Additionally, when you log your food, calories are deducted from your total. When you exercise, calories are added to your total. For example, I have a 1,400 goal. Yesterday I ate 1,600 calories, but ran/walked 9 miles over two hours, so ended the day with 500 calories I could still eat if I was hungry.

Hi Brittaney All I can say is keep going. These people loved you, and would want you to do this for yourself. You will feel better if you eat better, which means you can adjust better. Having said that, you should consider talking with (if you are religious) your family pastor, or if you would prefer, find a local…

@Richied Hot!

My calves. Even my thin friends are jealous of my gams.

I Can't Stop by Flux Pavilion

It is a matter of priorities. I'm the editor of the local newspaper. I'm a volunteer EMT. I mentor two teenagers. I teach dog obedience. I'm a member of the Relay for Life Committee and with the local library. I'm training for a duathalon, a half marathon and a marathon this year, as well as help organize and promote an…

I'll ditto dig1467. I don't believe it has anything to do with your diet or exercise, especially if you are doing light workouts. Go see your gynecologist - longer periods and increased pain can be indicative of a host of really bad things, or an equal number of minor things, but it can't be diagnosed over the internet by…

Surgery was Feb. 26. I was able to have a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, and It's now Thursday, Feb. 7, and I'm back at work part-time (at my job as an editor). I have three tiny scars and have had none of the expected complications. I've been riding my recumbent bike every night since Feb. 1 for 30 minutes…

Surgery has been set for Jan. 29 after I spoke to my doctor about my marathon concerns to give me an extra week to heal/train. He and the physical therapist believe that, even if I have major complications (sometimes a bicorneate uterus can not be removed vaginally) it would be similar to his c-section runners, which would…

Thank you everyone. I appreciate all of the comments. I am meeting with a physical therapist whose a marathon runner today for "encouragement" and will continue with plans for surgery for Feb. 5. If I have to walk the full marathon in June, I will. Considering two years ago I weighed 260 lbs and couldn't run a block, for…

^^ This. As an EMT, I tend to run with other EMTs and I do get bright red. You want to talk embarrassing? I was at the end of a four mile run, after having gone horseback riding earlier in the day, and I tripped and fell. I didn't even have time to say "I'm OK" before I had my fellow EMTs calling an ambulance and trying to…

1/3/2012 3.3 miles

75 miles. Thanks!

Easiest I know line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, little bit of olive oil, put the fish on the aluminum foil, squeeze lemon over the top, sprinkle black pepper over it, bake until fish breaks apart flaky..... Yum.

I put up the beginner one, there is an intermediate one that you should probably follow since you already have a good base....

http://www.halfmarathons.net/training_tips_schedule_beginner_runners.html This is what I used for my first half marathon. I've done two and I'm scheduled for a half and a full this year... enjoy!

I don't hold grudges, but I do hold people accountable. For 10 years I refused to speak to my mother unless she was sober, so we didn't talk for 10 years. She ended up in intensive care for cirrhosis of the liver - she was sober then, so I dropped everything and drove 1,600 miles to spend three weeks with her. She got out…

New running shoes :)

I'm a big fan of the shake/meal replacement plans. I tend to get really busy and will eat junk food, so having pre-made shakes or a meal replacement bar that I can keep in my car or purse keeps me from saying "Yep" when the people around me want to go out to eat. I also hate to cook, so it works well for me. I have a lot…

This....and do you have an older brother?

My heath - knowing no matter how sick I feel, I feel worse after eating crap. (I have an autoimmune disorder) Running and logging my food.

Get good shoes. Really good shoes. If you a pronating (rolling inward or outward) when you walk, it will put stress on your knees.

I ride Percherons, and I have a bumper sticker "Ride a Draft...it makes your butt look smaller." I weigh around 190, but have been riding since I was at 240 or so. Marisol is 17 hands and weighs over a ton. My other riding horse is a Saddlebred/Perch cross that loves going for rides...when I take the halter out to get…

I've been donating them as I go. The fact that I don't make a lot of money as the editor of the local paper, but I have to still dress nice, is just one more incentive to continue tracking everything and staying focused. But that's what is working for me.

Congratulations! I run across that quite frequently. Just last week a friend of mine gave me some of her old jeans (she's been losing weight too). I never thought of her as 'fat' so I was sure her size 14s would not fit me. But they do....yet I can't connect what I look like now with how she looked 20 lbs ago....I see…

Started at a 24, now at a 14 and running half marathons and planning my first full marathon.

Present and accounted for! Go Broncos!

All good...but the last one (No H8) shows off your eyes.

2.8 pre-poop. But then I did a 7 mile run yesterday before turkey gobbling.
