  • I’m new to running but seem to be liking it so far! My goal is 60 km so ~38 miles for this month :)
  • I ate jell-o and Gatorade for a week because I was so nauseous and slept the whole time. Turns out I was super allergic to the pain meds I was on :/ lost about 12 pounds in a week but quickly gained them back once I was off those meds and could eat properly again!
  • Beautiful before and looking amazing now! Way to go!!

  • I was on accutane in my early teens and I always just took it with eggs during breakfast with no side effects. However, accutance made me severely depressed and as an emotional eater this made me over eat. Make sure to monitor your moods while on it. That being said the medicine was a life changer to get rid of my acne!

  • 1/2 long-grain brown rice, peas, and spicy peanut tuna satay mixed together. With an apple for a snack to quench my sugar cravings!
  • I threw out my scale and started tracking activity mins/cals burned/steps, while counting calories and staying in my goals. I was so focused on getting the number down that the tiniest fluctuation would throw me off the wagon. I'm focusing more on fitness, rather than weight since I am a fairly tall and muscular female…
  • You look bad *kitten*! Thanks for the inspiration :)

  • I decided I'm going to weigh myself in August, 3 months after beginning getting healthy. I get too obsessive with the numbers when really what I'm looking for is to get more active. Only 30 days in and see a BIG difference in energy levels and how my clothes fit which I personally find more valuable :)
  • Can you drive to a more secluded area and then go for a run? I'm in the same boat as you with the uncomfortableness but since I live on the outskirts of town I only have to deal with 1 or 2 people seeing me run :tongue:
