i dont think you would have to do a recover plan if you dont plan on running for a while. Thanks for all the help everyone! I think my recovery plan was a little too intense. It has me running 4 days a week (only 3-5 miles) then cross training and one long run (9-20 miles). Last week I did 12.5 miles and the week before I…

Mine is around 210grams (65 percent of my diet), but I am training, so I guess it depends on your physical activity level?

Well, im only 21. I didnt run in high school and I have been an off and on runner in college. The longest I would go would be maybe 5 miles. This is my first marathon and I started training 5 months ago (so, maybe my info is not all THAT encouraging since it has taking me that much training to finally get results but…

This is so true! I am training for my first marathon right now and had that mind set when I first started. I run 45 to 50 miles a week and really still need to watch the cals or I gain weight. Also, I have def lost inches but the weight, not so much. Running really has helped my body become more muscular and to shed off…

UGH! way to ruin it for me!! From last weeks show Hellen didnt look too skinny. Although, I dont remember what she has gotten her weight down to.

I know...I dont actually watch tv but I started watching the Biggest Loser on the NBC site and just fell in LOVE with it!

So I missed the Biggest Loser last night. Is there anywhere I can watch it online? Or do I have to wait a week for NBC to post it on their page?

It is finals week for me too so I TOTALLY know how you are feeling! 1. keep exercising...makes you less hungry. So, if you feel like eating crap, work out for like 15-30 minutes and you wont feel hungry anymore. 2. snack on veggies or something. Those wont kill you. 3. study in a place where you arent surrounded by others…

Yeah it def gets easier with time. I actually think running outside is a lot harder than on the tredmill.

Good luck!

Goal weight loss in lbs - 5 pounds # of Kids (or do you want kids)- none...but 2 cats :-) How long have you been a vegetarian or vegan? - 3.5 years-kind of a psychological thing for me. I think animals are a little too human for me to eat them. I just cant imagine eating anything that was once living anymore. Age- 21…

I agree with what the other two ladies have said. None of us are experts. I would like to say though that I just finished taking a counseling psychology course and learned that counselers really can be a wonderful aid in gaining more insight into struggles. I would recommend seeing one because they really can help you…

Havent gotten my run in yet today but today will be a nice four miles before my long run tomorrow...oh man

Cold and rainy in minnesota :-( So sad that we only get like 3 months of nice weather here ha.

I am running a marathon in Oct. When I go on my "long runs", which are around 15-20 miles, I concentrate on speed. I set a pace that I want to run and then watch my clock on my ipod to make sure I am hitting it. The "shorter" runs, range from 5-8 miles and those I dont focus on speed so much but I will do hill sprints and…

Yeah this conversion works for me too, so I think it is right :smile:

Oh gosh, I totally have the same problem. I get so frustrated too because I work so hard all week and then ruin everything on the weekends! so not cool

Oh gosh I totally hear you on this! I started training for a marathon 7 weeks ago and now I am hooked! My muscles are getting sooo toned and I love it!!

Yay for 10 miles! Are you training for a race?? I am running my first marathon in oct!

This is great info! Thank you so much for posting this!

I did 6 miles and sprinted a 1/8 mile hill three times in the six miles :smile: yay for running!

Yeah try to eat something healthy...if you are under 1200 your body with go on starvation mode and slow down your matabolism.

I usually only eat 2 servings of fruit a day...but I agree! It is crazy how little sugar we really need!

Thanks all...yeah I guess I never really thought about getting too much sugar from fruit (silly as that may be). Is it just that I will gain weigt if I eat too much sugar or are there other healthy issues that go along with that (sorry little naive on this subject).

Does anyone keep track of how many grams of sugar they eat? I just added that today and after eating a banana, over half of my sugar intake is taken up...how am I supposed to eat less sugar? And what happens when I eat too much? Im not eating candy or sweets or anything. It is all coming from foods that are usually thought…

That is a great idea to have family dinners at your house. I never get to pick out what we eat for family dinners, although we usually only have those during the holidays. I am moving out in the fall, and I think that will help a lot so I wont have to be around bad food. I would think that my parents would want to get in…

Thank you, this is very true. I feel like if my parents make some sort of meal (or dessert) they get offended that I wont eat it because I dont find it healthy. I wish I had healthy parents!!

I feel like my parents are all for me eating really crappy because that makes them think that it is alright for them to eat crappy too. I am a small person but it is because I work out a TON. They dont work out at all and their jobs are very sedetary. Their lifestyle is much different than mine but I still think they use…

I know! I moved home just for the year and am surprised I have not gained 20 pounds! Both of my parents are very overweight and my sister and I are healthy individuals. But being healthy doesnt mean that it is easy for me to resist temptations!

So, my parents have been on this dessert kick lately...why? I dont know but it is KILLING me! I have been pretty good about not eating the stuff they make. Tonight, once again they just got done making a dessert. I only have 3 weeks of class left until finals, and I had a SUPER stressful day at work today, so sometimes it…
