"My focus needs to be on making sure everyone else has a great challenge!"

March 22 - 8.15 miles 75.07 + 8.15 = 83.22 miles Goal #1 of 80 miles - CHECK!! Goal #2 - 100 miles Miles left until Goal 2 - 16.78 miles

March 21 - 3.1 miles 71.97 + 3.1 = 75.07 miles for the month Goal #1 = 80 miles Miles left until goal - 4.93 miles :smiley:

I actually have two *full* rest days Saturday and Sunday. We're traveling to Florida (driving from Wisconsin) and it's just not in the cards for me to workout. I'm excited and have been working my *kitten* off the last two months to earn these two complete days off.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I could easily eat ALL my calories from free foods AND still have 13 - 28 points to play around with.

Log everything. I weigh the majority of the fruits and vegetables I eat as well. I was curious the other day on how many calories in "free foods" I eat a day (if I were on WW). Curious because I have a few co-workers on WW. I calculated that over 500 calories would be "free" if I were on WW (for that particular day). How…

I'm actually planning on many half marathons this year! April 6 - Parkinson's Half May 4 - Wisconsin Marathon (the Half) Memorial Day Weekend - Conquer the Capital - 10K Saturday night and the Half Marathon the next morning July 21 - Her Madison Half Loony Challenge at Twin Cities - 10K and 5K on Saturday and the 10 miler…

Have you looked into Kodiak cups? They have muffins, oatmeal, pancakes, cornbread, and brownies. Most have a minimum of 10 G of protein and looks like all are under 300 calories. You quickly nuke them with some water and they are good to go. I've had the flapjack cups and they are TASTY.…

March 20 - 5.8 miles 66.17 + 5.8 = 71.97 miles for the month Goal #1 - 80 miles Miles left until goal = 8.03 miles

The bolded is where it lies. With the parent. It starts with you. Honestly, the best thing you can do is to model the good behavior. Encourage her to cook healthy meals with you, play together as a family, and do fun activities together.

I actually know a person who had trouble losing weight from eating too many apples (among other things I'm sure). "But I have fruit for breakfast everyday!" Turns out they were eating 5 - 6 apples for breakfast. Every single day.

"If you don't drink this Plexus pink drink, you aren't healthy!" - As the person posts constant pictures of them drinking and eating out. "Join my 5 day sugar detox!" I asked if I could still enjoy fruit. "No, it's bad for you, this shocks your system and will help you bust through your plateau!!" "How come you eat bacon,…

They are all wonky in their own way. I wear my chest strap for any cardio work - while it's not 100% accurate (nothing is), I feel that it's my best shot for getting close.

5"7' here. Currently 155 and my goal is 145 - 150.

I just looked it up and it looks very promising and interesting. Technology and research is changing all the time. I'd get one if I had the extra money laying around. Why not? Honest question. A cheap one is ~$20 at Wal-Mart and could save your life. Hopefully you never ride around kids like mine. They call out anyone who…

Looks like you have two options here; one of which you already said you don't want to do. You can either cook everything yourself so you can be in control or you can learn to relax a little bit and be thankful you have someone who wants to share the responsibility.

Just saying. No. You're wrong.

I thought about this the other day when I was carrying in over 70 pounds of cat litter (what can I say? I have 3 cats and it was on sale). I carried both pails in and then realized I lost 100 pounds ON TOP of what I was carrying in. I have no idea how my body carried around 320 pounds. I am thankful I lost the weight,…

Meh, the bonus of looking good in a swimsuit is worth more than a few extra calories at the end of the day. I personally don't track strength training.

Try both and see what you prefer. I, like the above poster, can't run right after eating. It makes me nauseous.

March 18 - 5 miles 61.17 + 5 = 66.17 miles for the month Goal #1 for the month = 80 miles Miles left until goal = 13.83 miles

March 17 - 11 miles 50.17 + 11 = 61.17 miles for the month Goal #1 for the month = 80 miles Miles left until goal = 18.83 miles Oops....I may have to up that goal a bit.

March 16 - 3.1 miles 47.07 + 3.1 = 50.17 miles for the month Goal for the month = 80 miles Miles left until goal = 29.83 miles

Proof?

You need to eat! I'm sorry if I am assuming (going by your user name), but you are under eating for what a male should have at a minimum. Add sauces to your meals, potatoes, rice, bread. Cook in healthy oils. Eat cheese. It's literally up to you. You had tilapia, a wrap, and some veggies the other day for lunch. I would…

I have 1 - 2 meals a week where I do not log what I'm eating. But, I almost always save some calories every day for these meals. There are also some exercises I do, but don't log the calories burned. For example, if I hop on the elliptical for 20 minutes before a fitness class. I'm still consistently losing weight. For my…

I much prefer to eat my food like a duck.

Mmmmm....liquid calories.......

Weight loss comes down to creating a calorie deficit. You can eat anything and as long as you're in a deficit, you'll lose weight. This includes corn.

My doctor told me to either get weight loss surgery or go on prescription weight loss drugs. Decided I wanted to do neither and started watching what I ate.
