Congratulations on your new time, and I think, even if you don't wish to join the team, your instinct is right - There's a run that needs to be shown who's boss! Have fun storming the castle!!!

Eunoia: Beautiful Thinking. Well done. Most original tat I've seen in ages.

You OWN that treadmill! You SHOULD feel proud! I think of all the emotions this journey has taken me on, proud is my favourite (I'm Canadian, and I spell things the Canadian way). Here's to 42 minutes... ;)

Oh man, I WISH I was in the Houston Area now. What a great idea! Have a great time!
-
Holy cow! That's a 6 minute difference. That's HUGE! Way to go, Speedy Gonzales...
-
Nice Work! Poor little spin bike didn't see you coming...
-
ROCK. STAR!!!
-
Nice! I think that's been one of the more interesting side effects of a lifestyle change that involves food choices - things I used to really enjoy eating taste like crap! My husband and I received a box of chocolates the other day from a friend. After the initial "UGH - What do we do with THESE?", we decided to put them…

Everything the other posters said about getting well, first. Chicken soup! As for your diary, I'd throw a tbsp of peanut butter on that plain bread you're having for lunch. Or almond butter, if you're allergic to peanuts. Or a piece of cheese. Consistently running 400 calories under your goal is not helping you. A piece of…

MFP has "Cleaning - Light" and "Cleaning - Vigorous" in their exercise database... Just sayin'. You could add lunges to picking stuff up off the floor, or clean the bath tub in a "touch your toes" manner... Sweep the floor by swiveling the hips and not moving your feet (until you have to, obviously...) Or, you could just…

Congratulations on conquering your own worst enemy! You've lost ANOTHER PERSON! That's incredible, honestly. The other day at the gym, while I was listening to the nasty voice in my head tell me I was disgusting, another voice (also in my head) yelled "Stop doing that! Look what you've accomplished!". I felt like I was…

THANK YOU!!!
-
Absolutely. Not only do I feel like I can do this, I feel like I can do ANYTHING. And this... I feel like I look at some things I used to eat and think to myself "What IS that? That's not even FOOD." Less interested in sugar, too. Very exciting.
-
Wow, that sounds great! Right out of the blue. A little motivation from the universe. Congratulations.
-
The rumour about this song was that it was supposed to be "In the garden of Eden", but they were so high, it came out In a Godda Da Vida...
-
My favourite part of your "after" picture is the huge, well-earned, "I'm so proud of myself" smile! Congratulations!
-
Congratulations! I've seen your pictures posted in the past, and I think the commitment you've made to yourself is incredible. You should be so proud of yourself. And with only 5 pounds to go to your goal, you must just be bursting with excitement!

Hear Hear.

You could do this at home, too, with a step stool, if you don't have anything else. 30 minutes. One sit-com (with commercials), if you watch sit-coms. Walk home from work. Bike home from work. There's always a way.

Yesterday I put my hands on the heart rate monitor on the elliptical machine at the gym, and apparently my heart was beating 197 bpm... I didn't even feel my heart exploding... I certainly don't trust the machines. In terms of MFP, I generally tend to log whichever number is lower.
-
Me too! There were only 3 comments on this post when I started typing my response. I love how many different ways the information was worded...
-
MFP determines your caloric intake based on the information you provided regarding what your goals are. For example, if you told MFP that you want to lose 2 lbs/week, it will calculate the number of calories you should be consuming, at whatever your current weight is, to lose the 2lbs, strictly with diet alone. That number…
-
You're logging your weight loss using the "Weigh In" on your home page, right?
-
That's brilliant! Seriously!
-
I remember that feeling. It gets easier. I get so excited when I'm on my way to the gym now. Who knew?
-
Personally, I use an organic whey protein powder. The package says that it is "lactose reduced" (unfortunately the package does not say how much lactose the product contains), but since I am not lactose intolerant, I never thought about it before seeing your post. If lactose intolerance is an issue, I suggest you do a…

One of my favourite things about the 10 pounds I've lost so far is that I did it the healthy way. No gimmicks, no pills, just hard work and smart choices. And I'm so proud of myself, and that's something you don't get out of a bottle.
