Muffin Top
I am SO happy with everything about my body. Accept my middle. I don't get it. I feel like I'm working really hard, especially with my diet, but I'm not seeing a change. I lost weight quickly after I had my daughter but can't seem to shake this middle fat. Anyone been there? Any special tips?

4.68 miles - with best motivation I've found...
Tonight I ran 4.68 miles. It's the farthest I've run in two years. And I ran it in under 11 minute miles. The fastest I've run in two years. How did I do it? I started out for a 3 mile run at 14 minute miles. Then I decided to try and catch my husband and son as they left his gymnastics class. I knew the class was over at…

Blah! Can't believe I'm back here!
I lost 30 pounds after having my second baby four years ago, and now I'm back and need to lose 10 pounds to get back to my goal weight. This time, it's not just about the weight, but about getting some ripped abs to go with it.

in my pre-baby jeans!
This is my first day back to fitness pal in a few months and also my first day in my size 10 pre-baby jeans!!! I'm so happy! Hooray!

epic bike ride
Totally went on a 45 mile bike ride Saturday. My farthest ride before that was 35 miles last September. This season I've only been doing 10 mile loops each Saturday. The ride was amazing. I went with my hubby and we had a blast. I couldn't walk for two days after but it was totally worth it. We forded a river, took our…

hiking
I'm hiking this weekend. A lot of people have posted that this is amazing exercise and burns tons of calories and it couldn't be more true. I burned over 3000 calories on my last hike (7.5 miles over 6 hours with my four year old, baby, and husband carrying a pack) and it was so much fun! Keep hydrated and eat lots! How…

i admit it. I fell off the bus.
I've not been to MFP in weeks. I've lurked a little on the forum, but I haven't been logging my food, only my VERY occasional exercise. And I'm gaining the weight back. :ohwell: I don't know what happened. I guess I just got lazy and busy at the same time. I'm not gaining a lot, in fact, I don't REALLY know if I'm gaining…

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
I'm doing it in DC this coming May!!! It's a 40 mile walk and it's not for the faint of heart! Lots of hills! I tried it before I got pregnant want my daughter and only made it 22 miles, then I had to go home because I killed myself :laugh: This year, I'd like to do the entire thing. I have to raise 1800 bucks to do it. If…

longest ride ever!
I rode 35 miles on my bike today!!!! It was a huge accomplishment for me. The farthest I've gone before is 18 miles. :bigsmile: I am in pain. :laugh:

365 calories left - negative 33 carbs.
Now what? I ran 2.2 miles this evening, and I'm slow so it took me about 30 minutes. I didn't eat all of my calories to begin with (I recently was prompted to change my goals and whatnot, and I did that, so I have some more calories to work with than I'm used to) - but I didn't expect my homemade wheat bread to be quite…

wHOO HOO!!!
This morning I put on my old SIZE 12 JEANS!!! I know that's not a huge deal to some people, but to me it is enormous!!!! I have been in the 14's for a really flippin' long time and I was talking to my husband this morning about how I was so frustrated and I just said I was going to try them on and I did and they fit!!!!
-
so I have 300 some calories left...
And I'm really not hungry. Am I screwing myself over not to eat them? I walked for 2 hours with my son tonight (he's only 3 and a half, so it wasn't that brisk).
-
is it bad...
That I didn't want to put my weight in today? I lost 2 pounds since last check-in, but I have been at this weight before and I don't want to put it in because I don't want to be disappointed if next week I step on the scale and it's back up to what it was before. Is that messed up or what?
-
money sucks.
Yeah. Just balanced the checking account and we have like 5 bucks left. Hate it.
-
what happens when you finish?
I know this is totally jumping the gun, but it's been on my mind so I want to ask so I can stop stressing about it. What happens when you have met your goal here? Do you just sort of drop off the planet and you are done? Do you keep the calorie deficit or change it? When you've lost a little weight do you go in and change…

H2O + grazing.
Working on starting a new habit of drinking all of my water + some and eating six meals instead of three. Yesterday I did it and feel better today!!! Already at cup 3 of water and having my second meal. Wish me luck!!!

