monday: nada- sick :( tuesday: nada- sick :( wednesday: walk 30 minutes/145 calories so far: 30 min/145 calories to go: 330 minutes/3355 calories ...so i am thinking that i am not going to make the goal this week...my nose has been a broken faucet since sunday and my schedule has been crazy packed...if i can make it to 180…

keep up the great work :) you have been working so hard and deserve the awesome success :)

exactly :)

shake it off, try to keep in check for the rest of the day and then get an extra few minutes of working out to help counteract the doughnut...munchies happen, the key is not to dwell and let it ruin the rest of your day...try to move on and do better next time :)

I am in again :)

I am definitely not an expert but I trained for mine in 9 weeks and the longest I had ran prior to starting training was 6...i loosely used this training plan: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-244--6851-2-2X5X8-4,00.html a runner friend of mine suggested increasing long runs by a mile a week (so 7 miles…

i have been a munchie machine this week (and not always with good stuff) :( but i managed to maintain which is good :) my half marathon is tomorrow so i'm going to give myself a good yummy meal tomorrow night! :) :) :) hopefully when i am not training my appetite will go back closer to normal :) have a great weekend! :)

can i join in? i'm mostly in maintenance...i have stayed steady between 127 and 129 lbs for the last 6-8 weeks...i'd really like to teeter closer to 125 but so far my body thinks otherwise :) as long as i am under 130 lbs and still working out consistently i am okay...though my weight is staying consistent, i have been…

okay so i have to ask...has anyone else found that you are CONSTANTLY hungry the further you get in the training...even on your off or less intense days? i can't stop feeling hungry...and for the most part i've been eating relatively healthy things but i can't stop the hungry feeling in my stomach!!! i haven't really…

i love to rollerblade...its my favorite workout that doesn't always feel like a workout! :)

Marcie...i use mapmyrun.com to map out my runs before i go (or after sometimes)...it is free and easy :) you can create a login and save your runs in a training log and you can calculate your distance and miles per hour...not quite as fancy as a gps watch but it has helped me a lot in training :) good job to everyone on…

i would weigh in both times and record both weights for yourself...that way you can celebrate what you have lost (or maintained) since your last weigh in but still keep aware of all that you enjoyed while celebrating your birthday!!! :) you should enjoy your birthday and i think you have a good plan to get in a workout at…
