I am also training for a half marathon! Mine is September 29th, and it'll be my first run longer than a 5K. I have my first six mile training run in the morning. I'm 26 and 5'6'', also with about 30 lbs to lose. It sounds like we have a lot in common, I'm going to add you!

My boyfriend said to me, "Bring your skinny butt over here." :love: I finished the first week of training for my first half marathon, and I feel great!

Thanks I'll check that website!

Hi from Bellingham!

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to focus on my breath and my technique next time I'm swimming laps. I've used a kick board before and it was tiring! Are there specific workouts you do with them or just swimming back and forth, using the kick board under your arms?

I started running a few weeks ago and on days when I run I have a hard time falling asleep. It doesn't matter what time of day I run. I don't know if you've been exercising but that has been my experience.

Okay great, thanks! On my rest days I haven't been doing much outside of going for a quick walk, and I always feel like I want to do more. I just want to take it slow and make sure I'm not setting myself up for injury. From the responses I'm getting it seems like the type of activity I would want to do on my rest day would…

After I finish C25K I'm going to Lululemon and buying myself a few new sports bras and some cute workout headbands to keep my crazy hair under control!

Well I may have to try it anyway. There might be a white-wine lover within me yet!

Same!

A bottle for 500 cals?! Where can I get it? Brand name? I love red :)

I just finished week 2. I love it so far. I always feel great after a run, even if I really didn't want to go in the first place and my boyfriend had to drag me out the door! Feel free to add me!

Bump!

I'm starting on the bikini boot camp today! I'm going to add another snack in because the calorie intake is a little bit low for me.

Funniest thing I've read all day!

Ray Liotta came into the shoe store I worked at and bought a pair of Ugg boots from me. I had no idea who he was and spent quite a while talking to him, and after he left my manager started gushing about how jealous he was. He was a really nice guy and ended up coming back into the store more than once.

Also, most of the thin celebrities don't even look the way they do in pictures, etc. Photoshop is a miracle worker!

I'll have to look for those chocolate chips! It's hard to find them without dairy! Also, the reduced sugar raspberry preserves does have seeds. Sorry!

I've been wanting to try these! Didn't know they had them at TJ's, I'll have to look next time I'm there!

I like Dave's Killer Bread. The light version still has 75 cals a slice, but it's soooo good!

Darn, you beat me to it! Haha!

Bellingham, WA! Glad to see so many other Washingtonians (sp?) on here!

I always eat back my exercise calories when I have time to earn any! My campus has a really nice rec center and I'm going to get my boyfriend a membership next quarter so we both have some motivation to get out of the house and get some exercise. I'm really looking forward to that!

Interesting, thank you!

I'll have to try that!

I am 5'6", so pretty close! The 1200 does seem pretty low, but I'm also a student and the vast majority of my time is spent sitting in front of my books and computer, so I don't burn many calories throughout the day.

It's been harder lately now that it's darker earlier and cold. It's like my body is trying to put on its winter weight!

I love having eggs for breakfast, I just usually don't have the time except on weekends. Maybe I'll buy some and hard boil them in advance so I have the extra protein in the morning!
