add me too. I need all the help I can get!

I think you need to find a new doctor. I'm sure he knows his medical stuff, but I don't think he knows his people stuff. You went to him for help and he sure didn't give you any. Like others have said, I'm no doctor, but even I know that "food is food" is a load of hooey! I know how I feel after I eat fast food, and it is…

Jennifer in California

I weighed in at 149 this morning.

I'm Jennifer, I live near San Jose, California. I've lost about 25lbs over the last year, but I've been living on a plateau for a couple of months now, and I need to get re-focused and motivated. I'm hoping this group will keep me accountable.

I'd like to join. I've never joined a group like this, but I've been falling off and losing control and I need help getting back on track and keeping motivated. I have 20lbs I'd like to lose by June. So sign me up!

wow. this is really beautiful and it really touched me. I wish the same for you. Thanks. -Jennifer

Yuummm

I'd prefer to be either "athletic" or "voluptuous".

I usually start running on an empty stomach, but if I'm going more than 6 miles, I fuel up after 4 or 5 miles and then again around mile 8 or 9 depending on the length of my run. My fuel of choice is Gu with caffeine. It tends to give me a boost of energy when I start dragging.

mmmmm... can't wait to try it.

That was really funny, especially because it's something I think about as I run by 2 fire stations on my daily run! Unfortunately, they don't really hang outside much... But i'm always checking, just in case!

Last year I started just like you, running short distances and walking in between, and now in just a few weeks I'm going to run my first 1/2 marathon. I've run 6 10k's and my time keeps getting better. Like you, I wanted to run the whole thing, so when I trained for it instead of walking, I slowed down to a very slow run…

As someone else on MFP has said "if you bite it, you write it"

I did P90x for about 2 weeks, but my biggest problem with it was time. I'm currently training for a 1/2 marathon, so I spend anywhere from 1/2 hour to 3 hours running per day. Add to that 1 to 2 hours of P90x, and then I don't have much time for sleeping, eating or working. Oh, and forget about family and friends. I liked…

That sounds Awesome! I can't wait to try it.

Just finished week 1, and man! that YOGA kicked my A**. starting week 2 tomorrow. Hope I don't die.

OMG! that looks and sounds so amazing. I'm going to try it right away!

So, I'm kinda where you were last year. I started seriously running last December and my first 1/2 marathon will be in October. Just try to remember how training was when you were building up to that 1/2. You didn't just go from running 10k to 1/2. You need to gradually increase your distance. If you think that you're…

Yeah, ok, who doesn't want Beyonce's legs? But I think yours are just fine. If you look at most dancer's legs they are curvy and strong! Those are the legs I'm trying to get.

Ok! I got my before pics taken; got a HRM and figured out how to use it; and set up an anchor for my resistance bands. I'm all ready to go and I'm starting Sunday. Wish me luck and strength!

coat it in panko crumbs and pan fry (or use non stick pan with cooking spray) or you could make it into a ceviche

I usually exercise 5-6 days a week, but if I feel exhaused, like you do, then I listen to my body and give myself a rest day. Sometimes I'll give myself a rest week, and only work out 2-3 times, or I will do lighter exercises. I also may go over my calories on one or two days, but I always get right back to it. Don't let…

I've been wanting to start P90X, and I guess August is as good a time as any. I'll join you!

Your husband is crazy. you will be losing on average about 5-6lbs per month and that is not unrealistic at all. You can do it! just stick with it.

If you have a persistent cough, you should see a doctor. It may be bronchitis, which can be treated with antibiotics. Often there are no other symptoms except for a horrible hacking cough that makes you feel like you're going to cough your head off. I've had it before. Twice.

Oh, honey, you need a new doctor! I had a doctor like her once, though not half as bad. I went to her because I was having frequent bloody noses, and she put me on all sorts of pills for other things including a blood pressure medicine because even though my blood pressure wasn't high the medicine was a "preventative". I…

You're not crazy! I have people saying "oh, yeah, she's on a diet." all the time. I tell them I'm not on a diet, I'm just taking control. I choose to eat what I want to eat, and right now in this minute I want to eat healthy.
