I thought this was a weight loss/fitness website???

I have to sheepishly admit that I still smoke.....and run!! I have smoked for 18 years but it does not seem to hinder my running or breathing while I run. I have just completed my personal best time for a half marathon in 1:55:21. Sometimes I wonder if I would be faster without smoking but I realize that for me I have to…

Always go by weight (when possible).....I found the exact same thing...1 cup of my breakfast cereal is WAY over the 54g they claim it should be.

Cheese is one of the things I refuse to give up eating!! I eat it everyday and work it into my meal plans. Make sure you weigh your portion sizes to keep from going overboard!!

I am 5'8.5" and currently weigh in around 123 lb....however I am very small boned! I would not want to be any lower but I like to keep it under 132lbs

Hello!! When I started this journey I was 5'8" and 166.2 lbs.....I currently sit at 122lbs!! I also have got the "running bug" and recently completed my first half marathon...set to do another in a couple of weeks (I will also brag that my time was 1:58:48!!!) Feel free to add me and read my blogs!! Good luck and keep…

I am 5'8" and was 165 lbs in a US size 12

I get that all the time from my parents!! I just let them know I am fine....and sometimes I eat the pie/cake when they offer just to shut them up!!

5k (3miles) in 25min 00sec. That is my best time!! Approx 8 min 30sec/mile.

From the looks of your pics....perhaps you don't really need to lose those 3 pounds....just saying!

I have been training for a half (I run it next weekend) and I have been counting calories for over 7 months now. That being said....I have also been on maintenance for over 3 months. I eat about 1700 calories per day...feel great and ran a practice half marathon last week (only I did 14 miles instead of 13)!! I ran the…

I have been on maintenance for over 4 months and still log everyday. I still weigh and measure my food as well.....it has become a habit!

I drink coffee EVERYDAY!! In fact I drink mulptile cups!! Once I have my first 2 cups I won't have another until I drink at least 2 glasses of water so my water intake is still good!! It has not hampered my weight loss at all.....in fact I read somewhere that it can actually help you lose weight. I could be wrong about…

Cookies..cookies...cookies!! They are my kryponite!!

Oooh...skinny cow caramel and vanilla cones (it is a drumstick)!! And if you need to have a "chip fix" try Chee Cha Puffs (my favorite are hickory bacon and dill pickle)-they are 90 calories for 20grams-a pretty good amount!! Or you could eat the whole bag for 360 calories (it has been known to happen sometimes)!!

I have been on maintenance for almost 4 months and I still weigh everything!! I will weigh before I measure e.g. instead of 1 cup of cereal I prefer to measure out the 54 grams (it is way more accurate). My family also finds me crazy for it but I WILL NOT go back to how I looked before and if this is my tool to do it then…

I bring the "Eating Right Turkey Burgers" 120 calories/patty and 2 gr fat. I buy them at Safeway. So even with Miracle Whip, the bun and cheese it is only approx 340 calories and under 6gr fat. LOVE LOVE THEM!! Way better for you than the regular burger. Also try Cheddar Turkey Smokies (can't remember the brand). They are…

5'8" 123 lbs Size Small in tops Size 4 in pants

Crazy awesome!! You look fabulous!! Keep up the hard work and you will get to where you want to be!!

I have TERRIBLE stretch marks and loose skin on my stomach from having two kids (first one was over 10 1/2 lbs at birth). Since I have reached maintenance the skin is starting to tighten up a little over time. I know I will never have the look of a six pack (they probably are there but you just can't see them from the…

I never count the little things that are just part of my day....I only count it if I actually sweat for more than 20 minutes (and mean REALLY sweat)!! I have reached my goal weight and even got lower than that number and have kept it off for 3 months now. Keep focused and be honest with your exercise and food and you will…

CP Wonton Soups-1 bowl is approx 120 calories (they are in the frozen section) Steinfeld's Petit Kosher Dills-2 jars for around $6

It happens...I too binge eat....last night 1:30 am I sat down with 10 (Yes 10!!) peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and the jug of milk (no glass...right out of the jug) and ate til I was sick.....but this morning I got up did an exercise class for an hour and then ran for 25 minutes at the gym!! Guilt makes for a great…

I reached maintenance 3 months ago and I still get great support!! This is the longest I have ever maintained my goal weight and I don't see that going to change!!

I usually go to the gym as once I am there I am more apt to have a great workout. I do own a treadmill and it does get used once in a while (winter if the roads are bad for driving or if there is just NO time to go to the gym but I have time for a quick 30 min run). I do not regret buying it.....I would also love free…

I did that ONCE!! Threw up in the bushes at the restaurant....I think my body just said, "Nope...none of that anymore!!"

A number of years back I did WW and did really well....lost over 50 lbs....however I feel that they lack in the maintenance department. I don't want to carry a pointsfinder in my purse forever to find out how many points everything is. Needless to say I put the weight back on. Since I joined MFP I find maintenance so much…

T for Taryn

I started out quite slow and now I am an average runner....I worked up to it....10k (57 min) and half marathon (2 hrs 7 min).

Truly, Truly amazing!! 10 more pounds....easy as pie (pun intended)LOL....you can do it!!
