If you have an android or an iphone you should definitely check it out. I run with headphones and phone attached for music. I like going outside and I start the program and my music player and a robot lady prompts me to run or walk. I have found though on the distance runs its sometimes kinda inaccurate. Like today it was…

Yes it is! I still run in intervals and have been at this for a long time. Just increase your running time gradually and it will feel easier as you go. If I need a little boost I go back to the week 1 just to do one of those runs and see how I do. My favorite thing in the couch to 5k program rundouble has is their zero to…

Thanks I might try the landscaping fabric idea. This picture was before cabbage worms figured out my cauliflower was so tasty. I have since found a pesticide to use (crossing fingers) your search you posted led to a search for what I was thinking about which was something like a root barrier fabric. Unfortunately the way…

Attitude and physical abilities. Weekends- I have a pretty active job so other than the gym there isnt much activity on the weekend. I need to work on that though. I have hypothyroid so all bets are off. I used to be about 210 pounds a few years ago. As long as you keep a positive attitude and try your best to not get…

Ok now that I figured out how to put a picture on here. the water pump and net and pvc watering loop is inside the bin, the roots have since become so big that they are attacking the sprinklers and pump on the inside which I can only open enough now to refill :(

No, a resounding no. Just my 2 cents. If you are around the same people every day they may not notice. However, if you see relatives and friends you saw when you were heavier and see again they may or may not say anything because weight is a touchy personal subject for many. Keep up the awesome work and dont get discouraged

I would say you need to talk to your doctor and as far as the recruiter, you may have to request a waiver. If you get the waiver you are probably good to go. And you should also talk to your Dr about any supplements you are considering taking as I have this condition and have been told to take nothing because it could risk…

the whole bag will do that to anyone :) Another good Idea I just thought of is the crock pot! If you have not used one I highly suggest it. I will throw in 2lbs of pork tenderloin and some low sugar pulled pork mix and have a healthy alternative to pulled pork for a week at a clip. You can also make super easy stuff with…

since you said you arent that good with cooking and you want to do some stuff thats healthy and quick, can you hard boil eggs? If you can you can make a filling salad (thats right, filling) some spinach some nuts 2 hard boiled eggs some dressing Also, I make whats called some not so evil deviled eggs. Make deviled eggs…

I was brave. I tried the protein peanut butter cup for a snack when I had the munchies. I will say this If you can eat slowly, like dark chocolate or european chocolate, and like natural peanut butter you will like them, or have made your own PB cups and liked em (I did and like these things) However, if you are expecting…

I actually picked some of these up today. I tried the cookies and cream and it was good after the first bite or two. The peanut butter cups I also tried this evening for a snack. Those are delicious. I don't think I could overeat with these. I don't know how long it lays but gnc was having one of their "sales" but they are…

I did that to get my macros in line but the calorie amount is an enigma to me still. I saw one for 7 months while they got my meds figured out and then my insurance stopped covering it

This makes sense too to me because I have hypothyroid. They never tested for hashis. Damn, still confused.

Thank you, I looked at your profile and what you have accomplished and it makes sense to do that now. I also signed up with a different trainer at my gym because heavy lifting seems to make much much more sense than the little 10 pound dealies EDIT: I also dont know how "active" I am. some days work is a desk job and…

Well, here's my opinion. I don't think she's a close friend if she didnt invite you to her wedding-no matter how different it is. You should carry on with what you had planned to do in the first place. In my early twenties the girls I knew did this whole invite and uninvite to eachothers weddings bs and that was what it…

Mine too, but he knows it. Props to you scotty! I see many couples that when one has drastic weight loss there's a divorce, same thing with gain, or cheating, or a multitude of other things. Good for you. I feel like I'm one of the only people that don't want to lynch this dude. To many people, not me because I work in IT,…

SHORTS and tank tops, and wear a tank top without a cardigan.

When I was messaging the representative she told me that it was about 2-4 weeks. I really hope I will actually like these because they are loaded with fiber, I can never hit the magic 25 even with tons of veggies.

Thanks a bunch OP I have been wanting to try these, I asked on the website and they are sending them. I hope they taste ok AWESOME!

thanks for the timetable. I think it might stick around for a week because even though I had that really bad day I looked at my sodium for that and days afterward and it was through the roof. I have started to do the constant peeing last night and it was down more this morning, thank goodness. Not down to normal but closer.

What you mentioned as strength training sounds like alot of cardio to me especially the part about burpees and mountain climbers. If I do weightlifting I don't count what the HRM says and fitbit usually tells me about 100-150 calories for about 40 minutes. In a 30 minute interval run (depending on the intervals and how far…

Oh Jeez, I looked at your post, and then I read some of that forum and I was sorely wrong. I meant Aeroponics, and feel kind embarassed now :blushing: Aquaponics does look pretty cool, but its probably waaay more expensive than what I am doing The thing is aeroponic. It was super easy for him to make too. He took a…

My thyroid is whacked out of its damn mind. So is my mother's. I gain and lose throughout the day with no rhyme or reason. I suggest you talk to a doctor, they will examine you and you can request that they test for it. You should tell them about anything that has been a little unnormal. You should also invest in a food…

Please do not do hcg diet. Yes you will lose weight if you do it and you will lose it rapidly but you can do yourself alot of harm by only eating 500 calories a day. I tried this diet when I was younger and it was a very dumb thing to do in hindsight. I did it with a few of my girlfriends and we all gained the weight back…

To start off I am a huge nerd. I have a fitbit force (I didnt get a rash after a very long time having it so I kept it). I thought about turning it in, but I like having a watch, and to see activity minutes is kind of motivating to make me do more. It is small and discreet, looks like a watch, and it is a watch. I also…

I know! I looked those little things up and what the heck are they made of to do that. My go to calorie dense snack is still peanut butter and some bananas its like 480 calories 4tbs pb and 2 small bananas but its all real food

I have been keeping up. I posted om my blog my week from polar flow (the cool app that came with my heart rate monitor). I cant really do a straight jog or run for 3 miles all at once so I jog a mile, and walk for a while and continue on. Since this is an objective I have for myself, not necessarily the 5k a day but the…
