This week makes 1 year I have been using MFP and I must admit I could not have had the success I have without it. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2594079504523.123071.1630750960&type=3

Chocolate milk is a great way to get the fat and protein you need to recover from a run. You need to get It within 30 minutes of the end of your workout. I have founf my recovery from my long runs (10 miles or more) is faster if I drink Chocolate milk. But I only use water if I run 5 or less miles, I just use a sports…

Just wanted to give an update. I have gained about 12 lbs back, I believe it is because while I am training for the Derby Festival Marathon on the 28 of April. I need way more carbs than I was eating when I was losing the 100 lbs. When I finish the race I plan to get back on the old lower carb eating plan. I feel really…

Thanks for the motivation

Hi my name is Dave, I live in Leavenworth, Kansas. Christmas 2011 my youngest grand-daughter sat on my lap and rubbed my belly and said "You've got a big belly Papa, are you going to have a baby?" I had been dabbling with losing some weight, I would walk for a few days and then quit for whatever reason. Well I made the…

I am doing really good with my marathon training and feeling more confident that I will be able to do it around 4 1/2 hours. I have knocked 1 minute off my mile time over the last few weeks.

@beki18, I have ran 4 half marathons and several 10k's, a 15k and several 5k's. I found several training plans online and mixed them up and put together my own.

The plan I am using I will do 4 long runs of 20 or more, (20,23,25,28) with two weeks between each of them. Then a 3 week taper after the 28. I run at about a 10:30 pace right now and my race is the 28th of April.

I am running between 35 and 50 miles per week so about 60-90km per week. I am training for a full marathon on April 28

I have been eating between 1200-1500 per day since January 2011 and have lost 100 lbs. I only eat back my exercise calories if I am really hungry

Dear MFP Friends, Thank you for all the kind words, I hope my story has in some way helped you to realize that you too can do it if you just work at it every day. I plan to continue to work at losing this year, I would like to lose about 30 more lbs and continue running. But my big goal for the year is to learn to speak…

Thank you to all of you. I am glad the Lord may have used my story to motivate you or encourage you. Just know you can do "it" if you will work a little each day at what ever your "it" is. I listed 5 goals last Jan1 that I wanted to accomplish this year. Grow closer to the Lord Lose 100 lbs Save $4000 Buy my wife a new car…
