Unless you're one of those people who saves the pulp and makes "healthy muffins only 6 calories each!!!!!!!!" :huh:

This will make me seem like a b!tch, but I've actually unfriended someone who overinflated their calories ALL THE TIME. I asked her about it, and she was all, oh yeah, I really did spend six straight hours climbing stairs with boxes in my hands. Day after day after day. It was cluttering up my newsfeed, she was delusional,…

I know I won't meet my goal, but I haven't included my times on the elliptical or swimming laps. I was resting my legs & today's the first day I felt ready to get back out there and run. I restarted week 2 of the c25k program. I think I made the right choice.

"i think whenever someone comes in to a forum and says "ok so i'm actually different from the rest of you" it DOES sound somewhat elitist and the natural reaction from people is either "so what are you doing here" or "actually no, you aren't that special" Now add to that the very personal and difficult nature of weight and…

*In* because now people are talking about chocolate and chocolate is relevant to my interests.

It took a few tries for me, too. I finally used the patch and had great success. I don't remember the last time I smoked, but it's been at least 18 months. Good luck!

tl;dr Fit Girl (whispering to boyfriend): Hey, don't look now, but that family behind us has those lo mein noodle dinners that we bought last month and played 9 1/2 weeks with in the kitchen at your dad's house! Remember? OMG, I cannot believe we did that! Fit Boyfriend (glancing at cart, turns to fit girlfriend): I know,…

Like someone else said, yes, it does ask you after every 10 pounds lost, if you want to re-calibrate your goals. Something else I noticed the other day about exercise calories, not that I believe MFP accurately estimates it, but every time I work out, doing the same thing, for the same amount of time, at the same…

Just for today: I will allow myself to stop and appreciate what my body has already allowed me to do and how far I've come down this road, instead of berating myself that I can't do more yet.

Doing my first in September! I keep getting all these beautiful color-filled pictures on my fb feed. I'm getting really excited!
-
Oh my word, I could have written your post myself. I made it all the way to week 3 day 1, before my poor shins and my knees crapped out. I am so mad at my own body. My 5k is in September, too. I found that ibuprofen and icing my legs for 30 minutes at the end of a workout helped me tremendously. It takes that "fire on the…

Log it as the plain lemon tea and move on w/ your life.

Thanks for the input. I am doing most of these things...now. But, my first week, I did not. I think that's where it all started. I'm taking a week off, just doing the elliptical, and we'll see where things are at then.
-
I started running once I'd lost 60 lbs (down from 281). For me, it hasn't been enough. I am on week 3, day 1, of the c25k program and I have decided to rest for at least a week. My legs & knees are absolutely killing me & I have a very high pain tolerance. I am so incredibly mad right now. I don't know why some can run &…

I've never heard of someone using water. I always use a splash of milk and an egg, maybe a bit of vanilla extract if I'm feeling saucy. :tongue:

This one's become my mantra when my runs get hard: "I'm still lapping everybody on the couch."

::raises hand:: And sometimes, I'll take it a step further and just go to bed early.

I'm still searching for this answer myself. But, what I suspect is that products labeled "Greek style" have added thickeners to achieve the consistency of traditional Greek yogurt, which is made by straining out the majority of the whey. I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me. I had to switch products because I thought…

Thank you, I will check out the supplements. I actually don't mind the tight fitting stuff. Just ordered more C9 gear. But maybe next time, I'll get an even smaller size to help w/ "dat bounce" lol!

Just finished Week 2 with the Zombies Run! app. My right knee is giving me fits and I've all the sudden developed shin splints this week. No matter. I got some good shoes, a knee brace, and I'm icing my legs after each run. I'm hoping this takes care of it. I signed up for the Color Run in September, too. It'll be my…

Admittedly, I didn't read the rest of the comments, so this may have already been said. Here's what I would do: Charge her only the difference in your utility bills and grocery bill. That's reasonable to me. She's my mom. Ideally, I wouldn't charge her anything. But, she's from the generation that firmly believes in paying…

I got rid of every last piece of "fat" clothing I had. I have a friend who's selling them on ebay. It's a nice little surprise to see my paypal balance go up every week. It's like a little mini reward for having lost that weight. I'm still losing weight. As I go down in size, I'll keep giving her the clothes to sell. In…

Even though I have my goal set at 1500, I usually come in under 1200. I set it higher because I run every other day and need the extra calories on those days. Anyone can add me, but please include a message with your request. Thanks! edited to say this: I am following my doctor's advice. In other words, I am being…

In for 60!

Two cups in the morning, with full fat raw cream and vanilla stevia. I drink water after that. I could give up my coffee, but we (the coffee and I) would miss each other terribly. :wink:

Congratulations! I love stories like yours because they show just how important it is to educate yourself and pay attention to your body. My dr had me on HBP medication once because I had a high reading at an appointment one time. No history of HBP, I was very healthy for a bigger girl. But he would have none of it. He…

Hubby's agency called this morning and laid him off OVER THE G-D PHONE! Seriously? Who even does that?

Blend equal parts w/ frozen fruit and a bit of sweetener, it's like ice cream!
