Not sure if i'm done yet...
I don't know if my image will post, I tried to link it from my facebook account... The first pic was taken in Feb, when I had lost a little over 10 pounds since the new year. In the second, I had lost a little over 30 pounds. I am 5 foot 6, and I started the year at 177.4 pounds on January 1st. I've gotten down to 143, and…

What a Difference a Word Makes...
Mentally, at least. Since January, have been (very) slowly plugging away at losing weight. I am not quite sure what my ultimate goal is. I'm adjusting it as I go. I broke my larger goals into mini goals (5 to 10 pounds at a time). My first "large" weight goal was to get myself out of the overweight category on the BMI…

Protein shake/smoothie recipe thread?
I know there is a protein shake thread floating around here with a base recipe that has cottage cheese in it? Then it has like a TON of other recipes under it so you can modify the shake to taste yummy ( I think there was cookies 'n' cream, chocolate chip cookie, some other stuff like that.) I searched but there are so…

TRX Training
I took this class called Bodyweb by TRX this morning at my gym. Oh, man it was KILLER! I guess it's a suspension training system originally designed by Navy Seals. I can't wait to go back, it was so fun (and painful! haha) Have you ever taken a TRX class or worked with the TRX system? Do/did you enjoy it? I'm feeling…

c25k
I did my last session (week 9, day 3) last night!!! I'm a graduate of the c25k program!!! Yay!!!! My first 5k is scheduled for May 28th. It's called Run for the Red, and it benefits the Red Cross. I'm super excited, and terrified at the same time! :laugh: If you are currently doing c25k and it seems really hard and…

My first 5k?
Im currently doing c25k...supposed to do week 9 day 1 tomorrow. However, I run incredibly slow. Like, on my 28 minute runs this past week, I averaged about 1.85 miles each-my longest run in 28 minutes was 1.9 miles. At this point, I can't even run 3 miles straight through yet. :blushing: I live in the foothills and…

Bridge to 10k?
I'm 2 weeks and 1 day from finishing c25k, I am not really sure what to do with myself now. I really love running now! Of course i'm very new so I run veeerrry slowly. Should I take a couple of weeks at the end of c25k and just work at 30 mins per session trying to up my speed a bit, or should I just jump right into Bridge…

Running Frequency?
Hi all. I'm doing c25k...i'm up to week 7, and able to run for 25 minutes at a time. Until now I have been doing the program mon/wed/fri with every other day + weekends off to rest my legs because I was worried about an old knee injury flaring up. I was thinking about switching it to every other day and not taking the…

c25k Week 5 Day 3 (kinda long...sorry)
This is a bit long...:blushing: but I hope you'll take the time to read it anyway. :heart: I'm 35 years old and i've given birth to 5 children. I'm about 10 pounds overweight according to the BMI scales, a good 20 pounds over my (personal) coveted weight. I have asthma. I've had it ever since I was little. I was excused…

Disneyland Pass Holders?
It seems like i've seen a ton of people post on the message boards that they have Disneyland annual passes. Hubby and I just got our premium passports a few weeks ago and i'm totally loving it! Do you have a pass? What kind do you have? What's your favorite thing to do at Disneyland/California Adventure?

Protein Powder revisited
I did use the search function and didn't quite find what I was looking for. Is it possible to find a cheap, fairly healthy (not a lot of additives) protein powder to try out? What flavor would you recommend that won't get old quickly if I am using it once per day? I was thinking about possibly starting my day with it and…

Weight Loss with children
I hope this post doesn't make me sound mean or rude. I just wanted to post it to be encouraging/motivating to other moms, and I hope it is taken as an encouraging post. I had it on my page, but felt it was better posted in the forum. I'm kind of scared of being flamed, but here goes... I hope this doesn't sound intolerant,…

Do you have trouble eating all your cals...
on heavier workout days? It's hit or miss for me...sometimes i'm absolutely starving after the workout, and sometimes I kinda feel like I don't have much of an appetite and have to "look for" stuff to fill my calories. Do you ever lose your appetite after an unusually long or hard workout?

Another 30 Day Shred Question
Did you use just the dvd or did you also try out the 30 day trial offer for the website that came with it?

non looks, non sports goals?
Do any of you have goals that are completely unrelated to looking hot, playing sports, etc-but are things you hope will improve as you get more fit? I love, love, LOVE to sing...but right now i'm kind of out of shape and my asthma acts up and i get short of breath while trying to sing certain songs. I'm hoping that by…

Dear...
Dear Teenagers I Take to the Gym, I think it's *wonderful* that you can hold a full conversation while walking on your hands at 12.0 mph on the highest incline on the treadmill without breaking a sweat. I, however, am old. I am out of shape. I have asthma and a heart murmur. PLEASE stop trying to have conversations with me…

Personal Trainers in the US?
What are your certs and why? How did you choose which certifications you wanted to get? It seems like there are so many... NASM/ACE/ISSA/AFPA...and more? Do you have more than one certifcation? A few years ago (or a bit more lol), when my kids were little, I was studying fitness and sports nutrition in the hopes of…

Ground Bison
I've had it at restaurants and it was delicious! I pretty much only ate it as a hamburger patty though. I found some on super sale at the store the other day. My husband has never tried it so I bought some so he could check it out. I don't know if we should just make patties and throw them on the grill or what else to do…

Make up
What are some of the make up products you really can't live without? Also, do you have a good (cheap) recommendation for a waterproof, hypoallergenic mascara? I wear contacts and even without them in i've noticed my old stand by (Maybelline Great Lash, been using it for years) mascara is making my eyes all sensitive and…

Brag on your spouse/SO! :0)
Alright, alright, I don't know how well this is going to be received...but I have been thinking about posting a thread like this for literally weeks. It seems to be very common for people to post negative things about their spouse/SO on here, and it seems so redundant anymore. (To the most recent poster, I promise this…

Natural vs. lowfat
It seems there are several different "camps" on MFP regarding foods. In particular, natural vs. lowfat seems to come into play often. Some people enjoy eating natural, unprocessed foods, and others prefer eating low-fat, processed "diet" foods. I imagine there are some who are kind of in the middle and enjoy both. (I think…
