I have always wondered this as well. I say that you make up your own "races" and tell people you ran the "insert name here" half marathon. 13.1 is 13.1 race or no race. Congrats on your accomplishments!

I just found out what IIFYM meant yesterday and I am doing it. I don't refuse certain types of food or skip dessert or snacks, as long as I am in my daily MFP calorie goal then I consider it a good day. I think once you start limiting too much what you can or can't eat, certain foods become forbidden and you seem to want…

Thank you so much for sharing! You look so great! Congrats!

Congrats on your amazing journey! I love your attitude! Feel free to add me :D

Find a way to figure out your average pace then enter it as the amount of time at that pace. Most paces can be found in the database under MPH. Good luck with C25K!

Thanks for your response! Good to know I am not alone!

This. 1000 calories is ridiculously low and 800 seems like starving yourself. What is your current height and weight? I know that if I ate only 800 calories a day I would not be able to function. Maybe find a happy medium, like around 1200 or 1300?

Discussing it is fine, but asking about calories and all that is different. You will need support, but only after you seek out medical advice.

Please get professional help. A message board is not a hospital. We are not doctors (at least not most of us). Good luck with your journey.

Added you both :D My baby girl is almost 9 months old (!) and I am trying to get rid of these last 10-15 lbs!

Training for my 7th half marathon in October, the Urban Cow in Sac!

Welcome! Feel free to add me :D I am also trying to get rid of baby weight!

and those too...like, really?

Air popped popcorn with no butter or anything on it. I put it in my diary the other night and was like "what?!".

From what I understand which is not much because I think they are a load of you know what...they basically reduce your water weight. So you don't lose fat really...just water. I may be wrong, but that is my understanding. I think anything that is a "quick fix" is a waste of time and money but to each their own I guess.

I am sure you have heard this and it is annoying but true...it took 9 months to gain so it will take that long or longer to lose. It doesn't happen over night. Just keep at it and you can do it! My baby is 8 months old and I am just now finding the time and energy to county calories and exercise regularly. If you want to…
