  • Train for the full 3.1 miles so you will have the confidence in yourself and you'll know that you can definitely do it. I am not agreat runner. I'll never win but I always finish running. Set a time goal for yourself and try to hit that goal.....and oh yeah, if you're a girl, wear a pad so you don't pee your pants!…

  • I know exactly how you feel. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I can totally understand what you are going through about not being able to stop yourself. I have been on MFP for forty days. I have lost 9.5 lbs and I want to lose 11.5 more. AND I do not want to gain it back. I turned 50 this year and losing the weight…

  • Are you supposed to eat all of your exercise calories???? I thought this was the whole point of taking off weight. I have been trying not to eat my exercise points. On my running days I can burn about 550 calories too. Have I been doing this all wrong???

  • First of all love yourself! You are worth loving no matter what size. Next, you are losing weight for all the right reasons. I am a bigger girl. I have big legs and no matter how thin I get, my legs are still going to be bigger than the skinny-minnys. I accepted that I am not going to have a perfect body. That's what you…

  • Baked Ruffles, but you have to make sure you portion them. I have a little food scale and I weigh out my one ounce. It's my favorite snack!

  • Just keep at it! You can do it and you will feel so good about yourself. I know it's hard to make time for exercise when you have little ones but it's also the most important thing you can do for you!!! Keep plugging away at the running until you get back to where you were with it. The weight will be much easier to take…

  • Hey, I quit smoking 23 years ago. I was a pack a day smoker - more on the weekends. I was already overweight and I decided I wasn't going to gain any more, so I started exercising for the first time in my life. I started working out and walking. About 10 years later I started running and I have been running ever since. I…
