It's been a crazy few weeks, but here goes.... ==================== DATE: (05/20/2011) Week: 5 4/22/2011: 165 4/29/2011: 164 5/06/2011: 163 5/13/2011: 162 5/20/2011: 161 GW: 160 (by friday May 27) ====================

Bump! Very very inspiring!

Shin splints are no fun! Have you tried a running store so they can assess your runnuing style? They can tell you if you are an over ponator/supinator, and suggest the best shoes for you. I have absolutely flat feet, and suffered from horrible shin splints. Once I gotnthe right shoes and got arch supports (store…

I am beginning to realize this now. Still looking for healthy calorie dense foods- any suggestions?

My BMI was 30, and now it's 29. COnsidered overweight now. I was nowhere close to my goal. I have lost about 6 labs, most of it in the last 4 weeks.

This is something I seriously need to work on. I have been functioning on 5-6 hrs of sleep/night, and have felt absolutely fine, but I know I should sleep more.

My hubby got it a few months ago. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and just do it!

OK here it is: DATE: 4/22/2011 SW: 165 CW: 163.2 (lost 1 lb - not great, but at least it's not a gain, so I'll take it.) GW: 156 (BY FRIDAY MAY 27) Goals for this week: - watchc the carbs! I was doing quite well for this long, but fell off the carb wagon into a basket of bread.:) - Get back to exercising 6 days a week.

Isn;t it just grand that people make such comments? I got that from a 'friend', while other 'friends' who were listening to our conversation snickered and shook their heads in disbelief. Well , 6 years later, I have 3 half marathons and many many 10k's under my belt and they are no longer my 'friends'.

Second the runnersworld.com and active.com suggestions- great websites. I started running 5 years ago, I used to get totally winded at 30 sec. But in the last 5 years, I have completed 3 half marathons and multiple 10K's- and yes, I am a running addict! Keep up the effort and you will be running long, peaceful distances in…

I like it!

Thanks! I like this idea! I will do this tomorrow morning ! Hope it works ...

Love and totally agree with all your tips. #2 and #5 are esp true for me . Would LOVE to just workout in the am, but waking up is an issue....

Thanks.. I guess I need to get that heart rate monitor.

Mine too started well, but ended...ok. Not too bad, since I had saved the calories for dinner. The dinner I had wasn't the healthiest, but we have it about twice a year, so I am forgiving myself. :)

Hi all- started today with a lovely 40 min run, so hoping for a good day (one day at a time- that's my mantra):) DATE: (04/15/2011) Week: 1 SW: 165lbs CW: 164.2 lbs GW: 155 (by friday May 27) (seems a bit ambitious...)

Hi all- Today was a baaad day. Started when I forgot my breakfast/unch/snacks for the day AND my gym bag to workout at lunch. Did not want to eat the unhealthy stuff at work, so ended up starving until lunch. Had chicken pho soup, which wasn't too great, but better than the burgers/fries/chicken alfredo at the cafeteria.…

Homemade soups (chicken noodle, veggie chilli, minestrone, etc etc); greek yogurt w/strawberries, blueberries and toasted almonds; salad (greens-sweet peppers-low fat feta cheese-tomatoes-pecans-grilled chicken with italian dressing), whole wheat pasta with grilled chicken, marinara , steamed broccoli whole wheat spaghetti…

Oops...just set my goals for July.... well, I am aiming for 1.5 lbs/week...

I'm going to post it all today, since I have a crazy morning tomorrow: CW: 165 lbs GW by 7/1/11: 150 Plan for the week: Mon: run 4 miles, 1 hour weights Tues: 30 min core work, 1 hour zumba Wed: 1 hour interval training on treadmill, 1 hr weights Thur: run 4 miles, core work Fri: 1 hour weights, 45 min run Sat: 3 mile run…

How about: - start tomorrow - put in CW- date and goal weight-goal date - exercise plan for the week - weigh in on Saturdays

I would like to join too! Hope it;s not too late... can I join?

HI- I have been running trails and hiking in these shoes for the last few years, and I love them: http://www.holabirdsports.com/m/Shoes/Trail-Running-Shoes/Asics/p1/ASICS-GEL-Trail-Attack-6-Lady/044133.htm?utm_source=Google_Base&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=ASICS%20GEL-Trail%20Attack%AE%206%20Lady&utm_campaign=Google_Base

Hi! Is it too late to join? I know a lot of you started at least 2 months ago....

Haven't invested in a HRM yet. Maybe I should look into it...thanks!

How do you log P(90X on MFP? Nimmi

Thank you! That was most helpful. I run 4 days a week, and do zumba once a week, your schedule gives me an idea of how to tailor it to my routine. Nimmi
