Keeping it private doesn't mean you are cheating or hiding anything. I had it open for a while, and decided I was tired of the lame and very generic "way to go!" comments every time I posted. So, I have completely eliminated it and now it doesn't even show up in my feed when I complete it.

I don't like cake - so it's not a temptation for me.

I think everyone has an idea of what works for them. Personally, I am training for a marathon and it's one of my goals. I like to really push myself and see how far I can go. I am fit enough to be able to run circles around my 20 something children, and that makes me feel pretty darn good!

I also struggle with this problem and have tried many types!! Twice I was sucked in to buying the variety they sell at the Fitness Expos prior to marathon events with promises that they won't fall out - they lie! I don't run with a phone, so blue tooth isn't an option for me, but I think I will have to buy some over the…

I'm a pronator also, but learned this very early by buying my shoes at a running store with staff trained to assist in assessing my needs as opposed to me buying the "pretty" shoes I picked out myself. ! I have been able to avoid injury by following their advice. Would never buy shoes for running long distances without…

I'm a runner currently training for both a half marathon (June 23) and my first full marathon (Oct 13). I'm always looking for fellow runners to motivate and be motivated by. Please feel free to add me.

Tosca Reno has some good recipe books as well as recipes online.

Marie Osmond had an impact on me

I make hummus all the time and it's super fast and easy. Don't peel the beans. Either used canned and ready to go, or soak the dried ones over night, cook them in the morning and then use them if you want some without the sodium. Making hummus shouldn't take more than a few minutes

Anything salty and crunchy - (potatoe chips are the worst!) but as long as I don't have them in my house, I won't go out of my way to get them. I also love beer - and, coincidentally - they go great with what?.... That's right! Potatoe chips !! lol:wink:

You should be very proud of the new you, and not so hard on the "old you" since she did have the courage to start! Congratulations!

I'm here !!

I'm a Canadian living in Mexico. I am about 15 minutes outside of Playa Del Carmen on the Riviera Maya

I weigh myself in the morning and in the evening just so I can watch the fluctuations. I admit I am addicted to weighing myself because when I do not - I tend to not be as careful with my foods.

False. I'm still laying in it! TNP has brown eyes

You look fantastic !! Thanks for posting the pics !!

I personally don't worry about eating my calories back. I use a BodyFit Media device that gives me the accurate count of how many calories my body has really burned not only during exercise but also in just normal routine throughout the day. I base my food intake on the planned deficit of 500 - 750 calories per day. This…

You did such a great job and your determination will carry you through to success whether you are picked or not!

Nice Skin

The feeling of accomplishment I know I'll feel when I'm done. Also, music helps a lot!

No worries about "wasting away" etc with a vegan diet. There are plenty of websites out there that show that we can, and do train, compete and thrive on this sort of meal plan. There is a supportive website called "NO MEAT ATHLETE" that is worth checking out. Don't worry about what others say or think - it really has…

I wouldn't plan such a day. I can't imagine eating that many calories even when I was eating whatever I wanted to. I am quite sure i would feel very ill having consumed that much.

With avocado and nuts being "good" fats, I wouldn't worry as much as if it was other types. But, if you want to try to change up what you eat and lower your fat consumption there is a great website that I use for recipe ideas. http://fatfreevegan.com
