6 months and 1 day left for me! i've been trying to workout and eat better, but i've been sick twice in the past 2 weeks! :explode:

Like it was said before...sprint training. have you ever tried to change the speed while going 12 mph. it ain't easy.

i say before. that way 1) you can settle down a little before going to bed and 2) your body is still burning cals in the hour after you workout.

I'm 142ish right now. looking to get around 130 (again). my profile pic was taken last night.

I just picked up my dress on Saturday and I can't wait to wear it on July 19th, 2013! (hoping to slim down a bit more too)

Nice combo! lol

I hate when people do that too...but some people have a favorite machine...and maybe that was his? lol. i do the same thing sometimes. i have a favorite elliptical and bike and i always try to use them no matter what.

what's worse than not reracking weights is when people can't put them back in the right spot. In my gym there are little stickers on every peg saying what weight goes on what peg....and i hate when i have to take 2 35lb plates off to get to the 10's i need because apparently people don't know their numbers!

faves: upper back and boobies! hates: lower back/lovehandles/hips and inner thighs.

unsweetened vanilla. I asked my fiance to buy it for me once and he got the sweetened one on accident (ugh, men!) and while it was absolutely delicious, I didn't even drink half of the carton because it's TOO sweet. I would just take a sip if i had a sweet tooth because it's like liquid dessert!

your hips and thighs look slimmer in the 2nd pic...but like everyone else said, you are smokin in both!

yes and no... i would not eat back ALL of my cals because, for example, if you get on the treadmill for an hour and you burn 500 cals it's not like you wouldn't have burned cals in that hour at all...so i would say eat SOME of those 500 back because MFP already accounts for your normal burn in that hour. here's what i…

when i fiance wears his softball cleats. they seem to emphasize how big his feet are...and we all know what that means. :drinker:

not gonna lie...it sucks the first couple days, but you're body will get used to it. =)

ok so I live in Indiana, but I'm about 20 mins from Chicago...so where does that put me?! lol

you make a good point about how a longer run would make the 5k seem shorter...i never thought of it that way! maybe i need to experiment and try this!

this too!

I usually rest the 2 days before a race, but i run races competatively so i need the rest so that my legs and body are ready to go. if you are just running the race as motivation to work out and you don't care about your time then i would say there's no harm in doing your run on friday.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! but i agree with above...just get rid of the stuff you crave. i always wake up and eat sweets.

i have flat feet and uneven hips....so my knees used to kill me when i picked up running at the beginning of this summer. but i got a pair of new balance 890's and they are magical!

I have a polar FT7, but I wish I would have gotten the FT40 since it has a VO2 test.

you don't have headphones for your phone?

i do this too...but i usually get angry about it. lol. but when i get angry i ususally go faster/lift heavier/go harder.

^^^yup! this and how much better i am then everyone else. when i get cocky i'm awesome.

well thank you! i haven't had my body fat tested since college basketball (about 4 years). like i said i just used my scale (who knows how accurate it is) and 3 or 4 other online calculators and just took the average of them all. they weren't too far off from each other tho...all right around 29. most of my fat is on the…

I am 5'4" 141lbs. I figured out my BF using my scale and about 4 other calculators online and i think i'm around 29%.

i think 10% is a pretty good amount of compensation. i had to take my engagement ring in twice to be fixed within the first couple weeks of having it and they gave me about a 5% rebate. it didn't take as long for them to fix mine as it did for yours though (only about a week for the 2 combined trips).

July 19th for me! got about 10, maybe 15 lbs i'd like to drop by then. my dress is a mermaid fit so i want to slim down a little so i can feel super confident showing off my curves!

I'm pretty sure my fiance has NASM. he paid like $800 and they sent him everything he needed to prepare for the test...a dvd, workbook, and textbook. he studied his *kitten* off and did the activities in the workbook...and he passed the test first try.

Yay me! I wish I could figure out the mother/daughter one tho!
