RE: Biking and running question
I was just wondering if it is a good idea to ride a bike if you are trying to get better at running? I was just wondering because of the different muscles being worked out. I just have a cruiser bike that I love, but we don't have much flat ground around here, so I really work my legs out the first half of my rides. I…

Wow, Can't believe how many calories I burned.
I was doing some heavy duty gardening/ yard work today for hours and hours. Everything from cutting wood with a hand saw and making borders to using a manual hedge cutter to trim vines and raking up a bunch of stuff. :yawn: So I put it in for just 3 hours worth of time, and I burned over 800 Calories and I was trying to…

My husband saw my new shoes
Oh boy, I had no idea he would know the name of my new running shoes. Last week I bought a pair of Mizuno's, and I paid 100 for them. Today I left them in the living room after my run and when my husband got home he noticed them. Then he saw the name and just about freaked. He knew the name and knew they were not cheap…

Just a nice Milestone reached
OK, I reached 39 pounds to go. I was in the 40's for so long (even before MFP) that I feel this is a good accomplishement! Even though it is only 4 pounds since I started, it seems like more. And I finally got some pics back on the computer and posted some. No Pug as my main pic anymore, at least for now. SM

But any good suggestions on what to order that maybe I can get a lower calorie count.... And I hate mushrooms and Olives, Everything else…

Ate the Pizza.
Well I did pretty good I think. I didn't go over my calories eating pizza tonight. I had a lot of it also, but ordering it the way everyone said I think really helped. But you know after keeping the food to simpler items lately, it wasn't as good as I remembered it. I didn't like how full I felt when I ate as much as I…

measurements
OK, so after a couple of weeks here now, I decided to do some measurements. :grumble: Wow, that did not make me feel good. I am litterally a fat @$$. But at least I did it and added on a couple of measurements not on the list. Not what I was when I was a teenager. Can't wait to see those go down. Does anyone know about how…

OK, got first pair of running shoes. Now I have a question f
Beginning running again and I just went out and bought my first real pair of great running shoes ever! Paid the 100 bucks for them and tried on a lot of shoes and had two guys helping me. So now I run in the mornings, should I wear them the rest of the day to work in or just take them out for the run in the mornig?

Problem, Need help on good running shoe!
I have been using Sketchers biker shoes to run in because they do not hurt my feet. I know they do not give me the support I need, but the first time I put them on to run in they made a huge difference for me. But now I think maybe I am ready for real running shoes. Do you have an idea on a good pair? I have a little wide…

Help I cheated, and don't know the calories!
OK, so today is a holiday for me and visiting family. I went to the bar with my husband and my dad and had a couple of large Strawberry Margaritas. I have been so good until today, but I don't know how many calories are in one and because I drank them I don't know where to get the calorie counts. You think with a screen…

Really wanted to snack tonight!
Wanted to snack but I did great, I thought about it long and hard. I even grabbed a hand full of pretzel sticks and started to snack on them when I looked at the calories and put them back. I ate 2. But then I thought about it and grabbed myself a wonderful tomato and sliced it up and mmmmm, it hit the spot. It even had a…

Yeah, on day 5 or 6 and fianlly lost that 2 pound!
I was waiting for it to show on the scale, it toyed with me. Some mornings it would say I was less but then I like to make double sure and even triple sure and then it would come back. Officially this morning after 4 weigh ins in over a 2 hour time, it stayed away and with a .2 clearance! I know some people say you…

Yeah!! went way fast today
I was concerned about logging my jogging calories because I jogged so slow, well I fixed that today, I totally kicked but and was really running. I went about 3 miles in a half an hour and walked 1 mile. We had to walk the one mile because for some reason at the second mile our ears really started to hurt. Pressure change…

I know one morning soon it will be less. Anyway, I am going on vacation this weekend and tried on my bathing suit I bought last…

chicken gulosh under 300 calories
Of course you can change this up, but when you first make it you make a lot, about 7 servings. That makes it great for a hot meal anytime. I refer to stir fry, but you want to try not to use to much oil, so I tend to ad water to get it steamy a little and hot. cook 1 cup rice by itself. earlier if possible. Better if not…

Hazard of jogging. What to do when
Well I am always prepared with water, blistex and pepper spray when I go for a jog. But when a puppy follows you home what can you do. I tried not to pay any attention to it, but I think it knew I was a dog person and followed me and my daughter the last half of our jog home. It was so cute, jogged like a pro! Of course we…

Just thought I would mention since I was new yesterday that I changed my screen name today. Use to be DonnaStevens) I really like this site though. I feel like in only the two days I have been on here I am making real progress. I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow. Once I loose a pound I am putting a counter on my page.…

I usually like to just jog, but this morning I wasn't feeling like it, my body seemed a little soar and swollen. I did a lot yesturday including a 4 mile jog. So at 5 AM this morning I told my daughter that I wasn't going, but then I turned back around and told her I would give it a try. We jogged a little, but in total we…

Hi, I am new here and hope this is going to be Great!
I am not sure how this will read or what I am supposed to say but I guess I will start with what I hope will be an insparation to others and myself. In 2006 I finally got fit, I looked GREAT! But I was struck with cancer and during my struggle with that I gained back all of the weight I lost (50 pounds). I tried at first…
