Got in only 18 miles for week 2. 48 total so far. I haven't even done any miles for the past few days. This new job is kicking my butt. I'm hoping to get a few miles in this weekend. Nice to see everyone moving along with their mileage. :love:

That video is amazing! Count me as one of the people here who got teary eyed. :blushing: Jonathon, you mentioned that you lift weight every day. That's crossed my mind to do this because it's easier for me to stick with something if it's a daily habit. But then I read that muscles need to rest a couple of days after being…

That's freaking awesome! I can see how you managed to lose 70 lbs - pure dedication!

That sounds like a win. Sometimes it feels like I've blinked my eyes and all of a sudden my kids are 5 years older. Where did the years go? Get whatever time you can to spend with your son. Those are the best memories. :-) And kudos for staying committed to fitness!

Yesterday marked the end of week one and I managed 30 miles. BUT I start a new job next week….it'll be a real commitment then to get those miles in. How's everyone doing so far? Good, I hope!

The reminder is appreciated. Sorry you had to be the example. :-(

LOL, it'd take more than a flatter chest to make a woman look like a man.

Read the thread title and thought, "Congratulations!" I say enjoy the perks of having a smaller bust and focus more on the body parts you think are fabulous when boob-envy tries to get the best of you.

Might be in a little over my head, but I'm in. :)

I couldn't go back to eating Subway after having Jimmy Johns. They have a veggie sub with avocado and mayo that is heavenly. Totally worth the extra calories and having to do more exercise.

1-800-222-1222 will get you your local poison control center. Don't mess around with this chemical. I've gotten a couple root canals (and more to come :cry:) and the info about sodium hypochlorite had me considering just pulling the teeth. Request that the dentist use a dental dam next time. (And try to go to a different…

I totally believe people eat 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving. Anyone familiar with that Aussie Cheese Fries appetizer at Outback Steakhouse? 2,900 calories. I used to order that instead of ordering from the dinner menu, thinking it was saving me some calories. Boy was I wrong!!!

Wear what you feel comfortable in. I hardly notice other people at the gym and am thinking most people are the same.

Even if we have to count calories the rest of our lives and stay more active than others, isn't being fit and healthy worth the effort? Instead of viewing having to do these extra things as depressing, see them as positives. We have the ability and knowledge to change our bodies for the better. We are only destined to…

Okay, got my food plan set to 180g carbs, 135g protein, and 60g fat. It's still lowering my carbs by over half. Guess that counts as low carb for me. :laugh:

When I plug the lower carbs into my goal setting, the higher protein and fat throws me for a loop. I can't see eating that much protein and fat. Heaven for some, but gross for me. I think I'll focus on lowering the sugar intake from non-produce sources. It'll lower my carbs and calories without too much fuss.

A gif showcasing one of the hottest boy bands back in the day? Racism was the last thing on my mind. New Edition still makes my heart melt. <3

What do you consider a low carb diet? I'm looking for support as I lower my carb intake, but was planning on striving for 120 grams a day. I don't think carbs are bad, I just have a habit of eating sugary foods with little nutritious value and would like to work on correcting this. Would your group be a good fit for…

Or confusion. Every time I look up strength programs it's overwhelming. So I keep it simple with push ups and assisted pull ups. Maybe one day I'll get motivated to do more..

Do I want obesity to be eradicated? Heck yeah! Do I think some woman passing out shaming letters on halloween is going to get the job done? Not a chance. My kids are the furthest thing from being overweight, but I still care about their health. I talked to their principal the other day, asking if they ever thought of…

Trick or treating comes with an expectation of getting a treat, usually candy sometimes money or stickers or whatever. This woman handing out a smarmy letter is like a food bank advertising to the needy that they'll be handing out food, but then when the needy arrive there's an hour-long religious preaching session they…

LOL, we must've posted near the same time. I was shaking my head at this story. Why pass out candy at all? Passing out candy is supposed to be for fun and to reward the kids who show off their costumes. It's not judgement time for fat kids and their parents.

When he asked for the pic, was he hanging out with anyone? I have a relative who thinks it's the funniest thing to take a friend's phone and text *kitten*. Maybe it was someone playing a prank? Off chance, but it happens. Talking to your friend about the incident is really the only way to know for sure, and if you don't…

I'd rather see a child attached to a rein than to some car's front bumper. My youngest was such a runner I couldn't even get a rein on him. I had to run everywhere with him or carry him kicking and screaming. We didn't go out much like I did with my older kids.

Thank you for teaching your children to help those in need. So true about bullies losing their power when all the kids start taking action.

My husband did Atkins (for a diet challenge too). He won the challenge by losing 15 lbs in a month, but as soon as the challenge was over he gained it all back (and then some). I think a person has to really like doing a low carb diet to make it work long term.

Self-imposing a dietary restriction can make it easier to resist typical treats served at holiday parties. But if you go paleo and want to lose weight, don't ditch calorie counting. I went paleo for a while and actually gained weight because fatty meat wasn't satisfying my appetite as much as grains and legumes do. I know…

That point of yours is an interesting thought. I wonder if a man has ever fought in court for the woman to get an abortion because he has moral objections to bringing a child into the world.

A 50 lb loss is nothing to sneeze at. Congrats!
