97lbs? You weigh 97lbs. Wow. I'd say a little bit of weight is probably a good thing. Lift weights so you don't look soft (not that anyone would think you are).

I'm seriously interested in this as I've been wondering so myself. I was/am a low cal eater, ranging from 500-1000 cals *gross* for the day, not *net* cals like MFP calculates. I sometimes eat my exercise calories, but usually I don't. I promised myself I'd start doing weights once I hit 150 - and that's 15lbs away, so I…

I am going to do this. This is a great idea to remind ourselves of just what we're doing!!

You know what's funny? I was a shoe size 8 my entire life... ... And now I've been finding size 8s too big. My snow boots are a forgiving size seven. I didn't think I'd lose weight in my feet! I don't wanna buy new shoes as well as new clothes...! It's nice to know that you lost a shoe size too! I'm not the only one!

Hence "Twilight" and "50 Shades of Grey"'s success.

Bear in mind, I'm not one for sweets at all. That cupcake looks like diabetes. I wouldn't eat it either. Unless it was maple syrup flavoured.

I like to weigh in every day for the same reasons - If I don't see a "gain" I might lose motivation. Seeing an 8oz gain one morning might make me push a little harder during my run, whereas if I see a 2oz loss, let's say, I might not challenge myself as much. And weighing in once a week doesn't work for me - I'm too…

OK! Wow! My first topic that hasn't died about five posts! Wooo! That being said, I took some advice. I ran averaging 5.0-5.2mph, and though I was running into the machine, here's my rundown of my run: 5min warmup 10min run 1min walk 5min run 30sec walk 5min run 5min cooldown That 30sec interval of walking is because I ran…

Running slower seems like I'm cheating. I walk fast - I walk averaging between 4-4.5mph (somewhat comfortably). Running at 5mph would (and does) seem too slow.

I hear this way too much. "Think LONGTERM." I do run outside, but, um... I'm Canadian, and it's winter. I try to run outside when I can, but bear in mind it's "good weather" when it's sloppy, the snow isn't plowed yet but already melting so it's really slippery. I know it sounds like I'm making excuses but it really isn't…

Good lord. That's some insane progress.

I did recently (middle of January, I got a bad cold and had a brief hiatus from running - about a week or so. During which I "lost a week or so" in the program) start trying to increase my speed to 5.5 - 6.0 from 5.2. Should I be eating more (like, have lunch an hour before) before I go to the gym? Or just "run through it"?

I just get extremely tired. Sometimes my stomach hurts, sometimes my calves get achy (but not too achy I can't run) but I just get so generally fatigued. It starts to hurt in my arms when I swing them... And the weird thing is, is that as I'm running I can physically tell it *was not* this hard when I first started out.

I don't lift often, but when I do, I lift as heavy as I can for 8 reps. I'm finding the skin - although loose, because I'm fat, it isn't saggy. Maybe try that?

I saw that too!

Bump :3

YES. I love both universes.

Bump, I guess.

Oh god yes this sounds familiar

I feel looked-down upon all the time, and typically I feel that way because of myself... If you're at the gym and feel that way, don't, because I'm 100lbs lighter than you and I would feel proud of you for working on yourself - but you gotta do it for yourself. If you're doing it for them, they've already won. You gotta do…

It's 11:25PM, I'm in my PJs and MFPing when I should be sleeping... And I see this topic, and suddenly I shout: I NEED A TRAMPOLINE. This is such a brilliant and insane idea and I want to do it SO MUCH.

I'm the same way!!!

I'm right there with the bridges!!! People think I'm crazy... And my other terrible, embarrassing fear is... Gnomes. Dobby petrified me, though he was an elf. But garden gnomes terrify me too! I couldn't watch the trailer for Gnomeo and Juliet... I've had the irrational fear since I was a kid and there was an episode of…

OMG I'm downloading it ASAP and putting it on my playlist

I love running to "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera!! My playlist of "amped up running songs": "Walk" - Pantera "Eye of the Tiger" --- seriously this is no joke lol "Gimme More" - Britney Spears "Ring the Alarm" - Beyonce Pretty much anything by Rihanna, most especially.... -"Please Don't Stop the Music" -"S&M" -"SOS" -"Rude…

THIS IS ME. Yesterday, I was (maybe still am...) 178.3lbs. My first goal weight is 175... A friend was in from out of town last night.... And last night I had a slice of pizza, 1/3a plate of nachos, 1/3 a piece of peanut butter cheesecake, a beer I've never heard of, 2 Guinness, a whole bag of Crispy Minis... I'm insanely…

it's high... I'm 29.2% and I look in the 35% range.

I'm not religious at all but I like doing things for Lent as I find it "fun". This year I'm going Paleo (or as much as possible), which includes no alcohol - and I'm Irish.... Last year I gave up smoking (with flying success), the year before was sodas, ...

Omigawd. THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY READING MY QUESTION AND ANSWERING IT APPROPRIATELY. Also you look cute as a button.

For the sake of my sanity.... I'm asking for healthy recipes. Just... God damn. Keyword is HEALTHY, maybe so I can become a bit healthier?
