Question - I typically leave at 6 a.m. and get home around 5:30 p.m. - anyone aware of recipes that can cook that long on low (other than pot roast which turns out terrific)?

Couldn't agree more - turn it all off. You only hear part of any story that is "chosen" for you to hear. Very hard to tell what is real and what is hype.

I'm in....

2.5 and not happy about it - that with some light exercise. grrrrrrr

done! thanks for the motivation

definitely in!

This is one of the best training programs out there for getting you ready to run a maraton. Some of the local running clubs in Orlando follow this and I followed it when I ran my first marathon over 15 years ago (I've only done two). It's a good program - good luck! http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/marathon.html

Additional 5 miles - total now 8. Only 42 to go. I better get on the stick!!

I'm late replying but count me in - Monday's run/walk was 3 miles......47 to go! Thanks for starting this and keeping me motivated.

I'm the opposite - I can't eat before I run cause I feel like crap and get side stiches and I don't get hungry until about 2 hours afterwards.

I used to run all the time - but that was years ago. I am now getting back into it because I've realized just how much I love it and miss it. I know someone else prompted this chain of comments but just wanted everyone who has responded to know you are helping me as well. I'm struggling to "feel good" for the entire 3…

Agree with the never comment - that is a very long time. (unless you're talking Okra - then never for me :-) )

I'm in - can never have too much motivation. 5'7" - 53 yrs old SW: 169 CW: 162 GW: 145

So chiming in - I started MFP with certain goals and it assigned me 1200 calories a day. Most days I met that but I thought it was good to be under when I exercised so I left myself under goal. After reading posts over the last few weeks I know that is not the answer. I actually recalculated my calorie intake goal using…

Yep, same as others - usually gain 4-5 pounds of "bloat." Have had cramps my entire life unless I really exercise a lot - then they aren't so bad - but no kids so likely different experiences.

1200 is where I am as well - I agree, tuna with just relish for me every day at lunch. Lots of fruit, celery, grilled veggies (squash, zucchini, carrots, brussel sprouts and asparagus) every week prove to be filling. I eat PureProtein bars every once in a while - a few calories to them but low sugar, lots of protein and if…

Wow - mfp put me at 1200 calories and most days I'm right there or way under when I exercise. Wondering now why I'm so low - seeing everyone's goals. I'm tracking to lose 20-ish pounds.

Count me in too - may as well throw in hats / visors -

Right before dinner during the week, mid-morning on the weekends - I can't run for at least a couple of hours after eating!
