  • Coffee (I log the cream), diet pop, water, anything zero calorie, I eat a lot of salads but I don't log the iceberg lettuce. I DO log all the stuff in the salad (dressing, cheese, veggies, etc.)

  • People really need to lighten up... It was a simple story about work and some co-workers. Not a jab at pre/current/post bulimics. Cripes. Funny story and yes, puking at work in a public bathroom sucks. Like throwing up isn't bad enough, you have to go face first into a "foreign" commode.

  • I'm in Crest Hill, just north of Joliet... Chicagoland FTW! Challenge Fitness - Lockport Township Park District facility... and the asphalt in my neighborhood.

  • By "rest", do mean stop or just ease back to an easy pace?

  • I'm pretty sure this was the original: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml Any program that gradually works you up to running a 5k is ok, though. I'd just pick one and... wait for it... run with it

  • I was in the 320's when I started... Now down to 250 since January and can run 6+ miles without walking. Yes... you CAN do it. Just start slow. Even cut week one in half... 30 seconds running, 3 minutes walking. I had to repeat a couple weeks just because I wasn't ready to move on.

  • Not a whole DAY... Just a cheat meal or two spread out over the week. Keeps me sane.

  • Pure Protein bars... They're 180-200 cals, 20g of protein and only 3g of effective carbs. You can get them pretty much anywhere. I get the 18 pack from Sam's Club, but I think WalMart has them too.

  • Gave up caffeine a few years ago... MASSIVE headache the first night off the juice, but fine after that.

  • Bananas are fine... They might be on the higher end of the calorie spectrum for fruits, but they have a ton of potassium and are a great pre-workout food.

  • Start with the "Couch to 5k" plan. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml I started in September and now I can run for 4 miles straight without walking. I was also 325lbs back then - now down to 287. If I can do it, ANYONE can. Doing my first 5k next month. :)

  • Cardio is great and will help you drop pounds, but weights will keep your body burning more calories longer after the workout. It's nice to see muscles form too. Personally, I do a little of each when I go to the gym... Lift a set or two - run a mile or two - lift another set. You feel great afterward.
