You should run 3x a week. Try to mix up with spin and kickboxing. Add maybe the NTC workouts from Nike Training Club app or online. You can also add either a bootcamp or mix up some Shred(Jillian Michaels) or Insanity/P90X exercises. I'm slowly seeing my middle get smaller from the mix. When I was just running/walking and…

I have a very small group of friends on here, but each is amazingly supportive. I try to do the same for each of them as well. IF you are new, are looking to make a long-term lifestyle change and are willing to also support others as they support you-feel free to add me. Good luck to each and everyone of us.

I wea a sports bra and a sleeveless cotton shirt that is not tight(breathable). It allows me to wick the moisture if I cannot get it with the towel. Even if my body were taunt-I still would not wear a sports bra w/out appropriate cover. I think it is just plain tacky.

I plug in my pandora, headphones and then run for 4 songs. I am trying to run nonstop outdoors for 3.2miles. On treadmill, I can run 3 miles without a struggle.

Oh my goodness-you look amazing! Fantastic job...totally in awe!

I did my first 5k last week, Saturday. I turned on my pandora, my c25k app and followed it. I was told that I needed to pace myself and go very very slow in my pace that way I could finish w/out hurting for a week thereafter. Good luck to you. I wish you a successful and injury-free run. :)

I don't want to spend too much, so what I do (I have DD's) is: Regular underwire bra plus a Champion sports bra from Target over. This solves my problem wonderfully! Good luck.

Evening-so what dates are we looking at? I will be out of country at end of the month in May. Mid-May works really well for me.

I am game for a lap or two of Lake Calhoun. I will be there tomorrow. Would anyone be interested in joining me?

I am doing the C25K app. I am on Week 5. As there is only 21 days left in May, I will opt to do 2 miles a day. That equals a total of: 42 miles for May. Thanks for the challenge!

I am done with Week 2. Moving on to Week 3.

I have curly frizzy hair. I use conditioner on my ends only. I use a wide tooth comb to gently untangle hair. I use almond oil (3drops) while it is damp. Post dry(to keep hair tame), I use argon oil. I do not use Moroccan oil as Argon oil is better and Morroccan oil has only a bit of argon oil in it.

I got a FT7 last night. I inputted all data and used it for my run today. A 30 min run gave me 344 calorie burn. A further 10 min elliptical (I really pushed myself) gave me a burn of 104 calories. Gut tells me the 104 calories was a bit excessive. New to the HRM world so not sure- anyone have any idea's?

3 exercises are: 2 dynamic and 1 static stretch 1. Walk for 30 feet on your tiptoes taking small steps 2. Walk on your heels for 30 feet taking small steps. 3. Stretch where you put your knee against a wall and stay for 30 seconds. Switch and do the same with other leg for 30 seconds. You should feel it in your calves.

I do these before I start interval training: http://www.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/2011/05/4-shin-splint-solutions-and-st.html

If you have access to a floor length mirror-lunge and watch yourself(form). Here is a link to how to properly do a lunge: http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/ss/slideshow-7-most-effective-exercises Look up:LUNGE on that link.

I have been on here for a month. Looking for some more friends for support. Will reciprocate, genuinely. Thanks! Gulzar

OK. I updated with my run. Thank you Pete for setting this up. I appreciate the thought and time you put into this. Gulzar.

I am on Day5. I have lost 3 inches so far! The scale hasn't moved at all. Good luck! :)

Good progress. Keep going! I am on Day 4 of the 30 day Shred and I have lost 3 inches total. Its just further motivating me to keep going! :)

Per the DVD manual-one is to do the DVD everyday for 30 straight days. 10 days on each level(3 levels). In addition, one is to add cardio on top every other day to doing the Shred DVD.

I made teriyaki salmon, edamame, miso soup.

I also get shin splints. Its very important to get fitted for the proper shoes and to make sure you warm up properly and thoroughly PRIOR to your run as well as AFTER your run. If your shins still hurt(like mine do), ice them. I am seeing though that the more I run and engage in outdoor sports, the better I am(either its…

I am leaving for Egypt as of April 24 and return on May 6.. If everyone can give me a few dates, I can go ahead and plan something for beginning of May. Or for before I leave, no later than 23rd. Thanks.

I am doing my day 5 tonight. I took a break yesterday because I ran 5k and needed a break from the shred as the day before I did shred, 4 min abs, 5k and a spin class. PHEW...can I be honest and say I am NOT looking forward to dealing with her bubbly pushy personality today?

I was a size 0, weighed: 98lbs.I was a runner(long distance) and a soccer player.

I am fairly new to this as well(20 days) and would be more than happy to support you.
