Total miles this week: 11.25 Miles left: 38.75

Sign me up for this month too! I enjoyed having something to keep me accountable last month.....even though I was a couple miles shy of my goal. My goal again will be 50 miles. It seems so small compared to everyone else's but I hope to be able to run 100+ miles someday!

Congratulations!!!! I have heard that it is a lot easier to lose baby weight when you don't gain too much and eat healthy throughout the pregnancy......I wouldn't know. I didn't do either of those things during my pregnancies lol. You should check with your doctor at your next appointment to see how much more you actually…

Ok, this week I ran 10 miles. I am 3 miles short of my goal. Hopefully next month I can make it all the way to 50! I am pretty happy with my progress though because just a few months ago I could barely run.

There is nothing wrong with taking those 3 days off from exercise. I bet you on your feet quit a bit those days. When I worked three 12 hour shifts I usually wouldn't work out those days. I worked overnight and I liked to just rest. Work real hard the other days! I now work 5 days but two of those days are only 6 hour…

lol, I know. I was just sharing something interesting I read, sorry. The whole brownie thing was just a joke. I'm not an idiot......usually lol. Sorry I came across as one.

Yeah it is. I think I read it in women's health or something. Your cravings are because of all the extra calories burned. That's why I don't deny myself what I crave lol. My body must know what it's doing "Alright, if you really think I NEED that brownie to survive I guess I'll HAVE to eat it"

I guess I haven't really heard that excuse all that much. I guess I don't usually ask people to explain to me why they aren't working out lol. I do know that there are many women that have HORRIBLE cramping from different conditions like endometriosis and such. ALso, some women bleed like crazy.....I imagine it is pretty…

Week 4 only 8 miles. I think that brings me to 38 miles with 12 to go!

This week: 13.5 Total for the month: 29.5 Left to go: 20.5!

Late posting my week totals! Total this week: 12 miles Total so far this month: 16 Miles left: 34

3.7 miles today. goal for the month 50.

Hi there! New to the thread here. I am still new to running and loving in. My goal is 50 for the month!

I don't know anything about compression socks for running, but am thinking this might be a good idea for me. I have some blood clotting conditions and have had a severe blood clot in my leg that caused permanent damage in those vessels. One of the reasons I am trying to be healthy is to make sure I never get a clot again.…

I know exactly what you mean! Mr arms and legs and face are smaller but I feel like my belly is the same. It almost seems as though it sticks out further because everything else is smaller. I hear that it will eventually get better. I hope it's true.....

Wow, you look great! Totally the inspiration I needed today. You are at my goal weight right now and we are about the same height. I can't wait to reach my goal!

Thanks for this! I have been running on my treadmill for a few months now and did a hilly run outside yesterday. It really depressed me how horrible I did. I hope in time I will experience the same thing he did.

I am going to have to agree with everyone else that it may be too early. I know how you feel. You can't wait to feel normal again and get rid of the evidence on your body that you had a baby lol. After my first C-section I started with just walking then after 8 weeks or so I did 30DS. If you feel any pain in your belly…

You look amazing! Exactly the motivation I needed for today. Thanks for posting!

Gerber snacks are really good. I love the sweet potato ones. I also love the little cookies too. I have 14 month old twins and I always end up eating more of there snacks than they do lol.

Hi there! I grew up in RI but now live in Northeastern CT. I grew up in East Providence. Where do live. I love it here on MFP! Both being from RI we probably know each other lol.

I have the same problem when I run outside. I have been doing so well on the treadmill and then suck when I am outside. It has scared me away from signing up for a 5k. I'd love to hear what people have to say about this.

My 3 year old loves doing DVDs with me. It's really cute to see her try to copy the moves. I've taken all three kids to a local track (3 year old, 14 month old twins) and walk/jog on the track with the twins in the stroller and have the 3 year old play in the field in the middle of the track. It kind of works......The…

I did night shift for years and at first I gained weight. I would stay awake for 30 hours 2 days a week. The extra awake time gave me extra eating time which wasn't good. I was going to school full time during the day and thats why I skipped sleep on the first overnight of the week and the last overnight of the week. Once…

This sounds like a great diet!

I am totally trying this tonight!

Well tonight I made a really healthy dinner. Baked cod with spinach and tomatoes....Then my daughter wanted to make a snack of her own. She spread tons of peanut butter on a flour tortilla and sprinkled it with Lucky Charms. Sounds weird but it was AWESOME. So much for my healthy dinner. Feeling guilty about it now

I'm in! I had a goal to be 155 by April 15th (My birthday), so this works out great! CW: 165lb GW (4/1): 157lb

Great job!!! The first thing I noticed was how awesome your legs are. Your hair is also beautiful. You did awesome!

Wow! Awesome! I am so happy I saw this post today. I am feeling a bit discouraged today after getting on the scale. Your stomach looks amazing. This really gives me hope for my belly. I wasn't going to take before pics but I am thinking I probably should. I got a new Jillian Michaels DVD and I can't wait to start it today!
