Congrats! Amazing time! I ran my first 5k last January, I have signed up to run a ½ marathon this Sunday!

Running my first half in 3 weeks - I will probably be around 2:30...

I am doing this from memory, but when I looked at the fine print it said 73% of Dr recc a low calorie energy supplement (that makes much more sense than recc a high calorie) and of those, 50% recc 5 hour energy. So, less than ½ of the Dr's that responded reccomended 5 hour energy. But the commercial talks about the 73%...…

Illinoise... and I am not even from that state :)

Love this - I was laughing through the whole thing! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for reminding me to be checking my sodium!

Yep - I agree - this is a wonderful post!

If you would have started your workout when you first though of it, you would be done by now! (Not sure who said it, but it always applies in my case!)

My goal is to run a 5k every month in 2012 (which is a feat here in Michigan!) and this is me crossing the finish line in my June run!

A 2 year old here :-)

I agree with lukeout007 - I was good up to 25 pounds - now have slowed down. I think when it happens has to do with how much you have to lose and how consistent you are. (and also if you are changing up your exercise routine) Chris

My 2 cents - since it is something that you would like to do well at, and you have a goal in mind, I would back off the insanity... You are still exercising so all is good :)

Such a difference! Amazing 4 months!

I was thinking the same thing! Perfectly said!

I struggle with this one too - I am shooting to be in the 22 range for BMI, so I still have at least 20 pounds more to go...

A really great site, similiar to MFP but for the Dave Ramsey plan - is www.llnoe.com (Living Like No One Else) There are many people there that have gone through similiar circumstances and would be able to add some ideas in addition to the many great ideas that you have received so far! Good luck!

Thinking that counts as a major NSV :) Congrats!

This is a great topic... I am in the process of trying to get back in shape, but it has been a slow go so far :)

So thats how you do that! (Learn something new each day :) )

I can't run that fast even for a 5k - that is amazing - great job!!!

I have been running also - a friend of mine challenged me to raun a 5k every month in 2012 - easier said than done in Michigan. Since I hadn't run at all, I was also feeling the same feelings that you have. But, I just told myself that even if I came in last, I still was ahead of everyone who didn't even try!!! (And that…

My 2 cents - yes, get a helmet, especially with people texting and not paying attention...
