Me too please! I need some motivation and encouragement. :)

I'm right there with ya! I just logged in today after being inactive for a while. I have noticed in my absence of logging my foods that I was not watching what I eat as well. I decided to start again new today, so I need motivation too. I do want to lose some weight, but mainly be healthy and active and set a good example…

Definitely 30 any day over 80. I run so much better in colder weather and last longer. As others have said, I can warm up but it's harder to cool down while running. Plus, since I live in Florida...it always seems like when it is 80, it is humid.

I also have 50 lbs to lose! I was off and on the last few months but since completing my first half marathon last weekend, I am motivated!! I plan on being on here everyday. Please add me. :)

Just completed my first 1/2 last weekend! But I didn't run the whole time, so doing another one in November, planning on running it. Will be doing some 5K and 10K before then. :)

I also suffer from frequent headaches and migraines. If my headache isn't a migraine, I try to push through and go about my normal exercise and usually it eases up. If my migraine is bad, I can't do anything at all. I would suggest some type of cardio like walking, running, elliptical...along those lines. I have gone to a…

Hi there! Please feel free to add me, too. I started out great but then fell off the wagon a little as well. I am back on, and hoping to find some friends here to help motivate and keep me accountable. I try to motivate others as much as I can. :)

I also run with my dog. She is a lab and absolutely loves to go running with me. I always have her with me, since the times when I need to run (5am or 9pm) it is dark and I am not comfortable going by myself. But it's good exercise for her, too, so it works well. :)

I'm in and willing to try! I think this will give me motivation needed to start running again. :)

Awesome thanks for the ideas for layering clothes! It helps to hear what you cold weather runners wear. :)

I am new to running (doing the C25K) but I enjoy running in the colder weather so much more than the humid heat! It is invigorating and helps me run farther. But just out of curiosity...what do you all wear running when it is 30 degrees outside? I went running the other morning and was really cold and realized I don't have…

Love this program! I am amazed at what I have been able to run so far, since I have never been a runner. :) So far, each week has been fine until this one. Just did W6D3 this morning and really struggled to get through the 25 minute run, but did it. I was amazed how well I did last week with the 20 minute one, but today…

I just looked into C25K yesterday and am excited to start it, but will wait until Monday. I want to do M, W, F, since the program I am following suggests 3 days per week. I signed myself up for a 5K mud run at the end of September, so I want to have more stamina for running by then. I have never enjoyed running, but can…

Very cool idea! I wish I had a smart phone because that would work great for me since I don't drink nearly enough water. One of these days. :)

Looks yummy!! Now I want a taco... :)

I was always underweight until...I had a baby, didn't change my eating habits after my pregnancy, financially stressed over the last two years - emotional eater, had to quit my gym membership due to cost, wasn't exercising enough, getting enough sleep, and still not drinking enough water. But, here to change that!

Growing up, I always drank regular sodas, which was on occasion. Then when I went to college, I started drinking them a lot more so when I realized how much I was gaining from them, I switched to diet coke and have been drinking it for 12 years. I am trying hard to downgrade my addiction and switch to water!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Apple Jacks...but my favorite as a kid was one called Quisp, but I can't seem to find that one anymore.

Wow, thanks for the helpful ideas, everyone! I guess I am going to have to keep a bottled water with me in the car and on my desk at work, so I can sip on it during the day. Sadly, I do not like the lemon in my water for some reason, but I haven't tried other flavored waters. I really prefer ice water over warmer water, so…

I am also in the same boat! I have a 2 year old, and like you, between family time and working full time, it is hard. My health has gone down since my daughter, though she is also the most wonderful thing to happen to me. I think it has been more stress, no me time - workouts or relaxing, and not doing a very good job meal…
