Thank you both, I get this question a lot, I am a runner, that is my main form of cardio. I do a lot of strength training, including teaching a sculpting/ toning class. I try to add core work to everything I do, for example I do lunges with the weights over my head so I am working my stomach area constantly without laying…

Starting 225, After 165

<---- Eats a banana every day. 65lbs lost, just saying :)

Apparently I'm in the minority, but I'm going to say throw it out. I was raised in house where we cleaned our plates or else, and left overs were good for days on end. Those are bad habits I had to unlearn and now I am a fan of throwing things out IF they are trigger foods, or something that you will eat even if you're not…

I agree with other posters, it is a great tool but sometimes not very accurate. I have an Ironman GPS running watch that I love and is much more accurate.

I love mine, I have been using it for about 2 years, have fun, its a great way to track your progress.

I am getting ready to make my daughters cake for her birthday and I have already started eating frosting.

Is this your first time successfully losing? There might be a small part of you that wants to hold onto the clothes "just in case" This past spring I forced myself to give away all of my pants larger than a size 10 so that I would be forced to buckle down and get those last few pounds gone before I needed new pants. For…

The last few years I have made this potato dish that is basically cheese, cheese, more cheese and a few potatoes thrown in to keep all the cheese together. I know everyone is expecting it again and it always goes over really well but this year I am bringing simple garlic mashed potatoes. When I started my journey I started…

Can I buy you a drink :drinker:

To compete in a full Ironman. Its what I fantasize about when I am pushing myself through a tough run.

Thank you all, it has been a long road, we need these reminders along the way to prove our hard wok is paying off!

These are all great suggestions so I'm not going to repeat it all :) But I will add that you might want to check out the Bodyrock.tv Her workouts are pretty tough and she doesn't use very much equipment, using mostly her own body weight.

This is all just my opinion based on my personal experiance.... I have been running for 2 years and lifting weights and strength training for the last year and a half. I have noticed nothing but improvement from the strength training. It has made me faster and stronger. I can feel the difference going up hills having a…

[/quote] I don't have an issue with people backing into a space. I take issue with the jerks that take up two spaces on purpose. It makes me wanna key their car. [/quote] This! If you park your car diagonally across 2 spaces so that no one will park next to you don't be surprised to find a shopping cart made its way to…

I did WW online and lost about 60 lbs, I reached the point when i wasn't losing and I wasn't gaining, and I realized that WW is a great tool but it has taken me as far as it could. If you have the basics from WW you can transfer that knowledge to MFP very easily. Set a WI day, tell your friends so they expect it on said…

Happy Sunday! Sunday is my long running day, I am still rebuilding from a foot injury during my half-mary in October. Im hoping to get about 6 miles in today. Have a beautiful day everyone! Great job on the races, setting a PR is a great feeling!

My husband has been amazing though the whole the process. Loving me when two kids in two years pushed me over 225 lbs. Saying yes when I decided a $90 Beachboby product was the answer, Saying yes when I decided to join WW (and agreeing to eat whatever I made for us as long as there was no tofu). Being the only one who is…

I guess I am very luck, I work at a Y teaching exercise classes and they have on sight day care so my kids can come with me. On my running days I will do whatever I can to get my run in, its better for everyone that way as I am often miserable when I can't run. :)

Hi All, I am actually a runner, but I would love to do a tri. I teach group ex classes in strength training and trixter cycling, so I don't think it would be a big transition to start training, my biggest weakness is swimming.

Hi Im Heather. I started running to lose weight a few years ago and signed up to run a 5k as a way to keep myself motivated. I got hooked! I love the race experiance, the butterflies, the people, the beer. This past summer was my first time running longer distances ending with a 2:07 half mary this past October. I…

This is such an amazing story!

This is the best thread ever! My husband is pretty awesome and Im pretty sure that an objective outsider would say I am the weird one, however... my husband can not remember crap. The weird part is we both know he can't remember, but he will argue with me about past events. Also the eye thing is going to give me…

HAHAHA that's what I thought for the longest time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Funny my girlfriend just told me she thought the LMFAO song "said I've got an erection in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it."

Im with you!

I attended 7 different schools growing up and have live in 3 states and 2 countries. I have visited more countries than states. I have been with my husband longer than I have ever even lived in one house (8 years) If you can't tell from this I am an army brat so we moved every 2 -4 years growing up. I don't think I have…

Trying to go too fast or pushing yourself into long distances too quickly can cause repetitive stress injury. Its very important to build speed and distance gradually. And not at the same time, Ie one day do speed work, and another do your long runs at a slow pace.

I love my IUD, I have had it for 3 years, never gotten prego and never heard of a friend getting prego, good for you for doing your own research...

Thanks :) I think its funny because I used to pick on my brother when he would walk around the house shirtless and flexing, now I totally get it.
