  • I started C25k at age 52 and have been running ever since. I built up to 5 miles slowly, got injured, and started over. I switched to a different plan - the Runners World Buds Coates system and, personally, thought it was easier. I bought a cheap iron man watch for interval timing. I'm not a natural runner.

  • I'm 60. Yes I said it out loud! I remember back when I was a teenager in the 70s I was one of the very few chubby girls in my high school and I went to a really large high school.

  • I feel your pain. My husband is a big eater and loves BBQ joints. I love to eat too and try to just portion control. And my mother, who has never been overweight, says if she eats a lot at one meal, she eats less at the next meal and if she eats a lot one day, the next day she eats like a bird. She is VERY disciplined.…

  • I have a beautiful 25-year-old niece who is obese. She's tried dieting but when the diet is over the weight comes back plus more. We've all been there. I struggled my whole life with my weight until I realized the ugly truth is that you basically have to diet and exercise the rest of your life if you want to maintain your…
  • I hate when apps do that. It's so discouraging. Congrats on your achievement. That's awesome!
