Being in the military and having to run no less than 2 times a week, I used to get HORRIBLE shin splints. I finally spoke with our physical therapist on base and he explained to me I was wearing the ABSOLUTE wrong kind of shoes for my foot and running style. He recommended a few pairs (and at least one week of NO running…

I actually went through the exact same thing a few years back. My husband was gone so much that i quit caring until one of my friends moved in to help me with the kiddos. well she was one of those that always did herself up even if we were just hanging out at the house that day. shortly after i started following suit and…

You know what i find amazing today... Yes i may have gone over on my calories today... but just like a lot of other people on here, am not beating myself up for it. I finally now realize that every now and then it's okay to go a little crazy and it not be a bad thing. I am so proud of everyone and myself for not letting…

I notice about 5 days out that my weight goes up about 2lbs and then the week of i'm up normally about 5lbs total... and then happily about 2 days after i end up back down and every now and then a few extra... woohoo

For me i feel completely silly working out by myself... and i feel super weird if my husband comes walking in on me... i would prefer to go to an actual class or to the gym where everyone else is doing the same thing... besides i find when i have other people around i tend to work out harder and longer and am less likey to…

That is so absolutely amazingly outstandingly awesome... CONGRATS!!!

Honestly, in my experience, you really shouldn't deprive yourself of a craving... now by NO means am i saying go eat an entire loaf of bread with a whole stick of butter and a whole jar of jam... but maybe have 1 piece with just enough of both to give the flavoring... what i've seen from my own experiences is if i keep…

This is a super easy one! CHOCOLATE!!! My mom always says she doesn't know how i'm her daughter and don't care for chocolate! And growing up in WI i could never give up my cheese, and visiting Germany really hooked me on the wine!!!

As a member of the USAF who happens to be currently deployed... It's the small things like your thanks that make it worth it to me and make me proud to do my job. Thank you so much for your support! :flowerforyou:

I actually JUST saw a spot on 20/20 about this... people are actually becoming OCD and basically anorexic from going overboard on the raw food thing. The people they interviewed seriously looked so sick and emaciated it was horrible. There was a guy who is running some sort of workshop pushing people into the raw food…

So i have been pretty much sucking at putting my calories in lately... i'm being very causious of what and how much i put into my mouth but with being deployed and not really knowing how they are cooking things and how much of what they put into things i haven't been tracking like i should... soooooo my new challange…

HMMMM what adds up here??? 1-3lbs with a sensible meal plan and exercise??? does this sound familiar to anyone??? Like what we are already doing WITHOUT a patch??? :ohwell: I must say though... there was something similar out a few years back and i was given a free sample and tried it out... lived my normal same life…

i think it's closer to 25... :ohwell:

i've had schnitzle in germany... jager schnitzle is amazing... it's regular schnitzle covered in a creamy mushroom sauce!!!

I'm a huge Sushi fan... Living in Japan has just added to my love of it!!!

my husband thought i was crazy last night because i was so excited!!! I swear never again will they return to their old home! oh and i'm sorry if they are out there hooking up with anyone elses... they are stubborn things but eventually they will listen as long as you keep telling them to get lost!

Just curious because when i got out of the shower last night i looked for them and they were GONE!!! WOOHOO... oh and just incase someone does end up seeing them around let them know they are no longer welcome in my home and they need to stay far far far away from me!!! I'll get a restraining order if i have too!!! :laugh:…

1359+8=1367

so i started thinking about it and decided that while i am out here in the desert working my butt off to loose weight, i should probably get myself into another good habit... taking my vitamins. Does anyone have any good suggestions or recommendations for a type? i know i always get hit for having low iron, and even though…

:grumble: So i really should have paid attention to this post when i read it earlier... i just ate a powerbar whole grain harvest bar and i think i am going to explode... my husband stopped up at work to see me and i told him that i thought i was going to explode... of course being a man he says "just let it go!!!" and…

soooooo first day was pretty successful! got off work at 0600 and went back to my room and did my arm work out video along with weights that i brought along with me. Went to sleep and got back up and hit the gym right away for 20 minutes on the elyptical and 15 minutes on the stationary bike. Lunch consited of a whole…

sucks to say i'm deployed and on opposite shifts of the hubby and this actuall happened to me... grrrrrrrrrrr If someone shaved my head i would probably scream... laugh... then panic about getting in trouble with the AF! What would you do if you lost hot water for a week and couldn't borrow anyone elses shower???

I would put it exactly half way between my parents and inlaws house so noone could complain that we live closer to the other one... What would you do if a co-worker refused to switch days off with you and it was the ONLY day you could see your significant other?

You have know idea how much that means to me! Honestly i am just doing my part! thank you so much!

i know the ones our gym on base used to have were these large bulky plastic stips that went all the way across the front and then had an elastic band in the back... thanks for the help guys...

Have you noticed any issues with the strap when you get overly sweaty? all you do out here is sweat for the most part and then adding the gym to it too doesn't help any either...

So i've been thinking about doing this for the past few days but just keep putting it off... actually it's probably more like running away from the responsibility i have to myself during this prime oppertunity. I am currently on a 4 month deployment to the desert (no worries no place extremely bad... just can't say where…

I know I have seen a million questions posted on here about Heart Rate Monitors, but I am completely stupid when it comes to them :blushing: . I am currently deployed and do a TON of walking and try to work out as much as possible. I've decided that this may be a wise purchase to make but like I said I don't know anything…

this is the site i use... www.nutritiondata.com not only does it create a nutritional fact sheet for your personal recipe, it also has what is good and bad about your recipe, if it's good for weight loss or gain, nutrients balance and much more! it seems pretty easy to use too!
