  • Good for you! You look amazing (and you look like you feel amazing!)
  • Add lots more veggies. Broccoli fills me up for a long time. I am at approx1800 calories. Here is my planned day (and I never feel hungry). I will also get in 1 hour of weightlifting with hiit cardio mixed in... breakfast: 2 eggs 1 cup red pepper 3 breakfast sausages snack: 1 oz nuts (yes really weigh them) 1 cup carrots…
  • lunges, core work (v-sits, supermans, bicycles, etc), step ups, shuffles, sumo squats, plié squats
  • Great smile - very friendly face.
  • My original bachelorette weekend trip plan was to rent a townhouse and enjoy a few small wineries and spas. Well, life got in the way (3 friends unexpectedly lost jobs and 2 more got pregnant) so instead we opted for a potluck and sleepover. Everyone brought lame romcoms and sinful food we would never admit to eating in…
  • My fear of public bathrooms + her love of public bathrooms selfies
  • Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper
  • Red Money - David Bowie
  • I ran Chicago RnR Half 2 years ago and will NEVER run a RnR EVER again. You will wait 40+ minutes to start. The water stations are messy at best - and poorly staffed and stocked. Walk through them or to go the far outside to avoid slipping on the thoguhsands of cups they don't clean up. The porta potty lines are INSANE -…
  • 07 VW Touraeg! LOVE my baby and the certified pre-owned gets you a warrant!
  • By fitted do you mean they fit right or did you actually go to a running shoe store and have a professional analyze how you move? That literally look me from crying during runs to NO pain.
  • All of that being said. If you like your run and plan to keep doing it - do yuorself a HUGE favor and go to a running store to get fitted for shoes. It is AMAZING the damage you can do in the long-term running in the wrong shoes (no matter how much you paid for them). The people are running stores are trained to do this…
  • Welcome to the "family". My younger sister started her weight loss journey just over 400 lbs and has lost 30 lbs since January! The one thing she said that she actually heard me say and was useful (aren't sisters sweet) is to track every BLT. BITE LICK TASTE. That nibble of your son's pizza, every spooonful of ice cream…
  • What the WW website/paperwork doesn't tell you but most leaders will is that you will GAIN using their new points system if you eat more than 3 servings of your free fruit a week. Yup, I was one of those people who saw my scale go the wrong way on the new points system!
  • They have a photo company at like 3 spots. Your guests will be charged $10 each to watch and they can only see the start and final 2 obstacles. I ran IL last year and luckily we took my husband's car. If I had brought mine, we never would have made it up the farm field hill full of divets and ruts. There were literally 10+…
  • Also keep an eye on your ingredients for suagr alcohol (sugar free gums and mints usually have them). Those are highly responsible for dieting toots!
  • My husband loves a sweet and can control himself when he has one (who eats one piece of chocolate). The agreement in our house is the junk food goes in his office (which is a mess and i don't go into). Amazing how out-of-site-out-of-mind really does work!
    in Why? Comment by auntv77 January 2012
  • I could not agree more! The measuring tape should be a major factor in your tracking. That said, MFP tends too give me too many calories from workouts. maybe try not to eat all of your workout-earned calories this week? And forthe love of all things good for you - put down the Diet Coke and run from it! Most nutritionists…
  • On the body shapers. just remember what is being held willcomeout elsewhere. try it on with your dress. Sit. Stand. Walk. Move. see where they creep, roll, pinch, etc. There is not much worse than a body shaper malfunction!
  • You will see people complete a 5k in less than 15 minutes - and you will see people complete a 5k in less than an hour. It is about what is right for you - and what is right for you that day as well. Keep in mind that there is a HUGE difference in the feeling and effort of running on a teradmill vs running outside so don't…
  • I am a comando girl as ell - or I likethe Under Armor panties but holy $15 a pair!
  • Careful those of you runningon a treadmill. If you plan to actually run a 5k on the street someday the feeling and difficulty is COMPLETELY different. Tthe treadmill is much easier on your body but running outisde is much easier on your mind as there is a LOT more to see and not think about running!
  • Are you running with music? Find your favorite 2 songs - that is about 8 minutes! And as a reward for finishing the week you get to download a new song? That is my reward for weight goals, fitness goals, etc. New music = new motivation!
  • Baking soda works wonders. And be sure they completely dry between wearings - use crumpled newspaper to help them air out.
