Naturally, a lot depends on age, health, etc. I have two kids and it took about 6 months to get pregnant for each. I had them at 31 and 34. From what I understand, it is recommended to try for about a year before a doctor would consider any type of intervention (but I could be wrong about that!) Best of luck!

I love Brooks... I just got the Brooks Adrenaline 14. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon and they have been awesome.

Add away! Best of luck to you! I just started using the forums and adding friends recently. It truly helps and both are great sources of motivation!

Keep it within the calorie limit and all good! I love a cold beer or glass of wine at the end of the day!

Feel free to add!

Congratulations on your admirable goal of getting healthy again as is the goal for all on this forum. However, I would be fearful of placing an aggressive weight loss goal with an additional aggressive timeline given your history with an eating disorder. This sounds like a recipe for returning to unhealthy behaviors.…

Feel free to add! I just read your bio. Thank you for your service!

39 - working mom - looking to lose about 15-20. I have a bad habit of doing great for a while and then BOOM.... lose all motivation. Feel free to add, I could use the help!

Flavored seltzer. Nice alternative and very refreshing!

I didn't read all the responses, so I apologize if this was already stated. When I run, I am in my own little selfish world trying to get fit and listening to my music. It's my happy time. I don't think I would think twice about anyone who runs past me. However, that being said... and a bit contradictory of what I just…

No. That's what I mean about not being perfect. There is an entry for a 9 oz tossed salad. I choose that with whatever dressing I use. I only use veggies in my salads. So I figure if I am a decimal or two off because of an extra carrot piece, I don't let it bother me. Naturally, if I ever would put croutons, cheese,…

Sure! Baked chicken with a salad, baked fish, steak. Usually with a side of salad. I always stick to the listed serving size for the dressing. I'm sure not everything is perfect, but I try to make it as close as possible.

I think like anything else, I try my best. If I'm making myself a sandwich for work, I do so the night before. I weigh the meats, cheese, and log the bread. Then I can log my lunch at any point. Weighing food at dinner is relatively easy. It only takes a few seconds. If I'm out to dinner... that's different. I'm not…

At McDonalds I get the classic grilled chicken without mayo. Then I ask for a side of BBQ sauce and put half of it on the sandwich. Naturally, avoid the fries. That's the hard part. Although if you really want the fries, order a small and split them with someone. My husband and I do that sometimes when we have McD's.

Fra Divalo. Netflix binge watch?

I'll be 40 next year as well! Feel free to add!

I usually eat a chobani and 1/2 banana when I first get to work. Logs about 160 calories. I eat more on the weekends because I can go for longer runs and exercise more on weekends - this morning I logged about 300 calorie breakfast with 2 eggs and even a muffn! With my increased exercise, I still came in at a calorie…

Way to go! Very inspiring!!

Got it! Thans for your help!

Will do! Next time!!

Thanks everyone! :smile: I just wanted to see what I can do... I did 6 miles on the treadmill without hill training. Now that I know I can do the distance, I plan to rest tomorrow and work on smaller runs with hills. Naturally, following all of your advice in the process. I'm really excited. This is a race that I've wanted…

Thanks! I'm actually just focused on finishing, as this is only my first one. I run about 9 minute miles now. Hoping to finish somewhere around one hour. I think that is relatively realistic. I love having a goal to keep me motivated!!!

Honestly, it depends on your pain. I did that once and it hurt just to walk. If you are in a lot of pain, you need to rest or it will only get worse and perhaps tear. Be careful. Good luck! Calf pan is NOT fun!

Thanks everyone. I know... to some it seemed like a silly question. Appreciate the feedback. TO answer someone else's question... I had a small bottle of water as well. I know 2 pounds shouldn't make a difference.. we all have our things, I guess. Thanks again!!!

Thanks. I actually stayed off the scale recently (I try to only weight once a week), so I was surprised by the lower number at the dr's office. I'll stick with 140. That's about where I thought I would be. Thanks!

Vodka is typically 65 calories per ounce. I often use this to mix with some seltzer to avoid the calories with wine (my favorite!). 10 vodka drinks is kind of scary, but who am I to judge! As I write this, I am having my wine. I managed to work it into my 1350 calorie day while remaining under for the day. Also ate three…

Just sent an add requst!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Goodfellas, Frozen (thanks to my kids), Breakfast club, Sixteen Candles, (ok... any John Hughes movie), Top Gun, Caddyshack!,
