Sad but oh-soooo true...

1/4 cup cream of wheat (semolina) + 1/2 cup lite milk + 1 cup water, cook. Add sliced banana + granny smith apple + tsp vanilla extract = 365 calories/12g protein/70g carbs/3g fat/34g natural sugars, no added processed sugar/64g sodium).

Originally from Canada but living in Australia !

I also have a 10km race coming up this Sunday. My last long run was Saturday and I've been running 3 to 4 miles every other day since but @ an easy pace ! Will be taking Saturday off so I'm fresh and rested Sunday :-)

This !!!

Nope, don't believe in "cheat days" as I am not on a "diet" ! Took me a while to understand losing weight and keeping it off was more a matter of lifestyle than being on a "diet". Counting calories allows me to keep an eye on CICO and if I fancy a burger & fries, I have a burger & fries, no food groups/type of foods…

Treadmill --> 5km (3.1 miles) run in 30 minutes

For me, going to the gym (the dreaded, dirty word, for some) serves a purpose, several actually --> Getting me off my butt and out of the house is number one. Then comes the goal setting while walking the 1.4 km to the gym (I COULD drive but chose not to) and then the act of pushing (not punishing) myself to achieve the…

Pop Tarts...LOOOOOVE these little buggers :D

Ah yes, the answer to the famous/infamous question ---> "Stop stuffing your face, get off your duff and get a wiggle on", to put it bluntly ! It's not rocket science, there is no magic pill/juice/diet, just plain old common sense (which doesn't seem to be as "common" as you think) and hard work. The principle of "eating…

Currently training for a 10K and I use the "My ASICS" training plan ---> http://www.asics.com.au/about-myasics . You can choose a half-marathon plan if you so wish and you decide how many times/week you want to train.

Oh Wowwwwwwwwwwww ! You are ALL absolutely FABULOUS, peeps ! Stand tall, be proud, you've worked incredibly hard :smiley:

<--- Runner here as well, training for a 10km race in May ! Enjoy your runs, big or small, good and not so good, just RUN :smile:

After 32 years, stopped smoking September 1st 2014 using transdermal patches and gum !

48 years old Height: 5'2" Starting weight: 130 lbs Current weight: 107 lbs Goal: Started out thinking I needed to be on a "diet" to lose the pounds, only to realize over time (been here just over a year now) that it was more about making a permanent lifestyle change that's enjoyable & sustainable. Healthy eating habits…

That getting older doesn't automatically mean you're condemned to putting on weight & being unfit ! At 48, I'm now a lean, mean, fitting machine instead of a pudgy, lazy, couch potato :wink:

This ! :smile:

^^^ This ! :)

Owned a Fitbit Flex for about a year (loved it) and recently upgraded to a Charge HR...love it even more ! Fabulous motivation gizmo (for me anyway) and the HR is making me up the intensity of my workouts, LOVE IT to bits ! I'm here if interested ---> https://www.fitbit.com/user/2FPG5F

I'm 48 years old, lost 22 lbs, went from couch potato to running 5km to 8km 3 times a week (currently training for a 10km event) and log ALL my food (good and not so good) everyday ! Feel free to add me :smile:

Wowwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! Well done :smiley: Thanks for sharing and thank you for your support this past year, you keep me pushin' and stickin' to my goals, no matter how small - Nat
