The cereal that got me through college is Grapenuts. It tasted just OK so I didn't overeat, it's hard to chew, and it's filling! :) Carrots are great for you and cheap!

Yes I do! I like my body now that I'm 46 more than when I was in my 20s and 30s. The human body is a miracle with great capacity for change.

Oberweis milk! It makes my coffee and oatmeal taste like a gourmet meal. http://www.oberweis.com/web/pledge.asp

I love 2 crunchy tacos off the dollar menu. The little sauce packets are so delish! I take a few home for during the week!

I judge my body fat by how much fat I can grab on my stomach, my love handles and my thighs. BMI doesn't mean much.

Are you tired of the food logging or eating healthy?

Good strategy, look skinnier by making your friends fat! ;) Just kidding! Congrats on passing on the sweets!

I was fitted with Saucony Pro Grid 4. Wow, what a difference it made in my knee! They were $90 at the running store, $70 at Zappos. If you don't have a running store nearby, you can buy 5-7 pair of top rated running shoes from Zappos and wear them around the house. They should have a half inch room in the toebox and your…

I usually eat oatmeal and a little protein, like a piece of deli meat, before Bootcamp. I need the fuel. Also, Bootcamp is easier when I drink a little caffeine beforehand.

If your abs are good, everything else is good too! You go! :smile:

Potato soup!

I'm just addicted to the instagram iphone app! It was a 1 day thing for a MFP friend who asked about my eating. Do you find it hard to tell what someone is eating by a written log? It was an eye opener! I really didn't know I ate all morning long.

Negative calories for the snake. I had to run to catch it first.

Love the large curd cottage cheese. It's not low fat so it's more filling, but then I eat less of it because it's more satisfying. :smile:

I've been eating a small dip cone from McDonalds in place of dinner. Small treats are OK as long as you get your protein and veggies in during the day.

I lost my belly fat and now don't like the loose skin I see. No one is ever happy! :wink:

It's great that you are exercising. You got this part right! Food is just a series of habitual decisions. You just need to identify your bad food habits and make changes. Everyone here has had to change their eating and would love to offer you suggestions and tips. You're worth the effort!

I was stalled at week 2 of C25K due to knee pain. Then I got fitted at the Running Company, learned which stretches work for me, and started doing limestone trails, not pavement. It's perfect now! I got Saucony Pro Guide 4.

I took 10 days off while on vacation and just walked around. It was fine.

One trick for not clearing your plate is to eat with chop sticks! You eat more slowly and everything falls off before you get it to your mouth.

I just watched Forks over Knives this week, as well as Fat Head. My mom is Chinese and we ate everything growing up. Beef, pork, ice cream, ... The main difference between us and the "American" neighbors was that we ate tons and tons of vegetables! They make you feel good. My gut feel is that you should eat what makes your…

I used to drink two 2 liter bottles of Diet Pepsi a day for like 15 years. The regular wasn't strong enough, so I drank lime and cherry flavored DP. Just like you, I got sick last spring ( flu - high fever, sore throat ) and pop tasted horrible. I quit pop cold turkey. Find a new source of caffeine and you will be fine.…

Less is more! Thanks for this beautiful reminder.

My trainer says you should eat 30 to 60 minutes after exercising and the protein should come from food. I eat a few pieces of high quality lunch meat like ham, turkey or salami with some veggies. Sometimes I eat string cheese.

This looks awesome! I like the camping option which includes food! How fun. Maybe Indy will work.

I'm on W4 of the $1.99 C25k app. I like hearing the commands, otherwise I run too long and hurt myself.

Wow! You look very strong!

Congrats! ( My daughter had the same fear. ) I just conquered a running fear - getting my gait analyzed at a running store. I thought I was doing it all wrong and would embarrass myself, but they didn't even make me run. :)

McCafe drinks are evil marketing plots to make you crave sugar and fat. Good job getting rid of the junk.

I'm doing the Couch 2 5K app and have been stuck on week 2 for 6 weeks. My left knee aches from runner's knee so I rest it for 5-7 days at a time Just yesterday I discovered that stretching my calf stops the ache. Anyone else discover a stretch that relieves runner's knee? I'll give week 3 a shot tonight! ( Just got…
