I downloaded this podcast - it's a "homemade" one. The music is awesome and she chimes in to tell you when to walk and when to run so you don't have to time yourself. She also has a bridge to 8k you can download after you complete the first one. http://www.kissmyblackass.org/podcasts/

I know! I decided to up my activity level setting and therefore my calorie intake a little bit. See how it goes anyways.

Well I thought it was the other way around and I would lose calories.....which now that I pay attention does sound backwards. My only "scheduled" workout is 3 runs a week. And yes I do have kids......3 of them ages 11, 8, and 2 1/2. Definitely affects how much time I can devote to working out. My oldest has recently…

Thank you. I sometimes catch my 11yo daughter making comments about her body type in self consiousness. She is a very muscular and athletic girl. Most adult women would kill for tone like hers. But she sees it as "big"......."I hate my legs - they are so big". Little comments here and there. She is absolutely a…

No problem - I forgot I saved another thread with lots of recipes that are good. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/226908-the-best-low-cal-recipes

Check out these sites. I have only browsed and tried a couple but so far I like what I have found. http://400caloriesorless.com/ http://www.skinnytaste.com/

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not at all interested in forcing her as the last thing I want to do is make her feel pressured. I'm just excited that she is showing some interest in something physical.......even if the real reason is mommy time. I think I will start with her on her bike and let her come along that way…

Thanks! I had no idea you could do that. My hubby is the "gamer" in our house. I've never used it much, other than to watch netflix. I decided to buy a kinect yesterday........so excited :)

So good to look at and see the hard work everyone has accomplished.

bump.......I wanna know too. I love laughing cow.

Yep - here is a calculator that I used http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm At the bottom under the "results" there is a little arrow that says "zig zag 7 day calorie cycle" click and you got it!

I allow "cheats" too but I really do find I don't want them nearly as much anymore. And then I'm the same way - I don't feel good after. I had a chocolate bar a while ago after monthes without - got sick to my stomach. Fast food - instant cramps. Still love love love cheesecake - belly ache after - but that one is worth…

Got my favorite from another poster on here: 1 cup Orange juice 1 scoop Vanilla Whey 1/2 cup froz raspberries (think strawberries would be good too) and 1/2 to a full banana Sooooo yummy - tastes like an orange julius. But I save it for days that I know I will be more active just because of the few extra calories form the…

I asked the same question not that long ago. Had a lot of good replies, I think if I paste the link you should be able to read it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/226647-too-much-protein

I did too........arrrgggg.......strawberry cheesecake. I knew supper was going to be something superquick and easy as I knew I was goingt to be late getting home from work and still have to run it out to my hubby who is in the field. OK for me and hubby.....3 young kids not so ok. Sooooo I planned for the pizza for supper,…

Thanks gals :) I have been getting a little frustrated with sitting at this weight for a couple monthes but I know that I have to be persistant. I kinda feel like i need all the support I can get - which is why I absolutely love this site! I have a long family history of Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high…

I went to tinypic.com because you don't need to sign up for an acct. Click Browse and find your pic. Click the resize dropdown and select message board. When the links show up after it is done uploading copy the "image" link, paste to your post. Make sure you resize the letters in brackets from IMG to img - don't know why…

This is unreal!!! Thank you so much :happy:

I flattened some chicken breasts and mixed up some laughing cow light cream cheese wedges with some finely chopped imitation crab meat, folded them over and pinned them with a skewer and baked it in the oven........mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!! So good and pretty low in fat and calories. Could probably use fat free cream cheese and…

I love the brand "whey gourmet". The strawberry banana is my favorite and vanilla is so good with some fruit mixed in too. And it doesn't feel gritty or leave a gross aftertaste in my mouth. I have had it almost everyday for a year now and still not sick of it!!

I like steel cut oats with fresh raspberries added after its warm. I cook the oats up ahead of time and then reheat them each morning. I also used half almond milk and half water last time and it was yummy. Next time I will try all almond milk I think. Not sure if you can use almond milk or not but maybe a vanilla soy…

5'3 and 162 lbs. Started on my own about 35lbs ago and stalled out. Joined MFP hoping to lose about another 25-30 lbs and re-evaluate from there. Add me :)

I am 5'3" and currently weigh 163lbs. I'm a medium in tops and a 12 in pants. I have always been bigger in the butt/thighs - even back in the day that I could wear a size 6 lol. My measurements right now are 35" bust, 31.5' waist, and 43.5" hips - ya that's right - 43.5 - told ya that's where it all goes!! When I was at my…

I'm curious as well. We were talking about this at work on Friday - a coworker had seen a clip about it on the Dr. Oz show.

Thanks so much everyone!!

So I have been running off and on for a while and I found this link to some C25K podcasts and they rock!!! Love them! So hope you enjoy - of course everyone has different taste in music but I really love this! You should check it out. http://www.kissmyblackass.org/podcasts/
