LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a great story! And you guys look years younger too!

Sadly, I don't have any stories to tell, but one of my MFP friends once posted about a woman on the treadmill wearing a puffy vest and drinking a 20oz Pepsi!

This is one of my MFP friends. She is a beachbody coach. Check out her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/abansil

I'm addicted to coke --- McDonald's Coke, that is. That's my sugar addiction. I get a large one (because they're only $1, right) almost every morning. I've kicked the habit a few times, but it just keeps calling me back. Disclaimer: I'm (semi) joking about my McDonald's Coke "addiction" in this reply, but that in no way…

I hated it too and, believe me, I tried a bunch of different kinds. I finally found one I can tolerate, though. Dannon Lite & Fit Greek in vanilla is pretty good. I have it with blackberries for breakfast or when I'm craving something sweet. It doesn't leave your mouth feeling dry and chalky like the other ones I've tried…

Nice job! Since you're a gamer (or former gamer), you might be interested in nerdfitness.com. It's a cool site and there is a lot of great info there. Keep up the great work!

Oatmeal. I really have tried to like it, but just can't. It's a texture thing.

You look fabulous!

Yeah, what he said! ^^

Thanks for this post. I'm running my first 5k on May 11th - Color Me Rad. Everyone is giving really great tips.

And you did ask if it helps with weight loss. Just sayin'.

Do what works for you and stop labeling what other people choose to do as "bad" or "good". Can't we all just get along?

I toss veggies in olive oil with a little minced garlic, sea salt and pepper. Simple and delicious!

It's not on MFP, but for some real inspiration, check out the link below. This woman went from 170 to 117, started lifting and went from 131 to 142 and looks amazing at 142. Includes pics. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/

I've tried just about every one in the grocery store, but just couldn't like any of them till I found Dannon Light & Fit Greek. I like the vanilla (haven't tried the other flavors). It doesn't have that chalky aftertaste that some Greek yogurts have and all the macros are pretty comparable to the others.

LOL, so true! I'm still trying to lose the baby weight from my first child....and he'll be 30 next year! You look awesome!!!!

Love deadlifts! If you can't run stairs, can you walk hills? The "rolling hills' setting on the treadmill at my gym makes my booty sore for days!!!

What she said...................................wait, what were we talking about?

Don't know what number you're up to, but I am actually scheduling mine this week!

LMAO!

I started out just walking and trying to increase my speed, miles, etc. Fortunately, I love being outside in the fresh air and sunshine so it wasn't too hard to get my butt out there and do it in the beginning.

The DeVinyls - I Touch Myself. :tongue:

I've tried the C25k phone app, but I had better success with the Run Fat B!tch, Run method. Ruth Fields, the author, has you create a 3 mi loop from your front door, through your neighborhood, and back (I prefer a park near my home that has a 1 mi loop already). You do a 10 minute warm-up walk, run for 5 minutes, then…

I really only pay attention to how many calories my HRM says I burned.

He lost me when he said squats were a terrible exercise "choose" instead of choice.

There is a really funny book out there called "Run Fat B!tch Run" by a Brittish author named Ruth Fields that got me running/jogging.

Stretch marks suck, that's for sure. But, they will fade in time. There are some great make ups out there for people with birth marks, etc. that I'm sure would work for your stretch marks. You're looking great BTW!

LMFAO! Well said!!
