Hello everyone! My name is Angela and I joined SP in June 2009.

From January 2009 to December 2010, I managed to lose 52lbs with the help of SP! I just exercised regularly and ate in my recommended ranges, eating healthy, nutritious food. I kept it off for almost 3 years until life happened. I got a bad bought of food poisoning which turned into chronic IBS and some other health troubles which caused my weight o jump up to 230lbs, my heaviest ever.

In 2017, I got the help of a specialist and was able to finally turn the scale around. It is much harder this time around though, as I have extra factors to consider that I never had to before. I am losing slower this time, but still losing and enjoying life!

Feel free to message me or add me as a friend! I blog here regularly and also on my website thechickenscoop.net . Thanks for stopping by!

    The flowers and blossoms are filling the air with the smells of Spring. This is the time to start preparing for the Summer. Are you ready to join a Challenge? The Biggest Loser Challenge is looking for members for it’s next Challenge starting the first week of June. The challenge consists of 11 Teams, that participate in 10 weeks of Nutritional and Fitness Challenges. These challenges can be modified to fit individual needs, allowing members of all abilities and dietary needs to participate.

    Here are some of the members comments written on a Survey Monkey poll:

    “It helps me stay focused on my goals. It also keeps things interesting and not boring.”

    “I find that the challenges make me be more cognizant of my food intake, better choices etc. The fitness ones encourage me to try new exercises and to keep doing exercises. I think there is a good possibility I wouldnt do as much if I didnt track it for challenges or tried to do better on challenges”

    “My leaders are all wonderful...they stay in touch with team members and do their best to keep us involved and feeling a part of the team.”

    “They motivate me to eat healthier and to be more active. “

    If you would like to be a member of this challenge you can copy and paste the the link below, or click on my username and leave me a message or click on the BLUE BIGGEST LOSER Icon on my page. Join the team and sign up for the next challenge on the Spring Waitlist thread.

    Sounds like you have been super busy! I hope work slows down for you some and SOON!
    I think running by feel is a good option. I haven't run in forever, choosing other cardio options at the gym instead. Maybe this spring I'll get back to it. :)
    Hope you have a GREAT weekend away and a fun time at the race!

    I like the bike at the gym, good leg muscle workout, but I think I like the elliptical better.. adjust the resistance and change the heart rate easier, so you should be able to dial in exactly where you want to train. My co-worker who is a ultra runner, has an ankle/tendon injury, and the elliptical is perfect for her for reduced impact on that.. and she is using the ARC trainer at the higher 'stair step' like setting so she doesn't use that flex on the ankle.. I don't like the ARC as much as I can't get my heart rate high enough without feeling like I'm sprinting as fast as possible (no tension changes on the ARC only elevation change).
