great job! keep up the hard work! one day we'll get to where we are going, but i think these are the most important days, because we'll learn so much from the journey.

i would suggests trying to adjust your footfalls so they don't thud like that just for your knees and feet. going to a running store is a good place to start as the right shoes can help a lot with that. and like someone else said, its hitting with your heel first, try to aim for the lower middle of your foot when you run…

i've been doing spin for about a month now. usually 3x a week. LOVE it! i was formerly a runner on a regular basis, but i really enjoy spin. its probably the only indoor cardio i can tolerate. love the music, and the variation. i've lost weight and inches since starting but i've been eating well and doing additional…

the worst food i've ever put in my mouth. i spit them out twice and almost barfed. i've never had that kind of gag reflex from anything else and i've tried some gross things. but, that's me and we all have our own preferences. if you are desperate for a pasta replacement give them a try, why not. worst thing that can…

get some air popped popcorn. there are lots of options now of prepopped popcorn that's super tasty. my favorite is at costco. its coconut oil and sea salt popcorn, i forget what its called. 4 cups of it is less than 140 cals. if you want to eat just for the sake of stuffing your face a snack like popcorn is the BEST. or,…

i love salad too. one of my favorites is to take a can of beans, a can of corn and 1 1/2 cups of salsa and mix it all together. then i just split that into 4ths and use it for a couple days. plus, if still want a creamy dressing i use the fat free wishbone ranch. it ends up going a lot further since i use the salsa also,…

this is fantastic! good for you! i'm not there yet, but i have been there in the past and i know what you are talking about. i finally made the jump to a smaller pants size and feeling confident about that was fantastic. its funny how you can lock yourself up in your old clothes because it feels safer there. to make the…

i agree with everyone on this. its been the most successful thing about my 20 lb weight loss also. i finally stopped trying to restrict my diet and cut things out and finally just decided to learn about the food and count my calories. now i enjoy my food, i enjoy losing weight, and i enjoy cooking, because i know that i…

honestly i'm still super confused by that one. i think if you are traveling in the crosswalk you are supposed to use the crosswalk signal. the first question i was asked when the fire men showed up is if the crosswalk signal was on or if i had used it. naturally i hadn't, because that's not how it works, but it made me…

rules of the road for cyclists: drive the same direction as traffic. stay in the bike lane, however if one is not available, ride as close to the side as possible. if it is unsafe to ride on the side then you should join the regular driving lane and become part of the flow of traffic even if this slow down traffic. obey…

that is truly fantastic. you are an inspiration! i'm taking the step of finding friends on here today too, although i've only used MFP regularly for about a month and a half. i'm very thankful for this resource. i can't wait to have a story like yours!

haha :smile: i do want to be friends. i personally prefer to crochet but i absolutely agree with the sentiment. good for you. (i have one broken key on this keyboard and its the exclamation mark, very annoying) i had to start focusing on the weight loss after the pregnancies because they were both kind of surprises…

i've been logging on my diary daily for over a month and half :) learning a lot and finally finding success. i don't know how many times i've tried before, and finally things just clicked and i'm doing it for real. i haven't even tried to find friends yet, but i've been lurking in the message boards for several days now…

btw, you guys are crazy fast. i hope to be that fast someday.

i've only been running since october, and i certainly am not as fast as you, but i have run two 5ks and two halfs and i've increased my speed with every race. the most dramatic increase was between my first half (3 hrs even, flat ground) and my second half (2:52, loooooots of hills :smile: ). the major difference between…
