Small Frame
So, according to the wrist measurement assessment of frame size, I have a small frame. How does this affect my overall goal weight? Should it be lower as I have a small frame? What are your thoughts? I'm 5'4" and 141 right now...my current goal is 125.

5K Success
On a whim, I signed up for a After Dark Dash 5K last Saturday with a friend of mine. I run a few times a week and usually do longer races (10Ks and half marathons). This was my first 5K and I was nervous because I don't do short distances!!! My previous PR, just running on my own, was around 33 minutes. I managed to beat…

Starting Weight- Pregnancy?
I was wondering if people put their highest weight as their starting weight, even if it was at the height of a pregancy. I guess it would make sense since you used to weigh that and you don't anymore, and it might make you feel a little more accomplished. Opinions?

Preggers- NOT.
SOMEONE ASKED ME HOW FAR ALONG I WAS TODAY. This happens at least twice a year. I HATE IT. (that's an understatement.) I'M ONLY 4 LBS OVERWEIGHT for my height. MY BMI IS 25. MY ARMS/LEGS ARE SKINNY; MY TUMMY IS NOT. This does not = PREGNANT. DOES NO ONE THINK BEFORE THEY SPEAK? EFF YOU.

Body Dysmorphia
I never considered myself to be a sufferer of body dysmorphia...I have read the Wikipedia article, and I don't think I qualify. I am happy most of the time; except when I have a bad day, then I look in the mirror, feeling disgusting and telling myself that I'll always be this fat. I am really trying to be healthy. However,…

30 day shred half way photos
I started 30 DS on 4/16 and I'm only halfway done due to running, yoga, car accident, overtime at work, etc. I hate these photos but there is a modicum of improvement in my back and boobs; otherwise I'm still striving for more noticeable change. I've lost 8.4lbs, 3" off my waist and one off my love handles. Hope the pics…

Fastest mile ever
When I started running semi-regularly last July, I was doing 14 minute miles. I wasn't really running so much as walking quickly lol. Then my very fit friend invited me to do a 10K race for Thanksgiving. I bit the bullet and kept training, and I made it in 73 minutes, around an 11:45/mi time. I was so surprised and…

Eating for two, right?
Ok this drives me freakin NUTS! I was ordering breakfast at my work cafeteria today and the generally nice cook was taking my order and joked that I couldn't order breakfast, to which I jokingly replied- but I'm hungry! And he said " I bet, cause you're eating for two right?" and I said "no." and stonewalled him for the…

I'm now at 150, trying to break back into the 120s by summer! I'm also training for a half marathon on 4/28. I'd love to kick the first 10 pounds by June,…
