I just hopped on to this board to write the same thing! Except, bad news, I'm almost a year PP. Weight was dropping like crazy until the last couple weeks or so. I am 9 pounds away from my "normal" weight and I feel like the 500 BFing calories just isn't cutting it anymore. I have heard about the holding on to the last 10…

Thanks guys!

Me too!

Yes I am, in maintenance now, though I still want to lose a few more lbs. I lost almost 20 in about 4 months. I'm officially sick of the food, but as a vegetarian I didn't have that many choices to begin with. Except breakfast-LOVE the breakfasts!!

Thanks for all the great suggestions, runners :happy: You've inspired me to do a wee run tonight--forgot to mention that I've been having achilles pain after long runs but I'll worry about that AFTER the race. Even if I have to ride a scooter around the parks (j/k)

I'm going at the end of Sept for the Tower of Terror race and staying a few extra days. Wondering why I didn't get the dining plan for free? We are staying on property for 5 nights--does anyone know if that qualifies? That said, I don't really want it since their only vegetarian options are veggie burgers and FRIES!…

They look yummy! Have you put the recipe in MFP to find out calories, etc?

Definitely try it and let us know how it comes out. And it's totally called Jell-O :tongue: or gelatin I guess if you don't want to use a brand name...

How about a broccoli and cheese stuffed baked potato?

Not too far from my apt, will try to make it!

always hated running too, then something got into me and I signed up for a half marathon! Have since done Disney Princess Half and doing Tower of Terror THIS MONTH! Can't wait! My best advice is to start slow, def do the walk/jog thing, sometimes I still need to do that just depending on weather, my mood, energy, humidity,…

thanks all! Last time I felt like I couldn't do as much as the lighter ladies, but I will definitely work on STRENGTH for the next 3 weeks...should be doing that anyway but it always slips off my exercise to-do list...

Um, can I HIRE you?? Meal delivery service?? :flowerforyou:

Thanks everyone! I forgot to mention I don't eat meat...makes things a little more difficult. I used to be vegetarian but am now eating seafood (not fish though), which I guess opens a few more doors.

Did you have regular cotton shirts made or wicking ones? I'm leaning towards wicking material since it's 10 (long) miles.

Oh really good idea, I love it! A character running...hmm...

NYC was full when I went to sign up but considering doing one in another city-please tell us how it is and how hard it is to get the color out of your hair/clothes!

Welcome back! Adding you...

Stay off it and get it checked out. Even a sprain will sideline you for 2 months :sad: more if you don't take care of it.

Obviously by posting this question here on MFP most people are going to say that this is all they use. I joined MFP years ago (2009 does my profile say?) and tried to "just" eat 1200 calories and exercise. I got nowhere. I've been on Jenny Craig for 4 months and have lost 20 pounds. I only have 8-10 more before I reach my…

Thanks everyone! I think it is a combo of him not bothering to clean it after use and using marinades/oils. Last night I just cleaned it myself, since it bothers me I figure I can be the one to try to do something about it.

I'm sure it won't take you that long. I trained as best I could and finished around 2:30...my friends who don't train AT ALL (and are therefore insane but that's another story) usually finish around 3:30. Too early to project but I'd put money on you finishing between 2:45-3:15 :drinker:

Publix will have everything you need! I actually miss it now that I'm back up north. If it has a "Greenwise" section, even better since that'll be more organic stuff, etc. Breakstones makes these cottage cheese + fruit "pots" (you'd call them) which would be easy to eat on the go. Maybe bring some plastic cutlery with you…

Before my first half I also read that smiling when the going gets tough will actually "fool" your body a little to think you are really enjoying yourself. So don't just smile when you cross the finish line (if you're like me you'll probably cry too) but smile throughout! :happy:

I swear my body goes on STRIKE at 140. I've gone from 157 to 137 since April (I'm 5'4") but a few have creeped back on and I'm smack dab at 140. How do I get it through to my body that 130 would be a much better place? Anyone in the same boat please add me!

Congrats! I've done 5 half marathons but would like to get much faster. I'm doing a ten miler in Disney in Oct and also using Jeff Galloway.

Weigh and log every day, but I turned off notifications so my roller coaster wouldn't show up in my feed :)

Truly inspiring! Great work!!

That is soooo awesome and I love how they are almost identical poses, etc. You both have changed this year, but your change is almost unbelievable. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Definitely going to try the vinegar thing, thanks everyone!
