First let me be realistic...I wouldn't call myself a runner by any means. We are joggers...my running pal and I. We are right under 13 min miles so I don't burn as many calories as other people may. We try to do 4-5 miles a couple of times a week in the evening and our long runs are on Saturdays. The farthest we have gone…

Maybe I'll try increasing it slowly. I'll stay at 1200 until next Monday...gives me a week at that number. Then add 100, and then another 100, until I get to 1400 or so.

I think I have it set to 50% carbs a day right now. I have done a lot of research on training for half marathons and for the amount of training we have been doing, up until last week when I hit a roadblock and didn't have time, I should be eating about 50% carbs. Maybe once the half marathon is over and I'm cutting back on…

I was not eating the exercise calories back. I had gained the 5 pounds steadily over the two weeks.

I have opened up my diary. I have been really good about tracking this last week. Before that I was still writing it in my WW book but not necessarily posting it here. Someone mentioned maybe I'm not tracking accurately. I am a WW veteran. That is the first thing they teach you. I religiously weigh and measure all my food.…

I was on WW for 2 years after I had my son. Before I got pregnant I had been on for about 2 years as well. The first time I lost about 40 pounds, gained it back when I was pregnant and then lost it again. Maybe my body is just used to it. Honestly, I eat pretty much what I used to eat when I was doing WW. The only…

This dvd has been sitting on a shelf since a friend gave it to me years ago. I had completely forgotten about it until now. I'm hoping I will have time tonight to get started. I was thinking of waking up a little earlier every day and doing it first thing so I may wait until tomorrow to start. I'm 5'3" and currently 153.8.…

I did WW and lost about 35 pounds. I had to stop due to financial reasons but if I could afford it I would go back. I like their tracking a lot more than the tracking here. I liked the good health guidelines on their site and I like that you could check off how many fruits/veggies, dairy, and oil you ate. I haven't found a…

I recommend going to a local, smaller bike shop. Not a chain store. We have one that is 0.75 miles from our house. The owners have become our friends and everyone in there is so friendly. They have been super helpful with us. My husband and I have purchased our road bikes from them and recommended other friends there. We…

I did one of these last year with my 2 year old. I did not take a bandana. Honestly there wasn't enough cornstarch to hurt him. I wear contacts and just wore sunglasses and was fine. I also had my son wear sunglasses. The people along the course were very nice, when we passed by with my son they would be careful how they…

Thank you everyone for the ideas. I may check out the Rodney Yee videos or the Jillian ones. I work full time and have a two year old son at home...I don't have 90 minutes to spare on a yoga routine. If I had 90 extra minutes my house might actually get clean :wink:

That would be wonderful. I love my Polar and don't plan on getting a Fitbit anytime soon.

I lost nearly 40 pounds on WW and loved it. I'm a huge WW supporter and really loved the program. The support was phenomenal and I loved my meeting leader. I am really close to goal weight and hit a plateau. I think my body is just where it wants to be. So, after a few months I decided to stop paying and use this site more…
