Hey All- Still here still logging and still reading. Just been so insanely busy at work this week that I havent had a chance to post on here. Pain in the butt to post from my phone when I am at home. Not too much new going on. Been walking a lot to work and getting some runs in for my 5k this Sunday. Should be interesting!…

Shannon- Sorry don’t think I ever responded. That IS a mouthful but it sounds like you really know what you want to do with it which is awesome! Congratulations on the wedding! Its craziness right? Gonks- I *heart* you! Your post definitely made my day yesterday! Loving that the pig picture is back too! How was your first…

bump for later. thanks for sharing!

Happy Saturday everyone! Walked to work again this morning but did it a bit faster at a 15min mile pace. Other than that not too much. Had the day off yesterday. Went to look at dresses for the wedding for my mom and tried on a few dresses for the rehearsal dinner. Didn't find anything but it was actually fun looking. Just…

OOO!!! I knew there was something else I wanted to share! J made a DELICIOUS hot cereal this morning for us using nuts instead of oats! with some fresh blueberries on top it was AMAZING He got the recipe from the new Primal Cookbook: Primal Blueprint- Quick and Easy Meals 1/2 Cup almonds (whole or slivered) 1/2 cup pecans…

Ngoat- so how did it go with the boss yesterday? Tara- 2lbs! You are a wild woman and you were stressing about not losing enough last week! I am at a break through point also (getting out of the 190’s. I haven’t been in the 180s since I was 186 when I first met my fiancé over 5 years ago.) I AM REAADY! Congrats on breaking…

Just checking in from home real quick. Enjoying a nice lazy rainy day off. Had a lot on my to do list but so far just being lazy. Curled up in bed with the pup snuggled up on one side and the cat on the other. Rain days seem to make all three of us snuggly. Downloaded a book to my phone. Still does not beat a real book in…

Rachel!!! SO SO SO glad to have you back!!!! March was a rough month for most of us. Just jump back in to it. We are all gearing up for a kick *kitten* month!!!! you can do this!

Em- GAHH 2 months! Im just under 6 away and I am freaking out. More power to ya woman! I am sure its going to be an amazing wedding!!! Just take care of you! Megan- LOVE when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom in DC. We used to try and go down every year around that time. Its been a while. You are totally kicking…

As Tara said welcome to all the newbies in the group!!! There is lots and lots of good discussion, advice, and sometimes there may be times when we say stuff you may not like to hear but know that it comes from a place of wanting to see everyone succeed. There are some amazing ladies in this group that are either in…

March Goals: see a loss on the scale, continue lifting 2-4 times a week, run 1-2 times a week, walk to work at least 2 times a week, play outdoors more, keep eating clean! Be supportive of new people on here giving honest opinions and input. Results: Fluctuated back and forth within a few lbs with the weight so did not see…

Back at a computer today- bumping for later when I can put in my goals and everything. Glad to see everyone kicking it so hard already this month!

Great job finishing out the month everyone. It has definitely been a tough one. I hope that next month is better for us all and we can really kick some *kitten*!!! Cait

Meag- take care of you! I know how frustrating this has been for you with everything going on and then your foot to boot. One day at a time lady. Sometimes that’s all we can do Tara- glad to hear you are going to kick it the rest of this week. You are one tough cookie. Don’t be frustrated by your setbacks just jump back up…

Hey all. Wow can't believe its almost the end of the month where has everyone gone!?!?! *Hangs head* I know I know I have disappeared too. I've hinted over the past few weeks that I am struggling with finding the balance. I would say from beginning of December until February I was a lifting, running, working out machine…

Great recipes in general here .... http://ohsheglows.com/ The woman who started the OhSheGlows website does all sorts of great smoothies that she calls "Green Monsters" she even made a website just for all the recipes... http://greenmonstermovement.com/ My personal go to one that I always use after lots of trials is: 1 cup…

No worries Mike! Its been like that for all of us recently. We are just glad you are back. Chime in when you have the time no stress!

ahadj- welcome to the group and congratulations on how you have come already!!!!. Definitely a fun and fast moving thread to be involved in. Lots of new people this month so you are in good company. We still have some time left so come up with some goals for the last few days of March. Below is the most recent list. Just…

Melissa- glad she is feeling better. It is so important to give the ones we love what they need and cut ourselves some slack with this huge focus. I think you did the right thing and I think your health and fitness will be better for it! Tara- I love love love that you and your son have been doing so much hiking recently.…

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Enjoy any beautiful weather you might be having and get moving outside!!!! :bigsmile: Cait

ditto to what Meag said about eating too few calories... I started here at 206 at 5'5" and ate 1700 to lose one lb a week... and I did consistently until I started exercising so much that I wasnt getting enough calories... so really consider upping the calories and eating back your exercise calories like Gonk posted…

ya as soon as I wrote that... I realized what it was! I went through years of not being able to run because of getting that after having surgery on my femur. Just ran my first run in 8 years this past week! Feel free to friend me. I am slowly but surely getting back in to running myself and have some great stretches for…

Whats ITBS?

Megan- NSV are the BEST! so glad to hear that you conquered that two miles I know you have been really working at it so you deserve it! LOVE the pencil skirt story- guess you will just have to go out and get a new one... teehee Cait

mike so good to sere you back here!

Keep up the great work everyone! So nice to see so many newer Kick *kitten* faces keeping the group moving! You ladies are rocking it :bigsmile: Cait

Thanks ladies! Megan- honestly this may sound crazy but you were partially my motivation. I knew that we had started running at the same time and you have been kicking *kitten* on your runs and I was like "Cait, Megan would be very disappointed if you didnt do this. She has been working so hard if she can do it so can…

Well the 2 mile run went really well yesterday! Almost bailed on it just wasn't in the mood to do it and didnt think I could do it. But the fiance ended up getting off of work so we trekked over there with my rents. I was so freaked out because it was the first time running since I broke my leg eight years ago and just…

kris_g- welcome to the group and great job on getting started! Introduce yourself a bit to the group and come up with some goals for the remainder of the month. Most people do one scale goal and then a bunch of non-scale goals. Some people do all non-scale goals. Whatever works for you. find the most recent list of goals…

Tara- you are just doing all sorts of fun exercise activities! I LOVE it!!!! You are a machine! Love seeing how you accomplish all the goals you put before yourself!!! Kbell- thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share with us. Its so hard to respond to your post because on one hand I feel like I know EXACTLY what…
