Look at you! Congratulations on losing 33 pounds. You're doing great and looking great.:flowerforyou: When asked, I do share how much I've lost. Like someone else said though I don't share too many details b/c it seems to bore those looking for a quick & painless solution.:laugh:

I like this idea. I do something similar. It has worked great for me. I eat what I want when I want - never stuffing myself of course. In chatting with friends, I have heard that this strategy is tough for some of them b/c they have trouble ending that one day. Let us know what you decide and how it works for…

I love you, Shannon! Talk radio too. Something else we have in common.:drinker:

For free booze, I'd sit on the person's lap. If they got fresh I'd let them get to first base.:embarassed: Seriously, I don't think there is any special compensation the airlines could offer to make me want to be encroached upon in my already tiny seat.:smile: Coach is too uncomfortable for me already. I am 5'10".

I was not suggesting that the airlines "have to accomodate". I just wondered if they had considered providing a more comfortable seating option for those forced to purchase 2 seats. As I stated earlier, I agree that it is not fair for someone who pays for an entire seat to have to share their seat with someone who cannot…

I think it is fair but I am concerned that it may add to an already uncomfortable situation for the person requiring more than one seat. I've never needed more than one seat but I imagine it would make me uncomfortable flying if I did need more than one seat. I wonder if the airline has considered adding a special seat or…

It is awesome to see everyone checking in today!:drinker: Christina, I am feeling better.:flowerforyou: I ran for 20 minutes with the 8-10 yo girls that I coach tonight. Of course, I ran too hard for someone recovering from upper respiratory issues. I couldn't let 8-10 yolds outrun me.:laugh: I coughed a little on the…

[/quote] I believe that! I've watched parts of the cardio workout on the UFC Reality Show. Those guys are working HARD. Btw, Big John is my favorite UFC Ref. Taking Big John McCarthy out to lunch is on my bucket list!

Thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou: I LOVED this documentary. It can be rented on Netflix as well. I have no interest in running a marathon and still found it very interesting and inspirational.

I'm a HUGE MMA Fan!:heart:

Way to go Andora and welcome to MFP!:flowerforyou:

Good morning Runners! I'll check in again later. I haven't gone for my run yet. I am off to prune some shrubs.:grumble:

Congratulations and welcome to running!:flowerforyou: I LOVE couch to 5K. I used it to get started running too. I am concerned that pushing yourself may lead to injury. Then, injury will lead to no running. As you have already discovered, running is fun. Ease into it so you can continue to enjoy yourself injury free. My…

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story.:flowerforyou:

Hysterical! Thanks for sharing! Everyone who has worked in the service industry has a story. I heard a funny saying about rude and nasty people. 'There's only 9 or 10 of them in the whole world. Sure. They move around a lot but there are only 9 or 10 of them out there.'

Way to go Katie!:drinker: Today was another rest day for me. See you tomorrow :smile:

Great job Runners! This is a judgement free zone. Walking, running, skipping... If you're moving you're improving! I'll be resting for a few days. I am sick. Normally, I'll run anyway if I am sick from the neck up. This one's a little lower so I am going to rest for a few days. Keep on moving everybody. Fast or slow -…

Have fun at the race! I can't wait to hear all about it! :heart: -Kechie.

Join us on our new post dated 4/10.:smile:

Happy Friday Runners! I ran 3 miles at an easy pace this morning. Enjoy the day:flowerforyou: -Kechie.

Hi Everyone! I haven't run yet. It is spring break and my daughter is home from school. We've been out shopping all morning. The way I've been eating today - I'll be sure to run for 20 minutes with the girls I coach tonight. Otherwise, I'll be eating a 300 calorie dinner.:laugh: -Kechie. :heart:

No run for me today...

Way to to JD! Hope you had a great workout at the gym!

Good for you! GO KATIE GO

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Get better soon Sherry & Star! It is comforting to know that I am not the only runner who has fallen down. I thought taking a tumble was normal for runners until I took a survey among my in real life running buddies. Only one other person has fallen down as an adult and to make matters worse the others gave me a very…

Glad to see you!:flowerforyou: I ran 4 miles this morning too. Yesterday it was 69 degrees. Today it is 44 degrees! I have been meaning to get some pepper spray or something b/c I have been chased by unfriendly dogs occasionally. I tried to carrying a whistle. That had mixed results with the bad doggies so I stopped…

Good Monday morning Runners! I ran 5K this morning. Enjoy the day:flowerforyou: -Kechie.

Give me a little more information about what was confusing and I'll see if I can help. The speed and tempo runs should be run at a "comfortably hard pace". That means you'll be able to get about 3 words out while you're running. I check myself by saying "pace is good". If you can talk more than that, you're not running…

Hi Shadow Paws! Welcome to running. I have been exactly where you are. You can do it! First I would recommend googling the couch to 5K program. I used it to get me started. It is a walk-run program that helps you get running for 20 minutes non-stop in 10 weeks. For me, it took longer than 10 weeks. The program recommends…
