I'm close to you but I'm not with your gym. If you're interested in working out outdoors--new jogging addiction--we can get together.

Have gotten addicted to running and I'm trying to work my way into participating in 5Ks and looking to hook up with others. Want to do something fun and low pressure to start and this sounds like fun. There's also the Run like Diva race scheduled for Sept. 14 in VA…

Had to kick it up a notch...Still got 3 more days in February...Lots of miles of cover.

Back at it again...and 60 is the new target!!

Looks like getting to 50 miles won't be a problem.

I'm actually home visiting my mother this weekend in Brampton but live in the DC metro area. You have your hands full being a mom of 4 so I applaud you for first acknowledging that you need to focus some time on you. There are lots of fellow Canadians and others on MFP who will no doubt reach out to you offering support on…

Day 14 - 3.69 miles

Day 13 - 1.42 miles

I have no trouble feeling energized enough to I run three days per week and strength train another 3 days and rest on Sundays.

Day 12 - 5 miles

Day 9 - 3 miles; Day 10 - 0; Day 11 - 2.5 miles

You seem to be on the right track with your program. I'm 46 and I've found that I've needed to lower my carbs significantly. I've been as low as 10% or roughly 38 grams from whole foods and strive for about 150 grams of protein (protein shakes, egg, tuna, salmon, chicken, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, flaxmeal, chai seeds,…

I was stuck for quite a while. However, every since I committed to a lifting program 3 times per week with a trainer and running every other day and continue to work hard at cleaning up my eating by focusing on a farm to table diet, those last few pounds have been coming off. I'm literally 1 pound from my initial goal.…

Day 7 - 3 miles; Day 8 - 2 miles

Day 6 - 2.76 miles

Day 4&5 = 5.46miles

Day 3

Day 2

Day 1

I'm in!

My morning java is a required elixir to start my day. Some things I refuse to compromise. So even though I may add a variety of creamers, ultimately I want to savor the coffee.

My husband motivated my love for brussel sprouts. We absolutely love it roasted simply with olive oil, fresh thyme, garlic, salt & pepper. But at times to kick things up a few notches I'll saute it in olive oil with onion, garlic, curry, fresh ginger and red pepper flakes. This was on the menu for Christmas and there were…

I use the website for the most part. My phone is for all my other addictions...

I resisted :tongue: strength training like the plague even though I knew my body needed it. Finally in early November I started working with a trainer at my gym three days/week. I absolutely love it now because I love his technique. We started with low weights/three reps. He keeps changing up the routine so I never know…

Quest bars top my list...Tried em all, love em all (except the chocolate brownie). Must now hunt down the new banana nut flavor....

Once I got past the initial fishy smell and its texture and tried cooking with it a couple times I love it. Its a regular part of my diet. I'd jump on a deal.

Was at today's game and saw them lose to my Redskins....Hail to the Redskins!!

The scaIe and I, we do have a complicated relationship. I wish I could say the number doesn't matter but it does. That number matters when I go to the DMV and I have to reveal my weight so its recorded for all to see on my driver's licence. It matters when I go to the doctor and "we do the numbers." It matters when I…
