FWIW I'm an IVF baby! Good luck to all of you! And your babies will feel extra loved because they know that their parents wanted them more than anyone else's parents! hahah

Use a product that protects your hair from heat. I also use a protecting shampoo and conditioner. I fell in love with the Beauty Protector Ultimate Hair Protecting Trio from Birchbox. Its annoying because you can only buy it online though. No matter what you do, do not go for cheap shampoos and conditioners. If you have no…

I don't have kids, and I also don't know anything about your life, but make sure she is eating healthy and learning the right way to. When I was her age (all the way through graduating high school) I was a serious athlete and in amazing shape. But then I went away to college and lost control completely because I didn't…

It was my first half as well as my first disney race and it was an incredible experience! I'd love to do it this year, but I'm not sure what my availability is going to be like in november. If it doesn't fill up when I figure that out I'd love to run it.

23 - checking in! add away!

I think if someone were to say that exact same thing to me IRL I'd be insulted, but I read that and feel inspired. It's definitely awesome to think that the amazing runners you see out there are able to respect the newbies, even those of us who have more than a few pounds to lose before we even vaguely look like a runner.

This sums up my feelings exactly. Granted, I'm young and I've never even considered marriage with the people I've dated, but my best friend is a perfect best friend, but if that's all I got from my husband (admittedly, there would be the physical attraction also) I would never be satisfied. Sure, I would gladly live with…

I think the other posters were dead on with everything they said, I just wanted to add that, yes, your first run is intimidating. I was shaking like a leaf for my first 5k. And my second race wasn't much better. I assume that at some point they get less intimidating, but that is also why they're so fun. If you're not…

I have a friend who has been selling and taking this stuff for almost a year now and there has been no noticeable change in her, and she has a ton to lose. Just posting my two cents.

Hey guys, I know it says mandatory, but I won't be able to participate in the LCW this week. I'm getting through an injury, and walking and running hurts too much. I have a race in two weeks and I can't push it just to finish an online challenge. I'm really sorry, but real life training takes precedence over this! :cry:

I'm not sure if they have it for android, but apple has an app called cruise control that takes your music and plays it, but it adjusts it to whatever pace you want. I haven't tried it yet because I'm REALLY slow and apparently too slow for the app, but I messed around with it a little bit and it seemed pretty cool.

@April that's great! I can't wait to start working speed. I've been accumulating distance for so long, but my mile times are usually 13-15 minutes.

I do, but I don't think everyone has to. It's like running, some people are really into the barefoot thing, I however don't think I could ever do that. I need the support.

I like healthier alternatives. Like lara bars, clif bars, and those kind bars. They might not be great for you, but you get a little chocolate and something like that usually fills me up for awhile so I feel like they aren't empty calories.

I think that they should have added the 4 pounds to the white team's total last week, taken all the weights from last week, and if the red team still lost Ruben would still stay home, if the white team lost they would lose someone, Ruben would come back. And then do this weeks weigh in.

I'll be honest, I'm useless with recipes. If I'm actually taking the time to cook I usually just dice up some veggies, toss them into a pan with some type of meat, throw some salsa on it, and wrap it up in a tortilla. I really don't have much to submit here... But JILLIAN! Oh my gosh. At first I was kind of happy because I…

Guys, I tried two things today: 1. my run in the morning. No bueno. 2. HIIT. Couldn't keep up. Maybe I'm being a baby, but I feel like this is getting worse. I'm going to drop out of the challenge and try to yoga this injury back to health. When I'm feeling better I will continue to follow along with the challenge because…

Tabbydog, Thanks! I bought a foam roller yesterday actually and this looks great!

My main meal. I found a recipe online that describes it slightly different, but way better than I could. 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs $ Cooking spray $ 12 (6-inch) white corn tortillas 1 1/2 cups thinly…

I'm still in my early 20's, (22) but I too am a runner in training. I just finished my first half this past weekend, and I'm working on speed training now. Or I'm supposed to be but I am battling an injury. At least by next week I'll be running again. Since I don't quite fit what you're looking for I didn't add anyone, but…

I want to keep you all updated, this might be my final week as a dolphin. I absolutely love this challenge, but a combination of crazy time at school and a small injury are holding me back. I did something last Thursday to my left hip and I ignored it to finish my race, but when I try to run now it feels miserable. I more…

I'm hoping to lose 53 more pounds. Ashleymegg

@tabbydog My half was good. I will definitely give more details soon, I just have to get around to writing them.

I will report everything I've done this week later this evening, but I was wondering, I my race that started on Saturday night didn't finish until 1:30AM on Sunday. Can I count 90 minutes for Sunday or is that cheating?

Y'all better get used to this view, dolphins have taken the lead and plan to stay there.

Congrats to all the dolphins who killed it this week. All I can say is thank goodness for drops this week. I will miss the dolphins that we lost, but it keeps me still eligible! (Is that selfish or competitive? I'm not sure. haha) I really wish today's workout would count for the week because tomorrow I plan on recovering…

Did the HIIT today. 6 minutes. As obnoxious as it sounds, I don't have time for more! I'll be out of touch until Monday night, anything I do here will be completely off my phone. I will check the challenge once its up though, don't worry!

Every one of my HIITs were 8 minutes. Sorry, I haven't been around much this week, I didn't know the times mattered, just thought we had to do anywhere between 6-10 minutes! Friday: 30 minutes of yoga for runners. 100 calories. I really wanted to get another run in today but I feel sore and stiff. 5 minutes of stretching…

I've had no indulgences yet this week.
