I'm 5'3" and my goal is 125 lbs currently I am at 140 lb after losing 20 :)

Feel free to add :)

Hi all, I took the month of may off but now I am back and ready to work as hard as ever :) I am starting training for my marathon in December and looking forward to meeting goals again!

Hi I am new and not entirely sure how this works yet, but I would like to do 75 miles for the month of June, as of June 3rd I have done 5 miles.

Congratulations! I too am getting married on Sept. 7th! I am wishing you the best of luck!

Hi there! Don't feel so discouraged! We all slip up from time to time. I have been on this site for almost a year and in the first 5 months I had lost 22 lbs (most of which was in the first 3 months) after 3 months it got much harder to continue to lose weight which is always discouraging. I ended up joining a 12 wk…

July- after dark dash (5k) October - Urban cow (half marathon) December - California international marathon (CIM) and I am sure I will throw some more in between now and the end of the year

Today I ran in the womens fitness festival 5K and then walked around to see the vendors afterwards, upon coming home I picked up dog poo (which I did before seeing this post lol) and watered the garden.

Hi all, I'm Destanie and I am getting married September 7th of this year. I currently weigh 142 after already losing 18 Lbs and I would like to be down to 125-130 by Sept. My plans to achieve this goal involves a lot of running :) which brings about my second goal which is to run and finish a marathon (scheduled for…

feel free to add :)

I'm In

Don't wear new clothing! I once wore a new pair of running short on my first 10 K and found out that they would ride up, halfway through I already started to get blisters :( had I been at home or a regular training run I would have just stopped and changed but obviously didnt want to do that during the race! now I only…

well I think Easter through me off and set in motion some bad habits... followed by a windy week that induce some allergies which for me meant I was tired, stuffed up and just wanted to eat everything in sight. I am trying to reset and start again... I think a week or two break between the 12 wk challenge and the 4-6 wk…

Hi all .. not doing too well - up 3 lbs now and not too sure why, I have been eating a little bit more ... but not enough to be gaining - I should have been at maintenance or less still I'm just tired of trying to stay @ 1200-1300 cals a day but when I try to up that... I gain weight

Last day of finals for me! I will be much more present to finish out this challenge now!

You might want to consider adding more rest days to see if that works for you, if you would still like to do cardio everyday you could always switch it up to biking, rowing, and using the elliptical, but honestly many people run everyday and elite athletes usually run up to twice a day. you might want to try the opposite…

Hey Ladies! sorry I have been MIA I am in the mist of finals and wrapping up the quarter! and I cannot wait for it to be over!!!

I always thought I would have no problem dropping my last name - but now that the time has come and I am 28 I feel like I have already made a lot of connections - professionally and personally with my last name and I am starting to publish this year ... I thought about doing the hyphen .. but in the end I decided just to…

I'm so excited! We are going to Atlantis in The Bahamas! I can't wait

Thanks Elizabeth for wading through my post! I thought about postponing the wedding to next year to give more time - but honestly I really just want to get on with my life. We were originally waiting for the groom to finish school and find a job... which happened almost two years ago and we talked about moving the wedding…

Can I just say I hate, hate hate how irritable I become pre-TOM. I hate it so much because I am not that kind of person. I am usually pretty care free and easy going and try to find laughter in everything- I am the one constantly reminding my Fiance to relax and ease up and enjoy life! But with preTOM I hate the way it…

Hi Ladies! Hope all is well. I was just wondering how you all are doing on your goals?? I went back and checked my goal weight for this challenge and I am still about 7-8 lbs away from that. Not sure if I can make it in the next 4 weeks .. but I sure will try. :)

I have to say - growing up we never had dessert unless it was a special occasion, but as an adult especially over the last few years I pretty much crave something sweet after dinner ... its probably a habit I started and now is hard to break ... but for the most part I think its pretty easy to accommodate modestly - what I…

Our budget is $5000 for 130-140 ppl. I am saving huge by having the wedding at my Grandma's house in her backyard, she is also an event planner and has some connections to get things for cheap.. and people who owe her a favor or two :) My Mom's cousin will cater for us (she owns a catering business) and will get us…

I agree with a lot of the posts here - Don't rush into any new relationship, but if P is just a friend then I'd say go have a drink! Its your birthday and it sounds like he can relay some of his own advice through his past experiences. I would defiantly be wary and take it slow with C - men .. and most people for that…

Nope! I will flat out admit it and not pretend to be in denial! I am a social person and would probably go crazy without human relationships and my bestest bud Buster ( my pup )

Great job guys! I was able to loss some more weight in February too I also posted a story about some clothes I had bought over a year ago that didn't because they were too small. I kept them.. half forgot about them ... then tried them on this last month and they fit!!! Happy story!

I agree with the previous posts! and I recommend hill workouts and sprint intervals. On your week of runs - do a long run on the weekend and during the week do intervals like - 10 min warm up (run at easy pace) then 1 min tempo (race pace) 1 min slow, 2 min tempo, 2 min slow, 3 tempo, 3 slow, 5 tempo, 3 slow, 3 tempo, 2…

Hi Barb, I would have to say that I am in a similar funk. Mine is due to stress and a heavy work burden right now. I have absolutely no time and am having trouble with exercise - just finding the time. For me personally I am just hoping my work burden will lighten soon!

Wow Barb! I am so sorry to hear all the pain you have gone through. I am glad though that in context of this posted topic that you deem this and us a safe place to share! I think it defiantly takes a lot of strength to share what you did and exemplifies that you also have make it to the acceptance phase and are ready to…
