This happened to me the other day, for the same reasons. I was on the indoor track, and I overheard two girls talking about me as they passed by. I laughed. It earned me a dirty look from the one girl, but I just smiled (though frankly, it probably was more of a grimace, because I'd been running for some time by then) at…

Run three days a week (MWF), and two strength sessions a week (TTH). I have access to the track and gym at the college, and I have an hour to kill before my husband picks me up from school, so I might as well make use of it.

Hello, I'm Victoria. I did C25K two years (I think) ago, and continued to run until winter hit, and found out that my asthma and running in the cold don't mix. Tried all sorts of things, including wearing a neck gaiter and ski mask, but I was having attacks. I tried switching to a treadmill in the winters, but man, that's…

I have the same size you started at. I can't wait for them to get smaller. The thought of being able to wear a button down shirt without massive gap is pretty exciting. Or a fitted shirt with a pattern. Can't wear those right now, 'cos the boobs just stretch the pattern right out. I AM worried about the 32D thing, though.…

Yup. Been playing since 1989 when I got a Nintendo for Christmas. I play RPGs (in depth ones and top down slash and hacks), strategy, city builders and the occasional MMO. I get bored of MMOs easily, though. PvE player, so there's never much end content for me. Favourite game of all time is Knights of the Old Republic. I…

Breakfast - Black Coffee, two mugs worth. Lunch - 12" pizza or meatball sub on whole wheat, with an individual bag of Original Miss Vickie's chips from Subway Dinner - Roast Beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans with butter, salad, roasted carrots and a half a bottle of wine. And seconds. Late Night Snack - Salsa,…

I'm on the eleventh day, so day 1 of workout 2. I've lost .5" off of my lower abdomen (aka "the pooch") and .3" off of my waist. I've lost 1.8 pounds. I'm 5'3" and 154.4 lbs. I've been taking one day off a week. I'm only eating at a 250 cal deficit and I tend to eat all of my exercise calories.

Gender: Female Age: 32 Height: 5'3 Starting weight: 164 lbs Current Weight: 155 lbs Goal weight: 130 lbs Activity level: Lightly Active Weight loss goal: .75 lbs/wk Calorie Goal (Net): 1550 Average Calorie intake: 1400 Exercise: circuit training, running Macros: 22% Protein / 50% Carb / 30% Fat

My husband and I work out together. We don't jog together (he has much longer legs than I do, so he feels like he's going at a crawl when he jogs with me), but other exercise we do together. At first, he didn't, but he was supportive, because he knew that losing weight made me happy, and he wants me to be happy. Then,…

Fabulous!

I'm an opera singer.

High school: 113 lbs Now, I'm 154 lbs. I'm 5'3"

It kept me running. I like running outside, just not on the dreadmill. It bores me to tears. All I do is stare at the counter. It kept me doing it. Now that the weather is consistently 50F and slightly over, my lungs can handle out of doors. Yay! It also forced me to get back into good habits after a long winter of…

Goals met. Plus the extra bonus of stretching for 5 minutes for five days.

Done my running and strength. I'll do the stretching. Burpees kill my knees.

My dress took almost SIX MONTHS to come in. It was made to order, so ask questions. I know some are saying that it only took a week for them, and that's great, but that's not the norm. I ordered my dress one size smaller than I needed. I ended up dropping 3 sizes, so I had to pay almost $500 in alterations (plus a French…

Just got back from the doctor's. I have a chest infection. Was told not to run until it clears, and got chided for running last week. Apparently I aggravated it. I won't be able to participate this week, sorry.

3 Runs: Done. 2 Strength Training Sessions: Done.

This needs to read 2 Pilates/Strength Training per week.

Glad to know I'm not the only one to do this! I decided to do this for myself in March. I even went out to a bar last night for a metal show and drank only water.

Goal: 3 runs per week, 2 Pilates sessions per week Track: It'll be in my diary (visible to friends), and I'll post here too. Reward: Pedicure!

I quit a little over a year ago after 16 years of smoking. I quit cold turkey. I just decided that I wasn't going to smoke anymore. The advice I have: STAY AWAY FROM SITUATIONS WHERE YOU USED TO SMOKE ALL THE TIME. I don't know what your habits were, but I used to smoke at bars a lot. So, for a few months, I stayed away…

Super Mario Bros and Duckhunt were the first. They came together with the system. The first game that really got me, though, was a PC game, Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny. It blew my mind. It's also one of the hardest games I've ever played. Oh, want to go into that dungeon? Well, make sure you don't just have a…

Thanks, folks! PS I tried googling, but I wasn't getting the caliber of recipes I was looking for. When I host a dinner party, I normally do French cuisine, but since pretty much everything they do is with cream and butter, it wouldn't work for this. :) (My Complete Le Cordon Bleu, and Julia Child's The Art of French…

There are some wonderful recipes on that site, thanks!

You're not allowed to chew gum when working with food, for those people suggesting that.

I worked at McDonald's throughout university. As a swing manager I got stuck working a lot of midnight shifts. I get you. I gained the bulk of my weight working there with my free meals as a manager. Not to mention if you're the only manager on, you can't just go and sit down to take a lunch, so jamming cheeseburgers into…

Here's a couple of ideas. Date and Pistachio Stuffed Chicken Breasts. I suggest this one, because it's a way of adding fruit and nuts to your diet. It sounds crazy, but it is very good. My father-in-law, who hates chicken and anything "weird" had seconds. Ingredients 1/2 cup of raw, shelled pistachios (or almonds) 1/2 cup…

My husband is a a vegetarian. As such, I tend to eat mainly vegetarian. I very rarely have meat at home. It's usually only if we eat out or we have guests over for dinner. My favourite vegetarian cookbook is: The Complete Tassajara Cookbook by Edward Espe Brown.…

Well, I live in Canada, and I have a year round kitchen garden. As in, I harvest things like broccoli, brussel sprouts, arugula, spinach, leeks, carrots, kale, and chard in the winter, when there's snow. You don't need a green house either, just some wood to make a frame and an old window or windowed door to put on top of…
