  • So the 5 lbs isn't too terribly much but I can afford to lose a good 10. My bodyfat is much higher than ideal. I got a rude awakening when I did hydrostatic testing. I am officially skinny fat. I know my inability to keep it clean longer than a month is the cause.
  • I am glad this thread is active again. I am 4 weeks in with levothyroxine. I do not need to lose weight, I was more interested in getting my energy back. I had an immediate response but I have a long way to go. It will be interesting to see what my levels are in a couple weeks. I am still struggling with fatigue, but at…
  • I eat for anything over 10 miles or if I wake up hungry will have a banana.

  • The only way I am able to lose weight while marathon training is to log (of course) and keep my weekley deficit to no more than 1/2 lb per week. Also, I often mistake thirst for hunger, so I have to make sure I drink 1.5 - 2 gallons a day. I am going to start training for my 4 th marathon in June and for the first time…
  • Any particular reason why you are using a hospital grade pump? Those are more for mommas that need help increasing supply (like me). That would be great if you were able to donate! I have used donor milk for both of my kiddos.
  • I am EP'ing. Its been hard for me to figure out how much to add in. You may need to do just trial and error.
  • I love my vitamix! Its the only way I can get my 4 year old to eat his greats. I dont usually measure so this is a guesstimate. 8-10 oz pinapple 1 cup of trop 50 banana orange 2 cups kale or spinach
  • Most races don't allow it. Personally I wear them for everything except trail runs. If you choose to wear them be aware of other people. If you are a slower pace please dont line up at the front. I am a speedy runner and I don't call out "on your left" or generally expect people to get out of my way.
  • No liquid calories Minimal artificial sweetener A gallon of water per day Everything is fair game in moderation I will almost always go over calories on my rest day..rule is to keep it clean Always pack healthy snacks / don’t get too hungry
  • I did not read all of the responses but I would suggest starting with a half marathon first before even considering a marathon. I am currently training for my third and starting to get into the higher mileage. I remember with my second I would be worthless for a couple hours afterward and had to give my legs a break. After…
  • Chicken breast, broccoli, peanut butter
  • I am new to MFP but not to the dieting world. I have been doing my tracking old school pen and paper until yesterday. I am on here all the time, it helps me stay motivated. Feel free to add.
  • I am going to start using the real stuff, it will be so much easier to track that way. I can already feel a difference in my body, its deflating from all the crap! It baffles me how I was ever able to get in shape (pre baby) pouring that stuff all over my broccoli....I am still getting over the shock of it....I am doing a…
