OMG! I did the tour at the New Belgium Brewery this summer and fell in love with Fat Tire! Amazing tasting brew!

I am forty something as well...and proud of it :) My story is similar to yours in the sense I was a skinny girl up until about 12 years ago...then the metabolism slowed. Horrrible. I ramped up the exercise over the past few years, but still was not losing weight. I started keeping track of what I ate in Februay then in…

TGIF!! It’s been such a busy week at work...so happy it’s now the weekend! Here’s the breakdown of my day: Water = check Calories = OVER - Went off the rails a bit at lunch; ate Mexican food :( Will rein it back in for the weekend. Daily Challenge = check Hope you have a great weekend!

Heya Tasha- Welcome to MFP! You will really like being here. Besides the tools on the site to track calories and exercise, the people in the online community here are fabulous. :) Good luck on your fitness journey! Happy Friday! PS: Please feel free to friend me :smile:

That's me in a nutshell. I joined a fitness challenge for August and have met some awesome people! Before that, I was just using the calorie tracker and was not involved with the online community at all. Feel free to add me as a friend! The more support the better :)

Eve’ning all- What did you think of those wood chops? I still kinda of like them... Here’s the breakdown of my day: Water = check Calories = under Daily Challenge = check and 200 more crunches towards our goal of 4000. Peace out. :)

Yes you are...I am glad to have you as one of mine :happy:

Happy Hump Day all! Here’s what I did today: Water = check Daily challenge = check Calories = under and 200 crunches towards the team goal of 4000. Hope your day was great!

How I did today: Water = check Daily challenge = check Calories = under & 100 more crunches toward the 4000 crunch challenge. Night all!

I did Warrior Dash this January in Lake Wales, Florida! My friends and I had so much fun we are probably all going to do it again. BTW: We were all in COSTUME for the dash. The crazier you look, the more fun you will have :) Trust me, if you do decide to wear a costume, there will be someone at the race who looks 10 times…

Someone already mentioned Runner's World. Runner's World had a GREAT training plan for a 1/2 marathon for beginner's in the August 2011 issue. (In fact it's the one I am following.) They might have that info on their site. Definitely worth checking out.

It's funny you mention "clean eating"...that's exactly what I have been trying to do for the past few weeks. I picked up a magazine called "Clean Eating" this weekend and a lot of the recipes look delicious! Here's the link to magazine's site, in case you are interested. http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/ BTW: Great job with…

LOove it...especially the part in the cheerleaders voice LOL!

Mondays - usually blech! Today, I got do something super cool. I got to ride out to Kennedy Space Center and see the Vehicle Assembly Building (Where the shuttle used to get worked on) up close and personal. Awesome. Daily Report: 8 glasses of water = drank Calories = under Fitness challenge = done (kinda liked those wood…

I would love to be on a team in Sept, but I will not have 5 lbs to lose. After I have kicked the crap out of August, I will be within a couple of lbs of my goal weight. However, I am tough competitor. So if there is room for someone on team who will do all the challenges and earn a team points thru effort rather than…

Hi there- Hope you all had a great weekend! My daily report: 8 glasses of water: DRANK Calories: UNDER Weigh in: Lost weight this week! I am now 128.8.

Whew! I am exhausted. Here is the breakdown of my day’s activities: 8 glasses of water: DRANK 50 sit-ups: DONE 40 shoulder presses: DONE 1 mile for daily challenge: DONE Calories: UNDER Oh, almost forgot: 4 miles on stationary bike towards the 100 mile challenge.

TGIF!!! I am sooo ready for the weekend.

Was on it for…

I'd never heard of the song Danza Kudoro until I saw it posted twice on this thread. I kinda of like it. My current playlist is a mix of old and new. Here's a partial list: Alejandro - Lady Gaga Ball and Chain - Social Distortion Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly Hello Fascination - Breathe Carolina The Passenger - Iggy…

I have the very same question. Will a stair climber at the gym work for this?

Today was good day. 100 Jumping Jacks = DONE 3 sets of 21 = DONE (I did not cry like a little girl) 8 glasses of water = DRANK Calories = UNDER (waaay under today. Was not very hungry today) Don’t know if this will count, but in addition to the 4 miles I was supposed to run today, I also did 10 extra miles on my stationary…

Have you committed to signing up for a race yet? Having goal will make all the hard work worthwhile and make the training/effort go a little easier.

I love it....as long as there's not lightening and thunder to go along with the rain. :) I say go for it....you'll stay cool and probably get a great run in.

Evening all- Hope your day was smashing! My day started with a smashing headache which thankfully went away by the end of the day. Love those liqua-gel ibuprofen tabs! My daily report: 50 mountain climbers = DONE 50 crunches = DONE 8 glasses of water = DRANK Calories = UNDER (just barely to be fair) And... 1 mile towards…

I'm beat. Here's a breakdown of what happened in my world today: Water = 8 glasses Calories = UNDER 50 swimmer's presses = Done 1 extra mile for today's challenge = Done and 2 extra miles towards the 100 mile challenge. Night all!

Hope today is better for you. :smile:

Water = check 50 squat kicks = check Calories = under 2.5 miles towards our team goal of 100 miles As for miles, I said I would do 5 miles towards the team goal of 100, let's make that 7. I can pick up an extra 2 for Gary. Why? Because we are a team dammit :happy:

I still weigh 131.4 - dammit! As for the 100 mile challenge, I can definitely crank out an additional 5 miles for the team, possibly more. I am following a very regimented training plan for a 1/2 marathon, so I will have to review it when I get home to see where I stick in some extra miles...but 5 miles extra for sure.…

Thanks for the info and link to the site :)
