Somehow, that's exactly the type of person that ends up directly in front of me in races... tight pants and all... and they're tall and I'm short so it's all up in my face. Not into females so it's basically like I have to run for miles with a big butt in my face! Good incentive to speed up.

I think most people like olives, but I don't.

I ate all kinds of crap in school - and before and after school at the nearby Convenient store. Cookies and chips with every lunch, tacos, pizza, hot dogs, "chicken" patties, pop, crappy juices, etc. I was the same weight I am now though because I was super active in all of the after school activities they are cutting at a…

Oh yummy!

Oh my goodness, I sweat SO MUCH more when I lift than when I do cardio. I can't believe it would be the opposite for anyone! Although maybe it's just because I'm really weak!

Thanks everyone, that's one thing I always do all my running by myself, I even go to the races by myself. There is a Cleveland West road runners club I could check out. I thought about doing a blog about my adventure but I don't think I'd actually like that lol.

Bump...

B, I think the A posts are more creative, whereas the B posts are always the same questions over and over ("do you gain weight at TOM?" "Is this just TOM weight, or did I really gain 5 lbs of fat?")

Because there are too many good habits to list, and very few bad ones!

Not flushing the toilet! Then you go on a trip and come back and find out it wasn't flushed...oh boy... My brother has the same bad habit too lol. He used my parents' toilet, didn't flush, and he and my parents went on vacation for over a week. He's not allowed to use my parents' toilet anymore!

I assumed it was cream of wheat, but oatmeal makes sense because that's pretty healthy.

My field is predominantly men still, but that's changing and it's an office setting so it's not difficult to be girly. However I do have a suggestion. I used to work in a jewelry store and I had a client who worked in construction or something like that. She obviously couldn't wear huge extravagant jewelry, but she liked…

I think it's the default setting, or just friends... I have opened mine at someone's request, but if nobody had said anything, I wouldn't have even bothered to look what the setting was.

Bump

No big deal, whatever you prefer.

I don't think it works for lifting. The HRM calculates how hard you are working based on your heart rate, and while you're doing cardio, you're continuously working. But when you're lifting weights, you're working for a minute, and then resting a minute, then working a minute. But your heart rate is still up during your…

I'm in the same boat, although I haven't done a full marathon yet just halves. I feel so hungry all day long after I do a long run, even if I eat, I'm starving two hours later. I certainly don't want to gain weight, and feel it would help my knees if I lost about 10 lbs. Also I do remember seeing in article in Runners…

I have the Zip because they were the "accessory of the month" where my SO works and I got a significant discount, so I thought why not. I think it works pretty well. I wear it on my pocked or clipped inside my pants (although I do have problems the days I wear dresses - not often) and never had any problems with laundry or…

I'd like to know too, I have a HRM with a chest strap I got on Groupon, but it was pretty cheap so I'm not sure how accurate it is. I'd like to invest in something better eventually.

To my brother: Yes

Neither really. I want to maintain an active lifestyle while keeping a fairly healthy diet. I have no idea what weight, look, or size I'd be happy at. If I can achieve my diet and exercise goal, I can live with looking as I do now if I must.

I don't really ever notice people's bodies when I swim. I'm too worried about mine!

Alcohol is DEFINITELY a dehydrater lol. Won't drink that before a big event ever again!

Also I have a speedo brand reversible suit for exercise swimming.

I hate Cleveland, except I LOVE the lake.

I went to Vegas but forgot my swimsuit that I didn't love, but nevertheless I needed one. I drank a fishbowl drink, and then headed off to buy a new bikini. I thought it would be an awful idea to buy a bathing suit while I was *ahem* tipsy, but it's my favorite I've ever had! I just went to Victoria's secret and picked one…

I had a friend compliment me on my weight loss, then ask me if I was planning on gaining any back (this guy is known for liking what he calls "curvy" girls...what he calls curvy, not what i would call curvy). That pissed me off, not everyone likes obese women like he does, but I let it go. No, I worked hard to lose it,…

Sounds like a lot of people were depressed or had something happen to them. With me, my mom is just an amazing cook!
