I didn't quit cold turkey -- I used a caffeine replacement. I wanted to quit soda, but had no reason to quit caffeine, so i switched to tea, both hot and cold. It worked well for me. I also drink plain seltzer water because I like the bubbles.

I use the C25K app. The great thing about it is that you can use your own music, and you still get all the voice cues. I really like it, and it's not hugely expensive.

Ok, thanks all. I guess I'll just skip it. I really wanted to have an idea of whether the exercise from it was making up for my Starbucks treat -- but in thinking about it, I realize that I will get the Starbucks anyway, even if it doesn't. It's my only sweet indulgence right now. I play four-in-hand (but often play 6 or…

I have asthma, and it was hard to breathe! Plus, they just weren't stable enough, and I was hurting. The Enell bra is well worth the money. The…

I don't think I have a bubble -- what I was trying to say was that reading that sort of woke me up. I think I've always had the idea that I could lose the weight later. You know, after I get my career going, after my husband gets his career going, after our house is fixed up. Reading that about your metabolism slowing down…
