Pretty girl! Even when you were heavier, your smile was adorable! Now you're healthy and beautiful! Congratulations!

Amazing! You should be so proud of yourself! A tremendous effort and wonderful accomplishment!

I would love a twin! Age: 34 years SW: 185 lbs. CW: 159.8 lbs. GW: 145lbs. I have 4 kids and I'm a runner!

I used to be just like this. I would be really good during the week and just go right back to my evil ways on the weekend and it became clear that this was going to hinder my goals so this is what I did. One week, I thought about how I was going to eat on the weekend. I planned for it and psyched myself up for it. Then I…

34-year old mom to four mostly-great kids. Three of them are preschool/toddler age and the fourth is a teenager so none of them are really that awesome right now. :) I've lost 22 pounds, hope to lose about 8 more. My Food Diary is open to all and I'm a burgeoning runner and I post regularly about my runs at…

I've had both and I would pick Mirena over Paragard any day. I had Paragard for 7 years and my periods were miserable. After having three kids, my doctor recommended the Mirena, I've had it for two years and it's so awesome (as you know). I did gain a little weight after I got the Mirena but if I'm honest with myself (not…

I keep it to 1,200 cals/day. Friend me!

My official weigh-in is first thing in the morning every Wednesday. And I'm usually on calorie lock-down the day before (Tuesday) because there are many things that can screw up a weigh-in for me. If I drink too much diet soda, eat too much salt, go over my calories even a little bit, eat fast food, etc. All the things you…

Seriously awesome!

I spaced out yesterday and forgot to weigh-in!

I started the C25K in January 2011, ran my first 5K in July (did OK, approximately 12 min./mile) and kept running regularly. Ran my second 5K in November. I ran the whole thing and improved my pace but only slightly better than 12 minutes/mile. Then I ran a 4-mile race in February and a 7K in March both around 11…

If you go 5x a week, you'll definitely see results faster but you want to be careful not to get burned out and, if you're working hard while you're there, you shouldn't need to go 5 times a week. I work out four days a week for an hour each day and I try to make that hour count. Sometimes it's difficult not to work out on…

I agree that strength training is important but I also love cardio because it burns so many more calories. What I do is I workout in four one-hour increments per week. I run on a treadmill for 30 minutes and then I hop off and do strength moves. In between strength moves, I sprint on the treadmill. It's a way to keep your…

Count me in too! Where do we go to check in?

I'm one of those people too and it is really frustrating. I've come to realize that I have horrible metabolism! After literally years of trying to "watch what I eat" and being very active (I have four kids and I'm a runner), I've learned that I need to stick to around 1200 calories per day regardless of whether I exercise…
