Finished my first tri yesterday...
BEST. FEELING. EVER. Yesterday, I completed a low-key, fairly small tri as a way to practice and get some race experience for my 'A race' next month. Swim- 11:39 (300 m pool swim) We were in order by predicted swim time, so I was toward the end. I am not a fast swimmer, but my technique is improving all the time. Actually…

New here
Hi everyone! :flowerforyou: I have been lurking here for the last few days, and now I'm deciding to jump on in. I'm very active and looking to improve my body comp, and really working to get over that mental hump of eating more on a consistent basis. Gradually working my way up to the cals that NROLW wants me to be at…

Hi, new here...
...not to MFP, but to the Primal way of eating. So, hi. :flowerforyou: My name's Shuntae, and I'm 31 from MD. I don't have any specific health issues which make this way of eating an absolute necessity for me...but I do notice a distinct improvement in my overall feeling when I avoid bread, pasta, etc. For now, I am easing…

Sedentary vs Lightly Active -Help!
Background: I am basically at my goal weight, give or take a few pounds...at this point, I am mostly interested in becoming leaner. Currently, I am doing my first round of P90x as well as running 15+ miles per week. However, I also work a desk job which has me sitting on my *kitten* 8 hours per day. The way my P90x and…

My first REAL party dress!
First, let me say Happy New Year! Last night, my fiance and I went to a James Bond-themed NYE party...so of course, I had some dress shopping to do. Couldn't find much of anything I liked in the stores, so I ended up ordering it online from Forever 21 -which, for me, is a huge deal in itself. You see, when I was younger I…

From Couch to Half-Marathon
So, yesterday I ran the Baltimore Half-Marathon, which was also my first. The weather wasn't the greatest...it was drizzling in some areas, and fairly breezy, but I was beyond excited to get out there. After all, I had 3 1/2 months of training under my belt for the big day...and all I wanted was to finish in under three…

Suggestions for Coffee?
I am an occasional coffee drinker...and in said coffee, I normally use Splenda. It tastes fine and such, but I'm trying to cut out the fake sweeteners. I don't mind real sugar, but can anyone suggest any other natural sweeteners? Drinking it black isn't an option, because I hate it. I know that's as natural as it gets, but…

Just ran my first 5K!
Picture it...Columbia, MD 2009. Today I shook off the past demons of unhealthiness and inactivity and ran in my first race ever. Since I'm a newbie, my running is more for fun than competition...but it's such a rush to cross that finish line. I finished with a time of 34:43, and didn't have to walk at all (even where it…

For the first time ever...
I bought a pair of capri pants in a size 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's something I never thought I would see unless it was part of a double digit number. I've been working on the last 15 pounds since started MFP with my Black Team (:heart: y'all!) on Jan 1, 2009. It's taken me to this point to lose 14 of them, but in that time…
