Good job! Keep it up. Some of my Facebook friends started a 100 miles in April challange.

Army Reserve Carpenter, trying to get good PT scores for WLC and not bulk too much to stay within height and weight.

I think I like where this thread is heading.

To answer your question, you can do yoga everyday no prob. That's a gentle, low impact exercise. However, what others have stated, you need to have enough calories to fuel your activity (dancing, more calorie burning exercises). Your weight loss goals are a bit too ambitious, and not healthy. You didn't put on the weight…

Army female here, feel free to add.

Shakeology. I got 3 months worth (when I was trying to loose weight quickly from having been on profile, or light duty) and am still trying to finish up the last of it. Biggest waste of money ever. MFP got me straight.

Good luck in Africa. I have friends who have enjoyed their experiences there. Random, but here is a good site for information on protein ( http://www.proteinreport.com/whatisprotein.php ). It's obvious advertisement on other pages of the website, but some of the info is good.

You do realize that you probably will not be in the same training company as your friend when you enlist right? There's a good possibility you two may not even get the same mos (military job). Therefore, even though it may seem like a good idea to enlist with somebody, your enlistment is your own. This is a contract…

*raises hand* I'm 5'7" My heaviest was 210 lbs. Now I'm 160 lbs. and in the Army Reserves.

Just had a small apple. I have a PT test in the morning. Carbs are good. :)

Almost twins! 28 5'7" 170

I eat almonds and quest bars almost everyday.

Not sure if this helps any, but I lost a little fat in my breasts, and I started slapping on CoQ10 lotion in a sports bra at night. They certainly seem firmer now lol.

Thanks to the military a sing a cadence when I run. It's the only way I can control my breathing. It's lame but, I say "PT" while exhaling slowly, two short inhales.."Good for you" while exhaling, two short inhales. "Good for me". It's cut my 2 mile down to a 17:45 which is decent for a 28 female.

Hi, I'm Evelyn. I'm trying to rehab a disk injury so that I can stay in the Army Reserves. Doing well on my PT tests and plan on keeping it that way. Only need to shave 10 seconds off my run time to hit my goal of 70% in the run category. I also wouldn't mind dropping about 15 lbs.

That's amazing work you've put in, especially as a caregiver. Taking care of someone with a disability can make it easy to ignore yourself, and focus mainly on whom your caring for. Good job for focusing on you and your health too!

Thanks for the input; I'll definitely have a talk with him. I think overdoing it with the burpees is what did it. I foam roll after every work out and take BCAA and L-Glutamine for quicker recovery. I should not be feeling like this after a work out 2 days ago.

I swear by Victoria's Secret Incredible Sport Bra (I'm a 36 DDD). I got one for only 50 cents with coupons once. If you sign up for coupons in the mail, they usually have a free panty and $10 off bra special. Having the right coupons at the right time is how I can purchase them for around $30. Glamorise is also a good…

Nice to meet you, I'm stationed in New Cumberland, PA.

Have you checked out PT365? They have some running plans that might help. Thankfully I can pass a PT test, I just need to shave 10 seconds off my run to make 70 percent! . I've also taken up swimming in conjunction with running. Not sure if this helps (or If you'll have the extra time being active), but good luck! Also…

I've had running issues due to injury. What helps me are good shoes, a foam roller (I use Trigger Point Grid), when in physical therapy I found a neat device called a Muscle Trac ( you won't get shin splints if you use it before and after a run and have good shoes on), I do lots of stretches like the hip flexors, Glutes,…
