Good morning everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say I just got done running 5 miles! I didn't do it fast, but at least I did it. It's a goal that 3 months ago I never would have thought I could achieve. And the icing on the cake --- no knee pain! I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Checking in for today... I was under cals again today. Me and my friend decided to brave the dreaded weight room. It was kind of packed, too. We'll have to go during a down time next time. And with a better plan of attack, but we got a nice little workout in. My cold is way better, too. The Zicam must've done the trick…

Yeah, it works. I've never used it in cookies, but I've used it in "fluffier" type recipes like cakes or breads. I don't notice a difference, still tastes great! It's a one to one ration, so if there's a Tbsp of oil just sub it for a Tbsp of applesauce. Which, when you compare it, is like 120 cals vs barely any. And less…

I noticed that too! The cinnabon cream of wheat comes up all the time! And ever since I logged Olive Garden one day, I keep getting ads from them. Oh the temptation!

I know how you feel. Whenever I'm doing the elliptical (I know...ditch the elliptical) I always look over to the weight area and have an internal argument with myself about whether or not to go over there. Which I never end up doing. It's very intimidating! I do get some lifting in once a week at a mostly all women class.…

1: 1 hr 25 min (walking, jogging) 2: 15 min (jump rope, arm strength) 3: 1 hr 50 min (jogging, Zumba, ZumbaTone) 4: 0 5: 2 hrs 5 min (walking, jogging, Zumba) Total: 5 hr 35 min

You'd be doing better than me. I have a bad habit of drinking calories that I haven't saved up : /

Good luck! Weekends are definitely tough, but making an appointment for a workout time sounds like a really good idea to make sure you follow through. I'll have to try that! Here's how my Monday went. I'm starting to get sick too, and my energy levels are way down. I planned to go to Turbo Kick tonight, but I'm pretty…

Hey guys! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend! Today was way batter for me. Maybe it was the combination of my hangover and the fact that I went 1350 over calories yesterday, but I really wasn't hungry at all today. So that gave me a chance to even out some of the damage done. I got a great workout in tonight. I decided to…

1: 1 hr 25 min (walking, jogging) 2: 15 min (jump rope, arm strength) 3: 1 hr 50 min (jogging, Zumba, ZumbaTone) Total: 3 hr 30 min

Do it, it's so much fun!

I love almond milk too! I tried the Silk PureAlmond unsweetened - 35 calories a glass! unbelievable Grapefruit Cottage cheese mixed with fruit - I always thought that sounded gross but it's actually yummy Raw broccoli Pink Lady apples - I'm really picky about apples but I am in love with this variety

So I pretty much messed up my whole week last night. Went downtown and drank, then got a Pickleman's sandwich at 2 when the bars closed. I logged it all this morning and ended up being over by 1365 calories yesterday. Pretty ridiculous. Today's a new day. I'll do my best.

Props to you! I sincerely wish I had the drive to do work out at 5:30 a.m. (or do anything besides sleep, for that matter). And congrats on the weight loss! Here's how my day's going. I did walk to campus and home today (it finally stopped raining, yay!) and went for a nice jog outside. I did 4.6 miles which is a new…

1: 1 hr 25 min (walking, jogging) Total: 1 hr 25 min

Day 2: The brunch buffet that my aunt wanted to take me to is only open on Saturdays and Sundays! Yay Me! And Yay for IHops "fit" menu items. It only cost me 350 cals and filled me up until about 4 ish. I found time for 30 Day Shred between class and work, so I had some calories saved up for margarita night. I still went…

I'm in :) Again!

3/30: 20 min (walking) 3/31: 20 min (30 DS) Total for March: 23 hours 1 hour short!!! I'll get it for April ;)

So Day 1 for me. Didn't go great. I went over by almost 500 cals. Wednesdays are super busy for me. Class in the morning, then work, then class again in the evening. Then my aunt came to visit, as she was passing thru on her way from TX to SD. So no time to work out. She insists on taking me to a buffet brunch tomorrow.…

There's definitely a difference! You look great! Way to stick to it!

Hey, I'm 21. i'll send you a friend request!

Hey guys! This looks like a great forum and I'd love to join if I'm not too late! I'm a 21 yr old college student. I'm at about 147 lbs right now and would love to make into the 130's (hopefully before June) and would just like to increase my overall strength and endurance. Here are my goals: 1) Stay off the scale. (I will…

I'm doing the one in Kansas City and I'm so excited! I wanna do the Tough Mudder next year too! (*nervously bites nails*) :P

Try hummus. I really like that instead of dressing on my salad

I just got a HRM, and the 2 times I've went jogging w/ it on MFP overestimated by like 100 cals. I would go with your HRM, becuase it's better to underestimate it than overestimate it.

I was wanting to start a garden this summer, too and I found this site. It has a lot of helpful info. I was looking mostly at the outdoor stuff, but it has stuff about planting indoors in pots, too. hope it helps! http://www.homefarming.com/

Hey! I'm a student as well. I'd be happy to lend some support!
