I tried...

Ran about 13.6 miles outside in the rain. :) Big burn day for me!

Way to go! I have my first half marathon in just under 3 weeks! I'm so excited and nervous too!

When I was about 6 years old my family had a small farm. We all had outside chores to do before dinner time. One day I was the first one done with my chores so I went in the house and I was STARVING! I looked in the fridge for a snack and there, before my very eyes was...a tub of vanilla frosting! (Angelic music plays) I…

I have splurge days instead of cheat days and I normally have them just on special occasions. I normally don't do too bad on those days but last Sunday was crazy! I ate more than I have in one day the entire time that I have been on here. But I almost never go over and I got a workout in and got over it. I am not super…

I agree, med issue means go to a med pro not just a running store.

What motivates me to exercise? Being awesome! JK but I really do feel way more awesome after a great run or killer workout!

Thanks for sharing this! Well written and very valuable lesson.

Fill up a kiddie pool with it and dive in, put some in a large zip lock bag, place inside a pinata and give somebody an awesome surprise, fill water balloons up with it and have a food fight. :)

Same here!!! I don't even want them in my house! Ick!

I like the compression type sports bras. They work really well even if they are a little hard to wrestle into.

Congrats and you did a great job! Way to go!

You look like a new person and I totally agree about the way better looking Kristen Stewart thing!

Good luck to you! Try out different things until you find something that you really love. Go on a bike ride, shoot hoops, play football with friends, just move your body! You've got this!

Thank you for sharing this!

I run three days a week most weeks and am planning on doing my first half marathon the 18th of next month! You can run "with" me if you want and add me if you'd like. I'm doing 30 minutes of interval work tomorrow with a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down. :)

Keep it up girl! You are doing awesome, my friend!

Because of low thyroid function, I can't eat a lot of soy so tofu is out but I eat lots of beans and nuts. I still eat meat and some dairy but I'm down to one meal with meat and one with a little cheese most days. I'm phasing out the animal protein even slower than you are because of my family though. There is a great cook…

Great job! What a journey!

Thanks for giving back to the MFP community! It's great to have people to go to with our quirks and questions. :)

Turkey bacon tastes like spam to me.

A new one for my running playlist, I think! Thanks!

You just need your shoes to be a little roomy in the toe box. When I first started running I was wearing my running shoes that I used for the gym before I was pregnant with my first child...this was two children later. They felt fine when I was walking but I bruised them really bad running. Get good shoes and it's best if…

Way to go! You'll do great!

What about swimming after the first couple weeks? Good luck with it all. :)

Great job, Scott! You are such an inspirational person and I'm rooting for you every day! :heart: Leah

One other thing that may be a factor is how were your clothes really fitting you before you started losing weight? I know for me I will wear the same clothes until they are just way too tight when I'm gaining weight (you know, cause I'm going to start loosing it soon) and then don't want to get new clothes when I'm losing…

I kinda like spiders...:smile:

If you don't have a hrm then what I have been told in the past (as I push around a double stroller) is to pay attention to how you feel when you are just walking with the stroller and then go for a walk without it and walk at a faster pace until you feel the same level of exertion and then log your walking pace with the…

Do'n great! Way to go!
