My goal next year is to hike down the north rim of the Grand Canyon and up the south rim.

You look great, that's what determination can do!

I've stopped baking. I love baking, it's a stress reliever. But I'm the one who can't stop at one cookie or one piece of cake. So I haven't baked anything. :(

I would love to be there for that weekend. Right now, it's just a thought.

This one is on my calendar! I'll be there, this is for me and I want it bad.

I'm so jealous. My brother and I were going to sign up, that would have been my first 5K. Unfortunately, I ended up with Plantars Fascitis and the put an end to my running. My foot has healed and I am finishing WK7 of C25K. My next goal is Epcot in the fall. I can't wait to hear about your race.

My Polar FT4 arrived Weds. I used it Thurs and Fri and it works great. I was using several other calculators to figure my calories burned and it was off by 55 and 80 respectivly. I'm more fit then I thought now to have my body lose it's fluff so I look fit! I wish I had bought mine sooner, I would be much farther along on…

Fabulous!! You've done great. I want that same feeling, I'm hoping for that on Weds. In the mean time you enough that success and the rest of your journey!

On Sat's I use my crockpot, then I have food for the week. I'm a vegetarian, but you can certainly put chicken or anything else in these recipies. Black Beans and Rice 1 can rinsed black beans, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups water, 1 can hatch chopped green chilis, mexican seasoning of choice and 2 cups chopped tomato's (you can…

On Sat's I use my crockpot. Black Beans and Rice 1 can rinsed black beans, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups water, 1 can hatch chopped green chilis, mexican seasoning of choice and 2 cups chopped tomato's (you can use that canned ones.) Mix it all together and cook on low about 3 hours depending on your crock pot. Mock Chicken…

You are funny!

The only way I was able to stop was cold turkey and it wasn't pretty. I got a little grouchy! I quit for Lent one year and I do occasionally have one here or there, but I usually chose water now.

Voodoo donuts, possibly the best donuts in the world!

If there is plenty of ice, it will keep for the day or two that it's in there. You could always make up burgers and freeze them, cook them the second day. Lunch is usually sandwiches and chips with fruit. I usually buy stuff that I don't normally have at home to make it a little more festive.

I'm in!

I grew up in IL and IN where Mac and Cheese was an entree. I've lived in Alabama for the last 25 years and here, Mac and Cheese is considered a vegetable. I do love Fried Green Tomatoes and grits!

You may need to slow down your running speed. Your lungs will get stronger and then you won't have the breathing problem. I am short and was running at 4.5 but it felt like knives in my lungs. I then dialed it back to 4.0 for week 4, 4.1 for wk 5, 4.2 for wk 6 and I am know at 4.3 for wk 7. The stabbing feeling is gone and…

I think you should probably start with a realistic speed and you won't fall off. You just haven't really done it and that makes you nervous. I started walking, increased my speed and then moved to incline intervals. Now I'm starting week 7 of C25K and have never fallen. I will admit that I'm afraid to run outside because…

Under Apps, then right side of the screen to Weight Loss Tickers.

I saw a recipie on another message board for curry in a rice cooker. Since I don't own a rice cooker I thought I'd try it in my slow cooker. Curry 1 cup brown rice 3 cups water 1 cup frozen peas and carrots 1 can chickpeas (I used 2 Gardein chic cutlets) 2 TBS of curry or to taste 1/8 cup of raisins (I used 1/4 cups and I…

I agree with you, I don't usually think about it until I see myself in a picture and then I'm so disgusted with looking that way. My boyfriend has a picture of my daughter and I on the beach (winter) and all I can see is how fat I am. It's his favorite picture; weird.

I was there over New Year's and all that walking made me hungry, so when the others were snacking on whatever, I was eatin Nature Valley Protein dark chocolate and peanut butter bars. I sampled the stuff the others snacked on and had a big salad for lunch. They have a lot of choices even in the Magic Kindgom. I had a great…

I agree, I read through the whole thing as well and most of them have put some weight back on but are living active healthy lives.

Since you can run 5 minutes straight, if it were me staring over, I would start on Wk 4. 5 minute warmup, 3 min run 90 second walk 5 min run; repeat. If it seems too easy you could always speed up. I'm in week 5 and today was two 8 minute runs. I did it with little effort; I'm scared and excited about the 20 minute run on…

1. lbkveg 2. 11 (at 201) 3. Still losing headed for 122 4. Take your measurements and remeasure yourself once a month. I must have the world's slowest metabolism. I've been at this since July and have gone from 212 to 201. However, I have gone from busting out of size 18 to size 14. So the exercise and eating right is…

Funny, I must burn a few by spending too much time on this site!

You run 3 times a week, I run on Sun/Tues/Thurs. That's why there are only 3 days in the program.

The scale isn't moving so this morning I tried on a sundress that was my daughter's, it is comfortable enough around the stomach but the top is now too big. So good and bad, but I have 2 more dresses to go from her closet.

Great NSV!!

Really great accomplishment, you look great!
