I feel the same. I only have 3 (3.5yo, 2.5yo, 6.5mos), but between work, commuting, and kids, I can't seem to find me anywhere. I'm getting back to what I was doing before kids with my eating. Exercise will come when it can. Sleep seems to prevail when any time is found available.

A large portion of that might have to do with your breathing and exertion level. Also, do you swim with a swim cap? What about your goggles? Are they too tight or constricting, do your goggles fit correctly (sometimes the pressure from my goggles around my eye socket can cause me problems every now and then), etc? There…

I am from New Orleans and apparantly, everybody thinks we talk weird. We might say some things a little weird or make up our own words for things, but not everybody talks like that! In fact, only a small percentage of the population here does (aka Swamp People). IT IS NOT "Nawlins". It is New Orleans. No, I don't live in a…

A quote I found on hasfit.com sums up my philosophy on my weightloss: "I'm not losing weight, I'm getting rid of it. I have no intentions of finding it again." Enjoy!

I really don't like spending money, and I am a saver/penny pincher normally. But, now that I have gotten into cycling, I always like to pop by the store and the bike section to find new things/gadgets to put on my bike or replace on an older bike that I have and trying to make ridable again. Besides that, I splurge on…

I have a black pit with some white on her face, chest, and belly. We got her from a local rescue and she came to us with the name of Kitty. No lie. We thought about changing it, but after getting to know her better, Kitty has stuck and it fits her well. She loves curling up next to anybody and snuggling and is so sweet.…

Thanks for the info so far!

I was watching a discovery health show on weightloss and obesity late one night, and one guy they were profiling lost height also. They said it was because he had fat in his feet that made him a little taller and when he lost his weight, he also lost the fat in his feet which resulted in the loss of height. Hope this…

I was a pretty serious athlete in highschool and I wish I could've told my 17 yr old self that when the college letters came in, I should've picked a school based on my ability to play or make the team (track or basketball) and more importantly a school that I want to go to with my subject of interest. I would also tell…

After my aunt told me about this issue between using measuring cups and the scale, I went out and bought a cheap little manual scale to try it out. The $5 I spent on that food scale was worth it!! I was overeating and not even knowing I was! I was following the measuring cup as exactly as I could. All I use now is the…

Congrats on finishing your first 5K and way to be proud of your race! You did a great job! All that matters is that you had fun while doing it.

This sounds like a reasonable challenge!! Let the biking begin!

Gender: Female Age: 26 Height: 5-7 SW: 225 CW: 189.5 GW: 165 NSV goals: Run a 10K, run a half marathon, finish a sprint tri, do a pullup, do more than one standard pushup, attempt a century ride on my bike, be able to move around with my younger active cousins, keep up with the athletes I coach, get into a size 10-12…

Lunges!! Any type... walking lunges, forward lunges, backwards lunges, side lunges, stationary lunges... anything lunges... :grumble: :angry:

^I agree! It is so quick to use the barcode scanner and when something doesn't come up with the scanner, I get a little sad inside. I think the scanner is making me a bit lazy though... lol.

diet coke and popcorn!!

It was on my 25th birthday. I was out of state visiting my grandparents and some of the trip was spent looking at old photos and remembering the "good times". There were a few pictures on the table left out and when I woke up I grabbed one, went to the bathroom, and compared the picture to what I saw in the mirror. I was…

HAHA. Same here. On facebook, I do not want people to know how much I used to weigh. I have already lost quite a bit, but I don't want people to do the math and be shocked or make comments about it. Nobody except close friends and family knew exactly how big I got. I might post my final results on facebook with a nice…

I use my iphone app to log my calories and use the barcode scanner to help with logging when I can. I measure my food with a food scale so I fix my food and log at the same time (measure and while measuring I barcode scan the container/bag/box and adjust my servings amount) then go enjoy my good food!!

2440.56 + 2.1 = 2442.66 Just saw this on the message boards and thought I'd add to it!!

You look absolutely amazing and really rock that Saints jersey!! (Fellow who dat here!!) Great job losing the weight! That took incredible courage to post your picture and thank you for sharing!!

I have a book you can read on training. It's called "Your First Triathlon". It even gives workout plans to help you build up. I think it's a 12 week program and it even lets you decide if there is something you wanted to focus on whether it be swimming, running, or biking.

Saw B.B. King twice at the House of Blues here in NOLA and then saw the Wailers (of course minus Bob Marley, but the replacement guy was pretty awesome) at the HOB in NOLA also. Worst concert I've seen was Ying Yang Twins (they were playing free at LSU for Fall Fest a few years back). They sucked. They were over an hour…

"Tigers love pepper... they hate cinnamon" Alan Garner, The Hangover I just love how he says it. Like it's a well known fact that everyone should now and he says it like there a "well, duh!?" tone. Very matter of effect way of saying it. I love it and I love the movie!

HAHA! I guess nobody reads anymore... :wink:

Usually I don't eat my calories back, but if I'm still hungry and I have the room for it left over, I will eat some healthy choices. Now that I set my calorie goal a bit lower than where it has been I eat back my exercise calories only when I exercise so it helps me want to exercise so I can eat a little more (trying to…

Thanks for asking the question. I just started weighing my food and was looking up what other people have written about the same topic and came by yours.

HAHA!! I do the same thing! Great!

I use no sugar added frozen fruits (about a cup), greek yogurt (1/2 cup), 1/2 cup water (becuase my blender has to have some sort of liquid with the frozen stuff to work well), and a scoop of protein powder. I used to use this after every workout and then as a snack when I was having trouble meeting my protein through…
