you can tape for shin splits. But it could also be your bones trying to build up density for this new activity. Make sure you are getting enough calcium.

I have 150 lbs to lose still even though I have lost 44. I just ran 1/2 a mile tonight. It can be done. Baby steps. I will be running a 5K again in March.

I usually have a shake for lunch or I fix up my lunch the night before from my dinner leftovers. I love leftovers. I portion them out into glad containers and throw them in my luchbox on my way out of the door. The past few weeks, I have been having a shake instead because I just don't have time for lunch sometimes. It has…

you are awesome! Keep it up!

wow!

my husband and I have Cleocatra 13 yr old tabby, Stewart 7 yrs old and the 3 little kittens that lost their mittens- Arlo aka silver bullet, Ashes, and our creamsicle, Skittles that are 4 months old boys. Yes, we have 5 cats. They are indoor/outdoor cats with their own door. We love them all. We are THOSE people.

that is fantastic!

bump

wow! You are awesome

I don't drink but I go out. I am gluten intolerant so people never expect me to eat. I love to socialize and drink lots of water. It is a win/win situation!

you are fantastic

I count them. However, I just ate a little broccoli. I will include that in my dinner.

I told this to my bass player husband. He LOL'd all over the place. This is a great one. However, my bass player is our breadwinner. But his playing time went away after our first baby except on rare occasions. I do love to watch him play though......

Spark fruit punch or grape made by Advocare. 45 calories a serving. IT is an energy drink that improves mental focus and is loaded with vitamins. My #1 must have every day.

my issue is all the whet they put in everything! I am severely gluten intolerant. I am down to about 4 oz of meat a day as I cannot seem to get anywhere near 1000 cals a day with just veggies and fruits. I have eliminated dairy from my diet as cheese is a trigger food. I refuse to eat processed foods because I want the…

Ouch! I know. I keep telling people that my statute of limitations is running out on that excuse. lol

This!!! The exception being porn. Men need porn every now and again. Hiding it is cheating though. Talking to other women online is also cheating. Now, if my husband was to have a a girlfriend that cleaned my house, then that would most likely be okay. WE have this agreed upon. If she will double as a maid, then I will…

that is why I had to eliminate all dairy. I cannot resist cheese. I am on day #11. I quit smoking after 12 years and have no idea how long it has been but I will never forget about the day I walked away from cheese.

I got this way, gained 100 lbs, from an undiagnosed medical condition. Then I gained an additional 50 lbs at least due to the depression from having these issues and not knowing why I could not control myself. There was a lot of beating myself up. After finding out what it was, I dropped about 40 lbs over 6 months but then…

Tomatoes! I hated them for 35 years. Tried to make myself like them so life would be easier. 10 days ago something snapped at the grocery store. I saw a roma tomato that called out to me so I bought 2. Every since then, I have them in my breakfast and in my dinner daily. Vegetables have also done this to me. I cannot get…

I booooo on WW too. I used it but it was far too confusing. I like the straight forwardness of MFP!

I am a severely gluten intolerant. My mom broke down and bought some GF noodles for a family get together so I wouldn't have to bring my own food. She told me first thing, "I am never going back to regular pasta again. These noodles taste so much better and are lower in calories." They are made with brown rice. Super yummy.

I drink my vitamins in my energy drink by Advocare called Spark. I love the stuff and besides water, it is all that I drink. I have been using it for about 15 years.

I have fallen off more times than I can recall but as long as I keep on trying, I am in the winning zone. If you give up totally, then you are a loser. Keep on going. Add me if you want.

I have the Kindle 2. It is older but I LOVE IT! I use it all the time with everything.

since I switched my diet in the last two weeks to mostly vegetables, I am not suffering from those cravings anymore. It is AWESOME!!!!

*back when I was much smaller a guy literally said to me after I rebuffed him that he was "going to find himself a fat chick and a 6 pack." That is STILL the most offensive, disgusting thing I have ever heard. Another is being unkind to animals, unemployment and homophobia.

cut out sodium for a week and find out what your real weight actually is.

wow wow wow!

I am a full time physical therapy assistant student. I will love it once I get an job. I love to help people and I like that this job will require me to stay in shape.
