Right now I'm planning on these but I'm trying to find a 10 or 15k in late Dec/early Jan. Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving (11/22) Nacogdoches, TX Jingle Bell 5k (12/1) Nacogdoches, TX Rhythm and Blues Half Marathon (2/10/13) Houston, TX

My goals are a heck of a lot different but I'm 24, single, with no kids and work and go to school full time as well so feel free to add me if you'd like :)

Start out with some interval training, walk/run, and then gradually increase the amount of time running. Don't push yourself too much and listen to your body because you don't want to risk injuring yourself with a race so soon. Also, lots of people walk or walk/run 5k's so don't at all feel bad if you don't run the entire…

I'm from the greater Houston area originally but living in East Texas now. I am training for my first half marathon in Houston on Feb. 10, 2013. It's the rhythm and blues half. If anybody else is planning on doing it, please let me know! I'm just shooting for completion but I can't wait.…

Feel free to add me :)

Such a wonderful story and amazing transformation! :smile:

I'm 24! Anybody who wants to, feel free to add me. :smile:

Join Lighten up East Texas! It is a regional weight loss challenge in which 11 surrounding counties compete to lose weight and improve the health of their communities. It will go from Nov 3- May 4.…

If you don't mind running on a track at least for this time of year, you should check with local middle/high schools or a college. I run at a football stadium at night and the lights are on and other people are always out there as well. I've gone to high school tracks before too. The scenery isn't as nice and your are just…

That is fantastic! Welcome to running! You are indeed a runner. I just ran my first 5k and it was such an awesome experience. I am training for a half marathon in February. I'm up to about 6 miles and every little bit further is such an awesome feat and offers a wonderful high! lol Best of luck with it all.

Single and ready to mingle! :tongue:

Check out youtube for exercises. All you really need is your own body. I just did a yoga video I found on there. If you are ever interested in workout videos or light weights or other exercise accessories, there is always tons of that stuff at thrift stores. If you take time to really plan out your meals you can put…

I have a juicer but I hate the clean-up that comes with this one in particular. Can anybody recommend one with easy cleanup? I'd like to juice regularly but not with the one I currently have. It's a pain!

I don't either... :(

Bump. Yum!

This is brilliant!

Bump for later!

I used to play college basketball but when I stopped that's when I gained TONS of weight!

I noticed since I've mostly given up dairy that I'm not getting enough calcium so I've just started taking that. I'm not reaching my potassium either but I'm really trying hard to get that through food as much as I can. Multi vitamin and B-12 as well. Eventually i'd like to get my diet to where it gives me most of what I…

You look fantastic!

As a 2nd year PhD student I can totally appreciate this!

^ This!

Deep East Texas here and I feel one coming on as well :(

Uh oh...

I really need to hear all this. I'm lactose intolerant and going to a gastroenterologist soon, probably to find out I have a gluten intolerance as well.

Fantastic!!! :D

Please do applied behavior analysis for developmental disabilities! This is my passion.
