Yesterday I clocked in at 37:30, down from 40:00 at the beginning of june :smile:

I started running seriously about two months ago and am also an asthmatic, I feel your fear, I've found that you don't have to go far away to run long distances, I run laps at my gym, it's boring, but it's safe and good tunes make it better. If where you lift doesn't have a track, you can use google maps or mapmyrun to…

150 lbs @ 18 > 300lbs @ 30 3500 x 150 = 525,000 calories 18+12 = 30 12 x 365 = 4,380 days 525,000/ 4,380 = 119.8 calories a day over your maintenance… it’s not because you’re eating 5,000 calories a day… it’s just a little bit of inattention over a long period of time for most people

thanks!!! i was so excited i forgot them :blushing: ROWS- from 30lbs 5x5 to 45lbs 5x5

Just did my 4th day of lifting (i blog it if you want to compare/companion) Squat: 25lbs 5x5 Overhead press: 25lbs 5x5 Deadlift: 35lbs 5x1 Rows: 35lbs 5x5 Bench Press: 30lbs 5x5 all these weights include the bar (so since i'm not up to olympic weight yet, i use the 25lb bar and add however much weight to get my total)…

that is totally my goal ;) WAY TO GO, THAT'S AN AMAZING VICTORY!!!!!!

30 lbs in about 6 months (which is right on target for where i have my goals set) keep in mind that you can adjust things as you go so that you are losing at a pace you're comfortable with (I went for 1.5 lbs a week in the beginning and then adjusted to 1 a week after the first 20lbs) logging everything everyday is the…

Went thrifting with my cousin and caught sight of a super cute skirt on the way out the door. I didn't want to have to go back and wait in line for the fitting room again, so I checked the size tag. It was a medium, which i knew wouldn't fit me now, but I know I've been doing well and it would only be a matter of time, so…

^THIS^ i think there's a lot of pressure on bigger girls to be THE NICE ONE (cause... you sure aren't the cute or outgoing one) but if you aren't... you must be shy... so i guess less change on my part, and more of a change in the perception of others I'm only about 30% through my journey though, and i have noticed that…

this, thisthisthis... also, now we really need a thread about people being awesome SOME PEOPLE ARE AWESOME, maybe even A LOT of people are awesome, the people ON THIS THREAD ARE AWESOME and i think we all need to take a moment and remember that seriously HUGS TO EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD

I LOVE GREEN SMOOTHIES the best rule i've ever heard is the 3/2 rule... which basically means you use 2 cups (85g) spinach (or kale) and then add 3 cups of whatever fruit you like this is the one i make every day (it makes 2 16oz servings) 2 cups non-sweetened Almond milk (but you can use any liquid you like) 2 cups…

this post is not technically from the getting started forum, but i think that new people would definitely benefit from reading it, i know that i have read it multiple times: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1193569-cookies-taste-better-than-skinny-feels it's a great post with several pictures which is especially…

that sounds amazing... BUMP:flowerforyou:

I TOTALLY DO, i just make sure to log it... it gives me that little bit of sticker shock, which helps me to moderate myself over time (at first i would just give in completely full bore... over time i found myself embracing the craving but keeping down the servings) it also motivates me to work out since i really REALLY…

excellent job! thank you for sharing!!! :drinker:

Commented over on youtube but just wanted to say here as well THANK YOU for your inspiration and your courage in sharing your journey. YOU ARE AMAZING :flowerforyou:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! what an awesome transformation :drinker:

AWESOME JOB!!! 50 lbs is an amazing number but what i'm super impressed with is your logging streak KEEP IT UP! I know you can reach your goals :drinker:

what a wonderful NSV as well :happy:

YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!! I know you say you wish you were further along, but with numbers like yours (80lbs and almost 40 inches) in just a year I THINK YOUR SUCCESS IS AMAZING plus, you can really see in your pictures how much stronger you are, i'm sure you've lost even more fat by replacing it with muscle which,…

This is my first time posting to a forum, so I apologize if i don't quite do it right. I just wanted to point out what this previous poster said 'I was fat for a long time' I myself have been 'fat' for the entirety of my life; that's 30 years of social behavior to get over, and I can only imagine that when i reach my goal…
