Hey Dolphins, I'm Dave and I live in the Detroit suburbs with my wife and two daughters (actually the eldest just started college in Ohio recently so I am missing her :cry: but she is doing great:happy:) I've done several of Sheri's challenges before and have found them very motivating and have found significant…

Starting Weight 248 lbs. Looking to get to 220, even if it takes longer than the 13 weeks of the challenge.

I am in! Glad to be with the Dolphins again....feels like home.

My daughter's favorite motivational line is "just keep swimming..just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo.

If it is to be.. its up to me!

Like everyone said, C25k is an excellent beginning runner program. For shoes, go to a specialty running store. They will ask you some questions and check out your gait/stride and recommend the right kind of shoe. It may cost a little more, but I think the right shoe is worth the extra cost.

Last year I had a personal trainer who was great. I had twenty workouts that I spread out over twenty weeks. I admit is was hard to see the progress week to week, but it was easy to see it at the end of the twenty weeks. I didn't need the motivation to work out. What I needed was someone to teach me the right exercises and…

If you are worried about your feet, the most important consideration is your shoes. Go to a quality running specialy store in your area and have someone at the store recommend a shoe for your foot/running type. They should ask you some questions about your training/running goals and habits and watch you walk before…

Please get the help you need as soon as you can (whether it is counseling, coping strategies, support groups, medications, whatever you need depending on the seriousness of your condition). PPD is not to be taken lightly. There are organizations that provide support in almost every state. I co-founded a charity in the…

Lots of resources for new runners. Look at the c25k (couch to 5k program) and the book Training Programs by Jeff Galloway. I started running years ago and it was difficult at first, but I am loving it more and more every year.

Great post. I will keep this for refernce.

I believe its much more important to know that you are heading in the right direction and taking steps to improve your health. You should be prooud of the steps your taking is this area. If your weight is more important than your direction to your BF family, then its their problem..not yours. We all can't be in the perfect…

Ah...I see your schwartz is as big as mine...(from Space Balls) Baby, baby...12 is my limit on schnitzengruben (Blazing Saddles)

Awesome job! Keep up the good work.

Very inspiring. Keep up the good work!!!

runfatmanrun - LOL. Love the username and I can totally sympathize.

I prefer running (especially outside), generally because you actually get somewhere and viewing the scenery makes the run more enjoyable.

When I started running, I did the same thing that you did to log MFP calories. Then i bought a heart rate monitor to get a better estimate of calorie burn. I found that, for me, my actual burn according to the heart rate monitor was about 60%-7-% of what MFP had listed. So I agree with the other posters to just round up to…

I noticed I have been getting "head rushes" when I stand up, which makes me feel dizzy to the point where I have to lean against a counter for a few seconds until it clears up. It doesn't happen often, but it did start when I began losing weight. I try to drink more water and that seems to help.

I have learned a few tips: Get a good support group to encourage and motivate you and hold you accountable. Log your food and workouts consistently so you can see what works and what doesn't Track sodium - too much makes you retain water weight Eat minimal carbs after lunch unless they are high fiber or fresh fruits and…
