In one word - I am an Unquenchable Optimistic!!
Im a phd student and have been traineoing for the past 8 months! I am in love with HIIT, dark chocolate, green tea and falling in love with more through this site!
Training for my first 5K in July.
I am doing my first walk marathon ( Avon walk for breast cancer- total 39 miles) this fall and have begun training for it. I am actively fundraising for this event. If you would like to donate to my walk, please feel free to contact me!

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

good information, Jen.
Now, I do feel the power of incorporate protein in each meal. It has proved to help me to lose weight. I am still in learning mode. Not easy to get rid of the old eating habit.
A lot of science to lose fat and gain muscle!

Is it really true you can't gain muscle and loose fat at the same time? I hadn't heard that one before. Interesting ...

You're right alexa, it isn't impossible! Someone else in the comments on that blog also made the remark. The part in the post has been updated as well.
To clarify: it isn't impossible, but it's more difficult.
It's indeed a good idea to take what you like and leave the rest. It's not a 16 rules break-or-fail program!

Quoting: alexa Is it really true you can't gain muscle and loose fat at the same time?
Nope that is not true. Over the past 3 months, I've gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 20 lbs of fat. That statement flagged my attention too.
Thanks for the article Jenn!

I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.
I'm losing weight for my health, energy, and for my friend's wedding so no one mistakes me for Ms. Piggy's sister.

Starchy carbohydrates also include potatoes and corn. Neither of those would I consider "good" carbohydrates. Starch is usually the enemy in terms of blood sugar control. Since when was oatmeal considered a starch anyway? If I boil oatmeal I don't get a starchy foam. Does anyone else?
And the obvious fact that it's quite easy to gain muscle and lose fat, when your diet and exercise is correct. She did put a note on that blurb.
Overall though, a nice simple overview!

6 months of Hard Training down. Starting to diet to drop some of the fat I gained going from 180 to 195. Will post more pics when finished :)

I gained 19lbs of muscle and lost 6lbs of fat. Gota eat right, and workout right but its possible. Too many people over eat and eat junk when trying to gain muscle weight and thus gain both fat and muscle.
I'd rather gain a little slower than to put an extra 1lb or more of fat on a week to make sure i'm gaining muscle. In the end IMHO you look/feel better and when you are done trying to put it on, you then don't have to try as hard to take it off

A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now. Revised fitness plan: -some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat -some weight training, some pilates -I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times!
I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary.
The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force.
To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done.
Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.
