Coconut water and apricots are two of my fave high potassium items. I do use a supplement daily as well. My potassium got so low I ended up in the ER. Never realized how "hard" it is to get a high enough potassium level. However, once supplementing my husband can even see a change in mood. If I do not supplement daily, I…

I scramble two eggs with one slice American cheese and 1/2 cup of fresh asparagus. I season with Italian seasoning. I stay full, get a good amount of protein and it tastes amazing! This is my fave go to breakfast. I didn't have it this morning, so I will probably have it for dinner! LOL!!

When I first started my journey (again, for the umpteenth time...) I didn't not see any loss the first few weeks. It was very disheartening and I was really upset about it. However, things did "catch up" and I've lost 42 pounds since 1 January. So...you can and will be able to do this, if you keep doing what you are doing…

I will NOT cut out coffee and chocolate. However, I did go from having coffee with a ton of sugar and over 4 servings of creamer to just having two servings of creamer and no added sugar in it! Big step and over time, but now I love it and take in way less calories. The only thing I really gave up completely is Mountain…

5"2' here and that is running for me as well! You are right, height/leg length and such should be taken into consideration.

I agree. One bad apple could very well end the gym going for someone with low self esteem. I think it's awful that people can be so cruel. If we don't start some where, we will never get to where we want to go. Very valid rant!

I have children ages 11 and 9 and they were very planned. I do not believe any child/pregnancy is an "accident." Any child is a gift, whether planned or not! Sure wish I could have talked hubby into baby 3!!

I would add at least 30 minutes of cardio a day if you aren't doing that already. That way, you will burn some calories without having to lower your cal setting. If you have access to a stationary bike, you can kill some calories in 30 minutes! If you have a Zumba game, that burns good cals in 30 minutes as well.…

Get my own horse. Go rock climbing Get some awesome photography of myself done Those are on my bucket list currently.

I have been at this since 1 January of this year, and I've yet to feel hungry. 1. I drink 16 ounces of water before every meal. 2. I have some protein at every meal. Those two things have kept me from being hungry at any point in my weight loss journey. I also do not deprive myself of anything. I have whatever I want and…

My main exercise is walking but I also run thanks to doing the Zombies Run 5K Training program. I'm so sorry you got a stress fracture! I have really been concerned about getting one and have been fortunate not to. I also do the squat challenge, plank challenge, and just started 30 Day Shred. I also have a pair of…

Yes, I would love to be in!

1 May: 3.2 miles! Bring on the challenge!!!!
-
Five days is NOT enough time to see results and you are already under goal weight. You do not need to lose any weight you need to tone up. I suggest adding in yoga, planks, and other core exercises. I've started taking up hula hooping, which is also supposed to help whittle the middle. Make sure you are eating enough…

My husband is supportive and loves the "new me!" He is happy that I am happy. However, he is insecure. He tells me quite honestly that he is afraid when I get to goal weight I will leave him for someone else. After 12.5 years, two kids, and a new home together I have no plans on looking elsewhere! LOL!
-
Fantastic! The kids and I did our first 5K this year. We ran half and walked half. It was an amazing feeling! Congrats on your Color Run, and congrats on taking your kids!!

I don't have an MFP blog, but I do have a blog here: http://www.ff2fb.blogspot.com that you can check out. :) Feel free to add me as a friend! I've lost 38 pounds since 1 January, and went from only being able to run 20 seconds in January to being able to run 3.1 miles. I'd say I'm pretty motivated! :) Now I have gotten a…

I drink lots of water and in the morning I sometimes have one cup of coffee with 2 measured servings of creamer. I quit soda cold turkey this year. I actually blogged about my experience here: http://www.ff2fb.blogspot.com/2013/02/kickin-my-addiction.html It was really hard for me. At one time, I was driking one liter of…

Okay, I have to say I can't run straight on a treadmill...or any where for that matter. Walking is not very straight either. I also roll my ankles, and have issues with stability. I did get some shoes made for stability and that helped tremendously. I did not have to run on a treadmill in order to be fitted. I ran a…

I must be following in your foot steps because I eat 2 eggs a day AND under 1800 calories a day and I've lost 38 pounds since 1 January! That advice is awful and poor. I hope your friend does not take that seriously.
-
I started running in February and literally could only go 20 seconds before wanting to die! So you are already waaaay better than me! I can now run a mile straight through and am continuing to push because my goal is to be able to run a whole 5K by October. I do not run on pavement but still got horrible shin splints.…

There were Newtown families there. Here is what I found: http://newtown.patch.com/articles/scores-injured-by-explosion-at-boston-marathon-finish-line-d3f4cc42 This is a horrific, cowardly act. I'm in tears, heartbroken for all of the victims, their families and their friends. Someone asked what went wrong in our country?…

If he would have said he wanted you to lose the weight so you would be as healthy as possible to have a long life with him, I would have worked hard to lose the weight. However, saying he wants you to lose weight so he can check you out like he does the thin girls...and that he doesn't want people looking at you both…

My friend posted on my Facebook about how my weight loss and fitness is inspring others! It made me cry!

I want to be able to run a whole 5K...aiming for October! I want to be able to go rock climbing and excel at it!!!

I love the Biggest Loser Bootcamp DVD and Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga...they both kick my butt and make me sweat. I walk A LOT and have even started jogging/running. I picked up some dumbbells (set of 5's, set of 8's) and do upper body strength training. My friend (who is a personal trainer) has me doing scissors and…

Sorry...this made me LMAO!!!! Buahahahaha!! Awesome!!!

I used to hate water and now I get my 8 glasses a day. As soon as I wake up, I drink 16 ounces of water and then have breakfast. I drink 16 ounces before each meal which puts me at most of my water for the day. Then I drink while exercising, and before bed. :)
-
NROLFW confused me as well and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!. I've been chicking out the SL 5x5 program and am really considering it. I just need to make it to the gym. I just started really emphasizing strength training this week as well.

I'm a huge animal lover and will take in any stray. I used to dance on a country line dancing team. I used to skydive. I love tattoos and think they are sexy on men and women. I have two, and want at least 3 more. My tongue is pierced. I took it out several years ago and never liked the feeling so had to have it redone to…
