[/quote] Yeah, and no one is healthier at 40% body fat than 25% body fat. Don't delude yourself. [/quote] JT, you're the only one on this thread making any sense.

Amazing...heading off to read your blog now! Thanks so much for sharing!

I use (and love) runkeeper too!

Forget it! Found it...jeez, I'm beyond SLOW today.....

oops...anyone want to tell me how to 'quote'??

I'd like to suggest an alternative. Stronglifts 5x5....there's at least one group on here doing it and if you google it there's lots of info on it. Less exercises than NROLW. Good luck! Thanks I tried SL5x5 and found i got bored with it, had some workouts logged in the app and everything.... I'm wondering if NROLW would be…

I started stronglifts 5X5 not too long ago and noticed the exact same thing with my running. I'm faster and it feels easier. Isn't it great?

Don't let being short hold you back! Personality is so much more important to women. I suggest you practice, practice, practice putting yourself out there. Chat up some of the ladies at your upcoming race...be honest, sincere and confident when you do and I know that you'll start to feel better about your dating…

Shelby, you look FANTASTIC...thanks for sharing. And I wasn't even looking for encouragement!

I picked up some think thin bars at the grocery store yesterday for when I'm in a time crunch 240 cal/9g fat/20g protein. The one I've tried so far (peanut butter) tasted pretty good. They do have sugar alcohols tho, so if you're sensitive to that they may not work for you.

I think maybe you need to realize that even non overweight people have days where they feel 'fat'. Don't be to hard on yourself, you're doing great. Keep it up.

Mustard...not the yellow kind, either honey mustard or grey pupon.

No worries, you'll get used to it. After a while you won't be able to stand the regular stuff anymore. Trust me. :)

I clicked on this post just as I walked to the heater in my office and cranked it up....LOL!! So, yeah...between drinking cold water all day and not having tons of fat...I'm cold too!

I'm staying out of the break room!

Smart. You know the COMPUSLION to over eat/drink is INEVITABLE but that not actually doing these things is INEVITABLE. I say, remember why you want to lose weight...don't be too hard on yourself...have fun.....get back on the wagon on monday. ENJOY! :)

I have suffered from shin splints that prevented me from running. I discovered (for me) that the issue was my sneakers. Since I switched to running flats I never get shin splints anymore. The bonus is that they're insxpensive and when they get stinky you can throw them in the washing machine.

Either none or the same ones I wear every day, Victoria's Secret thongs.

I would like to second this!! You look so much like Stacie Clinton!! It's the first thing I thought of when i saw your pic!

In the book The Orgasmic Diet, Marrena Lindberg recommends the gyneflex to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. It offers some resistance. It works. I've only had 2 pregnancies but also have had issues with urinary incontinence during jumping exercises. Hope this helps! http://gyneflex.com/

I ruined a phone with sweat by carrying it in my sports bra (try explaining THAT to the guy at the phone store). Now I use an armband or hold it in my hand.

I'm just starting a weight program myself and found lots of great information here: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/

Minimum of 4 16.9 oz bottles.

Yes. I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only one feeling this way today. Splurged a bit yesterday....apple pie, candy corn M&Ms. Today I just want to eat! I'm not actually hungry, more like mentally feel like eating. It's a bit disappointing after feeling like my appetite was under control.
