Username : Shalynlink Team : Gut Busters Weight: 111.6 (no loss this week!)

Excellent weight loss this week – you are awesome!! Thanks for the recommendations – we don’t have an Aldi’s but I will find something small or I can always order on Amazon right? Calves- yes! I have had a ton of issues. Get yourself a foam roller..it totally helps! I roll out my legs every day. Also make sure your shoe…

Hey GloriaE2016 - yes quiet for sure..its been a hard week for me. Eating has sucked big time and I am finding cravings are so bad. I know I get more cravings when I am busy or stressed and this is my week. Any suggestions for low cal satisfying snacks? I eat an apple per day to try to satisfy my sweet tooth but this week…

Awesome!! Thanks! I must admit it was a very hard running week for me so that's the reason for the weight loss. Thanks team and we won this weeks challenge!!

wow - awesome!! I am just finishing my marathon training (Race on May 1st) so it will be very hard to keep the numbers going soon. Everyone is amazing!!

Username: Shalynlink Team: Gut Busters Weigh in Day: Friday Start Weight: 115 lbs Week 1 weight: 111.4 lbs

Holy crap - just looked and you all did amazing this week!! Like huge losses...you are awesome!!

Can my weigh in date be change to Friday? That is usually when I do it and I am part of a study that asks the same info for fridays? thanks!

Its hard to start - I always tell people to just go super slow. Just run from one hydro pole to the next and then walk and then try again. Our weather is pretty good except we have torrential rain but I like to run in the rain..its pretty peaceful. You should sign up for a 5 km race and then you will find that motivation!!

This weekend was a busy one and good. My daughter plays competitive softball so it was season opener (I am the manager / husband the coach) so lots to do. But I got my runs in - Sat- 15 km & Sun- 9 km hard trail run. I need to do more core work and actual arm workouts as I am super wimpy in my arms. I can do like 3…

Great job- If you don't normally jog - just start with 1.5 minutes and gradually build up in 30 sec increments. If you are a runner - then have at it, you can do it..just slow down to hit your 5 minutes mark!!

I wear my Garmin and the little thing controls my life! Good Job on the step count...

This is great!! Skinny pop - love it! Its super hard to avoid cake and parties but great job!!

i hit my initial goal weight and realized I still had a high fat % as well as more lbs of fat to lose...so I tacked on 5 lbs to lose.

This 100%. When you do cardio - your body develops collateral vessels which is a natural bypass for the heart. It puts your heart into a much better health catagory able to survive a heart attack much better (can't remember the %). If you don't do the cardio - you simply do not develop the vessels. So as I said before, it…

I had 2 friends notice and really were shocked at how different I look (have lost 20 lbs and 5 ft tall) I have lost 8 inches off my hips, 6 off my waist - its very noticeable. Everyone else - nothing. Like I think they notice but say nothing. I think they don't say something as it then points to the fact that I was heavy??

oh I am a triplet! Ht - 5 ft Heaviest - 136 Current - 115 GOAL!!! - 103 ...except I am old. But so young at heart.

Hi there, it's just an opinion is all. I train with a lot of amazing athletes who cardio train 60+ minutes 4 times a week and they are in amazing condition with no injuries. I personally do about 45-60 minutes 4x's per week and 90 minutes once per week (my long runs) I have dropped weight like mad and am on my last 10 lbs.…

Hey! I use the website https://myvega.com/recipes/ ALL the time as it really give wonderful recipes. They are more vegan but you can change ingredients as well. I made buffalo cauliflower bits last night - so good! I do a lot of rice paper wraps as well with raw vegetables and make a dairy free peanut thai sauce dip.

Ok - so I have always been active BUT I have always overeaten especially donuts and treats. I was a professional baker so I know how to provide myself those delightful goods. This past Christmas, I realized that I needed to make a choice - coming from an unhealthy family background - I had to choose if that's what my plan…

What a boss Tammy - 28 lbs!!!!! Great job!

Love the fitbit - you people are NUTS! We have a group of fitbitters at work and they trash talk and its so funny!!

Hi Helen! I am such a stress/ sadness eater. I had the most stressful job and ate donuts constantly. Yes, they are my kryptonite. I will add you as well.

Nice to meet you Tara! I ran into the same - lost weight and then gained it all back. MFP logging is my saving grace now! I am excited for this group!

Hello Team Gutbusters! Would love to hear more about you all!

I am on my last 10 lbs and oh boy it is waaayyy harder than the first 20 lbs. I am trying to give up sweets and keep it with complex carbs but I have until May 1st to get this 10 gone (Marathon on May 1st)

Hi! I am small - 5 feet (1.5 m). I have lost 20 lbs since Jan 1st putting me currently at 115 lbs. I have about 10 lbs left to lose and stick pretty close to 1200 calories per day. It does suck that I run like a mad woman for 60 minutes and burn only 600-700 calories. I get it, smaller person = smaller burn ...but I just…

Foam roll every damn day x's 3. And stretching (lots online) and massage. And check your shoes have a good 12m drop (my Brooks Ghost's are a pair of beauties) and watch running on crowned roads/ trails. Switch sides every KM / M. Acupuncture helps immensely as well.

Compliment sandwich - generally works well in social & business settings. The other thing to recognize is you don't always have to be right (not just you but me and everyone else) You always have to ask yourself - "at the end of the day, does being correct on this really matter that much?". It's a tough one but if you are…

Grew up drinking more milk than anyone (dairy farm kid) I love milk so much BUT I as a rule I don't drink my calories. I do have a Vega protein shake daily (25 g protein) but really try to stick to water & green tea.
