What a wonderful post! Enjoy your baths!

Fantastic!

Ardha chandrasana (half moon) and suppta baddha konasana

I also have had PF. I went to a podiatrist who recommended support shoes for running, not walking around barefoot, and gave me a cortisone shot, which did eventually make the pain go away. I stopped running when life got in the way, and every time I try to start again I either get PF or some other affliction, or my asthma…

I love my snacks too. Like the others, I agree that having protein with every meal/snack does help keep you full longer, although it does sound like you're already mostly doing that. I also drink a lot of water (with the added bonus that I get exercise walking to the restroom every two hours :smile: ) I make individual…

I am also 4'11 and used MFP to attain my goal weight 5 years ago. Since then, I've managed to gain 20 back. Even 5 pounds can affect how my clothes fit! Add me if you like. I'm trying to log and do something active every day, although getting back in the habit is proving to be difficult this time around.

HIIT -- you can even do it on the treadmill if that's what you enjoy.
-
Hi Christy, you can add me if you like. I am on MFP every day.
-
wow, you are beautiful. ignore the haters.

Maybe snack on vegetables instead? Hummus is vegan and sugar-free and goes great with cut veggies. Nuts make good snacks as well.

On the mobile app, select Nutrition from the hamburger button ≡. There are three tabs: Calories, Nutrients, or Macros -- you want to see Calories. You can choose Day View, Week View, or Change Date from the pulldown -- you want Week View. It will default to the week ending on Friday, but I always change the date to have…

sometimes I find a hot cup of green or herbal tea will curb my hunger and improve my mood at the same time.

i can spend a month REALLY meeting my calorie goal, exercising, choosing healthy foods, etc., and only lose one pound. i had to learn not to beat myself up about it. ... and i just want to reach in and pet Bronson's soft little head. adorable.

started practicing yoga at 43, running at 49, and other things in between that didn't stick as well -- tai chi, nia, strength training, swimming -- but to which I occasionally return. yoga and running completely changed me. have fun!!

1. when i talk to my girlfriends about a problem i have, they will generally be sympathetic and supportive. when i talk to my husband, he will generally try to come up with solutions. usually i just want sympathy. if i needed a solution, i would ask, but he doesn't think that way. not stereotyping, but it is not an…

a mile and a half is awesome, at any pace! when i first started running, i thought i would die after running one minute, even at a slow pace. don't worry about how fast you're going... just keep running and one day you'll realize your speed has increased without you even trying.
-
you might try a little change-up in your cardio routine -- HIITs instead of steady runs, some strength training, dancing, playing tag with your kids...
-
counting calories, preplanning and prelogging meals, weighing food when i can and measuring when i can't, drinking 8-10 cups of water throughout the day, eating three meals and two snacks with protein each time.
-
i am also back after gaining some weight (foot injury, laziness). add me if you like!
-
i can never calorie restrict when i'm training for a half, because otherwise i am rungry All The Time. i find that on long run days, my net calories are way lower than goal, but the next two days after that i want to eat everything in sight. those are the days i have to work really hard to maintain.
-
oh my goodness, i didn't even see you, even though we are in the same boat. i stopped running for a few months due to illness, and it put me in a weird funk. a few weeks after i started running again, i finally started feeling 'normal' again. i, too, was running long runs up to 9-12 miles when training for half marathons,…

Slow down, enjoy the scenery. Focus on your form instead of your pace. Feel the sun on your face, the wind at your back. Keep your pace slow enough to be able to hold a conversation. :smiley:
-
what works for me (sometimes) is planning my weekend meals and preparing them ahead. sometimes i'll give in to temptation, but i can usually stop at one slice.
-
i experienced the same thing. first i lost breast size, which i was bummed about, but eventually my waist and hips started slimming, and finally my thighs. don't lose hope... keep going!
-
vegan here. i choose salads with spinach & kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli; chickpeas, lentils, edamame; whole grains, bulgur wheat, oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa. walnuts, peanuts. hummus.
-
same boat here. it took four years of running and diligent calorie restriction to lose 15 pounds, and in the last year i gained it all back. AAARGH!
-
i am also 4'11". in my opinion you look fantastic! when i weighed in the 130's i was wearing tops in L or M and size 8/10 pants, and now that i'm within the suggested BMI range i'm M or S tops (broad shoulders) and 4/6 pants (wide hips). i don't expect to go much smaller than that, although i can fit into some XS running…

i get the giant bag of that stuff from costco and eat a quarter of the bag at a time. 315 calories -- for a filling, fiber-full, protein-full meal.
