Thank you for all of the information and advice. I am going to try to go as gluten free as I can and see if that makes a difference. I'm not doing this for weight loss. I am actually 9 pounds away from my goal. :) I just want to eliminate gluten for a while to see if it is a trigger for my Crohns.

I would train for a few weeks before the race. I started by running two minutes and walking one minute. After two weeks I could run two miles without stopping. Plus it's important to stretch before you run. I learned the hard way. Good luck!

Oooooh, sounds yummy. I will have to try it. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the advice and info. A lot to think about! :smile:

I was diagnosed with a mild case of Crohns last spring and I am trying to figure out what foods trigger my flare ups. I noticed a few weeks ago that I get bloated and exhausted after I have several foods that have wheat. Today I had bread and pasta. I feel like a balloon and haven't felt like doing anything. I may have to…

I am going into my 18th year of teaching. I currently teach 2nd grade. I eat better during the school year because I like the daily routine and I don't have the time during the day to snack. :smile: I have a fridge in my classroom that I stock with water, Jell-O, yogurt, fruit, and whatever else I can find that is healthy.…

Welcome! I'm from the south too. You can so do this. Feel free to add me and I will cheer you on. :)

It sounds like your body has become accustomed to your workout. Change it up. Have you tried circuit training?
-
Yay! I know you are excited. I did my first this past spring. It's too hot to do any right now. I am waiting until the fall to do another one. I started in the very back, with all the moms with the strollers. Big mistake. Took forever to get past them. Good luck!

lol, you made my day!

Yes, you could actually have several bottles of Corona with lime. lol

My boot camp instructor swears by this too. I gripe and groan but I am noticing an all over toning. lol

I have found going carb free makes me want to binge. I did try a gluten free diet for two weeks because of health reasons but I didn't notice any changes besides a little more energy, I have been stuck in a forever plateau and it is frustrating. If you are burning more calories than you are eating, you should be losing…

Great information! Thanks for posting it.

Well said! I'm a wagon rider. :)

Woot! Woot! That is fantastic!

Wow! Sounds like you have been through a lot! I'm from the southern US but feel free to add me if you need a friend to cheer you on. Good luck on your weight loss goals. :-)

I wasn't counting them until I saw how much sodium was in one packet. (Crystal Light) I gave it up and now I make a glass pitcher of ice water with fuit in it. A friend told me to add fresh strawberries and kiwi. It's yummy!

lol, you can always try putting a 5 lb weight on your scale just to make sure it's accurate. The fluctuating may be from water weight. I don't ever go by what MFP tells me. It is never right. Go by your scale and don't weigh yourself daily. It will drive you crazy! Choose a day and time to weigh each week. I weigh in on…

Sorry for all of your trouble. I think a lot of doctors are overworked (especially in the er) and you have to really double check everything. I found that out the hard way. I sometimes have to ask what they prescribed because of the terrible handwriting. . Give your body a few days to heal and recover. I drink a glass of…

What a jerk! Hopefully, he will fall off of his bike. hehehe

Some people need to get a life! You look great and you are doing awesome. Don't let one jerk bring you down. Congratulations! I know that you are excited about your wedding.

Bump for later! :)

I run much better on a treadmill in the air conditioner. I told you I'm a wimp.

Have you tried bodybuilding.com? I started using it this week. They have some great workout plans and it's free. You can do a lot of stuff with hand weights. I would get several different weights. You can do body dips if you have a sturdy bench or chair. I use my coffee table. lol

I live in the south and get ready for the heat and humidity. lol Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and choose veggies and anything that is grilled. Try to stay away from the fried foods. I know it will be hard. :sad: We have lots of seafood along the coast. Steamed or grilled will be much better for you. Pack lots of…

I'm 5'7 and I am down to 139. My goal weight is 130 but I don't think that I'm going to get there. It's been a struggle getting into the 130's. Good luck! :)
