I don't think there is such a thing as too slow of a progression if you add up to you goal distance before the race. I progressed a mile every two weeks or so, but that was me. Listen to your body.

I second interval training. Jog/run fast for a min then walk until your heart slows back down, then repeat. The better you get you can switch the jogging for sprinting and then the walking for jogging.

I love this thread...

I was a catcher for 11 years and resulted in some pretty messed up cartilage in my knees. I thought I wouldn't be able to run or jump. However, if they bother me I take some Bayer and make sure to ice them right after exercise. I found that what prevented my knee pain was a good and properly fitted shoes.

Nom..nom..nom... :tongue:

I like numbers, charts, graphs and data. (Science nerd) I weight myself everyday and record it just to see the relationship between different exercises, food, micronutrients and water intake everyday. I measure every two weeks or so and that's what I go by to measure my 'success'. I also go by what I see in the mirror!

Johnny Depp for sure. However, Leonardo DiCaprio won me over with his work in 'The Departed', "Shutter Island' and "Inception' and I usually can't stand Ben Affleck but he was bad *kitten* in "The Town".

I love the little 'v' of the lower abs/hips AND (albeit this is random) I like the flexed jaw muscle.

Oh sweet LAWD...that man makes me drool. No joke, my mouth is watering right now. She is GORGEOUS!

I love desk...I love carpet....

These tats are fueling my tattoo addiction. My husband has told me "NO MORE", but I really want my husband and I to get matching... 'Veritas Aequitas' tattoos. (Boondock Saints anyone?), my husband's and my favorite movie. I want the 'veritas' and I want him to get the 'Aequitas'. Plus, my name has a meaning of 'truth'…

I log my Vitamins. Just so I can see myself hitting the micronutrients and other vitamin levels. Also, technically my Calcium supplement is 20 calories, so if I take one every day for a week that is 140 calories in a week. I just want to make sure that I'm accountable.

I have 100 calorie smart pop, popcorn.

Hello ABS! Nice job, you look great. PS. I'm glad you you're alright! It's been a crazy spring, hopefully the worst is behind us.

I started eating tuna on Fridays during Lent. Now, I still buy it and eat it at least once or twice a week!

I have some dark chocolate squares in the house. Also, I love my Skinny Cow chocolate truffle bars! Oh, I haven't had that kind before! YUM! I have to get it next time.

Hey, I take a calcium supplement, Viactiv it's a Milk Chocolate Soft Chew Plus Vitamins D & K. I try to convince myself that it's a little tootsie roll, that taste isn't horribly off.

Your husband joins MFP just to spend more time with you. (True story.. :laugh: )

Hey! I'm 5'2 and started at 150.2lbs. My first goal was 125 lbs. Now that I've passed 125lbs, I'm in uncharted waters and unsure how low to go! I'm aiming for 122 right now, but I have 115lbs in the back of my head.

I love almonds so it was easy for me to transition to almond milk. I also think it has a sweetness to it. I'm having some lactose issues, so I'm laying of regular milk. Almond milk has lower calories, but less protein.

It's probably water weight. If you have a lot of weight to lose in the first place, it might come of fairly fast in the beginning but it should slow down.

Something with protein will keep you full. I like 0% Fage greek yogurt and Bare Naked Granola: Protein Plus. Keeps me full for a long time!

My cramps, flow and consistency of flow (watery, heaviness...TMI, I know) all were effected by my diet and exercise.

I'm so sad that people will actually try this...

This...love me some Randy.

I'm getting some once I reach my next goal. Whether my husband likes it or not! I'm going to start wearing them around to walk in. Then slowly bumping up my intensity and distance.
