Terrific! Your hard work and vigilance is paying off.

:heart: LOVE IT!:heart:

I see so much garbage on Yahoo news, I look at it as a source of comedy. This guy has really missed the point. Yes, of course it's about diet and food intake. But exercise is not just about weight. It's about a healthy body and mind, it's about fighting disease and building strength (which I know we all know here). The…

Yay! I did it, I did it!!! I was able to do the whole 25 minutes of running (it took 3 1/2 weeks from the two 10 minute runs to make it to the whole 25 minute run). I think it's the tail end of week six of the Couch to 5k plan.

Ce-ler-brate--good times--come on (dating myself).

Never been to Guam, but it's island food, right? Is it more like Hawaii or is it more Asian like? An island should have a lot of fresh fish, and local produce. I'd start with that. Make it a challenge to take local cuisine and see what you can do with it in terms of healthy dishes that work for your tastes. If you start…

When I get a craving, I first drink a pint of water with lemon and then see how I feel. If I still want it in 10 minutes, I'll try to give myself a little. But if it's a bad treat, and I'm dying for it, I say to myself, if you really want it, you have to cook it. Like cookies for example. I don't allow myself to buy…

I'm still having a hard time with moving from the two 10-min runs to the one 25min run. It seems like a big jump, but I'm going to try today.

Not only is the 5 minute warm up walk important before running, but my trainer has me do it before I do my strength training as well. She says will will help me to do more.

I wish I could see my belt when I sit down.:tongue:

Perhaps you've never looked at your own thighs, but have you looked at a woman's thigh's, back side, front... comeon, be honest:wink:

"Ta-dah" Yeah!!!:happy:

Being bad is never so much fun unless you've been good. So since you've been good, have lots of fun!!!

hehehe:bigsmile: I agree, need lots of water.:drinker: Personally, my problem is drinking too much water (and not being diligent in recording it). But it's only happened once that I nearly fainted from drinking too much water.

Coffee ice cream is the best. ...we all scream...

It's so bad all over the place. In just the last two weeks of the Spring semester, the faculty in my department spent 60 hours each in a hiring committee. This summer, adminstration fired every person who was hired for Fall. Our guy had already made provisions to move his whole family from Texas to California. I also know…

Here's an idea. Use the 9 months to perfect healthy dishes that you and he would love. Plan out all the wonderful meals you will have together when he gets back. This way, you are focused on what a wonderful and healthy time you guys will have when he gets back, you will be working with food (and eating it while doing…

Half turkey, half beef... like that idea, going to try.

I had a Big Mac a few years ago, and the first bite brought back nice childhood memories when my parents would bring us kids to MacDonalds as a treat. By the third bite, it's didn't taste so good. When I was done (I didn't finish it), I felt gross and my body felt worse. It cured me of every wanting a Big Mac again. My…

I also take Citrocel multiple times a day. Coffee works very well (because it dehydrates you, and is taking that water to use where you need it... ahem) but I wouldn't use that as regular method to be "regular" because the problem would still be there. And constipation is foiler for a healthy metabolism. Like what everyone…

First, like all restaurants, it depends on the restaurant you go to. There are greasy pit stops, and there are more authentic Chinese restaurants. The more authentic, the more likely the less garbage (heavy sauces) you'll find in the dish (where a lot of the calories are). I'm being rude, but I'm not trying to be so…

I read recently that in order to engage all the muscles in your belly area, a good exercise is to use a medicine ball and do a twisting throw to a partner. Back and forth, but then again, you need a partner to do this.

Jelly Bellys, yum... Just the mention of them makes my mouth water.

My favorite smoothie: silken tofu, frozen mangos, banana, a little juice, soy protein powder, wheatgerm...blender... delicious (you don't taste the tofu, but you get all of it's benefits).

In the introduction of this site (links with answers to common questions) it explained that because people do strength training at different levels and times (different amounts of breaks between reps) that they really can't calculate for you. But you can probably calculate with a heart rate monitor yourself. Or there are…

I had asked the community yesterday for advice on HRM's. You can read their posts here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/62213-hrm-advice-what-do-you-like-and-why

When I was young, like you, I also had terrible cramps. The only thing that made them go away, and allowed me to get out of bed was drugs. Sadly, Advil, Motrin, and the like were the only things that helped me. But once I took the drugs, I could do the normal things that I did. I didn't feel too bad taking the drugs, since…

I like that idea, measuring how much water we lose. Thanks for sharing. I do need reminding sometimes to not take the scale too seriously.

I bet there is an ap out there for those who eat out.

Why should we not use the microwave?
