I am training for my first marathon as of Monday. I will be running in the Chicagon marathon in October. I also just finished my first 10K today:smile: I am actually running the marathon for charity. I running for team hole in the wall. The charity was started by Paul Newman and what it does is send children with very…

Thanks for "getting" it. I needed to hear the kudos. Thankyou all!

I finished my first 10k this morning and I feel great! My husband and kids just dont seem to get it so I needed someone to share my achievement and excitement with and I thought who better than all of you? Thank you all for being here and letting me share my success with you!:flowerforyou:

Ok, let's see if I can help. Yes 3500 calories equals 1 pound. But if you burn 1900 calories a day doing normal activity but you only eat 1200 calories per day that is a deficit of 700 cals a day times 7 days per week = 4900 calories per week. So that is over 1 pound already:smile: Now add some exercise and you will be…

Some races allow IPODs and some don't. You will have to check with your particular race organization and see what their rules on the matter are. I ran my first 5k last July and was not allowed to use my MP3 player and unfortunately my time was definitely affected. Right now I am training for my first 10k and I am training…

Thankyou!

Hi Everyone! After joining this site about a month ago something happened to my phone line which in turn affected my internet. I didn't realize before how much I need this and all of you. It has taken about a week to get the phone company out here to fix the problem and in that time I really got off track. Not a good…

Thank you so much for the help.

I currently weigh 135.6 and my goal is 124, but when I look at my profile it says 16 lbs. to go. I must have made an error in when I entered my goal weight when joining the site because I only have 11.6 to go and I cant stand seeing that 16, is there a way to go back and edit my goal weight?

Hi everyone, I weighed in this morning and I am one pound closer to my goal. Yipppeeee!!!!! My personal goal for this week is to lose at least 2 lbs this week. Wish me luck. I hope you are all doing great in your journey too!!

OK it's Monday again, my weigh in day. Current weight: 135.6 Goal weight: 124 Weight loss this week: 1 lb. Not bad, but I have got to do better if I want to make it by Memorial Day! I will try harder this week and challeng myself to lose at least 2 lbs. this week. Oh I hope I can do it. How is everyone else doing? Good…

I am from Michigan and that Appalachian State thing was a fluke-LOL

I too went out for "a" drink on Saturday and ended up having about 6 beers. Weighed myself today on my official weigh in day and only lost 0.4lbs. I am disappointed in myself but that will hopefully push me to do much better this week. I did sooooo good all week with my diet and exercise but damn those beers!!! Good luck…

Lets start again Starting weight: 137 Current weight: 136.6 Goal weight 124 Goal weight loss per week: 1.5 Pounds lost this week: 0.4:sad: Pounds lost since starting this challange: 0.4 I am a little upset because I really did good this week with my diet as well as my exercise.

Hi, I am just joining the challange today! Starting measurement 31.5 :sad: I did 100 crunches, 40 push ups and 50 lunges. I hope this works!!! Thanks for a great challange.

Ok so I dont have the time to respond to each of the newcomers individually. But I do want to welcome everyone! I started here 2 1/2 weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it . I hope all of you do too. I have lost 4 pounds so far and that is motivating for me because now I know it can be done. You are in control and I believe in…

Thanks Deanea!

Thanks girsl, I did buy some feminine wipes. I'll try that. Thanks too for not making me bad about it:flowerforyou:

I'm in, but I am kind of OCD about starting things on the first day of the week so I will start Monday. I will take my measurements and post then. Thanks for the great challenge. Did you say someone is up to 1000 a day????? Sounds painfull as hell - LOL

Ok, so I have been working out like crazy and all of a sudden, I end up with a yeast infection. I haven't had one since I was a teenager wearing skin-tight jeans. Anyway, has this happened to anyone else? I'm thinking it could be from all the sweat, what do you think? Sometimes I am not able to shower for up to 2 hours…

By the way, I also weigh in on Monday.

I would like to join too. I have 17 lbs. to go. I am so sick of people around me saying "oh you dont have any weight to lose, you're thin enough" Thin enough for what???? I need to be comfortable with me and right now I'm not. Besides like someone else mentioned, clothes hide ALOT! I want to be able to go to the beach and…

Ok Banks, I tried it today too but I also failed miserably:sad: And I thought Tae-bo was a tough workout LOL. Your bootcamp workout made that seem like a leisurely stroll through the park. I am going to keep at it though and I WILL make it through it sooner or later. I wont quit until I can do it for 7 consecutive days.…

Ok Banks, I'm in. I'll try it and let you know how it works. I promise to give it my very best and stick to it for at least one week. At this point I am willing to try anything, besides it will give my kids another reason to laugh at me:laugh: They find it absolutely hillarious to watch me do Tae-bo, so this ought to…

welcome Celeste! I just joined two weeks ago and I love this site. Its so motivational and everyone is so supportive. I wish you luck in your journey to a healthier you. I believe in you:smile:

Wow another Michigander! This winter was hard wasnt it?!!! I see that you have lost 6lbs so dont let your gain weigh you down. Pun was intended:smile: Good luck to you this week, I know you can do it:wink:

Well, I feel great! It's my second week here and after the first week, I had gained 0.8 lbs. I was frustrated but you all encouraged me to keep trying and this week I lost 4 lbs. Thankyou all so much for your support and motivation. I truly believe that it made all the difference for me. I am sooooo appreciative. Thanks…

Well said Banks. Thanks I can always use a reality check now and again and at least the one I got from you makes sense.(not always so from some others that are in my life):smile:
