ROFL - probably something that would happen to me!

Like other said it depends on you and how much you will use it. I have a treadmill at home and have been running and using DVDs for my exercise. Since I had surgery and wont be able to do some of that for a while I am going to join a guy because I cant afford to buy an elliptical and a bike too lol or a pool :)

If I can start running in March I am hopeful to be able to make it for my first big race of the year 20k dam to dam. Then will do a 1/2 marathon in MN - the woman's runners one! Also do the des moines full marathon in October!! Probably a few 5k and 10k along the way!

For me its the joy and running and accomplishing what I have accomplished. You will feel so incredible for what you have done and that makes it all worth it. I do listen to music when I run solo though. Find a running friend too!

Have you been stretching and rolling after you are doing your running? It will help to keep that from being so sore. Compression is so good way to help that as well and biofreeze is your friend :) As for a good training plan check runners world or higedon or galloway all have great plans. Good luck to you :) Cant wait to…

Possibly - sometimes your body gets used to what you are doing and you need to mix it up a bit. Maybe do some bike or swimming and some a little more intense cardio.

Well its in September so honestly you have a lot of time to prepare. My training schedule I used for my first half started in June. So anything you are doing now you will just be able to build on. Most training schedules have you working on endurance and speed together. It varies by day. You can do Bart Yasso's 800 to…

I do this and I am 43 - well I am on hiatus thanks to surgery. I didnt start exercising until about 2 years ago so I am sure it would be no problem for you. It's based on what you can do. You push yourself to do more and want to do more to see yourself improve. I made it 4 weeks and could really see an improvement. I dont…

My fitness coach the first one is the one I started with and still use to this day!! Love it!! I also have used all the EA Sports Active ones as well. I bought Zumba but havent tried it yet. I didnt like the biggest loser ones really. I also had the golds gym and it was ok but not a favorite.

I feel your pain. I had surgergy about a month ago to have my bunion removed. I can finally start doing some walking of sorts but it's hard to do and I cant walk normal or put full weight. I havent been able to do much and what i have done is mostly ab work and push ups and such. Will be happy when I can get back to…

I reached my goal over a year and half ago. I used a different program to log my calories every day . Over the summer some things changed and I didnt do it like i was before. The results 10 - 15 lbs weight gain. I am back to logging every day. I thought I was eating OK but I wasnt tracking like I should have so for me I…

Not for me! lol I went from a dd to a b so mine was mostly fat and they arent as shapely as they were but thats ok :) I am older though too!

I agree - it's your choice - I have thought about doing the same thing - I reached my goal but put about 10 - 15 lbs back on over the summer and am back on a diet to get them back off - so not sure - maybe adding a second one? Can you do that?

That is my question - that i would have expected it over the summer but not now unless it's "catching" up to me. I use lose it app on my phone and have been logging everything over the lsat month and am not seeing it there too. I would think muscle too but my tummy is showing a gain for sure - I know I have been bloated…

Anyone else have any insight?

not me! Big issue for me!

Well its never a great option but you can make it work if you want to - pick the healthier choices - grilled chicken and salads.

Personally I only weigh once a week at the same time and the same way! I dont really like my scale too well though so I wouldnt recommend it.

Thats what I am thinking too - trying one of those programs. The reason I have avoided the p90x is the chin up bar - I dont have anywhere to put it really. So if its essential to the rest of the workouts to work then it doesnt make sense. I thought about the turbo fire and there is another like the p90x that isnt as…

I do the crystal light -they have so many flavors. Or I have used that MiO

I think the clothes look amazing - there is a pair of shorts I wanted lol I ddn't buy them though. Just can't bring myself to spend $50 for a pair of shorts!

I have days where it feels like a chore that I have to get done but then there are the days that I realize that this is the best thing and I do enjoy it! I even have fun with it - start doing boxing moves or doing a little jig along the way lol Maybe I am just crazy :)

I found out about 6 months ago about mine. My dr tested me for it when I thought I was going through pre-menopause. Tired all the time - freezing - losing hair and bad nails. Those were the bulk of my issues. Luckily it never affected my weight loss. I started on meds and they seem to help keep my levels in check though I…

It did come up for raking lawn on the fitness pal site!

I don't eat back what I burn when I run. I ran 10 miles on Sunday which is about 950 calories for me. I did allow myself a little more calories and protein to help rebuild my muscles!

My fitness coach is one I use at least twice a week and have been using it for probably a y ear now!

I do! I get up and get my work out clothes on and work out and then shower and get ready for work! Even on the weekends I do this!

I agree that it's like a balloon that doesnt really stretch back like it should. Some people do get luckier than others - me I waited too long to lose the weight. I wish I wouldn't but it is what it is. I will probably always have this "problem" unless I have surgery. Of course I still love the way I look now more than I…

Cool but nothing in my size! I tried looking for my beginning weight too
