After 18 years together, I FINALLY weigh less than dh!! Right now I'm about 2 pounds lighter than him, but I'd like to lose another 10-15. He's abut 5'11" and 178 lbs, so he's a healthy weight.

Well, no chance I'm going to make my goal this month, but I'll keep plugging away anyway. 11 miles for me this week, putting my new total at 31.5.

I don't have a HRM, but I have noticed that MFP and the treadmill at the gym are almost exaclty spot-on with each other.

Are you in Canada? What is the imperial equivalent of the 5K, or is it just called a 5K in the States as well?

It's been a slow month for me, way too much going on, so I'm not getting out as often as I would like. This week I did a total of 11.5, putting my total for the month at 20.5. I checked the spreadsheet, and it seems that I have been confusing you in my check-ins. I usually just post my ticker, so from now on I'll be sure…

I love to cook up a pound of skinless, boneless chicken, or extra lean ground beef, fried up with some garlic, onions, salt, pepper, etc., to taste, then toss in a bottle of salsa. Then I scoop 1/4 of this on top of chopped greens, cucumber, peppers, and so on. Soooo yummy with the hot/cold combination, and I just keep the…

Man, I'm having a really bad start to this month! Only 9/65 so far!! Oops!

Nope, sorry, but you were out of line. The rest of your life is going to be about practicing self-control...might as well get started now! Not sure how you can fix this with the ladies now, though... ETA I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned your comment about how many of the women have their own weight problems…

Hmm, somehow my last 3 miles got missed at the end of November. I did finish my full 75 mile goal, posted my ticker in the thread, but I guess it was overlooked. Oh well... :( Forgot to check in last week, but I did 3.5 miles on Saturday. Only another 5.5 miles so far this week...off to a slow start this month!

Yay, ran 3 miles to hit my goal today!

I'll sign up for 65 this month. I did 75 in November, and just barely made it, so with snow and holidays, I think it's more realistic to aim for 65. :)

Yahoo, DS had a two hour hockey game this morning, so that gave me time for a 9 mile run, bringing me within spitting distance of my month-end goal. Yay me!!! 15.9 miles this week, for a total so far of 72 miles.

Well, I'm just barely on target to meet my 75 mile goal for this month, and I don't know if it's realistic to do 75 over the month of December, when my schedule will be so mixed up. Think I might have to drop it to 60 miles for December... :)

Yay, I'm keeping on target! Here's my total:

Not sure where we're supposed to do the weekly check-in now, in this thread or over in the group, but here's my total so far...

Yay, half-way through the month today, and I just squeaked past the half-way point to my goal!

Testing to see if I can post my ticker here... Yep! Hooray! :)

I have run two, first was 2:11:11, second was 2:18:??. Hoping to run a full marathon in April, and since I'll be about 40+ pounds lighter than when I ran these halfs, I'm hoping to finish between 4:15 and 4:30.

28.8 miles as of this morning. Hmm, that puts me at 10 miles under the half-way point, 3 days before half-way through the month. I guess I'm keeping on track fairly decently then...

Child with a bad case of the croup...had to skip today's run. :o(

Did a short 1.3 miles on Thursday, missed Friday, and ran 4 miles today, for a first week total of 11.5 miles. Will have to pick that up a lot to get my 75 miles in for the month!

Am I too late to join? I'd like to sign up for 75 miles in November...hopefully I can keep the numbers straight when converting from metric! I did 3.1 miles (5km) this morning, so you can set me up with that on the graph. Thanks!

It's actually just very basic math... a one pound equals about 3500 calories burned in excess of calories consumed, so MFP just calculates how many pounds you would lose in five weeks if you consumed/burned calories at the same ratio every day, KWIM? So as long as you are not "cheating" on your tracking, it really should…

Cottage cheese with fresh berries! I started eating this because I really needed to up my protein, but I wasn't too keen on the cottage cheese, so I sprinkled a bit of sugar or sweetener on top. Now I LOVE it and eat it straight out of the carton with no sweetener. Yum! I eat 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese (you can get 4% in…

Amazing job, Lloyd! WTG!
