  • That's good! :) I'm glad that you are going to mention it to your doctor. Do you feel like your exercise routine might be too strenuous, perhaps? Are you doing stretches/warm-ups as well? Those things can help ease you into a workout (and make your heartrate a bit more steady, I find). Another thing a doctor mentioned to…

  • I'm a 21 year-old university student from Canada and I, too, would love more buddies! :) You can never have enough. I am just starting on this whole weight-loss thing but I have lofty goals (a half marathon eventually... and skinny jeans!) and I know that having friends along for the ride makes it so much easier. In other…

  • Hi Shipleyak, I've had this happen before too. It's often in the first 10min of an exercise (jogging, elliptical, etc.) and then I'll find my pace and it'll calm down.

I'd…

  • Seeing photos of myself was my wakeup call. Funny how we always seem to look 30lb lighter in the mirror... my friend took some pictures of myself playing with some dogs on the lawn and I was aghast. That, combined with seeing my highest weight on the scale yet and buying size 14 pants, was the catalyst for change. I'm sick…

  • I'd love to join in. Just yesterday I completed W3D3 and am not looking forward to running 5 minutes at a time on Saturday! This is my third time starting the C25K program- the last couple of times I had to stop after week two due to shin splints. Thankfully, this time my shins seem to be doing just fine! I'm also…
