I don't want to eat that, I'm fat
When I started trying to lose weight I would talk about it in front of my children to my husband. I would say things like i am fat, i gained too much weight, I want to be thin again, blah blah blah. My kids were in the back seat doing what children do, listening. I didn't say, I want to get healthy, I want to run a 5k, I…

Dinner Studio - WOOHOO!
I hate cooking! HATE IT! My in laws amaze me because this is an activity they enjoy and enjoy doing together (unlike other activities, which I know all about because darnit if they don't share just a little too much). When I do cook I tend to go overboard making this hugemongis meals that leave us with bowls and bowls of…

Beach Running - what goes on my feet?
My coworkers have convinced me that if I run on the beach I will improve my time on pavement. I know I need to go slower on the beach, and I know it is going to hurt at first. I am going to start by running no more than 5 minutes on the dry than move to the wet sand for five. Back and forth. So what do I put on my feet? I…

Trying to build a team for the Mermaid 5K next month in San Diego. Thought it would be cute to get seven ladies together and we could all wear shirts with the names of Ariel and her sisters. (I'm a disney dork) Anyone interested? www.mermaidtriathlon.com

Weekend Warrior Group!
Come on who wants to start a weekend warrior group with me? Anyone having trouble with the weekends? Do you not even think about MFP when Friday evening comes around? I am going to commit to logging into MFP at least four times each day on the weekend, that way I am forced to count my calories. I am not only going to go…

Diet Funk!
I still run but I don't do any other workouts. I am not counting my calories as well as I used to. I do great during the day, but as soon as I get home I give up. I am not gaining weight, but also not losing. This isn't a plateau, this is me giving up. I need to get motivated again. I don't know how to turn that switch…

Went from a 39 minute 5k to 31:53!
I know I should just say it was a 32 minute 5k, but I can't! Its like when something is on sale for $4.99 instead of $5! $4.99 sounds better and 31:53 ROCKS! I have done one 5k a month starting in October, each month my time has improved! I have my first 10k next month and am shooting for 66 minutes! In September I didn't…

Christmas Party! Here I come!
Last year was horrible. There were tears when I was shopping for the Christmas dress for my husbands party. This year I can't wait! I have been on MFP for three months now and have lost 18 pounds. However, last year I was pushing the 190 mark so to be at 153 this year is a huge accomplishment. I put on last years dress and…

Wanna run a 10K with me? - San Diego
I am doing a 10K on Thanksgiving. Anyone want to join me? I am on average a 12 minute mile runner. Anyone? http://www.kathyloperevents.com/hungry/

Shaved 5 minutes from my 5k!
They didn't time us with chips, it was timed by when we crossed the finish line. Which means if you started in the front this ir probably accurate. If you started near the back (like I did) this time is slightly off. I did better than my "official time"! I felt great! I am thinking about doing a 10k for thanksgiving…

Insanity
Starting Insanity tonight. I heard it can be poo on the knees. I am nervous about that. The guy who loaned it to me told me he doesn't know anyone who has been able to finish it or even last longer than a week. Can't wait for January when I can do a happy dance and tell him I was successful!

It was so much fun! Everyone was in costume. Couldn't believe when I was at the mile mark and people were already heading back to the finish! I did it in 39:34 and only fell down once!!!

What stretches good for after run?
I have my list of dynamic stretches for before the run, thanks to http://runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-287--13442-0,00.html. What is good for after a run? Runners World recommends static for after, so if I just do the stretching from the end of one of Jillian Michaels dvds will that work? I am only running 3 miles…

Running advice... Well what I do is more like a slow jog/stu
I finally got to the point where I can run a mile and a half without stopping. Albeit, the mile and a half takes me 19 minutes to complete, I still complete it. I am trying to run a mile a half 6 days a week and am trying to get in an extra 1.5 after work with the family at least 2 times a week. On the 23rd is my 5k which…

Thank you Dominos Pizza
Now I know that Dominos isn't going to really help me in the weight loss category, but we are having it for lunch at work and I will have a slice. Pizza is always hard for me to figure calories on, too much adding. So I went to dominos website and they have an awesome tool that will count the calories from a pizza you…

Positive resutls of working out
Aside from the obvious, toning body and losing weight do you see any positive results from working out? I DO! My favorite is my pores, oh my goodness they are sooo clean! Saving money on facials, I will just sweat out the grime for 40 minutes! Sorry about the typo in the topic section... oops.

San Diego Trail Run this Weekend
Putting it out early so people can plan. Anyone interested in meeting up at 10am on Sunday to do a trail run/walk in Balboa Park? I am a very beginner runner, but all levels are welcome. This is the trail I was thinking about. I have never done it and am open to other locations, just looking for something easy to start…

I want potato chips!
Any recommendations that allow me to eat more than 6 chips that won't go crazy on calories? I LOVE chips!

To Thai or not to Thai
My friend wants to go to a Thai restaraunt today and I already told her I would but that was pre MFP. So now I am stuck. I want to go since I already said yes but I can't find anything about the calories for thai food!!! I am thinking of getting the scallop lad prik - scallops roasted with fresh chili, garlic and a spcial…

It has been so long since I actually did something that made me sweaty outside of the bedroom and I feel great! http://www.exercisetv.tv/workout-videos/cardio/fighting-the-freshman-15-9493 This website is awesome! Those of you that do P90x probably will probably laugh at this, but its a start. My goal is to be able to…

Second Day and Excited/hungry/apprehensive
Just started yesterday. I have tried counting calories before and did really well, I even have an awesome weight scale. My biggest problem is finding extra hours in the day. I need to learn to plan my meals for the week and do all of my shopping on Sunday. Today I have nothing planned, and nothing in the house that is…
