That is just awesome and you look fabulous!!

I absolutely ditto what she said!! I have never received compliments about how I look until I started losing weight. It is so nice to hear people say nice things about me. That is what keeps you going. It'll happen. One day at a time. Can you afford a personal trainer? I see that a lot of trainers are now doing small…

Why would you do that?

I add 1/4 cup blueberries and some grape nuts (for crunchiness). Also add 1 packet of sweetner.

Wow - congratuations! You look great!

My story is so similar to yours it's scary. I had previously ran 3 half marathons, all awful times. I convinced myself I could do it although I knew I wasn't really ready. I ran all 3 of them, did terrible times but then in July of this year, I had had it. I was 30 pounds overweight, drank a lot of wine, felt sluggish,…

you need to eat to lose weight!! Watch your sugar, too.

what does "bump" mean?

Wow - way to go. Such an accomplishment! I had run 3 previous half marathons before I got serious about losing weight and MFP. I have had a personal trainer for the past 3 1/2 months and lost close to 25 pounds. I am in the best shape I've been in for as long as I can remember. Last month, I ran my fourth marathon and…

I did my first half marathon a few years back and the most we ever ran during training was 8 miles. After 8 miles, it's a mental thing. You have come that far, mile-wise, that you will finish - no doubt!! Good luck!!

Start running! It'll get you out of your house and away from your mom! Put on some really motivating music and go for it. I NEVER thought I would say I like running but I am doing my 4th half marathon Saturday and can honestly say I am looking forward to it!! You burn a ton of calories and it is probably the most…

Yes - you do wear a chest strap but I don't even know it's on.

I also use the Polar one and like it.

You might not be eating enough!

well, I guess we can always use a friend. This is a great way to lose weight. When I track, I lose. Lost, almost immediately, (well like 3 weeks), 10 lbs. I find that when I get lazy and don't track my calories, that is when I gain. So, good luck! I am wating to get a smart phone so I can put the app on my phone! I had a…

I agree - I don't think she was looking to be judgemental - just had a pet peeve to get off her chest. Some people just like to stir the pot.

that is great!! Comes out to about 1 lb. a week, right? I always say - "you didn't put it on overnight so it's not coming off overnight." Slow and steady....

..I assume you listen to music or watch TV on the treadmill? That really helps cuz it's so BORING!!

We all need support so I will be there for you! I am so excited about this b/c the lightbulb has finally gone off for me that you shouldn't be starving yourself and need to eat the right amount of calories per day. I have already lost 5 lbs since I started this 6 days ago. I am also hypothyroid so by not eating right and…

I have been doing it for about 9 months and just love it!! We haven't done the same WOD (Workout of the Day) twice and I have always been able to finish the WOD. I am usually the oldest one in the group (52) but you scale each workout to suite what you can do (if you can't do pull ups - which most of us can't, you use a…

if you type in "Aerobic, high impact" for 45 minutes, you burn 436 calories. I think that is pretty accurate.

I was wondering the same thing. I searched the "Exercise" tab and found "aerobic, high impact" and put in 45 minutes and it burned 436 calories. I don't know if that is a true amount of calories burned. I will ask our coach tonight if she thinks that is realistic.

I LOVE CROSSFIT!!!

That would probably be the best to describe it. Thank you!

I do CrossFit and had the same feeling - scared me to death!! Start out with the lowest height (mine was 16") and stand as close as you can - I know that doesn't seem to make sense - but it works. I had the same feeling in my stomach - and yes, it's a mental thing - but once you do it once, it really helps and gives you…
