For shoes I have my brooks, my sauconey's, my nike's X 4 (don't judge) More lined shorts than I can count 4 pair running capri's too many tanks and sports bra's to count..most Nike, I love their clothes. 4 headbands 2 ear warmers 2 pair tights too many socks to count 2 Nathan running belts 3 arm…

Edited for redundancy. Best of luck!

Sad! Don't live to eat, but eat to LIVE and that includes indulging once in a while! I'm sorry but sounds like your mom might have an eating disorder! Balance and moderation in everything. Best of luck!

I know, I know, anyone who has every lost weight thinks they're suddenly an expert on the topic, and while we may mean well, and we're so very excited that it worked for us, that why wouldn't we want to share our new found expertise with the world, but well, coming off as a know it all doesn't really sit well with most…

I use avocado's in place of bananas, they are a lot lower in carbs, and higher in fiber. My smoothie's generally consist of the following: 1/2 avocado 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk a large handful of spinach 1/2 cup strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (whatever berries you want) water as needed ground flax seed 1 scoop…

WOW, congrats first off! When I hit 50 lbs I bought myself the cutest pair of jeans that I had wanted for a long time!! My next goal will be my rib tattoo! Do something that will make you feel like the amazing person you are :)
-
Awesome! Congrats. You've got this!

It is definitely an acquired taste, I drink it in my own little "mocktail" of Ice water, homemade ginger water (just ginger root boiled out) and fresh lemons. I have one every day and actually really enjoy it now! :)

Well I took a look at your diary...keep in mind, I'm no expert...three things screamed at me as I looked through your last week. You are definitely NOT eating enough! You are eating a LOT of "bad carbs" ie: chips, sugar cereals, etc., and there are no vegetables whatsoever! You may be over estimating your exercise calories…

My 12 year old is a member of my gym and my 8 year old is training for a 5k. There is nothing wrong with teaching your children healthy habits! The only thing I would stress is make sure to educate your daughter about proper nutrition, and to love herself. The fact that she called herself a chubber at such a young age,…

I would suggest to you to do it in a manner that you CAN and WILL do for life! Carbs are not bad, There are carbs in everything, however it's all about quality over quantity! Try to make vegetables and low GI fruits your carbs. Make sure you are gettiing enough healthy fats (Avocado, nuts). If you think about it, eating a…

While it is her choice, it's an absolutely heartbreaking story! Staying overweight is her defense mechanism for now, but she's so angry at the world/parents/childhood/society that she has more problems than just the weight! Hopefully, she can find some sort of therapy other than eating for her issues, so that 10 years from…

I agree with you that we should all have respect on the boards, HOWEVER, creating a post slapping everyone on the hand for not getting along is not going to make people play nicely! Fortunately for us this is a free site and you can get as little or as much out of it as you choose...The negative people on here are probably…

Fun thread! I was very fit and active until after I had my first child, I lost all of the weight from being pregnant, but then stayed home all day with baby and started eating, eating, and eating...got pregnant again, lost it, ate even more, got pregnant again, gained even more weight, broke bones, had surgeries and just…

Love this! I am a recovering scale addict ;) and even though I still weigh myself daily I also use the tape measure as I am lifting a lot of weight in the home stretch. If I don't hit my magic number I'll be ok, if I hit my magic waist size :)

In my experience it's HUGE!! I only had 10 to go to goal and I broke my leg and gained 6, those 6 were the difference between wearing a pair of jeans or not! I've almost got those 6 off now and sure enough, the jeans fit, the stomach is flatter, the muscle deinition is showing better! Can't wait to see what the last 10 do…

Because I'm not a line cook, chef, or anyone who really even enjoys being in the kitchen, my kids eat what I eat! I do see this all of the time where parents are willing to cook 2 meals to appease picky children. I think it starts very young, my kids eat what is put in front of them, or they go hungry...I think my youngest…

YAY, welcome to the dark side!! Congrats! Enjoy it, before you know it you'll be running just to run :)

hahahahaha!!!

I agree with this! There are many others out there that offer the same amount of protein/cals with a lot less sugar and chemicals!
-
Just this morning I pulled out my goal jeans! put them on...they're sooo close, but still muffin toppy, took a picture, and put them away! I will do it again next month until I'm happy with how they look! The day they look great EVERYONE will know :) For $5 heck, why not! You'll get there :)

Nah, I'll leave the Vegetarianism up to my food! I love meat! but to each his/her own! Best of luck on a healthy lifestyle :)

Obviously the HRM is going to be the most accurate for you! I actually got mine off of Amazon for $25, and it's worked great for 2 years now! I also use the map my run app on my phone to log my runs, it does show you calories burned based on your run..I've noticed that it's usually about 80-100 calories higher than what my…

There is a reason whatever it be that there is an EX in his title! Ignore him. you don't need that in your life! You do what you need to do and be proud of who you are and tell him to #$%^ OFF! :)

Nope...If I'm hungry (actually hungry) I eat! If I'm not, I don't! I brush my teeth when I'm going to bed at night, well, because I'm done with my day! If you are actually hungry (like feeling hunger pains) or are under your macros for the day, you should eat! If you're just trying to not snack...I say do whatever works…
-
couldn't agree more! I eat what I feel is right for my body, and that might be completely different than everyone else on here! Here's an idea...how about we do what we are all here for...SUPPORT EACHOTHER! I wish you all the best with whatever you choose to eat!
-
you look AMAZING! Congrats on your new body and health!
-
Is it going to make me bulky?? Can't have that!
-
This!!! I am a runner and actually got a stress fracture mainly due to training in the wrong type of shoes for my gait! Most running stores will take time with you...actually let you run in different shoes and watch how you run do make sure you are getting a shoe that is right for you! Good luck and welcome to the dark…
-
I actually do agree with you on the eyes on our own plate! However, when you have to hear people complain about their health/wanting to be healthy and then you see them eating in mass qty's for the sole purpose of it being free, it does bring concern to mind! If you could see my journal you would see I do not eat perfect…
