When I started in January, I couldn't even walk a mile. 30 days ago I was still struggling to make 2 miles. 30 days ago I decided to start jogging instead of walking. I guess pushing myself was the right thing to do :) Thursday I ran my first 5K. I've ran 3 more since then. Today I got to 3.55 miles. I can totally dig…

I know cycling doesn't count so I'm only posting my running miles. I cycle on the days my hip is acting up. :)

Good luck to you! :-)

Bump :-)

I'm in at 60 miles... :)

Thank you... it hasn't been easy. I just hate to see others struggle. I'm not perfect but these are some of the things I've done to keep me going. :)

Awesome article Mer... You should post it daily for everyone who is new, re - entering the healthy lifestyle world or just for the hell of it. I agree that the writer was hard on herself but if it makes her feel better to apologize then go for it. Her intentions were never to hurt anyone intentionally. I do have to say…

If it bothers you do much, don't read it... Geez.

You have no right to tell anybody to FRIGGING do anything. Someone else working out IS a waste of your time so why are you so focused on it? I am a runner so don't tell me to get on an elliptical when you don't even know me. Just so you're aware, you're not the only one in the world who knows how to work out properly and…

Nothing will ever keep me from the gym and my health. But I love your attitude!! I don't give a $&^& what they think of me either... :glasses:

Stick with the food logging. You can never know exactly what you eat unless you log. I also find the boards nasty and full of misinformation more than helpful however, I do like to be here to encourage others. Good luck to you!

Did you really just tell her how to work out? To free up a treadmill at the gym? Seriously? Get a frigging life.

I find this entire thread to be negative and de-motivating. I feel bad for the people who just started and have lower self-esteem but are out there making an effort only to know now that they are being judged by others. Un-frigging-real. You all must be so amazing.

I use the BMF link armband too... I use the app on my phone to get live updates on what I'm doing at that moment and for the entire day. It also monitors your sleep and you can link it into your MFP food diary. I use it every day. I absolutely love it!

Duh... (6-pack)

I used to get headaches when I'd start a new diet. I believe it was from sugar withdrawal. Sometimes healthy changes can have initial negative symptoms. Just keep with it. Your body will adjust and you'll feel awesome... :-)

I'm 44... I started smoking to be cool when I was 12 (1980). I quit cold turkey July 30, 2002. The first two weeks were the hardest. I woke up crying before I even opened my eyes every single morning. You made it through the hardest part. Tomorrow it will start to get easier. I'll celebrate 11 years smoke free this year. I…

Hahahaha... it censored my post because I said d - i - c - k's. Sorry MFP, that's just the name of the store just like Modell's... Yikes. ROFL

I had PF for a long time. It started around 2002 and would get so bad that I could barely walk. Once day I actually collapsed on the beach trying to walk to our umbrella thru the dry sand. It's painful and anyone who has never experienced it just cannot relate. My doctor taught me some stretching exercises and I lost…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Totally ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He's not happy or he wouldn't feel the need to tell you how happy he is.

I guess it could be but I try to keep my rewards non-food related just so it doesn't make the food more "important"... I hope that makes sense. How about... - a facial - a tattoo - a piercing - an overnight trip with your SO - a new outfit - a mani/pedi The important thing is that you do what you want... even if it's your…

I think I will... you convinced me!! I'll do it when I get to 160. 62 pounds to go.... Cannot wait now!! Sooooo excited!! :love:

Oh Christina... riding the rides sounds so fun! I also haven't done that in ages... I originally posted too and said that feeling like me again would be the reward. Sounds like we are thinking the same... LOL I would also looooooove to get a sexy belly button ring. :smokin:

There are no set rules or anything but I'm thinking more of a rest over a 24 hour period. If you're totally strapped for time and split up your workout, you are still working out the same day. Just a thought.

It gets worse each time it comes back too... if I had only know that the first time I let myself gain weight... LOL

Are you still talking? She asked for suggestions, I made one. No need to slam it.

I love to sit on my but all day too on a Sunday... watch a movie with my family or play with my dogs. It's my favorite thing to do when not being active. Sometimes you really do just need one of those days... :flowerforyou: Today I food shopped, walked the dogs, worked on the laundry (up and down the stairs) and am just…

Your opinion. That said, I made a suggestion that works great for me and someone comes and tells the person I'm talking to not to waste their money. Why is is a waste? Am I not supposed to want firmer looking, more attractive, less noticeable cellulite? Or am I supposed to wait until I lose 62 more pounds and hope for the…

I started at 234, I'm out 222 right now and want how to get to 160. I log every day, go to the gym everyday and love to meet new people. Add me! Best of luck to you!

Kinda rude response. The point is too make it appear better until I lose the fat plus have healthier looking skin. Every time. recommend this to someone, they are thrilled with the results. And I do not agree that any inexpensive moisturizer will do that, this is an affordable moisturizer and it works very well. You don't…
