Dilemma: Insanity and 1/2 marathon
Alright, need some help deciding what to do. I have a 1/2 marathon on May 6th and I have been kinda training for it- yes, I've been lazy when it comes to distance. I did a full marathon in January and I'm just a little burnt out. I'm still jogging/walking and I have no doubt that I can go through 13.1 miles, doing…

Representing MFP!-San Diego (w pic)
Just thought you might want to see some of your MFP friends kicking butt at the Mermaid run today! None of us were runners when we started our individual weight loss journey but we sure ran today! We also didn't know each other but have become friends now! There is a combined total loss of 73 lbs just in this little group!…

No more shoulder fat! (w/pics)
In June of 2011 I was horrified to see pictures of my cruise. They were not good. In particular I noticed even my shoulders had fat! Devastating! I joined a gym/personal trainer program but didn't see results. Then i got introduced to MFP! Here I am (same shirt as the cruise) 6 weeks in (mid October) Look! it's loose in…

Backpack suggestions???
I am taking advantage of only living a couple miles from work and trying to walk back and forth instead of drive. Only problem is I gotta carry everything with me (obviously). Any hikers/ runners have ideas for a good back pack? Just need it for my clothes and lunch (maybe 10 lbs max), but supportive enough that I can…

Be careful what you wish for!
So I recently hit 14 lbs down and had bought some new clothes on Black Friday so you can actually see that I've lost some weight. (yay size 10! woo hoo!). As a result I've been somewhat waiting for my 2 male room mates to say something along the lines of "Hey- you've lost weight" or "huh- you are almost attractive"...…

I Have Shorts!
This morning, inspired by some posts from others about clothes they had outshrunk and were throwing away and hitting 12 lbs lost, I just for fun dug out my size 10 pile of pants- and they fit! Just doubled my pants wardrobe! Then I remembered these size 10 shorts that just a month ago even I couldn't get near buttoning…

My 30-day-versary-some sappy thoughts
I've been on MFP for one month and have lost 5 lbs- the healthy way! Often we are told that the best kind of success and the truly incredible stories are the "me against the world" or "one man army" version. While these lone ventures can be great accomplishments, I think they also have become perhaps an unrealistic-and…

Could it be??
It seems I may have said goodbye to the 170s??? WWWHHHHAAAT? I've gotten to 170 and then gone back up a pound quite a few times. But yesterday that sneaky scale slipped down to 169.6. I didn't want to believe it- so after my double take I backed slowly out of the room trying not to get too excited for fear that it might go…
