MS Girl here! There are also a few local running clubs around!

After MUCH research, ended up getting the Fitbit Force. It has been voluntarily recalled due to reported skin irritation, but I haven't had any so I will not be not returning mine because I really like it! So, I am hoping they resolve that issue and bring this back to the market. For me it was between the Force and the…

To Kevalicious99: Yes, I understand that the Force uses calculations, but... It bases the calculations on the activity/movement measured. For example, it calculates inactive time (e.g. sleep) using a lower number and active minutes (e.g. walking/running) using a higher number. So, I am still wondering how accurate it is…

I have been in maintenance for about the last year + and I thought I had stopped snoring completely. However, my DH informed me that I was snoring night before last! LOL My allergies have been bad so thinking this must be the culprit! So, maybe not completely but a darn sight better than before.

I LOVE your idea!!!! I'll have to remember that one!!! Although I am buff by no stretch so hats off to you for looking like you have worked hard and your work shows!!!! My fiance thinks I'm hot; that's all I care about....

I think this is a great topic and I think the OP is doing it the right way. As a person who formerly had a lifetime weight problem, I definitely want to spare my children the same. My oldest child currently has a weight problem and I am trying to do the same as the OP and teach him better choices, appropriate portions, and…
-
Absolutely! I didn't start the program until I was almost 42 and would highly recommend it for anyone of any age!! It paces you slowly so it is completely doable. Now, I haven't lost weight with the running but I am maintaining. Better than that, though, I definitely feel like I am in better shape both from a…

Egg white omelette w/ 2 egg whites; 1 slice Am cheese; 3 slices turkey; 1/4-1/2 c caramelized onions; sprinkled with some cajun seasoning (Tony's); and sometimes with a little fresh spinach tossed in... YUM-O

Old?! No way! LIfe is really much better over 40 in my case! I was shocked when I realized that I am actually at middle age!! ROFL I thought, how can that be, I still feel so young!! LOL So, I decided that, age is just the number of years you have lived, which may show in your body, but LIVING is all in the attitude!…

I really believe this is one of those areas where everyone's body is different and the impact to you will depend on how well YOUR body processes WHAT you are eating as well as how many calories. I have PCOS, which is pretty much under control, but I still do not effectively process refined sugars (fruit seems to be fine in…

^^This^^ is me too!!!!

As much as I love KK donuts, I just can't do it. I'd get soo sick I would never want a donut again! LOL It's not worth it... hahaha Ya'll have fun though!

Because I completed the C25K program and just backslid and didn't run for too long, i am no longer counting weeks/days, but completed 2 miles running and half a mile walking today. Much better than Monday. Hoping I get back to 5k soon!
-
Awesome results! Wishing I could get rid of my baby tummy like you did!! Great job! Congrats and keep on going, you are rocking it!
-
Awesome! I'm buying that program now! I kept saying I wanted to but so busy and just haven't gotten off my keester! Need some motivation and your results are a GREAT one!!!
-
Awesome story! I've been wanting to try Insanity, but have thought it might be a little above my level, but you are convincing me to try it anyway!!!

Cutting 6 minutes off your time = FANTASTIC!!!!! You're making me feel like a total slacker here! LOL :laugh:
-
I love this thread!! I think it is a great tool for keeping yourself accountable... I can see this one as having several iterations... LOL So, for my daily check in I'm going to talk about yesterday. I had actually completed the C25K program but I have a very hectic life and have not been consistent in my running ~ work in…
-
Absolutely! I purchased a 3 cd set, which I put on my sony running mp3, that consists of three one-hour cds, each with the same bpm on that cd. Each cd has a little higher bpm (I'll try to edit later when I can pose the title...). I find that having a similar bpm enables me to get in a good rhythm and the running is much…

If you are addicted to your scales and the thought of not weighing more frequently freaks you out or you are just tired of feeling like a slave to your scale... Here's a little tip from some PhDs regarding our love/hate relationship with our scales. If you are addicted to your scale and are compelled to weigh daily…

I LOVE Unjury protein. Not good in heated situations, but tastes great and mixes well.

^^This^^ is ABSOLUTELY true! I have heard many times that his/her drive and feelings of being sexy increased substantially when they lost the excess lbs and got fit! Whether it is from your internal health or your mental attitude, I cannot say, but I concur!!! ;o)
-
Can only partly agree with this one. I agree that life is better when you keep yourself up and LIVE it!!; has tremendous advantages!! However, I had disagree with it being difficult to find love when you are older. After divorce AND with 2 kids, I found a fantastic, sexy relationship at 42!! Age is only a number.... So,…

Thank you! Very good example~!

One thing I learned on this journey is to definitely not go by pant size... I was sooo aggravated! In one size pants, I found the gamut of fits from so large they fell off while buttoned to so tight I could not button them. I was shopping consignment so it was a big variety of brands. I was completely shocked at the…

I am the shopper and the cook, being a single mom, so my kids eat what I make. My oldest is very picky so sometimes it is a struggle. I make things they like (shells & cheese, hot dogs, etc.) on occasion and sometimes I pick up pizza. However, they know that when we are eating at home, they eat what they get or go hungry.…

I agree with everything (mostly) that has been said, but I break it down into simple things for myself. Weigh/Track, Log/Eat, Move/Exercise. Adjust as necessary to reach your goal(s). Don't be asleep at the wheel!!! Simpler said than done, but infinitely doable.... Remember, baby steps, and every step is a victory! You can…

Bwahahaha!! This thread is GREAT!!! Had me rolling! Thanks for the giggle. Yeah, I feel ya on the cougarish issue... LOL It is really weird to have guys young enough to be your child checking you out. Faintly Ew... LOL Have fun and don't overdose on coffee!!! haha
