I currently just finished my 10 mile week (so I ran 10 on saturday) and felt so slow and bogged down - partially PMS, partially tiredness. I took two days off and feel like I'll be better today. Just take your time. I know how frustrating it can be to have your pace get slower, but you are, at the very least, getting it…

YES. Major stress relief for me. It's my alone time and I thoroughly enjoy it.

You look FANTASTIC. Fit and healthy - there is nothing wrong with that! That being said, I have been told by family members that I shouldn't lose more weight. I don't get why that's their concern - yet when I was overweight and unhealthy, nobody said anything. How is that acceptable? You do you. It is hard not to care what…

Melatonin always works for me. I am not big on the Tylenol PM etc. stuff because it makes me feel groggy and kinda like my body is addicted to it to be able to sleep. hope that helps!

Mine says 145 but I weigh 140 :) It's a relatively new license. My old one said 190 when I weighed 230 :x

Good ol' cowboys... mmhmmmm. :love:

Umm... what she said!

I was a 38D at my biggest and I miss my big boobs! On the other hand I think I would look ridiculous with bigger ones. Anyway, yeah, they changed a lot. I have also had two children. But, all things considered, two children, breastfeeding, losing a lot of weight - they are still pretty perky :). I'm a 34B now :o

I use runkeeper. Love it :)

I was at work today and we were talking about how great Beyonce looked yesterday (during halftime, Super Bowl). I remarked, "She looks so great, didn't she have a baby about a year ago?" My boss said, "Oh please, you look great for having two kids!" and another coworker who just started today said, "Oh my gosh, you have…

"You're too skinny! You're going to waste away!"

Overall it took me from April of 2011 until December of 2012. I lost very little in the beginning because I wasn't really paying that much attention to it. I lost about 30 pounds between April of 2011 and January of 2012 - which is still a lot! - but the majority of it was during 2012. :)

thank you!! I think he is pretty cute too ;) lol

Thanks everyone. And if you are just starting out, I was there too, I was at a "just starting out" point. Just keep at it and take it one step at a time.

Hehe I do all the time, but he doesn't believe me! He is lots of fun!

He is! It's hilarious (to me), he will tell anyone who will listen how much weight I've lost. :D

Wow, I honestly didn't expect so many replies! lol! I am 5'6" :) For those who asked what I did - first I stuck to cardio and probably didn't eat enough calories - I never ate back my exercise calories. However, that's recommended against for the most part but it is what worked for *me*. Your experience may differ. I have…

About 2 weeks :P

Usually stay home and I don't even usually stay up until midnight, but I decided at the ripe old age of 28 I want to go out on New Year's Eve :P. However I'll be the DD and am going to need a cup of coffee around dinnertime if I'm to stay awake with the drunk crazies tonight ;).

For this reason I am very thankful for my apartment community's gym, and the fact that not many of the residents use it - despite the complex I live in being pretty large. :P

Considering childbirth will happen only a limited number of times and getting kicked in the balls is likely to happen more often than childbirth, I will go with getting kicked in the balls. That being said childbirth is no walk in the park, but still... I went through it twice and I'm done. My husband on the other hand…

You can do it! I gained 40 with my first, then lost it all, then gained all of it plus MORE back in between pregnancies (my girls are 3 years and 8 months apart). I gained nothing with my second pregnancy, lost a bunch after I had her... and then gained all of it back, plus more again, within 2 years. I was up to 230…

I don't blame food necessarily but I know the culprits in me eating too much used to be chocolate, ice cream, cookies (specifically lofthouse ....mmm. now I have one and I'm DONE! haha), fast food, and the high-sugar drinks at Starbucks.

28. And I look and feel a HELL of a lot better than I did in my early 20s. :)

Ummm... An apron (not even kidding!) because I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen... and I'm sort of clumsy. haha. a Dodge Ram 1500... please? more muscle... but I'm working on that ;)

What she said! I was very very resistant to the idea of weight training but oh my goodness, it tightened things up QUICK. Not perfect by any means, but a massive difference within a couple of weeks. And make sure you are eating enough :).

Christmas dinner will be small... my husband requested not to have a whole chicken (I was going to make one), lol, so just some chicken breasts in the crock pot, fresh green beans, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and that's it. We're doing a "big" family Christmas dinner on Saturday when my husband's parents come…
