I AM IN THE SAME BOAT!!! Starving all day and try to do anything I can just to burn more calories so that I can eat more food. I think my problem is, is that 1, I am training for a half marathon and running a lot which makes me hungry, 2. not drinking enough water, and 3. drinking too much diet coke which is supposed to…

I used to be like this and then started to feel selfish working out at night, being away from my husband and children especially since I work all day away from them. So I made it a priority to get up early. Now I cant imagine it any other way. I have sooo much more energy throughout the day and I have my nights free. Some…

Oh my gosh I think it is crazy that there are people struggling to eat their exercise calories. I am hungry all the time and usually ready to eat something every 2-3 hours. I hardly ever am able to not eat my exercise calories. In fact I try to do extra stuff during the day just so I can eat more food at night.( my…

I swear by standing crunches, standing side crunches, and knee ups. It works your whole midsection. ALso you must do planks on the floor.

I eat chocolate everyday and I dont deny myself pizza or cookie dough (my 2 favorite foods). but that only counts for 30% of my day usually. The other 70 is 100% whole wheat, lean meats and chicken, lots of veggies, etc. I feel like I am in the best shape of my life, always room to improve though :) FOOD makes me happy and…

I AM LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF RIGHT NOW!! the 1st time I read your post it was early in the morning and for some reason i didnt read your post right and thought you wrote to try wearing a more supportive bra... so that is why i wrote that bit on 2 sports bras in one of my posts. That just goes to show I need to slow down when…

thanks everyone for your advice and opinions.

Actually I am follwoing a plan designed by an olympic trainer. The Dr I work with got the plan from her old trainer I guess... The plan has me running 6 days a week, this week starting last Sundayi ran 4 miles, 3miles, 4 miles,4 miles, 3 miles and 5 miles. 10.3 min miles...I have a little bit of OCD, so it freaks me out a…

no i jumped in and did 21 miles the 1st week, 22 the 2nd and this week i did 23.....:embarassed:

shoes are newer.. I bought them on black friday. The pain is on the outside of my knee cap. It feels like muscle and it is more of an ache. I wear 2 sports bras,(just because I like to feel really secure) The pain goes away with walking. I am normally the sprinting type and used to do HIIT on the treadmill, that equaled…

I LOVE three cheese ziti marinara by Weight watchers -smart ones. It is by far the best frozen meal I have tried. I am also liking the healthy choice red pepper marinara pasta.

1 TBS of peanut butter and splenda. I EAT THIS EVERDAY, sometimes 2x a day. I used to put choc. protein powder in there too and grew tired of it.

I would definitely eat most of them, and it is ok to eat at night, choose your food wisely and you will be fine, but why starve yourself when you dont have to. Its better to feel satisfied and still lose weight. Thats why so many people give up over time and go back to their old ways.

I am in the same boat, except my HRM said way less than the treadmill and MFP....confused as well

Would you buy the foot pod, so that it works in doors on the treadmill. I live in Iowa where it is cold out half the year.

I put Jif natural PB and splenda in my oatmeal every single day. I absolutley love it and cant go a day with out it, its good for any meal of the day and keeps my feeling full.

Im running the dam to dam (in Des Moines) half marathin in June for the 1st time. I am on my 2nd week of training!

I just got a new one in the mail today. It is from Walmart. It costs about 35 dollars and had pretty good ratings for the price. I used it a little tonight and it seemed like a great HRM for the money. I am excited to use it during my run tomorrow. Oregon Scientific Smart Heart Heart Rate Monitor Watch www.walmart.com
