Ran a 5k this weekend! I did the same event last year and had to stop to walk more times than Id like to admit! This year, i ran the whole time! finished in 30 min,20 seconds! I couldnt have done that a year ago!!

I just bought some today to use in a recipe. You spread it on chicken, then wrap in turkey bacon and bake. I got the recipe from SparkPeople! Its very good!!!!

My six year old son wanted to work out with me when I was doing a kickboxing dvd at home. He quickly grew bored and started to leave the lving room. I wasnt paying attention to where he was, changed directions with my kicks and nailed him square in the forehead! He was fine! Needless to say, I no longer have to worry about…

I started the B210K today!!! anyone else doing it?

Im a social worker on a NICU and what you experienced is very common!! You have to let go of the anger and the blame. You could not have prevented Robert being born early. When the mother's blood pressure is too high, they have to deliver the baby, to save mother and baby! You got him to 29 weeks which is very good! I know…

Yes still plan to log my food and exercise!!!

Hey guys!! Im new to the group! Was in another group but I was the only one posting and Laura was nice enough to invite me to join you guys! Thanks Laura!!! I did w7d1 yesterday! I cant believe it but i am acutally looking forward to running everyday! I just got a Garmin Forerunner HRM and i cant wait to use it outside. I…

Looks like im the only one here!! Geez! good thing i didnt need this group for motivation!!! finished W7D1!

I had the round ligament pains with my baby girl, it was hell! could barely walk some days! Hope you are able to keep active!! Where is everyone at?? I finished week 6!! Did an extra run today, ran 3 miles in 32 minutes on the treadmill at 5.6!!! I didnt think id be able to run for 30 min straight but i did!!! I feel…

C25k is the couch to 5k program!! its awesome!! Did W6D1 yesterday!! Still amazed that i was able to do W5D3- the 20 min on jogging-without stopping!!! im looking forward to the 5k in September! How is everyone else doing with the program??

i was trying to find the link but i couldnt. This morning there was the cutest video of a baby going to sleep and laughing. Its was on AOL's homepage. It is guaranteed to make you smile! Look for it!

I dont have knee issues but Im worried about 20 min of jogging too!! Im just gonna take it slow and try my best!!! welcome to the group!

Glad to see you back, Supermom! I did W4D3 today! Not looking forward to week 5, bc its 20 minutes of straight jogging by the end of the week!!!

Keep at it!!! You can do it!

I was one of the people who didnt lose much weight while breastfeeding. I did in the beginning but then nothing. Anytime i started to work out or restrict calories, my supply dropped. So I was chunky for the first first 12 months of my baby's life. Since I stopped, I have lost over 20 lbs, as i have been able to exercise…

I agree, it is addicting! I find myself wanting to run, which is totally a new thing for me. Did W3D3 and W4D1 this weekend. Ran outside for the first time. Geez, its alot harder than running on the treadmill in the gym. But i was able to finish both days! Woo hoo! Looking forward to running inside for the rest of the week!

My son takes Vyvanse and its a struggle to get him to eat during the day. I make he has a big breakfast before taking the meds. He usually wont eat lunch and eats everything that isnt nailed down from the time he gets home from school till bedtime. I take Adderal and I have to make myself eat, but there are days when i…

Hey everyone! I did W3D1 yesterday! Not too bad! I always push myself and add an extra jog during the cool down. Im going to try running outside this weekend, since i normally use the treadmill. Worried i wont be able to push myself to keep going!

i did W2D2 today as well! Pushed the incline to 2 on the treadmill and i didnt notice any difference from 1!

Finished W2D1!!! It was pretty easy! How is everyone else doing as we enter week 2?

I had a weekend full of drinking and eating way too much! But I was back on track on Sunday! Going to do W2D1 today at the gym! Bought new running shoes last nite bc my feet were killing me after i ran last week! Looking forward to breaking them in!

Id be interested in learning some new recipes, bc Im in the same boat. I have two children (ages 1 and 6) who need extra calories. I have to add butter and cheese to everything I make for them (after i take out my portion). Gets to be hectic, when Im trying to eat well!

I just started C25K and this post makes me excited to think that I will lose inches off my thighs!!!!!

Did W1D3 yesterday. A friend suggested that I add incline to the treadmill, bc when i run the 5k ill be outside. Wow, could i feel the difference. My butt muscles are killing me! But i was able to do it and Im sure next week will be better!

I just started the couch to 5K program! So far i really like it! Ive been wanting to run, which never happens! I have the app for my phone and I love it! I highly recommend it!

Hey! is it too late to join? Just started yesterday, did W1D2 today! Downloaded the app for my phone and love it so far! Im signed up to run a 5k in September and I really want to finish without walking!

Im new too and could use some friends! Want to find some friends who are active on MFP and will be encouraging and keep my accountable, and of course the same in return! Some times i need a kick in the pants!:smile:

I love Mexican food and Im meeting my soroity sisters at a resturant tonite. To resist the food there, i plan to stop at Taco Bell on the way and get a fresco chicken taco. wont be as good as the restautant food, but oh well! Then I will have enough calories left to have 2 light beers with my friends and then head home!

Love this forum! Hoping I dont drink to much tonite! Cinco De Mayo is one of my fav holidays! IDK why, Im not even sure i understand the meaning behind it, i just like to drink. Going out with my sorority sisters to a Mexican restaurant. Im saving all my calories today for a margarita (or 2 or 3). Enjoy the day!

You can not medicate ODD! It requires a behavorial intervention. My son, who is 6 now, has ADHD. His doctor tried to tack on the ODD diagnosis but i objected and she dropped it. Im a therapist and I know ODD and i know my little guy does not meet the criteria for ODD. The dr did not like when i whipped out my DSM-IV in the…
