  • Hiya Waldo! First of all Congratulations on your weight loss I see on your ticker that you have an amazing accomplishment, I'm not really as interested in what the "cool kids" are doing or what people feel others are doing wrong, more interested in personal references of what works best for you, from weight loss to energy…
  • SEE this is why I love the message boards. I've noticed similar things. I am starting training for a half and when my runs get into higher mileage (for me I'm sure my higher mileage is seen by others as their warm-up runs) and with the weight training, yoga, and cycling I do get much hungrier, but low carb doesn't work due…
  • Thats what I was thinking too! My husband can eat like that without gaining weight so I'm used to it.
  • Love the info! Thank you I'll peek at your diary!
  • I've been researching this more and love the philosophy and trying to implement it a lot more. Its harder...I live in suburbia, but I'll take what I can get and I feel this is something worth seeking out. I'm considering gardening, raising chickens, and looking into a co-op for fruits/veggies and local farms for…
  • Not really specifically going for a body fat/weight loss or suggestions for me personally just curious what works for other people and how it benefits them. More specifically than just overall weight loss. For example, I noticed when I cleaned up my diet and went higher protein I wasn't as hungry as I was before. I also…
  • haha Interesting you would say that considering or looking into a nutritional based field career change, but I am also intrigued cause I subscribe to the method of what works for some doesn't always for others and cause I love food and I'm slightly nosy, but a whole lot curious!
  • I would rather shut down my facebook. I feel very strongly that I will present myself in a socially acceptable manner in my professional ( or in the student's cases, educational) setting, but refuse to allow my private time be mandated or governed by employers/schools.
  • GORGEOUS AND LOVE YOUR playful nature in your after pic! Woohoo!
  • This topic comes up frequently...I started my weight loss journey with them, because I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start...now that I know A LOT more about nutrition I wouldn't suggest them or use them. Do they work to lose weight? Yes. So does master cleanse, lemonade diet, weight watchers, slimfast, etc. Are…
  • www.fat2fitradio.com I did the 1200 thing while increasing my exercise steadily to where I was running minimum 4.5 miles 3 times a week lifting 3 days and cycling 2 days....you know what happened. 3 month plateau, yep 3 whole months....and an injury. I feel 100% that the injury was due to not having the proper nutrition to…
  • Your body does get used to it. the second class I took I had to pedal without touching the seat......however, it does get better and you'll be fine. GREAT going! Love spinning!
  • Ali, I would like to do more with helping people prepare meal plans or possibly even meals that fit with their nutritional needs and help formulate and implement ways to include meeting their goals as a permanent lifestyle change. Phew..that was hard felt like I was answering a Ms. America question. I would love to do more…
  • Congrats that is AWESOME!
  • Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great run!!!!!
  • YOu can totally do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I "liked" the facebook page and asked the author for help because I too was confused...he directed me to the website for downloadble worksheets and that felt like the "aha" missing component. COMPLETELY helped me understand and structured the workouts for me. The worksheets give you the full schedule, but lets you…
  • 169 finally IN THE 160S!!!!! However, I really really really really need to focus on my body fat percentage. I bought a new scale that has the hand grips and the feet sensors I know its not accurate, but gives me a better overall idea. My body fat percentage is nowhere near what I want it to be....I'm aiming for 21%. I'm…
  • I'm also so sorry to hear about your injury and it can be so difficult to overcome the "mental" part of the injury. I had a knee issue that took me away from running and was FREAKING out. I did start bikram and feel that has helped me TONS! And positive attitude and prayer. I also reminded me a lot of the above! It is diet…
  • I would love this to be the automatic welcome email that people get when they join mfp!!!!! I was one of those people...I stalled from January to about 2 weeks ago. after I stalled and wanted to cry for 2 months a friend recommended fat2fitradio.com I listened and upped my calories up by 1000 more than I was eating. I ate…
  • They weren't my particular thang either, but the hubby LOVED them and they were iconic and from what I saw of interviews truly just great human beings.
  • hahahahahahahahahahahahaah!
  • I had a dream a couple of nights ago where my house was going to be destroyed and had to grab the most important things. SO I took it as a that those things are all I really need to be happy. 1. Hubby 2. El Boogie (our chihuahua) 3. My running shoes 4. My ipod 5. My yoga mat. Those 5 things. :)
  • I have a friend that is doing the watermelon run!!!!! I should ask her for details. I wanted to update all of yall that the color run added new cities to Florida, Tampa/St. Pete and Miami. Those cities registrations open tomorrow. They still have not opened the registration to Orlando....not sure why. I'm considering…
  • interesting didn't realize I had my profile on lockdown....well I'll go fix that, but thank you!!!!!!
  • DominqueSmall that pic of your feet and your baby pug <3!!!!!!!! Love pugs! looks like it was a happy day!
  • I love this - stories like these gave me hope that I can survive the program!! [/quote] You Can and more importantly you WILL not only survive, but fall in love also..and I agree with your boyfriend every day out there is a race you are winning!
  • c25k changed my life. Prior to c25k I wouldn't run if you told me I could get Manolos on sale for $5 dollars, but routinely walked the dog. Then I tried it and I think that with the walk/run intervals it didn't overwhelm me and I fell madly passionately head over heels in love with running. I'm so glad to see all of the…
  • I set up a google template to help me plan my week!!!! It definitely helps and I agree preplanning is AWESOME!!!!!! And I would love to be a personal chef. I've taken quite a liking to the healthy food preparation!
  • Completely agree Jessamine our pantry is well stocked with herbs, spices, vinegars, and olive oil! I keep meaning to try virgin coconut oil, but haven't yet.
