I'm a little heavier than you and just finished week 5 day 3 today. I did it a few years ago too (actually I do c210k, but the beginning is the same as c25k). I'm also a really slow runner. Most people walk as fast as I run, but I just ignore that and worry about actually running correctly. I'll probably work on speed…

Oh man! I'm a vegetarian and would be happier with a bunch of raw veggies and dip than Dunkin' Donuts. :ohwell: I'm Crista, and I'm an *kitten*. :tongue:

I agree. I eat the Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (or "Greek" yogurt since I guess it's not "real") for the protein benefits (vegetarian - I pay a lot of attention to protein). I also like that I can get a bit of sweetness in at the same time. Usually I have it as a dessert instead of cookies/ice cream/cake/etc. I figure if I…

I want to know which ones everyone did and how they turned out! :laugh:

I love this idea: http://imgur.com/gallery/69qLm

I agree with this completely. I don't like most any other yogurt, but I love the Light & Fit Greek. I actually just had a strawberry one this afternoon for a snack. It's sweeter than what I've had in other Greek yogurts. It doesn't have the sour, Greek flavor. My lunch today was a small salad that was less than 100…

I think most girls are trying to go for the cute kissy face, but they just go over the top and fail. It's also been shown that pics with duck face get more instagram likes (which it seems many duck facers care about) It's also what others have mentioned: big, pouty lips are generally attractive to others, pulls the cheeks…

My thoughts too. AdBlock FTW

As someone who lives in the "New York Jr. area," this map is entirely accurate... at least for the state of Chicago.

Can we not be friends anymore, Travis?!! :cry: Being vegetarian, obviously I don't like bacon. But for real with this thread... I'm picky with whose FRs I accept because I like to actually support and encourage my friends (and hope they feel the same). As someone else said, I'm not here to collect a number. I couldn't care…

I'm vegetarian. I'd like to eventually go vegan, but I don't have the willpower yet to give up cheese. =/ Check out the Happy Herbivores group. There's tons of vegans/vegetarians and recipes there: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/45-happy-herbivores

Replying to look back through these when I'm not at work. :blushing:

Exactly what I was going to say. With the relatively small amount you have to lose, trying to get there in a few months is way too fast and unhealthy. As someone else mentioned, it leads to extreme dieting which doesn't work in the long run and just harms your body. I'd suggest figuring out your TDEE & BMR and going with…

No need to be rude and accuse someone you don't know of lying with absolutely no evidence to back it up. I've had friends that have bled for months on end and didn't bleed to death. And how do you know how heavy she was bleeding anyway. Based on the calculations someone did for how many pads she said she went through in 5…

I'm glad you got some good shoes. Not only does it help your body out and keep injuries more at bay, it also makes you more motivated to run (at least that's what I've gleaned from experience). And I agree with the bold above. You're a runner if you run. :smile: Here's some more inspiration for you. :flowerforyou:…

Both of you have adorable dogs!

My fur babies are my babies and always will be. For me it's no question, and I'll spend anything I have to for them. At the same time though, this is why I only have a cat right now. My boyfriend and I plan to get a doxie (rescue, not a breeder) when we can afford to have a savings account for him to pay for the vet bills.…

Honey, do NOT apologize to anyone here. That's not necessary at all. I'm really glad you finally got a doctor who would listen to you (and when you're feeling a little better, definitely call the hospital and file a complaint against the first doctor). I hope you start to feel a little better soon and can get yourself back…

They've clearly been eating too many sandwiches. It's destroyed their ability to decipher satire from realistic commentary.

Time out.... people give these sandwiches of death to children?!! That should be considered child endangerment. What is wrong with people?!! :noway:

I've heard that.... Actually, I was watching a show on the Food Network about food trucks and they were discussing the best burgers from food trucks. The best (or second, I don't remember) had peanut butter and sriracha on it. You should try it sometime.

I usually use it with soy sauce in my stir-fry. It makes a delicious stir-fry with a little kick. *drool*

Congratulations! I did my first 5k on Sept 29, but I don't really count it as a real 5k (didn't track time) because it was the color run, and I had my running app going which measured it as only 2.66 miles, not a 5k. It was also the day after moving to a new apartment on the top floor of my building so my legs were too…

Since you said you're doing c25k, check out the MFP group. You can get lots of support and advice there. The daily check-in threads are great and helped me motivate myself through it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/30-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k Remember not to worry if you have to repeat a day or week. I…

Check the Happy Herbivores group on here. You'll find tons of other vegetarians/vegans. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/45-happy-herbivores

"Panties" - I've always despised that word. It's just underwear. "Italian" (pronounced eye-talian) - No. It's not from Eye-taly, so it's not Eye-talian. "Melk" or "Pellow" - Though that's more of just a regional accent thing and doesn't bother me that much. Inserting Rs into words where they don't belong, e.g., "waRsh" One…

What about combining those 2 charts that were posted? The one in the link I posted says how long and what temp to cook in a dutch oven based on the slow cooker recipe's "__ hours on low (or high)", then the chart that mudbug posted shows how to use briquettes to achieve the right slow cooker temps. Example: You have a 10"…
