That's awesome, congratulations!

I agree! Use it just as you would with reg. peanut butter!

I try and schedule them early in the morning before anyone else has to get up. I find that if I don't I always try and find an excuse not to do them and when you are trying to get healthy making your workout time unnegotiable is a must!

HOLY CRAP...319...HOLY CRAP!

Ryan Reynolds hands down!

I have 5, they all have a special meaning and I say if you want them have them, it's your body!

I was about 195 when i did my first 5K last Nov. my time was around 40min.

My first 5K was Thanksgiving of 2011 and I remember the adrenaline of the crowd sure helped keep you going! I ended up walking for about a minute close to the end...but when I made it there I cried a little, 10 months before that I would have never thought I would even be running so it was a big deal for me!

I don't remember what my numbers were, but I know when I did it I lost inches and a couple of pounds! If you think you are going to burn out easily I would suggest that you take at least 1 day a week off! Good Luck!

I am curious about the connection between low carb and hypothyroidism?!

OUT of the plus size clothing and my kids, 8 and 10, can now put their arms all the way around me!

That is awesome!

I am 5'8 and 187 in my profile picture!

Sometimes when you begin new qym routines and switch things up youeibodies reaction is to be sore (and retain water to protect your muscles) so that could be one reason. Also, don't get discouraged..afterall it is not about the number on the scale as much as it is about getting healthier. If you feel the scale is becoming…

I don't, but I should just to see what it says!

Couldn't agree more...and from experiance doing my first 5K last fall. there is something to be said for the rush of the croud! That in it's self will keep you going! You will be great because you are great!

You look awesome!

You should def. try almond...preferably fresh ground from your local co-op!

Well, the last time I did this I lost and Elephants penis...this time it is the Fats and Oils an American eats each year...YUCK! I have to say the humor in the Elephant penis thing makes for a much better story to tell!

Born in 1978 and my name is Brooke, my grandparents and many others used to call me Trout.

My kids screaming at me to answer the phone!

So, true...way to go on getting started! This workout sure is a challenge but well worth it!

So sorry to hear about the passing of your loving Jake...to most of us, loosing an animal is like loosing a member of our family! May you have peace knowing he is at peace and is now your guardian angel!

I was being hugged by one of my kids and they said "mom, when I hug you I can get my arms all around you and touch my hands!!!" Mind you this was coming from my 8 year old daughter, so for me that was saying alot!

This is why I love MFP...encouragement, support and knowing that I am not the only one who has to get back on! Thanks everyone!

You look awesome, Congratulations!

For me prob. about a month plus...I think it all depends on how much you have to loose as a whole. I lost much faster when I first started my journey, but now these last 12lbs. don't want to go anywhere:wink:

Sorry to hear about your friend....may she live on in your memories!

You can do it...you have come to the right place! Don't loose faith in yourself, you are stronger then you think you are!
