Melody, I'm so sorry you're feeling disappointed with your weigh-in this morning. Please don't let this discourage you. Be super-proud of your achievements and your progress thus far: 36 lbs off so far is a fantastic loss! And don't let your disappointment overshadow the significance of what you DID get out of this…

That's kind of where my head is at too. Realistically, I'm aiming for about 5-7 lbs (~1/week), but then sometimes I almost feel like it should be twice that. I'm also planning on sticking to every 2 or 3 weeks between weigh-ins. I definitely think not constantly thinking about "the number" helped me stick to my healthy…

What happened? We all went dead quiet for a couple of days. Is anyone else as nervous as I am about tomorrow's weigh-in? It's silly, I know, but I'm actually anticipating disappointment tomorrow. I don't have a specific number in mind, but somehow I feel like no matter what my actual loss is, I will have expected more. I…

I was just about to post this same link. I use these and they never fall out when I run. I'm tough on headphones too, and I've tried a few different ones for under $15 recently. These are the best I've found for the money.

Good luck! I doubt I could handle temptation like that right now--it's too close. In fact, I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for this afternoon but I rescheduled it. I know I could close my eyes when they weigh me and I ask them not to tell me my weight, but I don't think I trust myself! :blushing: Might I make a…

So, I did my first Krav Maga class tonight and it was FANTASTIC! I know I'm going to hurt tomorrow, but right now I'm on such a high! It was a killer workout and super-fun. It was a 1-hour class and it seriously felt like 10 minutes. I'm bummed because the place is too far from me to make this something I could do…

I have Brooks Ariels and I love them. I had previously been using a $40 pair of New Balance cross trainers I got at DSW and these are SO much more comfortable to run in. I got the Ariels at a running store after a fitting/evaluation and paid a little over $100. But if you know which ones they recommended you can look…

This, unfortunately, is all too true. About a month ago, I had a scare that really freaked me out. I was walking (cooling down after a run) just a couple of blocks from my home when out of nowhere, a teenager ran up behind me and grabbed my *kitten*. Granted, I was out at night with headphones on, but I had my dog with me…

Good for you! We get so caught up thinking about our weight here, we forget about the bigger picture. Fantastic job!

Just started my garden a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Miami, FL. So far I'm growing (or trying to grow, we'll see how it goes) Tomatoes Habaneros Jalapenos Green bell peppers Banana peppers Zuccini Yellow squash Some kind of green beans (I can't remember exactly) Rosemary Cilantro Basil Oregano I also have fruit trees:…

I gave up chocolate and my scale for Lent. Last night I dreamt that I "accidentally" ate a chocolate chip cookie and didn't realize that a chocolate chips ARE chocolate until I was already half way through it. By that time it was too late to save myself, so I decided to finish the cookie and go ahead and weight myself too.…

Bump!

I live in Miami. Not a FL native, but I've been here since '92, so I may as well be.
-
Yep...if I can't pronounce it, I'm not eating it!
-
Only real food for me too. I'd prefer to eat limited amounts of real butter and sugar or honey rather than the processed low-cal/low-fat stuff.

You might not want to hear this, but in addition to the stretching, you should probably take a short break from whatever exercise is causing the pain. I'm in the middle of doing C25K and I was having this same problem with unbearable shin pain until a little over a week ago. Everyone kept telling me to stop running for a…

I have so been wanting to try this, but the closest place I've found to do it is about 40 minutes away. Since I was a little on the fence anyway, I let the distance keep me away, but now you've sparked my interest again. I just went to their website and it looks like they offer a free class to try it out, so now I have no…

The same thing happened to me when I did W6D2. The heat and humidity makes a huge difference. Up till then, I had been running in the early evening when it was cooler out, but that day I decided to run in the afternoon when it was still sunny. The heat killed me and I gave up half way through. I was SO disappointed in…

I usually listen to Pandora or an audio-book. While I like having the beat of music to help keep me going, I've noticed lately that getting lost in a good book really makes the time go by faster.
-
Mine's open. Feel free to take a look and pass along any suggestions. I'm happy to hear any feedback, positive or negative.
-
Finally...I can hardly wait! After all this time, I better have a huge loss to celebrate Easter morning! ;-)
-
I love Greek yogurt and love peanut butter; this should be great! Thanks!
-
I'm still here without the scale, too. Sorry I haven't checked in. It seems I think about the scale less and less...until I think about it! Then, I'm temporarily obsessed--we still have 4 more weeks of this! I'm going on a trip for 5 days this week where I know I'll be eating and drinking WAY more than I should. Hope I can…

3/20 49 minutes 3/21 82 minutes 3/22 No walking or running :( 3/23 34 minutes 3/24 68 minutes Only 1 week left in March! Time to start thinking about April's goal...

Confession: I never pay attention to how much fiber I'm getting. :embarassed: Looking back, I see that I've only been around 20 g most days. I just increased my goal to 25 g/day and I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it from now on.

Question for those of you with a heart rate monitor: How often do you update your weight on the watch? And now that we aren't weighing ourselves, if we don't update the user info on the watch, and we lose weight, won't the estimated calorie burn be inflated? I'm wondering because today I was trying on some old clothing and…

I have an Android phone and I use Runkeeper to track my running routes via GPS. I really love it, and it's free. But there are several other apps out there which do the same thing basically, so if you have a smartphone, download a few of them and see which you prefer. I tried out Runkeeper, Cardiotrainer, and Endomondo. I…

Fantastic! Glad you enjoyed it!

I love my doggies. :love: I have 2, Lindsay a 17 year old Basset Hound and Blue a Miniature Schnauzer. The Basset is too old to walk much, but Blue loves to walk and run, so he comes out with me on my runs. And if I'm tempted to skip a day, he harasses me until I get off my butt and take him out, so he's keeping me active!…
