Hi everyone, I'm Tricia and I live in Paris Tn. I started on MFP four years ago. I started at 185 and got down to 131. Now I have gained back TWENTY pounds and I can certainly feel it!!!! My main form of exercise is running, which I love!! My time and speed have slowed down since slowly gaining back the weight. Looking…

Throw in the towel or use it to wipe off the sweat!! Did this one on a shirt for my first half marathon I will step on you to win ~ another favorite

Trying this before running in the morning!! Thanks

I have several!!! Oats with Chocolate PB2 and a little agave. 225 calories and holds me easily for 3 hour 2 brown eggs scrambled with ff cottage cheese mixed in. I top this with black beans and diced tomatoes!!!

Absolutely!! So many people are dehydrated and the signal in the brain is the same. Increase your water intake and youll see your hunger go down.

YOU LOOK GREAT HONEY!! I AM DOWN ABOUT 55 LBS AND I HAVE 10 MORE TO GO. I HAVE USED THAT SAME QUOTE, "NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS" I USE TO HAVE IT POSTED ON MY ELIPTICAL MACHINE :) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

My next 1/2 is scheduled for May 11th, the Iron Mom half marathon. My goal is to beat my last years time of 2:16. This course is mostly flat, just a few hills, however it does cover lots of different terrain. Asphault, gravel, dirt, there is even a portion in a park where you run on mulch. My last half was in February of…

I have never eaten my calories back and have done well. However, if you are wanting to gain muscle, I think you definately need to eat them back. If you want to lose weight, try going with out them and uping your water intake. Works for me.

Thanks for the help with the speed work. Definately implementing some into my route!!

What type of speed work are you doing? I am willing to do what ever it takes to break 2 hours!!! Your help is greatly appreciated!!

I saw first hand what happens when you mentally trip yourself up in a run. Last saturday I did a half, there was a man pacing himself with me. Somewhere around mile 6 we were going along great, my garmin goes off and he says what pace are we running at Im aiming for 10 mile per minute, I told him we were running at 9:10,…

Great!! Thanks!! Doing a test on it in the morning so we will see.

ME TOOOO!!! ITS HORRIBLE! !

I will be running my third half marathon on april 21st. I did 2 in the fall of last year. I am aiming to beat my own best time of 2:04:45. I would really like to come in under 2 hours. I am getting very serious about my training. Watch food and getting plenty of workouts and running in!! I pray it pays off!!

I am also a runner and have had a few injury issues. The way i look at it is running is something i want to do long term so I need to take care of these injuries so they dont put me out of the game prematurely. Get it checked out. If you have a good doctor they will give you good advice that will pay off in the long run.…

If you have a smart phone you can down load a metronome app. it will beat according to how many bpm you set. Play with it til you figure out where your comfortable and then download the music that falls into that range. I have run races just using the metronome and have done fairly well. Good luck!!

If you really want to see the scale move, cut out processed foods and add asparagus and brussel sprouts. You will see a big difference!! I do eat a few things that are processed (i.e. cheerios and crunch master sesame seed crackers) but for the most part if its not fresh or frozen veggies I dont eat it!! This will work!! I…

I would defiantely go for it!! I know that you can over train but your body has a great way of letting you know when you are pushing to hard. I am doing a half april 21st and am starting p90x tomorrow. I hope to complete my half in under 2 hours. I believe stepping it up these last couple of weeks will only help me reach…

When you ask your husband for running shoes for valentines day!! Hold the chocolates honey, I want those asics!!

1 bag of 100 calorie popcorn and 1/2 a cup of peanut butter cheerios. Perfect!! Its salty and sweet and the crunch is satisfing!! Enjoy the show and know that your doing good!!

Get yourself some running capris!! I would recommend either under armour or nike has a great dri fit pair!! Trust me they are worth the investment!! They smoth everything out and keep things from shakin when they are not suppose to!!

I have confessed and even logged the food ........... then…
