OP I can tell you from personal experience that it is doable. I went from 0 miles to completing a half marathon. Started training in December and the half was in March. I used the Galloway method which is a run/walk mix. It did it without any injuries and started at 265+ lbs. I also incorporated strength training. You need…

THIS x1000!!! I lose so much more weight when I eat around 1800 calories!!! I am 5'6 and currently 237. I dont log my exercise. I had to manually enter in my daily caloreis becasue MFP set me at 1350. Past experience has taught me that super low calorie intake doesnt work for me.

Just finished week 1

Congrats on your pregnancy!!! I was a high risk pregnancy so I can't really help other than try to eat healthy. I was told to avoid sushi and a few other things. check out the kellymom or babycenter websites....lots of info there. Good luck

Well that was non responsive to the OP question... OP watp is a great one or like previously suggested use some gel or something to help with chafing. A running store should be able to help you out.

I am trying to lose about 80 lbs. Down 20 so far :) Feel free to add me.

This...sometimes the recipes/listings in MFP are off. No way a cup of fried potatoes was only 20 calories no carbs and 1 gram of fat. Sometimes you have to use the make your own recipe option on here to get an accurrate number for things.

This. I am also diabetic and I dont follow the MFP suggested calories. I follow the TDEE formula and try to make sure I eat enough. I am 243lbs and currently try to eat around 1900 calories. I do between 35-75 minutes of aerobics a day and I am also breastfeeding. If I eat too far below 1900 I am dragging. One of the most…

My coach told me to follow the Harris Benedict formula for nutrition. It already incorporates the fact theat Im working out. I use MFP for tracking purposes.

I use it. I like it. Worth the cost?? To me yes because its easy and I dont have to think about making my own smoothies and stuff. Are there other products out there? Yes. But I enjoy the Shakeology and will continue to use it. If you are only looking for just protein though Optimum Nutrition is a good product. You could…

I drink protein shakes and work out. I lose a reasonable amount of weight and am looking forward to long term benefits. My Dr. specifically told me to watch out for soy due to thyroid issues associated with it. Body by Vi is like the new Herbalife. The profiles are similar.

I work out at home. Gym is way too crowded and classes are always full :-/

I always feel better when I have a rest day. just gotta make sure my nutrition stays on point. Listen to your body :)

I had my son in the middle of Sept. At 6 weeks PP I had lost about 30lbs. I gained about 8 back over the holiday o_O. I just started watching my calories and weorking out. I lost 5 lbs the first week and hope to continue losing. I am a Type II diabetic and want to get off my meds so I also have to watch my carbs. I…

Just checked out skinnytast. that site looks awesome :)

This is my goal as well

I can't believe I read 6+ pages of this. Anyway, I'm not a coach and I drink Shakeology. Is it pricey?? YES but I am rushed in the morning, it doesn't spike my sugar (Type II Diabetic), and it tastes fine. My Dr. said I could drink it and I prefer it over Glucerna. That being said, I am feeling much healthier an my sugar…

Hey I just started Power 90 and I am on 2000 calories. I'm a nursing mother but I KNOW you really need to eat more. Have you talked to your coach about it? I know BB assigns you one. They should be able to come up with a meal plan for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. BTW Im 5'6 and started at 240lbs. I am only…
