Anyone doing Sugar Busters or eliminating sugar from diet?
Hello MFP, For the past 3 weeks I have been consciously eliminating sugar (except for fruits...natural sugar is fine) from my diet, as well as grains. I have noticed that I have slimmed down enough that my clothes are fitting ALOT better! I didn't weigh myself before starting but I am thinking I will continue doing this…

Music Bpm for running?
Hello, I am trying to create a mix of music so that I can start running again. My goal is to run 5.0 mph so I would like to find music to help me stay at that pace. Does anyone know how many bpm (beats per minute) I should seek in my music? A number range would be helpful (ex. 135 bpm). Thanks.

Late Night Food Craving...it took me over!
So for the past 2 nights, I have been craving some kind of huge burger. I fought off the temptation last night by eating an orange...but tonight, I just couldn't help myself! I haven't had McDonald's in about 2.5 months and I actually vowed that I would never eat their food again because of some YouTube Videos I viewed a…

NSV: Size 14 Jeans!
I just wanted to share that yesterday I decided to go to Target just so that I could try on some jeans. I picked up a size 14, not sure how they would look on me. Honestly, I was thinking that it would be a good measurement for how much more I need to lose in order to fit into a size 14 again. I picked up the relaxed fit…

ChaLEAN Xtreme & 30 Day Shred Hybrid?!?
So I am half way done with CLX (just started week 3 of Push) :happy: and I am interested in trying 30 Day Shred. I was thinking that maybe I could do the 30DS on the days that I do not lift with CLX. I don't want to overdo my body, so maybe I could do light weights with 30DS (for more of a circuit training/cardio effect)…

Anybody from Memphis, TN?
I used to live in Memphis and moved away exactly a year ago. I only stayed there for 2.5 years but I ended up loving the people, the culture, and the non-profit organizations there. But one thing that was always heavy on my heart was the Memphis City Schools. I volunteered in the schools for 2 years and loved the…

Do you blog?
I was wondering if anyone else blogs about their weight loss journey or even just about life in general? I love reading blogs for encouragement and motivation. If you have one and don't mind sharing it, would you post it here. My blog is at http://sweetandsaltysurrender.blogspot.com Thanks.

I finally did it...I ran for 20 minutes straight!
It feels so good to finally have accomplished this goal as I am making my way through the c25k running plan. This was the hardest part of the plan as I had not had any problems on any of the other days. The first time I attempted, I ran 17 minutes...the second time, I did 15 minutes. Today, I was determined to run all 20…

c25k's 20 min run...HELP!
So I have been doing the c25k running plan with no problems...up until this point. I attempted the first longer distance run on Wednesday and did 17 mins. I am not complaining b/c it is much more than I was doing. I figured I would try it again today...only to do 15 minutes! I am not going to give up...I AM NOT A QUITTER,…

I'm in ONEderland today!
I never want to see the number "2" as my first number on the scale EVER again! I am a tall girl (5ft 10.5 in) and had kind of resolved that I will always be in or near the 200's. So this is a major accomplishment for me to persevere this far. It has taken me forever to get in the 100's again...and since I am here, I am…
