Welcome to the new gals! Great group of ladies on here! KanCrav- the mushrooms sound like a great appetizer (wish I liked mushrooms!!!) hehe Meag- that recipe sounds delish! I think the boy and I are going to try it (still haven’t gotten his sezchuan sauce recipe yet… silly boys) Definitely think a trip to the doctor is in…

YAYYYYY!!!! I totally know how awesome that feels! SOOOO proud of you! :bigsmile:

Just a quick share- I FINALLY lost some weight... hahaha after a 6+ week plateau! and honestly I am crediting the hault from not eating enough after I had really ramped up my exercise. So this past week I really made sure I was eating close to my calories (and if I didnt I knew Meag would yell at me :heart: )!!!!! so…

Oooo I need to check this one out! Rodney Yee does the AM section of the DVD I mentioned above- but its only one routine over and over. Would love to expand a bit and I really like him!

Some great ideas- thanks for sharing!

Love this thread and how chatty everyone has been on it recently!!!! Meag- I am with everyone else on this DOOO IT!!!! You would be amazing- you are passionate about it and you have a great balanced viewpoint!!! Glad that work was a little more low key for you- it has been super crazy the past few months there! Way to go…

I cant make it to yoga classes as much as I would like- and still consider myself VERY much a beginner. I enjoy the AM/PM yoga dvd by GAIAM. I found my copy at a Barnes & Noble last year, but it looks like they are selling it pretty cheap through amazon now. Saw one online for only $5. Definitely worth checking out!

Jill craziness- I have been trying to keep up and SOOO glad to hear things may be working out with the other job!!! very very cool it will definitely help to keep you in a better mental state. Welcome back EMMMMYYYYY!!! YAY Things seem to be moving really well on this thread this week- sorry I have been so lame at keeping…

Hey All, This thread always seems to be super fast on days when I am off and dont have access to a computer. I still get on and log and read through the posts through the fiances phone but its just too hard to write long posts back to everyone. For now just a quick update on me. Got my run/walk intervals in on Monday night…

Im in the exact same position you are- would love to hear what people have to say!

People are ridiculous. Just like the real world unfortunately there are all different types of people with different motivations and reasons for being here. Anyway, my advice to you- anyone who responds to this like all of the people before me are probably here for the right reasons and want to be supportive- friend…

Melissa- glad to hear everyone is feeling better! Hope that you don’t get it yourself- lots of rest! Nadine- glad you are back. Don’t stress about keeping up there are some days/weeks when I don’t do such a good job with it and other times when I am lurking the forum all day… hehe. I mentioned last week that my trick when…

Been doing a lot of thinking the past few days and I am frustrated as heck! Dont read this post the wrong way as in I am frustrated and want to give up because that is SOOO far from the truth. I am just feeling overwhelmed like maybe I am not doing the right things and everywhere I read and research there are just so many…

Meag- I LOVE your advice always- it always makes me think and thats what I like about advice. I like to be able to think and process and then make a decision for myself. Anyway- I think that this was perfect advice! Now that I have a better idea of what my body can really do (before it was definitely all mental) I will…

Thanks ladies for the congratulations and the encouragement. Not sure where I am at this point in terms of new running goal for the end of January... do you think being able to run the two miles by the end of January is a stretch? I dont want to overdo it and set myself up for failure either. At this point I am definitely…

thanks !

Morning All- you guys were quiet last night! Jill- I bow down you and your ability/willingness to run in crazy weather! You are incredible! I am definitely not there yet… yes wimpy new runner right here… haha Skip- Happy Birthday!!! great job making healthy choices for your birthday! Its all about finding the balance and…

Sorry some of you all are having such rough days. Hopefully tomorrow brings something better! So earlier today I admitted to my addiction to reading blogs. Well here is one I have been following thanks to Meag (actually I am following another one thanks to here now that I think about it) Anyway a while back Meag…

EEEEK!!!! Just found a run in March that I think I am going to register for. Its only $15 and its only 2 miles... I know I know sounds wimpy to most of you veterans out there BUT its motivation for me AND my dad is going to do it with me. Which is huge motivation for him. He has been working really hard to get back in to…

Hey all- was snowed in yesterday so was stuck at home with no real computer access. Did get on and read all the great posts through the fiancés phone but its too annoying to respond on it so I am going to play catch up today. *** I don’t know if anyone else does this, but I know that when I have been MIA on posting for a…

great job on the run spellbinder!

Megan- so glad that you are enjoying this thread! You are definitely bringing some wonderful insights and additions already keep up the great work. This big day is October 1st. We are doing a fun weekend long kind of thing. Nothing too elaborate. I found a place that has cabins on the property and they overlook a big river…

Hey All! Im back to being on a computer again after a crazy weekend. Have been staying up with reading all of your posts but definitely dont think I am going to be able to respond to everyone. Just too much after two full days. Had a great time on Saturday with the girls for the wedding dress shopping. I was worried that…

TONS of great stuff on here today ladies and gents!!! I swore I would post to everyone today before I left for work but looks like I am closing the shop early- road are getting really nasty. Im going home!!! So just a semi-quick selfish post! Took tomorrow off so that the ladies and I can go check out bridesmaid dresses…

Way to go!!!!You rocked it. Im about 3 weeks behind you... although I will prlly repeat some weeks. We shall see how it goes! :drinker:

Silver180- welcome welcome! Like the goals! There are more males on MFP than lead on… many just don’t post- so good for you! Meag- hahahahaha on the man up. That will only make him more stubborn- hehe. We shall see we shall see. And the mountainous region around there is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. As it gets closer we can chat…

Tai- welcome back!!!!! We missed you! Holidays and families can both be tough on their own combine the two and watch out. That’s cool that you joined WW. Everyone has to find what works best for them- hopefully your mom and sister being there will be good for all 3 of you! Guam- I agree with you about inches vs. pounds its…

Hahaha glad we are on the same page! Working on the fiance. He will be there no matter what but is toying with the idea of racing also! I have a few months to work on him... hahaha

Having a crappy day BUT I refuse to let it impact me being healthy. Still have my lunch packed and just trying to psych myself up for running tonight. Normally I would just go home and be lazy after a day like today but I know it wont help! Anyway enough of that crazy talk! The other day I mentioned that I would love to…
