  • Great ideas! I have trouble with planning, but I want to improve...thanks for the encouragement. :)
  • Did you see this thread? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1157823-pear-sports-with-mfp-integration?hl=pear+app#posts-19291521 I did a 'pear app' search and got that thread and yours... Not a lot on here about pear...not sure why. It is a connectable app. Message me or reply if you ended up getting it. It seems…
  • Yes to both! I agree wholeheartedly! :) I consider it 'me time'. I get to be alone and just be.
  • I have been vegetarian for over 20 years, but vegan less than a year, although I usually describe myself as plant-based to those in the know...I am not very detailed with it, but I do read labels and avoid eating dairy, eggs, and meat. :) I focus on whole foods. My diary is open. Feel free to add me if you wish! :)
  • You can add me! I have been a vegetarian for about twenty years. I recently transitioned to a vegan diet a little less than a year ago. I focus on eating a plant based diet that includes mostly whole foods with as little processing as possible. I do love cereal and bread, but I try to find brands that have ingredients that…
  • I bet the Disney marathon would be fun! I have done one marathon (so far), and it was cold and kinda boring (no spectators), but I met a cool running friend, so not a total loss! You can friend me if you like. I love to run and am training for another marathon (hopefully this March!). :)
  • I have watched that movie too. I don't think that is realistic for most people. I agree with making small sustainable changes. I look back at my 'journey'. I used to live on tater tots and pizza rolls when I first got married. I just made lunch now, and I am eating a whole plate of fresh cut veggies with a romaine lettuce…
  • Hello! I have a full marathon on March 1 and either a full or a half on April 27. I did my first marathon this past December so I am fairly new to training, but I survived the first and loved it! Feel free to message me if you would like. I live in Tucson, AZ so we would definitely be virtual! I struggle sometimes to get…
  • This. Awesome. I agree. Less than a week after my first marathon, I had picked out my second one. Currently training now. I write every projected run/workout on my calendar and circle when completed. I just wrote a list of goals for the next 10 days of winter break. :) Yay for goals!
  • I love number 4. :) I want to add that one to my list. :)
  • I find that I still feel fat a lot too. I know that we are not alone. A lot of people do. It is really funny because it took me a long time to feel fat when I gained a bunch of weight in college (although I 'felt' fat like so many girls in high school, but I was never more than a size 8). Finally I got to the point that I…
  • I am a lifetime WW member. I ended up on MFP because I went over my WW goal and didn't want to pay to get back. I am now below my WW goal. I attend meetings about 1-3 times a month depending on how busy I am. I lost 80 pounds with WW. Oh, and I am 5'5" tall female. My starting WW weight was 222 pounds with a goal of 142.…
  • Very cool! You are an inspiration! I am working in that direction too. I have ran a bit over five miles without stopping so far. Thanks for sharing and great job! :)
  • I think it is cool that so many people said Harry Potter. Modern classic! Here are mine: Harry Potter (of course!) A Separate Peace by John Knowles Lord of the Rings Those are the ones that I have re-read several times. I also think anything by Patrick Carman is great if you are into YA. Plus he has a great personality. I…

  • I love all the responses so far. I am challenged to make things from 'scratch' sometimes. My life gets so hectic and it is easier to make a Boca burger sandwich...but for a little extra time, I can have veggies and rice with beans. I tend to eat on the run too much. When I get back from vacation, I want to follow some of…
  • This. I think it is in human nature to judge. For everyone saying, "don't judge", well, try not to judge, but that's what we do. I used to judge skinny people when I was fat, now I judge fat people since I am slim...I do try not to, and I do keep my thoughts to myself, but I think human mind's jump to those things. I have…
  • I have really enjoyed reading everyone's responses! Here is mine: 0: Are you are strict vegan, ethical vegan, or strict vegetarian, or other? Strict vegan diet. Ethical vegetarian, but I haven't done the research necessary to have a vegan home (cruelty free home products) 1. How has your health changed since your…
  • I have decided on some ambitious goals for June, but I am on summer vacation so my fitness is going to be a priority! Here are my June goals: 30DS 2x a week Cardio 2x a week - either the Biggest Loser cardio max video or a different similar cardio video 58 total miles of running to train for half marathon I wish everyone…
  • I can relate! I am 35. For me, I lost 80 pounds when I was 30 and became frustrated at things like loose skin, stretch marks, etc. I got 'off the wagon' a bit so to speak and gained back about 25 pounds. That was silly. Even with loose skin and stretch marks, I look really great with cute small size clothes. This time…
  • This. I LOVE bread. And it is so easy to make a sandwich, but I lose better if I have only one serving of that kind of thing a day. I usually have half a serving of cereal at breakfast and then another half or full serving of either bread or pasta (whole wheat) later. I eat a ton of veggies and beans, but I really love…
  • This. I decided to weigh myself every day and log it every day. I started to see trends. Now when I go up a few pounds, I know that I am usually going to go down by a bunch soon. I just keep doing it despite the number. I have been working on not having the number affect me. It isn't perfect, but it is much worse when I…
  • Definitely use the search function. Has helped me a ton. I would research cutting simple carbs, eating more veggies and protein, intermittent fasting, lifting heavy if I were you. I am back at my Weight Watchers goal weight and now working toward an ultimate goal weight, but really just eating super healthy and exercising.…
  • I borrowed my mom's HRM with the chest strap and it wasn't a big deal at all. It might be because I'm a girl though. Easy to just wear right underneath my bra. I am used to having something on my chest in that spot anyway. I barely noticed it. I am also interested in buying one of my own though, so I want to see if anyone…
  • My baby is 36 pounds! Well, she's four years old now, so not really a toddler...lol..time flies! She always wants to sit on my back when I do planks! Ugh! Today we both weighed ourselves and I am exactly 101 pounds heavier than her now. Hopefully it will get less too. :) I have a goal to be under 130.
  • Planks are great! I have been pushing myself to increase my time. I use my phone stop watch lying beneath me to time it. I coach cheer at my middle school, so it is really motivating for me that I can do better than any of my girls! I am in MUCH better shape than any of them! It is also fun to encourage them to try harder…
  • I have tried to have days where I eat only 1/2-1 serving of a 'carb' type food. It think it does help to switch things up like that. It is hard for me though because I LOVE bread! And rice, and crackers, and cereal, etc... Fortunately, I also love eating all types of beans, veggies, and fruits. I have had good luck with…
  • Neither device is a heart rate monitor. Both are high tech pedometers with a few extra features. I have researched a TON of these type devices. I have decided to do more research and get a heart rate monitor, but I might wait a bit and get an amiigo since these actually seem to measure more than just steps... Here is the…
  • Don't forget sluts! They need some lovin' and attention too! (pun intended)
  • I find the opposite is true...it seems like I can't eat cauliflower soon enough before it goes bad. It always seems to develop little spots that I find icky, which is a bummer because I love cauliflower! So....usually I just buy the frozen variety... But maybe I should just buy a fairly decent looking head one of these…
  • Oregon Trail rocks!
