Hi! I'm Dawn. I'm a 38 year,menopausal mom of 4 currently living in Tennessee. I work 2 jobs and am getting ready to run my first 5K!! I have been on MFP a little over a year. Hit a rough patch and stopped logging on but I am 100% committed to daily logging and exercising and cheering on my MFP friends. Feel free to add me…

Im also starting up again. Feel free to add me!

Good luck to you! I understand the nearing 40, that will be me next year. Feel free to add me if you're looking for support.

I thought i was alone on the whole losing weight but belly looks worse. I have read losing weight in ab area comes from cutting down on fat which obviously is being done and cutting back on white bread and pastas. I have started doing ab work outs every other day. I've noticed on some weight loss shows some people have to…

Welcome! There are so many ways to get started. If your game jump in with both feet. Lots of fruits and veggies,lean proteins and water. Nuts are really good and filling as well. For working out try things you enjoy that's whatvhelps me to keep going. I foindbinwad getting to bored on treadmill and elliptical so I started…

How moving! Thank you for sharing.

Hey guys! Its awesome a few of you are still running!!!! One day I will get back to it. I still have pain if I or anyone touches my shins. And investing $100 in new gym shoes isnt an option right now. Baseball and soccer season eats up all my money. I still do zumba and have tried Turbo kick. Good luck on your runs :)

Happy Thursday ladies!

Awesome! I am doing C to 5K too. Well should say was. Major shin issues so I've taken 2 weeks off. I was on week 4. Good luck to you!

I have read in a few different posts where people say after a big burn they next day the scale goes up. Espically runners. You said you ate all your calories, were you able to eat back some of the 1,888 you burned? I know a lot of people say that is really important. Good luck and stay strong.

Are you sure your getting enough calories? I know a hard thing to think you may have to eat more to lose, but it is true. I had to up my calories to 1,500. I am still working on eating back work out calories. Stay strong and take one day at a time. You can do it.

Way to go! Keep it up!!!!

I know Alex is from New Zeland and Charolette from England.... Melissa not sure where you are from.... Anyway I felt bad I post my inspirations later on Thursday and your day is half over already so I decided to post Thursdays now. It's only 9:45 pm here in Nashville and I checked my world clock and New Zeland is half a…

I added you and will help out! Stay strong. You can do this!!!!

Hey ladies. Glad to see some of you are still running. I HOPE to be back running next week. I think I may start up with week 3 again. Most of my pains are gone. Hope they stay away. Have a great day! Oh and sorry I forgot to post my Inspiration on Thursday. Won't forget this week. :)

Welcome. I joined in January and love it. Feel free to add me if you need some encourgement and or motivation.

Welcome. Feel free to add me. I will help motivate you :)

After much thought I am so sad to say I am going to take about 2 weeks off from C to 5K. All my pains are getting worse :( I will try and stick with Zumba and not jump and the ellptical and maybe slow walking and see if this clears up. I will still post on Thursday and check in to seee how everyone is doing.

Hi. I'm Dawn 37 and have been in menopuase for almost 4 years. I do see that is much harder to lose weight after or around menopause but it is POSSIBLE. Stick with it. Here is a group I found and joined. Maybe this can help too. And feel free to add me.…

Sorry I got this up so late.

Well that would move me right along as well. :wink: Am I the only treadmill runner????

*amammaa is just my funny way of saying a mom of 4 :) call me Dawn .

I did week 4 Day 1 today. It wasnt too bad. It seems day 2 of each week is my easiest so looking forward to Wednesdays run. Have a great week everyone!

Just finished week3. I can't wait to go to the runners store to be evaluated for what kind of shoes I need. I am tired of icing for an hour and still being in pain. I won't give up tho!

Sorry to hear about your sister. Hope she starts feeling better soon!!!!!

THURSDAY INSPIRATION!

Hi. Im 5'0" I have a little more to lose than you . I have set my inital goal at 130 yet I eventually will aim for the 120's. Feel free to add me and check diary and such. Have been having a bit of trouble getting in enough calories though. Who would have thought I'd ever say that :)
