  • I would start now and I would lift heavy! Shame on the men at your gym for telling you that! I had really great advice from the men at my gym and no one was discouraging about lifting at all...maybe you just asked the wrong muscle head :) Good luck!
  • Homemade popcorn with lots of butter and salt! Mmmmm...I can almost taste it now!
  • I ran a Mother's Day 10k this year and they let your kids cross the finish line with you so my eight ran towards me at the end and then held my hand crossing the finish line...It was the only moment of running I have enjoyed so far...LOL!
  • Warm baths with epsom salt!
  • I feel like such a fool eating healthy and exercising for the last several months only to have the earth come to an end! I think I'll go eat a cookie ;)
  • I think you are already handling it well be giving most of what you bake away. You should be able to fit a small amount of the goodies you bake into your own diet without wrecking it. If you enjoy baking I think you should still do it. Eating Right magazine and their website have some great healthier recipes that you could…
  • I still have not lost but now I can definately tell that I am building muscle. Of course the flip side is I am eating more then I ever was before and am not gaining weight either!

  • Yes we do appreciate that! The saying is "Nice guys finish last"!
  • You have a good baseline now to see where you are and what you are eating! Now pick something to change and work from there. My suggestion would be to drop the almost 500 calorie coffee! That one coffee a day is enough to gain one pound of fat a week and so eliminating it is enough to lose 1 pound of fat a week! Also try…

  • When I started running about 2 years ago I felt like something always hurt. A knee, an ankle, me feet, my hips, shin splits...it was always something. I loaded up on ibuprofen and did the best I could. I found in the beginning I did better with 2 full rest days in between runs. Now I can run every other day without issue.…
  • I would say that in general I followed the nutrition plan, but when I figured my calorie range according to their figures I think it only gave me 1600 calories. After the 8 weeks was over and I hadn't lost weight or gained much muscle I contacted a trainer and he said I was not consuming enough calories. He suggested I eat…

  • I did the 8 week beginner program in January and February and I loved it! But I'm a huge GSP fan so I loved working out with him everyday :) I lost 8 inches over the 8 weeks but the scale didn't move at all. I now just incorporate the DVD's into my regular workouts so I do it 2x a week along with running and some other…

  • I love this song and when I listen to it I realize it isn't other people telling me these things but usually I'm saying it to myself! I also love F-ing Perfect by P!nk but the lyrics are a little much for here...LOL! Who says- Selena Gomez You made me insecure Told me I wasn’t good enough But who are you to judge When…
  • Sadly, I don't have any advice for you but I wanted to tell you good luck and happy training!
  • My husband says the same thing all the time and for whatever reason I just can't believe him...he is supposed to tell me I look great...right?! Funny how sweet it sounds coming from someone else!
  • I often wish my entire life could be like Phineas and Ferbs summer vacation!
  • What kind of casserole and have you prebaked it? I know I tried to freeze scalloped potatoes once before baking and it turned black, but when i precooked it and froze it, it worked fine. If you are doing something with noodles it can help to slightly underbake ( just a bit more al dente then you would normal like it...not…
  • Napping is good for you and studies have shown that people who are getting the right amount of sleep have an easier time losing weight! Poor sleep can lead to weight gain....so nap away!
  • I know I can practically hear them calling my name right now! Since people are horrible ar RSVPing I keep telling myself I need everyone of those cupcakes for tomorrow so no more tasting :noway:
  • New Zealand! It's on my bucket list!
  • I think it looks like what your eating is fantastic, but I do think you could probably up your calories a bit and just see what happens. I have lost virtually nothing in 6 months so I feel your pain! I have been tinkering with my calories to try to get it right but haven't stumbled across anything that works for me. I keep…
  • Just curious if you have gottn a response. Maybe the last server was wrong if you had so many others tell you it was vegetarian?!
  • It was an organized event here in Colorado!
  • I did follow a training plan. My local Title Nine store hosted a group run every sunday for the last several weeks and then gave us a training plan every week for 3 additional runs to do by ourselves. I generally only got in 3 runs total each week instead of the 4 recommended. If your already running 4 miles regularly you…
  • LOL...that is exactly how I feel about it! It is a true love/hate relationship for me!
  • How funny...I just ran my first 10k yesterday in an hour and 20 minutes LOL! congratulations on a job well done!!!!!
  • Running my first 10k!
  • seriously only McDonalds could screw up a perfectly healthy prepackage item like an egg! I can't understand why there are so many added ingredients.
