Wow! Awesome job ladies! I have a way to go (23lb to get to prepregnancy weight). I think I've finally accepted that it's not going to "fall off" for me and get more serious about working out. Cheers to you!

Hi ladies, I was hoping I could join your group. I've previously been a very dedicated MFPer and ran/do bootcamp as my main workouts. Since getting pregnant I was pretty sick but I think I've finally turned the corner! I'm ready to get back to logging, working out, and gaining slow and steady weight for the baby. I look…

Go to a running speciality store... they assess your foot and gait so you get a perfect shoe to run in. They are a bit more expensive, but being pain free is worth it to me. My favorite are Asics.

Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel bread with any natural nut butter (almond, cashew, peanut) Vanilla Greek yogurt with museli Banana's and apples Dole's fruit cups with 100% fruit juice Popcorn Beef Jerky Carrots and hummus ...now I'm hungry :)

I just ran my first one this weekend! Like the previous posts, I'd suggest a running plan, I used runnersworld.com. Check your races elevation, I was sorta shocked with how many hills mine had and wish I had worked on that a bit more. Also, some runners suggest against it, but 2 weeks before my race I ran a trial 13.1, so…

Awesome job, I love when clothes make me feel good, instead of vice versa! Keep it up! :)

That is ahhhhhmaaaaaaaaazing! A million congrats!!

Teddy the German Shorthaired Pointer, Bandit my boxer, and Brady the most recent addition is a mutt... I love them so much even though it gets a bit crazy at times...

I have a heart rate monitor and the machines normally give me waaaay too much of a calorie burn... about 100-200 more calories then my HRM.

Great blog about weight not being the only way to judge your loss... http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3926473&SPShared=TRUE

Good luck on your journey! One of my favorite quotes that helps me through this is "If success is an option, why choose failure" Jillian Michaels... You can do it!!

I've been doing a good chunk of my cooking off the biggest loser and clean eating recipe books... and so far everything has been deeeeelish!

Vanilla greek yogurt with museli... yum! or ezekiel bread with almond butter... both are my staples.

Have you ladies try mapmyrun.com? You can save your workouts and I think it's fab!

Grew up in Western MA and went to school at UMD! Now living in Georgia... when ever the southerns call me a "Yankee" I say "No, I'm a Red Sox!" And I laugh at my own joke...

You look sooooo good!!! Keep up the AMAZING work!

Austin Powers Goldmember... I can recite the whole movie but it still cracks me up!

Any type of dessert... and I mean any! I don't keep anything in my house that would be a trigger food... and I only buy snacks for my husband that I don't like.

Coffee or warmed prune juice

You know I am too!!! 10K to ring in the new year!

This is my favorite time of the year!! hahahaha.... I'm team Ada all the way, but really want Patrick to win for his family and those cute little boys... Ada's so nice she'd probably give him some of the money, just like the car!

I'm in too, mine will have to be Christmas night as I'm on call for work all day... I think we should plan for a New Years Day run also!

sounds deeeelish!

You can do it! It seems like your super busy, so maybe try spliting up your exercise throughout the day? 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there... and if there still isn't enough time in the day for that just work on logging your food. One step at a time... :)

Trying weighing yourself less frequently... they say you should weigh only once a week (but who has that kind of self control hahaha)... maybe every third day or so. Your body can fluctuate due to hormones, stress, sodium among other things. So don't let the scale get you down, you said you've been under your goals and…

Congrats to you!

66 :)

I hve the Polar F6, got it off ebay for $60 and it's amazing!! No more guess work! Love, love, LOVE IT!

Cooooooooooongrats!!!

Best of luck with your journey! I <3 this site :)
