Nice! Trying that TONIGHT!

Did it last year. Doing my second one at the end of June.

Nope. I would not count that.

I blend a banana into my protein shakes.

Bicycling and swimming are some good ones.

Can you have some of the more expensive pieces altered/taken in by a seamstress?

I delete people... just because I can.... :laugh:

The gang that ran it this year is already signed up for 07/27/2013. 07/17 - Saturday is almost sold out!

Workout more on weekends.

Muskegon, MI here. :smile:

(2) Warrior Dashes and (1) Tough Mudder under my belt now. Do the Warrior Dash. You can walk if you need to. Just do it and finish it.

Join the gym as a couple.

Running on a treadmill is easier than running outside. You just need to get used to running outside. Give it time and you'll get over the breathing issue.

My wife and I had to make the same choice! We chose the gym membership and are glad we did. :smile: If I had just the treadmill, we would have been bored as heck. The gym offers the variety we need to keep the workouts interesting.

Are you weighing your food portions or guesstimating? If you are estimating, you could be way off in calories.

^^ This. I have (2) pairs of shoes in my gym bag. Running shoes and my lifting shoes.

Um, you can't. Even if they don't support you, you need to do what works for you.

Can't you reapply when you are under the 245lb cutoff?

Why do we need to guess your weight? Don't you already know how much you weigh?

C25K works. Just do it.

I did Crossfit at my gym for (6) months prior to my Tough Mudder which I did in Michigan/Ohio on 04/14/12. The mix of cardio and weightlifting had me prepared. I think (4) months will be enough to get you ready. The event was a hoot and I am pre-registered for 2013. ;D The running is spread out and you won't run more than…

Awesome Gun show ladies! :happy:

If it fits within your calorie goals, why do you even need to ask?

I went and got a new spouse that is supportive.

The OP is splurging on the weekends... how would that be "starvation mode"....

Ab specific excercises won't help you lose belly fat.

Crossfit

My motivation is that I don't want to be fat.