I officially declare Friday, August 8, 2008 - detox day!
I've been reading a lot about getting your body to feel better and de-stressing and de-toxing sounds like a really good plan for a lot of us. It's good to de-tox at LEAST once a year and do some minimal detoxing stuff once a week. Here are some things to do to de-toxify your body on this day: Drink only water and green…

MFP Tri 8/6
Didn't get a run in last night because I'm the week before the play I'm in and we're rehearsing like mad - lots of choreography so I think I'm keeping my cardio up just fine. This weekend I'll do at least 3 miles running and 13 miles biking - maybe 23 miles biking because my husband is training some kids to do a 30 mile…

Mrs. T's pierogies are my friends.
I am having 5. 180 calories in 3. 34 carbs in 3. Freakin' awesome for me at this point.

H2O
So people have been telling me I need to be drinking more water. 8 glasses today!!! Woot! And it's only 3:30 - I plan to run tonight so I'll need more hydration then. I'm hoping this helps with my weirdo gaining weight backness. ....sure am peeing a lot.... :tongue:
-
just about ready to throw in the towel.
So I weighed in this morning - my normal day to weigh in (Tuesday), and I had gained another pound. I started at 160. I had gotten down to 153 and now I am back up to 155. This is over the course of two weeks. I know two pounds isn't a lot. But I'm really discouraged. I'm a little hungry most of the time and I've been…

MFP Tri 8/5
Doing a 3.1 mile run today. GOTTA do it!!!
-
DUDE I am SOOOOOOOOO hungry today!!!!!
I have my calorie intake basically worked out since I've been doing this awhile now, but today I had my normal breakfast and now I'm STARVING!!! I ate most of my exercise calories yesterday, I had about 200 left but only 1 carb so I just went to bed. I had oatmeal for breakfast as usual. Now I want a snack DESPERATELY and…

MFP Tri 8/4
Today's a rest day. Sticking to the diet, drinking lots of water. Found a tri club in the area, hopefully joining in January because that's when their dues start over - they do lots of open water training and have runs together once a week.
-
MFP Tri 8/3
Just got back from a 10 mile bike ride - averaged 12.8 mph - that's the best I've ever done!!! I'm going for 13 miles at the same speed next weekend. Hoping to hit the pool tomorrow - if not, it's back to the road with the running shoes.
-
MFP Tri 8/2
Getting on late today - ran 3 miles tonight with the hubby. Good times. Going biking tomorrow - trying to do more than 10 miles.
-
MFP Tri 8/1
Ran 1.2 miles last night - all interval work - sprinting awhile, then walking, etc. Did a light job the last quarter mile or so back home. Still missing my swimsuit so I'll be running again tonight. Got a cycle trip planned for tomorrow morning. Gonna try and break the 10 miles and maybe to 12 or so. Hope everyone's doing…
-
MFP Tri 7/30
Hey all. Got in a 2 mile run last night and looking to do another tonight. Still working up to everything. Lost my suit at a campground this weekend so no swimming for a few days unless I can squeeze myself into my old Speedo - probably not. I'm not letting myself get a new one until all the weight is off. Planning a ride…
-
MFP Tri?
So I tried to start a swimming one of these and basically found out that most swimmers on the site are like me - triathletes who swim two or three times a week. I've also found that there seem to be a lot of tri people out there, so I figured even though I haven't even ever done a race, that's what I'm training for and we…
-
sigh. Gained a pound back.
So after dealing with my grandmother's funeral I got home and did two days of exercise but then we went to Cycle Across Maryland. My husband participated and I stayed in the cabin and watched the kids - so I was pretty much sedate the entire time. I was also there with a friend who is overweight who mostly talked about how…
