so great!!

I live in the city so I run around the neighborhood which can get a little hard at times (because everyone is always walking around) but there's enough sidewalk that it works. When I'm at home in the suburbs I can also run around the neighborhood. There's plenty of room and no need to drive somewhere else unless I want a…

I'm happy to say I beat my 5K goal yesterday!! I wanted to run it in 35:00 and I ran it in 34:55!! So excited!

I use body butter. It works really really well!!

Thanks everyone! Your support means the world :)

I thought about using that but I just signed up on Monday and it's on Thanksgiving! So not a ton of time (i've been running for awhile now though) Any good songs? Workout Apps? Any help would be appreciated!!

You look fantastic!!

Anyone have any good training techniques??

I was just talking to my co-workers and I am going to work towards a goal of running a marathon! Gotta start somewhere though right? :smile:

I'm running my local turkey trot too! So excited.

I'm a senior and a web design student. I took my senior project class this quarter and basically get to take electives the rest of the year. I'm officially done with my major :)

Also, what types of foods do you guys like to eat after a morning workout??

Hmm interesting results! I'll have to try it out and see what makes me feel stronger. I felt pretty good working out without any food in and then eating after.

300 cals would be enough if you eat a couple small meals a day. How many cals are you allowed? 900 is over half the amount i'm allowed in a day so that would be hard. I actually don't like subway cheese so i'm in luck!

Hey! I usually get the 6" turkey on wheat bread with veggies. NO Cheese NO mayo etc. and I eat it with some baked chips and water. It usually comes out to less than 300 cals which is awesome!

Well I'm a college kid so I have a hard time cooking meals all the time since i'm constantly on the go. I guess I thought that it was a good fast food option. It seems to have been working for me...

True. I mean I'm not eating it everyday! But I eat it multiple times a week. I ususally get turkey on wheat bread with NO cheese or mayo etc. and veggies. I also eat it with baked chips or no chips at all and water! I think it's doing me well :)

I've found that i've gained weight on MFP though...so weight watchers may be worth a shot??

Yes!! I used to get this salad at Quiznos...and it had over 1000 calories!!! I always thought since it was salad it was good for me..but I was wrong! I could have had 2 pieces of pizza instead!

When I see food I really want I can't help but indulge! It's not good :(

I'm out to lose 40 pounds too :) You can add me if you'd like!

I saw a picture of myself one day and realized how big I had gotten. I then compared it to a picture of when I was at my skinniest. I cried A LOT but then I finally got my butt in gear. That was really my turning point. Now I keep the two pictures posted in my bathroom mirror asking myself if I worked out today and keeping…

20..almost 21 here! add meee!

I just see my body as SO much bigger then it really is. I've always been like this. I don't know how to get rid of it
