At that weight before running I was a size 12 pants/small top (I have a tiny upper body and larger lower half). Aftter running, at that weight, I'm a size 10 bottom and s/m top.

I'd do one more long run this weekend...do 10-11 miles. Then next weekend taper (5-7 miles). Then the half marathon. Good luck! I'm doing my second half next weekend.

And I admit that I go to the gym and scope out the men. But I do actually workout, also.

Ding, ding, ding!

I am sure you got a lot of good advice above. I didn't see anyone mention breathing. However, that's huge when running. I'd suggest learning how to do deep breathing. You want your lungs to open up and allow oxygen in them while running...so you have to learn how to breathe/run at the same time. When I first start running,…

I think obsession is almost normal to be successful at this process.

That sounds good. I heard that some protein powders lose potency when heated, can that one be heated?

When was the tooth pulled? The last time I got a tooth pulled, I was told my exercise for 3-4 days. I'd not risk it...I was still pretty groggy and in pain for several days after the tooth was pulled. I'd also not worry about calories for a few days. Just relax, just a journey not a race...a week or so of no exercise and…

Instead of worrying about time of day, just make sure it's done.

?? I do not get it.

I did the water test last yr. My BMI was exactly the same as the online test.

No loss for two weeks is not a plateau.

No excuses!

No excuses!

There are a ton of ice creams that are reasonable and can fit into a plan. I just had 2/3rds CP of ice cream for less than 200 cals. It's sort of important to learn how to encorporate these indulgences while losing vs trying to stave yourself of all the good stuff until goal.

I did yoga to videos for several months before trying a class. The instructor raved about how great my form was... I suggest doing Gaiam yoga at home. They are great at giving thorough instruction.

Pastries, sweet bread, cakes and cream filled cookies.

I think it's pretty cool and cutting edge of him. Being obese doesn't have to have negative unhealthy effects on the body. However, I bet he gets a lot of business once he has been there, done that. No different than any other study, imo.

I work out in the morning, and just recently started doing some afternoon days. It just depends on how I feel. I like getting it done early, then I have the rest of the day to not worry about bailing on exercising. I have the tendency to make a lot of excuses at work vs. when I am barely awake. I could not wake up at 4:30.…

Wtg, Janet!!

Get fitted!!

Get fitted!!

Yep, I got my arm skin removed this summer, I'd like to get my tummy and boobs done.

Discipline and the commitment I made to myself to work out. I go to spin on tues and thurs at 5:30am, I hate it. But it's done by 6:30. I do other stuff on Monday and friday--Friday I'm up at 5, and mondays are at 6:30. Evening exercise is too unpredictable. Morning exercise gives me limited times to come up with excuses.

Running is 95% mental. I've been running for 4-5 yrs. I go through periods where the sky is the limits. I also go through periods where I can't push through. I'm in a slump now, and I was having a hard time not stopping after 1 mile, for what, I have no idea. I've done a half before, so certainly I can push through. Well,…

I do the curly girl method. No/low shampooing, conditioner washing. No silicones, no sulfates. I use a gel for hold. My curls are awesome. You may want to go to a deva-trained cutter to get a cute cut, then think about products. The cut is what makes curly hair, imo. Good luck! And hooray for being a survivor!!!

Anything you enjoy and can commit to.

Ditto show them off! Who cares how big they are? Michelle Obama wears her guns proud!

I'm sorry, I hate that type of music during my spin classes! I like plain music with a good beat.
