  • Just did my first ever half marathon last Saturday. I think that was enough for me...
  • Well done! Sounds like you're on a similar timeline as me - first ever 5K Sep, 2012, planned first 1/2 marathon Sep. 2013, which bunches of 5K's, and various others in between. Must say though that the training for the 1/2 marathon is definitely much more mental than physical at this point. I'm frankly just plain bored by…
  • Nicely done! It's probably covered somewhere else, but what's a BodPod?
  • Way cool - I can empathize to a degree.. My TG were never quite that high, but finally have them down in the 70s-80s at last year's physical...from being in the 250-280 range always in previous ~14 years. hoping that I've been able to maintain them for a year when I go back in soon. I've never been successful at doing…
  • Since you like the Cinnamon stuff (me too) - might try Cascadian Farms Organic - Cinnamon Crunch - it still has 8g sugar, but not too bad overall.
  • Couldn't disagree more. First - how accurate do you really think ANYTHING that we log is? down to a calorie? 10 calories? 0.5%? 1%? Just how big is that "medium banana" anyway? And did a little bit of boiled egg get left in that shell when you peeled it? Lots of point of logging to get as close as possible. but the minute…
  • NIce! You completed your first 5K 2 days before I did my first 5K - and only now am I getting to doing a 10K/12K... Still not convinced I want to be bothered for the half... Though maybe I can call myself a runner now, I can't say that I've learned to love it yet. But sticking with it, and we'll see... I've yet to run the…
  • I did my first 5K exactly a month ago - age 44. Time was 26:44 - but I think that course was short - closer to just 3 miles, so it was probably closer to a 27:45 time. Ran a 4K race yesterday in 21:13, and like the above poster, ran 5 miles for first time in my life this morning, though my pace was slower and I'm sorer…
  • How old are you? 44 - 6'4" How much have you lost? 30lbs (35lbs at lowest) How long did it take you to lose the weight (and/or issues/attitudes that kept you overweight/obese)? Started labor day 2011 on South Beach diet and keeping food journal (originally on loseit.com and more recently on MFP). Lost 35lbs by Feb 2012 How…
  • Fat Tire... though wish that they'd bring back the Skinny Dip... loved that one for slightly lighter summer seasonal...
