I’ve been back for a few months and all of my old friends are inactive. I could use some new friends, feel free to add me.

I'm here!

Thanks dixiech1ck. I had never run any official races over 5k. My practice runs are long, I regularly do the Art Museum loop. I finished in 2 and a half hours.

I will be doing the Broad Street Run this year with Students Run Philly Style. We will start waay in the back which is good for me so I don't get in anyone's way. I'm a new runner and this is my first time running anything over a 5k. My goal = I won't finish last! :-)

Don't worry, we got this! I'm not thinking of this as an actual race, more like a fun workout

Hi! I'm in your area and I love walking

Hey Liz, Congratulations on the 20lb loss! I know how hard it is to stay motivated, but I found that if I rely on other people for the motivation I would stay disappointed. I was stood up so many times for exercise dates that I'm used to it now. I actually joined a few groups on another site to find more people in the area…

This thing hurt my feelings LOL Your numbers Obesity Index 29bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Above average You have a higher BMI than 51% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 84% of females aged 30-44 in the world Did you know? If…

Welcome back! Never give up

I am annoyed by this one, "I don't want to lose too much weight. I just want to lose my belly" I find the most annoying people who are trying to lose weight are the ones who think it's their place to tell everyone else what and how to do it (without anyone asking) I do what works for me, you do you.

I get a lot of the same annoying comments that others have posted, but I will make my list: "You look good, BUT don't lose anymore" (sorry, didn't know I needed your permission) "I didn't know that was you, soon I won't be able to see you" (really, I'm invisible now?) "Well, jeez! How MUCH are you trying to lose?" (as much…

Over. Have you ever seen a courtesy fold? Exceptions can be made for people with children or cats...They can switch it back when I leave LOL

^THIS

OMG, I'm drooling. This is sooo good LOL

Liar Liar Unfaithful *kitten* Waiting to Exhale

I'm really confused. You lost 10 lbs in two months and some days...how long has it been since you stopped seeing a loss? How much are you trying to lose per week?

never mind

I'm waiting for an answer to this one

Great story! Congratulations and thanks for sharing

I was in a relationship for 12 years (silly me) and I've been single for 2 years now. I've been on three disastrous dates this year. I'm almost ready for my rocking chair and cats LOL

I like this one

Hi all! I'm 5'1" and I would like to lose another 20-30 lbs. My daily calorie goal is set at an initial 1200 calories, but I eat more when I exercise. I'm currently trying to walk for 30 minutes per day during the week and add an in at least one hour of other activity on the weekend. I've never tried to lose more than 1 lb…

That's great! Edited to say I'm proud of you as well. I can't run at all, but I'm up to walking 5 miles :smile:

one love

shadus is the man :-) OP - everyone has given you really good advice. Eat more and/or exercise less. Good luck!

Good job on getting over your hatred for math :laugh: I double majored in Accounting and Finance (A.A.S. degrees) and then I went back to school and received B.S. degrees in Accounting and Business I also did a stint at a country club as an Assistant Controller where I gained experience in all areas

Philly!

This is funny but I'm glad you're "So sorry" Apology accepted LOL And again, you missed the point, 1200 cals is NOT for everyone but for some it is fine. Whoooo Hooooo.

If your TDEE is 1700, then .5/week weight loss would be 1450 cals, NOT 1200 :flowerforyou: [/quote] Is that the only thing wrong with what I posted? The point was don't tell someone 1200 is wrong
