I know its a total cop-out but reposting my status update real quick to fill you all in (thats how slammed I have been...) hope to catch up with everyone after the weekend of craziness is over... and check out our blog!!!! "so I have been totally MIA from here this week (good news is I have been…

Leela- dont be afraid if you do see a slight gain at first. A lot of times that happens when people rasie their calories after them beig so low. Its just your body re-adjusting. See how the body composition test goes, but that will really tell you a lot and help you make some decisios in how to focus. Its sounds like you…

Wait and see how the body composition test goes. You may be a lot closer to your ideal weight that you realize. Its hard to tell since I dont know all of your stats, but it may be that your body is getting closer to your ideal weight so it is holding on to anything extra. It may be time to change your weightloss goals to…

I believe that this may be not only my favorite post from you ever but favorite post ever in our group! It is so great to hear you embrace this aspect of the journey. I am soooo sooo happy about this Meag! Enjoy every second of your weekend!!!

I appreciate the response and maybe I am just oversensitive to some of the major negativity that has been going on in the threads the past few months. People have just been downright rude to one another and its really uncalled for. Not everyone has the same level of knowledge and experiences as the next person. As for what…

I'm not so sure that this post really required that nasty of a response. If it bothers you so much about what the OP is posting don't respond at all. For the record, not everyone knows what to eat and what works for one person may not work for another. Yes, there are many ridiculous diets out there that are pretty common…

Meag- dude this push-up challenge in for serious! Haha. I have been doing my squats on my push-up rests and it’s a nice little non-stop circuit. Definitely need to get some other strength stuff back in there though. Sucks about the baseball game being canceled- I know how much you love your baseball! I hope you have SOOO…

Handle what?

Kandace- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE talk to your dr/psych person before you make ANY changes to your meds. A lot of times you have to ween yourself off of a medicine over a few weeks. In my previous job I worked really closely with a psychiatrist and there can be some really scary side effects if you just stop taking meds like…

Definitely interesting! Thanks for sharing

Updating with Yvalcaraz!. Yolanda glad you came back to the group. And staying active on the thread is a great goal (it was one of mine last month) so I am going to include it on here for you. Leela30: comment more on this month's challenge; eat at least 80g of protein a day Believeinmagic: To lose 13 pounds; eat more…

Everyone seems to have some great goals! So great to see this group moving so quickly again and to see everyone so enthusiastic and inspired. A special thanks to Meag for keeping this going and for coming up with such a great opening for the rest first post. PERFECT! Advice for anyone new and overwhelmed by how fast the…

Sorry all have been limited to phone access today and most if yesterday. Just wanted to Jump in on this calorie thing. Just bumped mine up after doing some research and having a heart to heart with meag. I struggle some days to get there especially cause i stay away from processed foods. Only been raised a week so I will…

Yes! Thanks for putting this up!

May List: Leela30: comment more on this month's challenge; eat at least 80g of protein a day Believeinmagic: To lose 13 pounds; eat more vegetables and do more strength training Meggonkgonk: To reach 133lbs; to run my 10k course at least 1x, Run my 4m run at 9:30 Allie7383:get out of the 150's finally, continue with the 30…

Well even though I had my ups and downs last month I really think April was a great month for me. Looks like I pretty much maintained this month. Still trying to figure out what works for me with the WL but I did lose 10 inches between March and April so I am still really happy with that! I definitely started the month off…

Bump for tomorrow!

http://ohsheglows.com/ Great site for recipes in general and she came up with the idea of the "Green Monster" she has a link on her website for recipes for green monsters and other great healthy smoothies My Go to monster that I call "My Purple Monster": 1 Cup unsweetened almond milk 1 scoop unflavored whey powder 1-2…

Alexis- I have never done a warrior dash! I am doing one in August with a few of the ladies from here. Should be pretty exciting! We are totally going to rock these 5ks! Definitely keep us posted on how yours goes!! Sounds like you have some GREAT trips planned! Megan- how is the foot feeling? How did the pup do with the…

Well sounds like it has been crazy with the tornadoes and storms in the states last night. I hope everyone and their loved ones are safe. J had the car this morning for a interview/trial at a new part-time (potentially full-time down the road) as a chef at a local soup kitchen. I managed to get to work walking in between…

Shannon- I LOVE LOVE LOVE strength. It is such a good way to burn extra calories. With lifting your body continues to burn the calories for hours and hours after your workout as the muscles repair themselves. I love me some good Jillian when I need my butt kicked! Just a word of caution with stuff like her 30 days shred. I…

Alexis- Sounds like you enjoyed your trip home! I am def hoping for more sunshine as well! I have a 5k that weekend also! Super excited for it! Megan- I almost laughed when you were talking about pants because I know EXACTLY the struggle you are doing through. Just think about all the great end result clothes though! I…

Hey All. So sorry I have been so MIA the past few days. I know one of my goals was to get more supportive on here again. I have been reading just haven't been able to bring myself to posting. Got myself in a little bit of a funk this weekend. Just beating myself up over the scale which is RIDICULOUS because I am one of the…

Quick fone post... Sorry for any weird typos. Shannon- my goal is to work on both speed and distance. I have no real plans to run in any longer races but i known endurance will help with speed. So doing some interval workouts but will also try to increase my distance each week (it was recommended by some kicking *kitten*…

I know HOLY quietness!!! Come on ladies and gents only a few more days left of April lets make it count! Tara- I love that you are finding other fun activities that keep you moving regardless of a workout or not. AFM- just trucking along with the running. I have been FAMISHED the last two days- maybe its my increase in…

Happy Wednesday everyone! Was only on via the phone yesterday so couldn’t add too much to the group but it seems like things are going well!! Gonks & Meag- thanks for your input on the running… <<dork alert>> printed both your suggestions so I can use them in the skeleton training program I am still ironing out… see below!…

You're a machine!!!! Thank you :bigsmile:

Alright you running vets on here! Need some advice. Still just doing the 5k's for quite some time. No real interest in going any further than that at this point. SO here is the question. What's my next step. I looked up some 5k training plans and found the Hal Higdon 5k training. I guess I am just not sure if I should go…

Hey All! Long time no talk! Been a crazy weekend of wonderfulness!!!! Yesterday I ran my first ever 5k. Low and behold we get at the starting line and they say the reason we called today a "Supper" 5k is due to the fact that the route is actually close to 4.5 miles. All I could think was WTF! I barely thought I was ready…

Quick Warrior Dash post. Tara it is on the 13th and 14th of August. Check out the site http://www.warriordash.com/register2011_new_york.php As far as I know Meag, Gonks, and Spell are doing the 3pm wave. Anyone else I missed from the vets that had signed up for that? I went to register a few months back and all of Saturday…
