1. You are a runner. 2. No need for gell stuff for half marathon distance. 3. You have a great base to work from. No doubt you could easily train and do it. 4. Time for your first doesn't matter. Just focus on finishing. 5. Do get some decent running shoes. From a good store that specializes in running and can help fit…

Yeah, that would have been easier. lol I found a place to shrink the pic and uploaded it again. And thank you! In your profile. You'll see your ticker. Beneath it there is a link that says "Personalize my ticker".

I take 10Mg of IR Adderall twice a day. I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid. I didn't treat it for years. Actually, only started taking it in my 40s. I take a very small dose. So many years of dealing with it on my own, I developed a lot of coping skills that helped a lot. I built a successful career and a great life. But I…

I wanted to be different. I wanted the world to know I was a rebel. I wanted to do something that would make me unique - not like everyone else of my generation. So I didn't get any tattoos. I know. Crazy.

Not sure. I think you're nood.

The only "problem" with sugar is that it often comes packaged in empty calories. Sugar from fruit is awesome. Don't worry about it.

email them to me. I can help. :flowerforyou:

If you understand what science is, that question makes no sense. In less understood areas of discovery, scientists find new things and test new theories all the time. Sometimes, something that is generally accepted is changed somewhat when a new discovery is made. It doesn't make the old understanding wrong. Like with the…

It's clear you believe it, and you have had success. And that's awesome. But it isn't closed minded. It's science. You know your experience. What you don't know is what would have happened if you'd continued the larger deficit.

That's the one I use.

Yeah, but you're overweight in the right... never mind. :love:

You're kidding! Your before and after is amazing. Great work, man.

An attractive woman at work said I looked really good, but prefaced it with a sexual harassment disclaimer. lol Somehow it was more flattering that way.

Oh God. I turned into one of "those people", didn't I?

It's too bad no one has ever done any research to see what happens when people eat a very low calorie diet and exercise a lot. It would be good to know how it really effects metabolism in real world conditions in real people. Oh wait. They did. Turns out they lost weight.

That was all I was thinking. Did you write more after that?

That's what I take. Works great and I haven't noticed any side effects at all.

She tried that. It didn't work. Thus, this thread. More likely answer was suggested above. Probably was eating more than she realized.

I do. Was going to have to start taking a second. Then I lost 20 lbs. Don't need the second any more. Hope to kick the first one if I lose more. Only effect it has on my life is 5 seconds every morning putting it in my mouth and having a drink of water. Side effects for the second sounded less attractive. Glad I won't be…

Prolly. Even though their animated GIF can only be seen on gifpal.com

Eating at a calorie deficit, it's unlikely that she's building any muscle at all. Some of the people here who are trying to build muscle have a hard time eating enough to make it happen. I can't wait to have that problem. (edit) And the scale is a tool. A good one. It's not everything, but it's far from nothing. It is the…

I honestly look for every thread I can find where someone is suggesting that eating more will result in more weight loss. I just want to be sure someone points out that it will work 0% of the time. Sorry you had to prove the point the hard way.

You are my new favorite person. 30

Huh. I just looked at your pics. I'm not sure you have 25 lbs. of fat to lose!

Whew. That's a lot. Seems right at the edge of what's possible. Not saying you can't do it, but hope you aren't setting yourself up for disappointment. I would think it would take an enormous amount of will power and dedication. Good luck!

My scale moved three pounds yesterday. Weird. But it happens. Back down this morning after some quality time reading a magazine. I've had that happen too. Never understood that.

Hey, looks like that did it! Thanks.

Okay, I just linked MMR to MFP, and unlinked MMR from Up. Going out for a run. We'll see how that works!

Try a butt pic. It'll work.
