I am probably going to take the 10k at a slower pace. I am going to get there on Wednesday and I know my legs are going to be tired! I need to save as much energy as I can for the half. this is my first half marathon. :)

Agreed! Especially if they are fresh picked by you. I go to a local orchard by my house around this time of the year and pick my own.

Congratulations!! That is such wonderful accomplishment and you did it all in one year. Amazing. You look great! I always look at the success stories for motivation. :) Thanks for sharing your story!

From Chicago! :)

Yes. That pill gave me crazy cravings as well! It increased my appetite so much!

I was on Loestrin 24 fe, gained a ton of weight... lost it. They recently ceased manufacture of that brand. I'm now taking Minastrin 24 fe. It has been a week and a half and I already gained 5 lbs. back and am retaining tons of water :( So don't take take that one!

I am now up to 24 pounds = a 3-gallon tub of super-premium ice cream :)

Haha! Its good you found it. I may have to use them as my thinspirations as well.

Thank you for posting this topic! I am 5'5" and I am also stuck at 144 lbs. It is so frustrating! I am excited to see everyone's results! :)

OMG all of that food looks so so so good! I am jealous! :)

I guessed I was 2.5% smaller than I really am! Woops! Well I guess I'm a little over confident. :S

I am so trying this out when I get home!

Hmmm no I can't say I am into science and math. I'm a graphic designer and fine artist. I'm usually quite messy and I procrastinate. I think I just like the app for its convienence. I don't really look at the graphs or anything. I just like the social aspect of the website and the fact that logging my calories gets me…

Hi! I have been on MFP for about a year now. I am always looking for more friends. :) Feel free to add me!

I don't think that it is an insult, but my mom will often say "Why are you so obsessed with the calories in everything? I think you are too obsessed with your weight. You shouldn't have to be worried about every bite of food." But then she will complain to me that she isn't losing. :P

Also not new. I have been on here a year, but always looking for new friends! Add me if you like! :)

I only count vigorous housework. If I end up sweating then I log it.

Hi! I am also not new. I have been on here for about a year now. However, I'm always looking for new friends! :)

I have lost: 2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs & 16 pounds = a sperm whale's brain :P

Always nice to have more friends!! :D

Welcome to MFP! I am a doctor who fan too! :) Add me if you like!

Feel free to add me too! I joined many many months ago and just feel as though half of my friends have become inactive or have given up even though I encourage them online and in person. I would like to know more people who are active on MFP.

Well, I used a dance arcade game (Pump it Up) for 6 months, one - two hours 3 days a week on a difficulty level of 10 - 15 without changing my diet and I lost 7 lbs. Then I joined MFP and dieted while still using the dance game for 3 months and lost 11 lbs. So as long as you are really pushing yourself while dancing I…
