I don't think Yoplait is *actual* Greek yogurt; I think it's "Greek *style*", meaning there's a protein added to get the thicker texture, it's not actually strained to get the proper Greek yogurt texture. I'd stick with Chobani and Fage (my favorites,) and even the Oikos is better than the Yoplait.

I'm planning on starting October 10th. I have a marathon on the 2nd that I'm trying to PR and didn't think trashing my legs in the month leading up to it was the best way to go about things :wink: I have another marathon in December, so I'm going to do a modified marathon training program mixed in with the Insanity and see…

bump :)

800 calories burned on a 4 mile walk is WAY high, unless the person is extremely heavy. I run <11 min miles and only burn about 120 cals/mile

Rock 'n Roll Philly Half marathon on Sunday! We leave for Philly tomorrow morning :) Good luck on everyone's races, and have fun!!

Bump :) I'm starting Insanity in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to not die :wink:

I ordered a bra online in what was my usual size, 38C. The cups are a bit roomy, and the band is kind of loose, too. I think I'm going to have to go to one of the nicer department stores and get fitted.

It's intended to use every day for 30 days, and at 20 minutes, I don't think it will hurt to do it every day, unless you have knee issues. I'm on Level 3 Day 8, but I'm training for a marathon, so I haven't been doing it on my long run days. But otherwise, I've done it every day. Good luck!

Oops, I'm marathongirl74 on daily mile :blushing: Embarrassing when you don't know your own login name, lol

I think I found you over there, Nicole. I sent a friend request :)

I went to WW a few years ago, and eventually stopped going to the meetings, just showed up to weigh in, because the leader was terrible. I'm back to doing it, but strictly online now :) MFP works very well for me for maintaining my weight, but I still need to lose 25-30 more. For some reason, WW works better for me for…

Are you guys on dailymile.com? If anybody is, feel free to add me as a friend. I'm shawn526 over there, too :) Run Happy!!

Ran 4 miles this morning before work, and did L1D8 this evening after work. I take one day off when I do my long runs, but I felt exhausted Monday after work, so I just came home and rested, so I'm an extra day behind on 30DS. It's all good, though :) I'm looking forward to moving on to Level 2 on Sunday! Good job,…

I will be taking a rest day every Sunday, which is my long run day. After running 17 miles, I am NOT going to want to deal with it :wink: I'll be doing L1D5 after I get home from work in a little bit. Great job sticking with it, everyone!!

[/quote] 10 miles is awesome! I did my first real long run yesterday...8 miles...but I am doing a variation of Jeff Galloway's run/walk method so I did quite a bit of walking... the longest run interval I did yesterday was about 2 miles, the most I've ever run at one time was about 2.8 miles without stopping...I'm a little…

Yep, Target and D.icks are good places. I love the Under Armour heat gear shirts at D.icks. They're nice and light and they wick (not that wicking material is able to do it's job in the hot, humid South these days :wink: ) but they don't get weighed down like cotton does. If you do online shopping, championusa.com usually…

I'm always training for something :wink:

Finished L1D1. I can tell I'm going to be sore in the morning, especially my shoulders. Those squat presses are killer! Did the girly pushups and modified the side lunge because I run a lot and don't want to tweak my knees. I'm hoping I can work up to regular pushups eventually :) Good going everyone!!

I'm going to do it when I get home from work. I'm so excited!! I really need to lose some inches, especially around my hips and thighs. I took my measurements over the weekend, but my camera was messing up, so didn't get pics. But the tape measure should tell the tale :wink:

I was planning on starting on Monday, too :) I'm in!

After six months of losing and gaining the same 2 lbs on MFP, I broke down and joined WW again as a birthday gift to myself. I've lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks. I don't find the Points Plus confusing at all, and although the WW database isn't as extensive as MFP's, I tend to eat a lot of the same things every week, so I just…

Thanks, everyone! I'm going to give it a shot. Like Mills187 said, I'll be doing two workouts a day on days I run, running in the morning and doing Insanity in the afternoon/evening. Now I'm looking forward to seeing some good results :)

Good for you for dumping him. What a douche!! I wish you the greatest success in your journey, and you will find a man worthy of you, who will see how beautiful you are inside as well as outside. Enjoy the ride!!

Our boy cat, Walter, loves to lie on our running shoes after we've run in them. He also likes to rub against our legs when we're all sweaty and stinky and gross. Our girl cat, Daria, carries around small pieces of paper, like a dog. Last night she brought us a grocery receipt she found in my fiance's office. Weirdos, lol

Sounds great! I'm doing Buffalo on Sunday, and I have a pretty packed marathon schedule through 2012 :)

I've done 19 full marathons and probably 15 halfs, and I've only had to stop at the porto-potties maybe 3 times, total, ever. I sweat a lot, though, so maybe that has something to do with it, lol. Don't over-hydrate that morning, go before the race if you have to, don't stop at the first porta-potty, and I wouldn't really…

If there's no pain or soreness, I say run, but take it easy. If there is any twinge of pain at all, stop. I rolled my ankle 4 days before the St. Louis marathon last year. By the time race day came around, it was still swollen, but no more pain. I carried my cell phone with me just in case I had to bail on the race and had…

Sending a friend request from the coast of NC :)

Welcome! This site is a lot of fun :) Feel free to add me. Good luck, and enjoy the ride!

I'm getting married November 6. We're getting married during a half marathon, so I need to look cute in a short running skirt, lol
