I do think I need new running shoes. I think the shin hurting is from trying to run without shoes because I thought trying that would be better than my knee hurting. My knee didn't hurt with no shoes, but the blisters and shins sure do. I guess I am going to have to fork out the cash for some more shoes! Hopefully the…

This does help. I do warm up, but I don't stretch before I work out. I think I will start trying that to see if it helps. I do stretch afterwards for about 15-20 minutes. I do drink a lot of water, but not that much. I will also try adding more water. I LOVE LOVE milk and drink 3 cups every morning and would drink more if…

I have the same problem with iron. Since I started working out more, I have been getting weak and light headed during the work out. My biggest complaint is the all the time cold hands and feet and fatigue! I can fall asleep anytime anywhere if I got warm. I started taking the 65mg of iron last night. I drink a lot of milk…

Most of the time I don't eat back my calories from my treadmill. I have the same problem that it over inflates the amount of calorie burn. I usually subtract at least 200 calories from the treadmill amount that it tells me and I don't log the 10 min trainer videos I do at all. The reason I don't eat the calories back is…

I know the feeling...got upset over some donuts yesterday. I did exercise and came in under, but now I realize don't get so upset over one day. Do you weigh every day? I would think your weight will change up and down (like one post said sodium and water weight) if you weigh every day and you may feel like you aren't…

I am 5'10.5" and my current weight is 160. I think 150 is where I would like to be. More than the scale, like others, I would like to be toned and fit. I am working for summer!

I started back a few weeks ago. I think I may have pushed it too hard. I was walking at 4.5 and running between 7-8 on an incline of at least 1. I have some right knee soreness and have added strength training to my workouts. Do you think if I slow it down it will help? I don't want to go without running and have to start…

Thanks for all the advice. I did get up and go exercise. NOT because of the donuts calories but because of the way I felt. Feel A LOT better after exercising and the exercise did take up most of the donuts calories. I think I had panic because I was trying to change my eating habits and donuts are so high in sugar. Two was…

Oh, my favorite. :) Now i want a long john, lol. We have a little bakery in the town where I'm from that makes the best long johns in the world.[/quote] I got them from a little bakery here and I absolutely love them! Hence the cave, but after the replies, I am not as worried. Thanks!

Not jam filled...chocolate long johns...:( My kids wanted them this morning so I got some for them and they didn't eat them all...

Trying to eat healthy, cut back on sugar, and lose about 10 lbs. I have only consistently logged for 10 days and have been doing so well. Will it mess up the loss of 1 lb a week because I know I will be over for the day.

Thanks for the replies. No I am not depressed. I am a special education teacher, wife and mother of 2. I seem to be very busy during the day and don't really think about food a lot. I have made my diary public if anyone wants to look at it to help. I don't know that the exercise calories are 100% accurate because I am…

Have you been to the doctor to ask? Sometimes after a pregnancy things change in your body. You said that have thyroid issues, do you know if you have a gluten intolerance or some other type of issue that may be keeping the pounds from coming off? This happened with my sister and after she found she had an intolerance to…

Will definitely try some of these! I think this helps a lot!

I think that would be a great idea. Do you just walk it, or do you run?

I haven't tried the preset programs on the treadmill. Should I do a preset program on the days I am not doing C25K or just do something totally not treadmill?

Never heard of that, but I do not have internet access at home. I will have to look into it.
