I just started my inaugural C25K run last week. My knees are SORE! Did / does anyone else have that problem? It's been hard to do anything for this week since (going up and down the stairs carrying my little boy, namely.)

Me too! I'm going to friend request all of you, if you don't mind. I have no idea what's going on in life anymore.

I'd watch it for a longer time line, if you find after several weeks at maintenance calories you are still losing weight, check in with your doctor. One incidence can be chalked up to fluctuation, but if it's a pattern, look at other variables.

Tendonitis, and my *kitten* knocking over random objects.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the Body Media unit also require some kind of monthly or annual membership fee to access their data base? My own opinion here because I use Polar FT4 religiously and might be biased, but if you're having success with a medium you're already comfortable with, why change?

Dieting and weight loss is more than what it seems. There are so many components mixed in with it, and the reasons for extra weight can be more than simply not knowing the best way to eat healthfully. One example I can think of straight away: a woman is sexually assaulted, and forever after is made uncomfortable by…

I deleted two people: One was too pushy with her faith, and it came out in every thing she posted. If your version of God floats your boat, fine, but pushing it my way as a source of motivation just doesn't do it for me. The other was on a VERY low calorie diet for her starting weight, and then would cycle to bingeing at…

All of you are amazing!!

A note of fair warning: My Fitness Pal members are not very keen on juice cleanses to the point of berating. The general consensus is just eat healthy / clean, and you will achieve the same type of "cleanse" because your liver and kidneys get the job done given the proper tools.

Definitely make it a point to eat before you show up, so you can control what you're eating, how much, how it's prepared, etc. There is nothing worse than getting derailed at a party because you're starving and all the hosts put out are less than ideal-for-dieter snacks.

Another endorsement for the Polar FT4. I was able to calculate more reliably after purchasing mine. My progress became more consistent after getting the HRM, and my food scale. Those are the two most important tools to weight loss as far as I'm concerned.

My reasons have already been taken by other members, but I wanted to chime in and say it's so important to be reminded of these things, particularly because weight loss can be a long, arduous journey if you forget why you began.

I love how supportive and nurturing all the respondents in this thread have been. You guys are the best! :heart:

Not every one wants to be intimately introduced to your twig and berries. At least wear a pair of shorts over them. Please.

REDSKINS representative over here!!! :drinker:

Fools. Any idiot knows that a person wanting ice cream badly enough will cut the bottom off. :laugh:

Pumpkin seeds! Tis the season!

OP, will you keep us updated? :flowerforyou:

My collar bone area.

I'm with you, sister! It's ridiculous how men get to reap the rewards of multiple partners, and women don't have the same luxury. Have fun picking out more husbands!

I'm definitely interested to see what Insanity does to your graph. Thanks so much for sharing!!!! This is amazing.

Probably because college years means financial destitution, even with a job.

I haven't read any of the replies whatsoever, so forgive me if this has been said before, but I would not get the same "breed" dog. Instead, I'd get a "mutt," because pure breds are so inbred over time, they are prone to health issues specific to their gene pool. I don't like the idea of tinkering with nature that way, so…

REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love:

Make a souffle with eggwhites instead of whole eggs, and lighten the amount of butter that some recipes call for. It's really good :-)

Replying to revisit later. I love reading these!

Hey, me too!! It's a Kale hating party! :drinker:

Extra Cardio? ;-)
