My one year progress! Not too bad! I’m 5’6” SW 175 Current 164 Goal 150 maybe 145 and rocking those jeans not just fitting into them :)

It took me a long time to recover from a trail running injury, but I’ve finally gotten past all the baby steps and am back into consistent, more intense training! That has been the goal for a whole year, to get back to training hard again, so I am absolutely loving every *kitten* kicking workout! Goals this year are to…

I run and use the Nike training app... customize to your preferences, equipment, goals... it's awesome! http://www.nike.com/ca/en_gb/c/training/nike-training-club

We got this! I can't wait to get back on track. I'm up about 15 lbs since June when I had a bad injury while trail running. I managed well through the summer keeping an eye on the intake, but once hibernation season set in I've gone more than a little calorie crazy. I've just made it through the holidays while emotional…

Well I didn't hit the target of 15 by May 1st, but I'm happy to be back on track and back in the 150s :) :)

So estimating my portions is not working for me! I've got to get back to using the food scale!!!!

Me too Evil Queen! Halloween was the beginning of the end this year! For me it was all the decadent food and booze, and then switching up the fitness routine thinking that my sport was going to be enough to maintain. Rec play a couple nights a week is not the same, and definitely not as good as alternating running and…

After doing a genealogy chart tracking my family history of diabetes and heart disease for a college program I was enrolled in a few years ago. After seeing the red and yellow dots on our family tree, and realizing that I was the same weight then as I was when I was full term pregnant with my youngest. I decided to do…

HA!!! This is awesome, I totally forgot that I had to state my weight when I switched my licence when we moved to BC 4 years ago! I lied by a lot... It read 180 when I was 200, but I'm at 162 now and almost 10 lbs to goal!

Oh this is just what I need!!!! I was 5lbs away from my goal in the summer and have slowly crept back to 15 to go after a change in routine, and some lax tracking. We can do this!!!!

Thanks for the great studies! One of my pet peeves is the fear mongering around aspartame. Reliable scientific studies from reputable sources hold a lot more weight than magazine articles and stuff you can dig up on the "interwebs" from questionable sources. BRAVO. Don't even get me started on the difference between…

My long run has become my regular run! Time to push further! :) :)

Yep, there's good runs and bad runs. Last week I thought maybe potato chips and Palm Bays are the answer! A great run after a party night and a lousy run when fuelled by nutritious food, water, and rest? Inconceivable! Then I had a good laugh and thought maybe I should stop over analyzing and just keep pounding the…

I VOLUNTEER!!!

Hello! Looks like a great group! I'm a 35 yo mother of 2 (10&6) and am getting really close to my goal!!!! :) I'm a competitive badminton player from Vancouver Island and this was the first summer in 17 years that I went through off season training; running and weights! So proud of myself! I'm looking forward to next…

Probably the only time this will be accurate.....she's growing quickly, and I'm close to my goal :)

Awesome progress and dedication Echo! Congratulations!

^^This and I wouldn't put too much faith in the Calories burned number though. Like others have mentioned use a heart rate monitor, or don't eat back all the exercise cals. My running story : I ran a lot as a teen/young adult training for sports, now 17 years later I didn't feel ready to run again. I ran in place slowly…

My 5k run went from 35-33 minutes....all three times this week! Breaking out of the 12 minute mile pace :) and I feel ready to increase in distance slowly....maybe one 40/45 minute run per week now.

Bump

Make a bunch of muffin tin quiche with your favourite toppings on the weekend to zap in the microwave weekday mornings?

Buttered toast and a handful of blackberries

I like to make big batches of soups, stews, and chili, then freeze them in individual portions to bring for my lunches. I also like to do leftovers for lunches....keep some tortillas and lettuce on hand and you can make different leftover wraps. You can cook dried beans in the crock pot for soups and chili, its cheaper to…

BIKINI!!! I haven't worn a bikini in 15 years but I feel better in one now than I did then :)

Hello!!!! I just checked out this group because I thought about leaving it and saw there are new members.....I joined it when it (and I) began a year ago, and just wrote up my 1 year anniversary success post this week! :) I started at 200 lbs size 16, dreading workouts and am almost at my goal of 150, a size 8 and love my…

Thanks very much everyone! You know what's funny too....I had planned a year ago to start July 1st and of course was putting it off for so many weird reasons and started on the 17th finally after almost talking myself into just starting on August 1st! Seriously Bobbie? WHY WAIT! Things are different today..... A couple of…

I run with my kids riding their bikes. I was running alone for a while, but cougar sightings are up....there's strength in numbers and I don't want to be alone with a cougar. It means we can go for a run whenever it suits us, not waiting for hubby to be home from work, or to arrange babysitting. I figure it's good for them…

Nope. Everything we do in a day really burns calories to some degree....but I would only log exercise . Going for a long walk, hike, bike, swim, run body weight exercises, yoga, videos etc. Once in a while I might log gardening if it's out of the ordinary intense sweaty business... Shovelling and hauling dirt to make a new…

1. Have won more badminton matches than in previous years.....even placed 1st in mixed doubles at two tourneys. 2. Fell back in love with weights and running! 3. Surprised myself....was apprehensive that I could go from a 16 to a 10....I'm a size 8 now! :) :)

Current weight fluctuates between 158-160 for the last few months.....goal is 150....almost there!!!! :)
