I want to join! I've actually had the TurboFire DVD's for a while and recently started doind a workout here and there, but need the accountability!!! County me in!

I started running a year ago with this program. I timed it to finish with my first 5k last December and have been hooked on running ever since. I have ran numerous 5k's and 10k's, 2 half marathons and 1 relay team on a full marathon. I am now training for my 3rd half marathon and planning on completing my first full…

Thanks everyone, I'm pretty much like the majority - don't really 'diet' anymore. Been logging my foods here on MFP. Earlier this year we took on a 'clean eating' plan, where we ate more whole foods, some organic, but mostly doing away w/ processed foods. Felt great when doing that, not so much weight loss, but felt…

I use the same running shoes year round. I don't run on ice though, I will only run on clear streets or sidewalks. If it's that bad out that I cannot find clear path, then I run inside (which I absolutely hate)!!

No need to carb load for a 5k, though Great Job for making it there!!! The 'benefit' of carb loading really only comes in to play for races of longer distance, such as half marathon or greater.

How cool!! I just looked this up earlier today and starting it today when I get off work. I'm excited to start it, and really hoping I can stick with it. I'll be a couple days behind you but maybe we can compare notes!!!!

hmm, now that sounds good! Going to have to try that! I love cucumbers anyway, but tired of eating them plain or with ranch dressing!

I never used to eat breakfast, I'm a coffee junkie. So, now that I am trying to get back on track, I've been having an atkins or slimfast shake for breakfast. They're quick and easy so it works for me (though a good smoothie is probably better for ya). It's usually around 9:00 or 10:00, so still probably later than most…

I sent you a friend request. can't answer your question as i just upgraded to an actual Ipod and trying to figure it out myself, maybe we can do that together!!! Rhonda

I'll be your friend, I need the support too! And, Heather, I sent you a friend request as well - I need all the help I can get ! Rhonda

Don't have any ideas, but love my wii, so would love to hear of some suggestions as well! Rhonda

This weekend we went out of town and I splurged on a couple meals, so I didn't even bother trying to track my foods on those days. I just jumped back on board on Monday and have been fine since. I think it's important to have a 'cheat' or 'splurge' day every once in awhile, especially if it's for a special occasion. I say…

Welcome to MFP, I'm sure you will find lots of good support here! I love the idea of the dinner cards and think I will try that myself. I have the same problem w/ shopping and menu planning, it's the biggest reason we eat out (and therefore I fall completely off the weight loss wagon) so much. I have gotten better lately…

Welcome Christina! I've only been on the site a couple of weeks, but have found it to be a great motivator to stay on target, I'm sure you will too! Good Luck! Rhonda

I agree w/ Mamapants! I am in the same boat as you. Not necessarily surrounded by people that are obese, but eveyrone tells me I don't need to lose weight. So, I just don't tell them that I am trying to anymore. My family tells me the same thing and I tell them Mom's not on a diet, she is just learning to eat healthier and…

Daughter has soccer game in the morning, then off to try snow skiing for the first time ever - can't wait!

I am a coffee junkie! I drink way too much, but do think it helps me weight loss. I notice my energy level is much higher on days I drink coffee compared to when I don't have as much. Calorie wise - it has some , but the way I drink it my cals are limited. I drink brewed coffee from home, half caffeine and half decaf, and…

I am not much of a runner, more of a walker with a bit of jogging built in, but I much prefer outside! I get so bored w/ cardio anyway, so being outsite, the time seems to by so much quicker and I find myself willing to push myself further!

This sounds so good! I will have to remember it, maybe tomorrow night!

Looks like you guys started the other day, but I've heard a lot about this video and think I will go pick it up today after work - maybe I can jump in tomorrow? Rhonda

Welcome! I too just started yesterday, well, started yesterday for the 20th time!! But, had a great day yesterday and looking for a great day today! My plan is to take it one day at a time, if I fall off the wagon, I just get back on the next day! Rhonda

Hi Paula! I too just found and joined this site, tongiht! I love what I have seen so far, much easier than many other sites I had signed up for (and quit using, hehehe)! I'm getting my motivation going to stick with it this time! Good Luck and hope to see you around. God Bless Rhonda

Geat Job! This is my first day on this site, so hopefully in one week, I will be able to say the same thing!!! Congrats! Rhonda
