That sounds delicious!

I was just going to suggest Rock My Run! I am addicted...I love that there's so much to choose from and that new stuff is always being added. I've been a member since last fall, but became a "Premium" member in February. I think it was $36 for the year for the Premium membership, but I get 36 downloads (including premium…

Hi everyone! I have to remember to check in over here!!! My first 5K was a lot of fun - I really enjoyed it! I finished in 27:54, which I was happy with. I hadn't set any time goals for myself - I just wanted to say I'd completed one! :) I just want to say thank you to everyone that wished me well on my race...I appreciate…

sammylc - some days are DEFINITELY easier than others! Sorry today was a struggle. Hope tomorrow's better! :)

Monday: 4.07 miles running Tuesday: (weight lifting - no miles) Wednesday: 5.05 miles running WTD: 9.12 miles THANKS debi_f and sammylc! One of my mfp friends, who I haven't met in person yet, is going to do it with me - along with another friend - so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. And the forecast looks great as of right…

I'm running in my very first 5K this coming Saturday! :) Monday: 4.07 miles running WTD: 4.07 miles

Hello! So I must admit - I've been getting Reese's messages every week for awhile now, but never came out here to see what was going on! Since it's already Friday, I've kind of missed the boat on logging this week, but I'd like to join in this Sunday for next week. I'm trying to ramp up my mileage now that the weather's…

I like the longer compression shorts (7 or 8 inch inseam). They hold everything in place and don't seem to ride up at all. :)

I love www.skinnytaste.com, too. I also use www.emilybites.com and www.eat-yourself-skinny.com. I'm not sure how many vegetarian recipes can be found on these sites, but maybe you could easily adapt some of the recipes to make them vegetarian???

I'm about to hit 550 days and I have a friend on here who's just over 600 days now. YOU INSPIRE ME to keep going...I wanna see 1000 days, too!!! Congratulations on your weight loss...but even more so, great job on MAINTAINING YOUR LOSS for so long! WOW! WOW! WOW! :flowerforyou:

I've been maintaining within a few pounds (gain a couple, then lose a couple) for a little over a year now. I try to log during the weekdays, but have stopped on the weekends. I've slacked off the last month or two in the exercise arena and KNOW I need to get more serious there again - it's what allows me those 'free…

^^^THIS! Very well said!

Nice job - you look great! Hope you win the challenge/money!!! Keep us posted.

LOL!!!!!! I hear ya! I didn't share many of my 'before' pics willingly, either!

You already know how much I admire you!!! But I have to say that I've never seen that before pic - you can DEFINITELY see a big difference! I've said it to you before and I'll say it again...YOU'RE AWESOME!!! :happy:

Welcome to MFP! Congrats on taking control and making positive changes in your life. You're doing a great job! Stick with it - I look forward to reading your success story! :flowerforyou:

What a great, easy to read, quick reference! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!!!

Great job! I'm so excited for you - after following your news updates, it's so awesome to see you break through!!! I'd high five you if I was there. :wink: Way to continue in your bad-assness! Yes - that IS a word. OK - maybe not, but it SHOULD be!

I agree - I wish the iPhone app had warm-ups built in! I always have a little sticky note that I carry down to the basement with my phone that breaks down my warm-ups. It would be SO nice if those were in the app, too - one less thing to think about! :wink:

I had taken a quick look at Jamie's plan. Hearing what you're saying, I'm glad I didn't try it. That DOES seem like a lot of time in the gym! I hope you enjoy SL 5x5! :)

Hi! I just posted in the introductions page, so I apologize if this is a repeat for any of you! I'm new to this group. Looks like this is the thread I should've posted my progress in. So - here's where I started on 3/12/12 with this program and my progress as of this week: - Squat: 75lbs --> 140lbs - Bench Press: 45lbs -->…

Hi Everyone! I'm Jess and was pointed to this group by Tameko! Thanks again, Tameko! :happy: I had been doing heavy lifting at home with my husband for awhile, mixed in with a BodyPump class here or there at the gym and some TRX work once in awhile for variation. I picked up NROLFW back in the fall, made it through stage…

I made this one before: http://www.recipegirl.com/2012/01/16/cauliflower-crust-hawaiian-pizza/ It was pretty tasty, but you definitely want to eat it as soon as it's done baking. It gets pretty soft/mushy if you let it sit too long or try to eat it as leftovers later. I ate it as leftovers - it still tasted ok, just had to…

I have TurboFire and really enjoy it. I also love Kelly Coffey-Meyer. She has a lot of different FUN DVDs - boxing, kick-boxing, step aerobics, step-boxing (combination of step aerobics and kick-boxing...LOVE these!), and strength training.

I have both a Polar HRM and a BodyMedia FIT Link armband...both are great! And I agree with mamamc03 - the chest strap for the HRM won't be in the way at all! The HRM is only going to track your calories burned during exercise...the BodyMedia FIT will track your calories burned all day long. I find that the readings I get…

That was my goal! I met it and am now maintaining! Here's my "success story" if you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/348690-goal-met-exceeded-37lbs-lost-w-pics?error_user_id=7971532&error_username=jkuhn71&hl=37lbs+lost+with+pics

I aim for (and typically exceed) 120 gms of protein per day. I get it from a variety of places. Lean meats, cheeses, greek yogurt, beans, etc. I'm also a user of protein powder/bars/shakes. I put protein powder in my oatmeal almost every morning. I also add it to pancakes, waffles, muffins, etc. - anything I'm making that…

I added Bodypump to my exercise list (under cardiovascular). I use a BodyMedia FIT Link armband (used to use a Polar HRM) and just use the calories it shows for that workout. There's a TON of threads on here about why you shouldn't use your HRM, etc. for strength training. But I'm not someone who plays with my…

Not sure that this really answers your question - but it's an interesting read comparing squats to leg presses: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shannon1.htm
