I've also heard that if you snack on some 100% whole wheat or whole grain bread and dip it in olive oil, it helps fill you up so you aren't so tempted, espically when it's dessert time. But I haven't found an olive oil that I like by itself.

Thanks everyone, but I was mistaken on my PR. I still got a new PR, but it was only about 11 seconds, don't know what I was thinking! Thanks for all the input!

LMAO!! Y'all had me rolling on the. Floor!! Maybe that's why I had more views then I ever thought I would get. Thanks for the congrats!

Sounds wonderful to me!

I love your positive attitude! You did great! My average is about 9:30-10 min miles. My one mile PR is 9:28. I'm fairly new to running but have done 3 5k's since April, I'm addicted!

Welcome! you will love it here!

I have had great success! 42 pounds since January, and only 11 left (the hardest part!) Welcome to the site, the people are amazing, helpful, and inspiring!

Welcome! It really helps to have a spouse taking the journey with you. My husband and I started in January and I have lost 42 and he has hit 91. Add me as a friend if you'd like. This site is great and the support from people are amazing!

When I started running I was 203, in January. I don't do C25K, but I did my own program. I started walking a mile then slowly built myself up to running a little bit more of the mile than the next time. I read a lot of running books and have learned a lot. Once you can run a mile without walking, then you slowly increase…

that is my favorite soup and sald too! But how did you not eat a single breadstick?

it may be an obsession, but it's a good one. I still eat some of the things that i love, like pizza. My stomach has shrunk and doesn't require a whole pizza anymore, I'm satisfied with just 2 slices. I have turned so many friends and co workers onto this site and they have all done so well. If you stick with it, it becomes…

never mind i found it

welcome to the site, you will find a lot of help, motivation, and great people here. I'm going to add you as a friend.

Well, I was gonna start out by saying that as I post this I'm wearing my Cowboys jersey, but just pretend I'm not :) we go to all the local high school football games, die hard Longhorns fans and I'm a BOYS fan while my husband is a Texans fan. We are also in a fantasy league of friends of ours. We have been watching…

for a post run I drink 1 cup of chocolate milk. I have read in several different magazines and online articles that it is very good for you.

I only use NIke+ but really want to look into a Garmin

amen!!!

Welcome, I have never deprived myself and have lost 42 pounds since January. I love pizza, buffalo wings, it's more about portion control than not eating certain foods. I wish you lots of luck. Add me as a friend if you'd like.

good for you, it does sound very scary, i don't see how people think it's the healthy way to lose weight

Personally, I say save your money. I know of people doing it as well, but in all reality, there is no "magic pill" to lose weight. I see you have already lost 11 pounds, I say be patient and let the healthy eating, portion control, and exercise take its course. Don't rush it, it will come off. I have lost 42 pounds since…

Calorie counting absolutely works! There is no "magic pill", just eating the right foods, the right portions and exercise will help you. I've lost 42 pounds (11 more till my goal weight) and my husband has lost 90 (10 more till goal weight). This site is wonderful!

i've been wanting to get the nike lunarglide+ I don't have them yet, but just a suggestion, they are very light weight and look awesome!

woo hoo, 54 days till my birthday then! I'm bumping this site, because since i'm smaller and my husband has lost almost 90 pounds, I'd like to look into hosting a Halloween party, I'd like to hear some suggestions also.

oh, and taught him colors.

I just picked up my son from his first day of pre-k and he had a blast. I just did some counting and the alphabet with him for the past few months. Since he is mixed with Mexican, we do some words and counting in spanish as well. As far as the first day goes, I just kept sounding excited and told him he is a big boy and…

chocolate milk

if you eat the calories you burned then why bother working out? if you burn 500 calories, and eat an extra 500 calories they cancel themselves out. I never eat my exercise calories, and have lost 40 pounds, so I must be doing something right. There is always a lot of debate about this topic, but to me it makes absolutely…

all my stuff is the old 80's hair bands, ie: poison, quiet riot, def leppard, motley crue, cinderella. I love it!!

i used to hate running, but once I started working toward a goal of running in races, that's what motivated me. I didn't want to be the last one coming in at a 5k. The more I run, the more I love it, and the more races I want to participate in.

I do all my cooking from sparkrecipe.com I have never had a bad recipe from there and kids have even ate it everytime
