^^ This! And for me it also made my dry skin go away. Bonus!

I am on here ALL the time. Please feel free to add me, or anyone else. :flowerforyou:

I'd like to give it a try :bigsmile:

Ew...Ew ew ew.... But :laugh: to the alcohol..LOL

Quinoa :sick:

I love when people tell me that I "can't" and **try** to bring me down. As much as it irks me and stings, it is total fuel for what I do on a daily basis. I aim to prove people wrong :bigsmile: You'll always have negative people around you bashing you for whatever reason. It is YOU that has to be happy with yourself and…

I am in. I started them last week and was aiming for 5 seconds each, but could hold at 10s. Not much, but it is a start. :blushing: I've been looking for a good plank challenge. So I am in. I am going to aim for Silver. :drinker:

I try and stick to low carb as much as possible. I count my calories, and the only micro I try to track is my carbs and protein. I have PCOS, so carbs have a very bad impact on my diet. It is what causes me to gain. It was difficult for me to adjust in the beginning, but now I love it. Carbs make me hungry and zap my…

That is HUGE to brag about. Congrats!! The more you go through it all those little milestones will add up and before you know it you'll be running 30 minutes+ non stop. very proud of you!

I second the no cramps thing. I normally have mind blowing, curl up in a corner and rock myself insane, kind of cramps. However, since I have started working out and eating better, I am pain free. But, it did delay Aunt Flo...by 20 days. (I just started working out, body adjusting still) Still ran during. No changes in my…

^^ This! I do the same thing. I make sure I have good posture and try and hit my cadence (180). Once I've got that down I can focus on breathing and it is breathe in for 3 strides, out for 3 strides. Usually in through the nose, out through the mouth.

Space Coast...Florida!

I totally agree with a PP. I never thought this would be a place to "meet people." I totally have a HUGE crush. One person. :smooched:

I say go for it!!! I registered for a 5k before I even started C25K. It is in January so it gives me plenty of time to train. And it gives me a long term goal that is NOT weight loss related. It is for health and for the satisfaction of being able to condition my body to do something it never could. Losing weight would…

I am on here ALL-THE-TIME. I prefer it to any other site. Anyone is welcome to add me at any time. Always super motivational, and always post support to all throughout the day :bigsmile:

Oh what the heck, why not...I am in!

Hi Tom! Congrats on deciding on the new life style. It is awesome :) FR sent!!

Congrats!!! So proud of your accomplishment!! Keep up the great work!

Such incredible amounts of inspiration. Thank you SO MUCH for all of the feedback.

Thank you so much for the feedback. It is definitely something I have never thought of until now. A lot of good advice. You guys are the best!!! I think I am going to start the transition to outdoors. I did enjoy the scenery much better. Much more to look at. You all are the best!!:flowerforyou:

I have recently tried "Thrive". I find it to be delicious and it is incredibly nutritious.... I have tried the vanilla and the chocolate, and I enjoy the vanilla more. It is 250 cals, and it **looks** like a small amount, but once you open it and get into it, it is actually a lot. And very satisfying.…

Edamame....always...I cannot kick the craving.

Yet, when I first started I nearly knocked myself out doing a jumping jack :blushing: But, I've since doubled up, and I can do anything. Might not be the best way to go about it, but it works for me. :drinker:

Nope. I figure when people see me they can see my progress. And since I've become active on MFP, I rarely go on FB anymore.

This... If I know I am going out to lunch or dinner, I try to plan my day. I'll figure out what I am having for the rest of my meals & snacks and plug that all in. And then look up the restaurant websites and pick & chose what I want and fill in the rest of my day. Might be a lot of deleting and adding to accommodate, but…

I have in the past (twice actually..) been addicted to energy drinks. Rockstar and Nos to be exact. I could drink 4-5 of them daily, and it have no effect on me. It became like water to me. Breaking those addictions were awful. I would have the shakes, and the headaches, mood swings, cravings, emotions...it was awful. Now…

I agree with the others with downloading a C25K program. I am a big girl as well, and I have always found it awkward to jog. I have been at the program for 2 nearly 2 months. I am taking my time with it so I do not injure myself, so I am still only on week 3. It is a great tool to build endurance and get you running. It…

Bump....yummo

Yep! When I get to goal I am going to get my half sleeves done. I already have the artist working on them so I can keep at as an extra means of motivation. And I agree with the others, it does not hurt as bad as you think it will...if at all. My last tat on my back nearly put me to sleep :):)

Yes, I am doing it! I am on week 3 (for the second time..hehe). Great program and very self paced. I love it. Each week I feel more and more like a runner. Feel free to add me. I'd love to support you during your journey :)
