weekend (4.97 miles) in an hour and 3 minutes. On average, a 5K takes me about 38-40 minutes. I'll be doing one this weekend! All that to say, slower is better, when it comes to new runners anyway. A training…

Two kids, 4 & 9. Hubby is full time, I am part time. About 3 times a week. Except this week. He's out of town, that means I'm frustrated.

French fries dipped in chocolate milkshakes ketchup on mac & cheese (homemade only thankyouverymuch!) chocolate flavored green smoothies

Mine isn't on the list. And it would probably be on the low stress list. I do tech support for a small software company that specializes in non profit accounting. And I work from home, making my job even easier.

My best friend and I laugh when we compare our babies. Mine were both very small at birth, 5 lbs 9 oz for my first, and 6 lbs 8 oz for my second. My best friend on the other hand, her 3 were all closer to 10 lbs. She did deal with gestational diabetes, and I did deal with pre-eclampsia, which partially accounted for their…

Found an old pair of pants yesterday! Decided to keep them, only for this purpose though. [img][/img] Old pants by aguppymama, on Flickr

The majority of my exercise consists of running, walking, bike riding, and yoga. All done in the comfort of my own neighborhood/home. 52 lbs down as of today, in 6 months.

Probably Me Sleeping - always get super tired

Made a blog post about the 8K if anyone wants to read about it :bigsmile: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/megblackburn/view/my-first-8k-race-556022

Ack! Feels like forever since I've posted in my favorite thread! @Steph, you're so close to that 100 lb mark that you'll be there in no time! And hopefully the DOMS aren't too terrible. Have a fun weekend with your cousins! @Ron, I took a look at the India pics, looks like a very interesting trip. And you've been "doing…

Kindle, I've had the basic wi-fi kindle and the Fire. Loved both, especially for the large quantities of free books on amazon.

I weigh daily. It works for me, but I know it doesn't work for everyone. It just helps me have an idea of where I'm at. If I have a big enough loss, I'll record it. I don't record gains, because I know they'll go away in a day or two. I don't have a specific weigh in day for this method.

I want to be able to sit on my husbands lap and not squash him. And I want to look better naked too!

7/16 + 3.69 miles walking/running

7/16 + 3.69 running/walking

I decided I was done being fat. So I started logging my food, and I started walking. Eventually walking wasn't enough, so I started running.

Couldn't find this thread until now! Was in last month. Been keeping track though, so here it is, running only this month.

I can't eat Hawaiian pizza with the pineapple still on it. But I won't order without pineapple, because it leaves a little juice/flavor that I like. I like ketchup on macaroni and cheese.

July 15 + 3.17 miles running

I'm here for a quick check in as well. Busy but fun weekend, 2 birthday parties, eating out at a pizza place for one, bbq for the other. Sent boy 1 off to camp yesterday for the week. Boy 2 is not feeling well, so may end up at the pediatricians today. And hopefully I can run this evening.

July 13 + 4.17 miles running

@Tru, I used to be built for camping, did it many time growing up. And on into adulthood. I think it's the part where I had to sleep on the ground, instead of using an air mattress. I drive a really small car and was trying to be economical with the space I had to pack. That's not happening again! lol Glad to hear your…

The food out there, it dazzles. I mean, it blinds you to the things that are important. I've seen it devour relationships in fact. It's meant to do that. Because for one person to have eaten all that, to have tasted the glory, and then go back. It will tear you apart.
