Getting healthier and fitter isn't just about the number you see on the scale. Are you taking measurements? I'd also recommend taking before/after pictures so you can see your progress in a more complete way. Sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but that doesn't mean you're not losing inches ;)

False I've never done skydiving

yuuuuuuuuummmmm! hahaha

Anytime between 4pm-12am :)

Do you mean something like this? http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running haha I also get the "lucky you, you don't have to worry about what you eat!" every once in a while; but that's not why I run. I run because I enjoy it, because I like to challenge myself and this is one hell of a way to do it. Running is part of a…

Wow, that's such an inspiring story! Congratulations for keeping it up! I've just dared to do a half marathon... wow, really, wow. You're so awesome!

Hello! I'm Monica, I'm 23 and I'm from Guatemala. I started running in February this year, and last Sunday I ran my first Half Marathon :D I'm doing another HM in January next year and another one in May... and I'll also be in training for a 10K sub60 min.

When you tell your friends you can't go out with them because it's "pre-race week..." and you don't feel bad about it, because you actually prefer to stick to your plan than going out with them anyway...

So true :( haha

-You categorize your music as "i can/can't run to that" -Most of your playlists are about running... and each one is specific for a certain kind of race or pace -It actually hurts when you're not able to do a long run the week before a HM -You plan your life around your running training plan -You have a specific drawer for…

I usually repeat "do this for your *kitten*!" whenever I go out for a hilly run :laugh: Although deep down, I know it's to make me a better runner

You could look for a different route, or you could also look for a group of early runners. If these aren't viable options for you... maybe running a little later isn't such a bad idea. If you're training for a race that starts at 8am, you'll be more used to a warmer weather! I agree with what some have said before... If…

I wash my hair every other day. My hair is kinda dry, so it doesn't get greasy after a day, but if it does, I use dry shampoo. When working out, my favorite hairstyles are braids, ponytails and buns. Something I can't do without is bobby pins!

I had one egg, bacon, black beans, some bread and a cup of coffee :D

@adrianachiara Well, you do look pretty younger. I'd have said early 30s

I'm in as well! :D

I take 2g of aspirin if I'm in severe pain. If I'm not, I run A LOT.

You look very different! keep it up, congrats! :D

Don't shave. Beards make you guys look so much more handsome and hot. If you have to shave from time to time, I looooove the stubble.

2 or 5... I liked #5 better tbh :)

Hello, I'm also a runner and I'd love more running friends :)

I used to be a 38/40 D, and now I'm back to a C cup. I'm a 34/36 (depending on the bra) and I hope they stay like this forever because they're perfect now! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: I'm not sad about them getting smaller. I'm really happy TBH. However, If I shrink to a B cup (which I don't think will happen) I will…

Hell yes. I think my Android has had to do A LOT with my new let's-be-healty-and-fit-lifestyle. I use it to track my running and cycling with RunKeeper, and I've trained for a 10K and a 21K with that app's plans. I just signed up for a Sub 60min 10k, scheduled to start the week after my half. :happy:

I like doing both, and I enjoy each of them in very different ways. I feel they've helped me become better at both sports. :smile:

If you set your MFP to sedentary, lightly active, very active or whatever, Fitbit only calculates the difference between what you expected to burn via BMR during the day and what they calculate you burned, based on how many steps you took. The more active you set your account here, the lesser amount of "credit calories"…

I got myself a pair of Philips earbuds, and I use them when running or cycling. They don't fall off, and I love the button it's got, so I can pause/skip the song playing in my phone if I need to :P…

I love Ripped in 30 :)

Every time I get a new PR when running... that sure's addicting!

bump for later

Yes I've owned some of these :D and they all fit now! Some of them are even loose! wohooo! Right now I have a gorgeous green dress and a pair of size 8 jeans that are too tight. :P
