Feel free to add me. I'm 40 with 40 to 50 to lose. Mom of 3, wife, dog lover and we have 40 plus chickens! Lol

Im in. I am 40, live in Indiana. Just cleaned out my friends list. I lot of inactive ppl and i need new friends!!!

Dumb question... do you have the oatmeal uncooked?

Yippie! Today was a bad water day for me. I was super busy at work and no time to drink. But I'll rock the water tomorrow! I did my squats though. Easy as pie!

me too! and they make my colon run like hell! lol I only eat them when I can be close to a bathroom for a few hours. lol

Hey Ashley! I would love to help you. I am stalled out right now as well. Been stalled for months at maintaining. Feel free to friend me. We can keep each other motivated. I feel you at over eating. I was taught as a kid never to waste food. so I have taken that into adulthood. Always eating what the kids leave on their…

Hi! My name is Jenn and I work at IU Health Starke. I work in Surgery as a Surg Tech. Been there 12 years. I feel like you do, Heather. Lets get this group rolling!

Well, All I can suggest is this... Why do you want to lose weight? Why do you want to get healthy? I don't know you yet, so I can't help with your attitude. Do you have a hubby/wife or kids? Want to play with them? Got a dog you want to have fun with? Want to show old high school friends how cute you are at your reunion?…

First, this is a big deal to many people! I ran my first a few months ago and I am so hooked. I just did my 5th a few ago. I don't bring my family. They really don't care. What has made a huge impact is my friends. I started running with 3 friends from work and we do the races together. We help each other finish. My girls…

Well, I got those basketball shorts. At Nike, they are like the ones the boys wear. They are mesh ish and are longer. Love them.

Total: 107:1440

Ok, I'm in! April 1: 30 min gardening, like digging up plants and splitting them and replanting the smaller ones. April 2: Running 30 minutes

O.K. I did some math. 1st I use a Polar FT4. My resting is around 85-95. Walking I am in the 145 range, then running I jog and go till my HR is 177 MAX, and I want to die! I can't breathe. According to this calculation you all say, my MAX should be 168.3. I blow right by that real fast. I can only jog for 3 minutes max…

my health food store grinds them weekly and sells them that way. I notice I um... go to the bathroom more when I use it in my breakfast. like I can clock it a hour or so after I eat on the days I use it. I am out now, and can tell. That's all I know about them. lol

Exactly! Today instead of walking for a few minutes, I walked for 2 houses and then went back to running. I felt awesome! I am glad to see your HR is like mine... high when we run. I don't know how people can run with a 150 HR. maybe they are fitter than me. my resting HR is 85-95ish, and when I am just hanging out it is…

Well, I just jumped onto the running bandwagon. I always use my HRM. Walking my HR is 135ish running it goes up fast. to the 177 range and I have to stop and walk. When it gets that high my chest feels like it could explode. So now I walk for "2 houses" on my block, get my HR back to the 150's or lower then run again. My…

See if I ran till I was tired, I wouldn't get half as far as I would if I was pushing till the lady said walk now. lol I NEED someone to tell me what to do. No matter if it is a friend or the C25K APP. I was just like you. Hated running with a passion. My good friend at work and I decided just to do it. We were so pitiful.…

I get them as well. If I slow down my jog anymore, I will be at a fast walk. I can walk at 4.0. I am checking out the stretches, and I have found if I lip sing to music I can last longer before they start. Maybe I am breathing too fast. I have tried breathing in for 4 steps and out for 4 steps, but that makes me dizzy. I…

I work in a hospital surgery department where these are done. We have had plenty of diagnosis of "rectal bleeding" You can try that to see if insurance will fly with it. Most of the time rectal bleeding is from hemorrhoids, but sometimes they can be from a tumor. Worth a try atleast.

As in how to do them or how to log them. They are under strength training but anything in that area doesnt give you calories burned. So under cardio look up calisthenics. That is where you can log push ups, sit ups, crunches... stuff like that

Well, when I started, I walked for 15 minutes very slow. Now I can do 30-45 minutes. Even if you get up and do jumping jacks for the commercial break. it is better than nothing. We have stairs in our house. It's a split level. I started going up and down them over and over for just 5 minutes. I was dying. Or when I would…

or make a mini one! We used to do this as kids, well, mom made it for us. A english muffin with all the pizza toppings on it. or a pita bread. I also make a killer home made garlic bread pizza. I buy the frozen garlic bread, cook it in the oven 1/2 way, then take it out. My sauce is 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 can of…

Well maybe you are.holding water from the working out if I remember your body works out then it holds s ome water to help repairthe muscles that were worked. I hope I am explaining this right.

How about this... Almonds are huge in calories, and so is peanut butter. The kind I get is 190 calories for 2 Tablespoons. You really should get to the 1200 mark. If you have to just eat the PB right off of a spoon. I love PB so much!

HELP!!!!! If I didn't log that candy, or those chips, I would be right back to a 3000 calorie day! For real. I believe that if I never found MFP, I would have not lost the 31 pounds I have lost so far. Besides the logging, I have made some of the best friends I have ever had. Seriously. My MFP friends are so wonderful.…

I am having such a hard time with breathing and running at the same time. I get the side stitch. I try to breathe in for 2 steps and out for 2 steps. I have tried to let my body do it, and still side pain. I do find if I lip sink to the music I am listening to it stays away for a bit longer. I am training for a 5K race and…

Well, I did get the standing crunch idea from you! We will do this!!!

Great info!

The only thing I do not like about it is that it is so tight. It is supposed to be that way. I just am a freak and hate tight clothes.

I do know that I get them if I am not drinking enough. You know what I drink, a lot. So, on our busy days at work I get them because of not enough water. I drink a ton then it goes away. Not sure why.
