I just started really doing the my fitness pal, I'm so sick of not liking what I see in the mirror and nothing fitting, and just having a bad body image overall. I am in need of some motivation, since I'm having a hard time adding "being healthy" to my long list between, college, work, keeping some kind of social life, etc. I'm open to making some good friends so add me! :wink:

    That is one of the goals I would like to achieve by the end of summer is to run my first 5K. I was a soccer player for about 15 years of my life, and now that I haven't played in competitive mode, I'm wondering how I ever used to just run. Whats the key to starting???

    I started with a 15min walk and built it up from there really. I've done 2mins walking at 6kmh and then 2mins running at 8kmh and built it up...
