you are so motivated and dedicated! I'm putting my money on YOU!!!!! With all of the hills and and stroller pushing that you've been doing I think it is a very attainable goal!! Isn't it amazing what we can push our bodies to do?? I'd love to go under 2 as well..not sure it's going to happen this time around..but I can…

Weight watchers is awesome and the new program is very good. it encourages you to eat your fruits and veggies by calling most 0 points plus value..and encourages lean proteins and good carbs and healthy oils. it is a well rounded program that stresses portion control and has been successful for many for years! I actually…

I have always wanted to run a long distance race..but I finally did it for a friend. My friend's son has a devestating seizure disoreder and it is very rare..so they are trying to get more research for these poor children so they have a chance fo life. I told her I would do anything to help raise money for the Dravet…

it can be a challenge for sure! When my 2 were small, I'd put my younger one in a jogging stroller and my older one on her bike with training wheels...we have a nice bike path so it was very convient and safe..but you could also do it in your neighborhood depending on how busy it is with traffic. My older one also used a…

The other day my hubby told me my arms and shoulder muscles were distracting!!!! I LOVE to be a distraction!! :wink: Kep up the…

Must have been the rain becasue I've never had any issues with these shorts before..They are my favorite!! Other than that, bio freeze…

Of course the pictues I'm referring to are 14 years old!!..so who knows if I'll ever get there again! :ohwell: it's funny..in all my pictures I can pretty much tell you what I…

Sweetie! you are only 14?!? trust me..I am sure you are beautiful just the way you are!! We are all built different! My daughter is 14 as well and struggles with her self esteem! She has a very muscular build and wants skinny legs too..I tell her beauty comes from the inside out..your kindness and compassion will go much…
-
Yes!! take measurments! that is a super motivator..I bet you have lost some but are looking at them in comparison to the other places that you have lost more!
-
I hear ya! if you are a pear (like me..) I lose top to bottom..thighs are last to go! Grr!!:explode: But YES running and elliptical are a great way to go!!! Don't be afraid to do some weight training as well because they will look firmer and and boost your confidence! Don't give up! you are doing great!!! :smile:
-
If you're wondering..this is me sitting in an ice bath (torturous,:sad: but totally worked!) for the first time! Tore up my calves after a 12.7 mile hilly run last week, so this week tried this after my long run on Sunday..felt AMAZING on Monday!! So if you dare...try it!!! :wink:
-
I am running my first half marathon (Rock and Roll Half in Providence RI) this Sunday! Soo excited! never thought I could run over 10 miles..but you get into the zone!! good for you, you'll do great!!
-
if you have 10$ run to target and get 6 Weeks To 6 Pack Abs by Jillian Michaels..works the entire core..all of the muscles in my core started popping out after 2 workouts. You'll love it!!! i've heard P90X is awesome too!..if you don't want a dvd..do tons of Planks, leg lifts and cruches on a stability ball are good, too!…
-
great job!! keep it up!! you'll be addicted to running before you know it! :wink:
-
It doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong!!!! As a woman, you have to be at peace with fluctating weight..When I started losing i noticed the same exact thing! big loss, good loss, tiny loss then gain..then the cycle starts over again.. I started noticing this kind pattern after a few months and tried not to panic…

I agree with taking your cell phone and letting someone know that you are out running. I think it may be more motivating if you are not running a little loop..that could get monotonous! I use the www.mapmyrun.com and map out my runs..it will also show your elevations if you need to add hill training. I use a bike path…
-
I feel exactly the same way! it will not hinder your loss, just stay within your calories and try to make all of your calories count by eating quality foodsl! :smile: good luck!
-
I agree!! or the protien shake~ depends on how vigorous your workout is! :) Good luck!
-
I am 5'7.5 and weigh 145...I think 150 is a great goal!! it really depends on your frame size..see how you feel when you accompish that and then decide if you want to work on mantainance or go a bit lower!
-
1. Is it possible that there are people that just can't run no matter how hard they try? I think most anyone who wants to run can do it if they don't give up..take rest days to revcover especially when you are first starting! 2. Are there ways to get excited about running to motivate you? i think the goal of your half…
