Boot Camp Success?
After some falling off the wagon, I've gained about 30 lbs and want stop it in its track and make a big U turn. I signed up for Boot Camp Fitness Challenge for 6 weeks. I've been a religious runner for the past 5 years, and I think it's time to add something new. Has anyone done something similar and seen good results?

Weight difference in Fit and Skinny
About 5 years ago, I lost 80 lbs and got down to 140. (I'm 5'9" & female). Now I'm back up to 173 and trying to get my body back. The first time, I lost all my weight from running and diet. This time, I'm doing more HIIT and strength with some running. I was definitely skinny at 140 (for me), but no muscle at all. This…

To weigh or not to weigh...
I weighed. I knew I'd gained some weight, but the scale was a bitter wake up call this morning. I don't know why I'm surprised. My pants are TIGHT! ugh I know I'm not too far gone and no where near where I started. I have to resign myself that constant vigilance is the only way I'll maintain. I need to commit to weighing…

10K Success!
I've done 3 half marathons and several 5ks, but when I first started losing weight and running, the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston is the first big race I did. It's huge with around 40,000 participants. It's become a tradition with a friend, and I strive to do better each time. The first year I did it, it took me…

I don't think I'm eating enough...
I was just reading another thread about eating more to lose, and several posters said that if you eat clean, then you need to eat more. I hear "eat clean" all the time, but I wasn't exactly sure what it meant. I just looked it up, and it's what I do. I will admit to some processed foods, like Lean Cuisine, but I've really…

Garmin Suggestions?
So I've been using RunKeeper on my iphone to track my pace when I run, but I think I'm ready for a Garmin. Do any of you have any recommendations? I've also started doing Triathlons, so I'd also like one I could use for that too. Do they make waterproof ones? TIA

Runners:Calf Pain
Hi Runners, So I'm experiencing some mild calf pain when I run longer distances. I've done some research, and I think it's a grade 1 strain. The recovery call for two weeks to heal, but I have a half marathon next Sunday morning. Anybody else dealt with something like this? I really want to do the half (I paid and trained…

Nervous about the open water swim
My first Tri is in August, and it's a sprint. The open water swim is 400m. I did 500 in the pool today without stopping, but I know it's not the same. I guess they won't let me drown ;0)

Eat more to lose?
I've seen something about this, and I have a friend who was told this by a nutritionist last week. I wonder if I need to try it. I've plateaued trying to lose my last 5 or so lbs. I work out 5-6 days a week for 30 min or more. I run and shred mostly, but I'm training for a sprint Tri right now, so I'm also biking and…

I did a little brick ;0)
I did my first real bike ride today and ran a lap afterwards. The term brick is totally accurate. I felt like I was running in jello, but the funny thing was at the end of the lap I was averaging an 8:47 mile (good for me). I'm honestly falling in love with biking. Now I have to start tackling real swimming. I'm getting so…

NSV - ist day of Triathlon training complete
I've run two half marathons, so now I've decided to go for a sprint tri in August. I did my first day of training yesterday with biking and running, and it was awesome. My NSV is that I haven't biked in years, but I did 6 miles and then ran a lap, and I was OK. It made me realize that I'm in shape! I guess I knew this, but…

I'm taking the Tri plunge!

Good Butt and Thigh video?
OK, so I'm about 4lbs from goal, and I pretty happy with how things are looking except my upper thighs and bootie. Has anyone used and seen results from a butt and thigh video? I already run, and I'm on round 2 of the Shred. I also have a toddler, so I don't want something longer than 30 mins :0) Help!

How do you log 30DS?

Winter NSV
I'm not sure this in an NSV, but I'm COLD this winter!! Losing over 80 lbs made a big difference in how I feel the cold. I was usually always complaining about being hot, but this year my husband is laughing at me as I bundle up in a sweatshirt ;0)

Down 82 lbs! (pics)
My heaviest weight was 225 right before I had my son. Today, I'm 143. My ultimate goal is 135, but I'm feeling pretty good right now! This was taken when I was around 205. I actually thought I looked OK when I got dressed.... This was tonight in Loft. The pants and shirt are both 8s. I also bought a size 6 skirt!!!! ETA:…

Shopping NSV!
We had an awesome downtown area with some really cute clothes boutiques. Needless to say they didn't carry clothes in my old size. One of my goals was to be able to shop in those stores. Today I was downtown and stopped into one on a whim. I tried on this cute dress in a Medium. It fit great and was on sale! I bought it ;0)

NSV - I'm not fat anymore
I can seriously say this now. My mom took pics over the holidays, and I didn't have to pose or suck in. I just looked fine in them. I tried on my swimsuits from the summer (20 lbs ago), and they're too big. I tried on my bikini, and I would totally walk down the beach in it without a cover up. This is a whole new world for…

Holiday Food NSV
I guess this is an NSV, but my stomach just can't handle holiday goodies like it used to. I went to a get together today, and I was ready! I ran 5 miles this morning and ate light because I wanted to indulge. I fixed a plate, that was not full by any means, and just could not physically eat any more. After that, I felt…

New Here
Hi Ladies, I read the description of your group, and it fit me to a tee. I've lost around 80 lbs since my pregnancy. I'm my healthy weight range, and I look pretty good in my clothes, so all I hear is: don't lose any more blah blah. I really want to lose about 10 more lbs and tone up. I look forward to getting to know you.…

PJ NSV
This time last year, my mom gave me a pair of PJ pants from Old Navy for xmas. They were an XL, and they were a bit tight. Yesterday, I bought a pair in a medium, and they're a little loose :0)

30 Day Shred ?
I'm thinking about buying 30DS, and I was wondering what equipment (weights,etc) I will need with it. TIA

Do you do a splurge day?
I'm fresh from WW and with the extra weekly points, I would always have one day where I ate more, like to go out to dinner or to a party. It worked out over the week, and I've always lost weight. I guess I'm just scared to do that here because there's no weekly points or calories to pull from. Which is dumb of me. I know…

Weekly Calories?
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this site, and I was wondering is there is a way to look at my week as a whole. I'm still WW minded, and my week goes Friday to Friday. I'd like to be able to see my calorie goal for the week and where I am at the end of that week. Does that make sense? My brain is fried. One day until winter…

So close and scared
I have about 10lbs to go until I get to goal, but honestly, at this point, I look and feel better than I have in a decade. I'm happy but I'm scared. I dream I wake up with all the weight back on.. (I did WW before this, so I've lost 80 in all) Maintenance is looming, and it's freaking me out. I know how to lose, but…
