You could also try increasing your protein intake. If you are lifting it will help rebuild your muscles.

If it happens when you have too big or too small of a shoe - it is probably the way you run. When you run you probably lift your toes in your sneaker, it is common.

I found what works for me is to drink plenty of water, I drink at least eight 8 oz a day. Be sure to eat you allowed calories - you don't run a car without gas in the tank. And since you are exercising be sure to get enough protein. When I watch these 3 areas the scale moves. If I exercise and cut calories the scale stops…

At first glance it looks like you aren't eating enough. I know it seems strange - but your body is like a car - it needs fuel . . . so when you are working out you need more fuel than you might think. I like this website: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ you can enter your information into the website and it…

Orange Roughy? I think it is so good - a little thicker and it could taste like crab. Kale might be the greens.

I am also a Christian. Feel free to add me.

I leave the back hang and use snap barrettes for my bangs . . . one on either side - sorta pull my left side part over to the right and snap them and then pull the rest from the right side back . . . just enough to keep everything out of my eyes. I really don't care what I look like at the gym or on the trail running.

I like to cook chicken on Sunday - weigh it out into baggies and ready to go. I pair it with the boxes of veggies from Green Giant (ie: vision healthy, healthy weight, etc.) When I first started this journey I added an individual microwavable cup of rice or multi-blend from Minute Rice . . . it is filling and easy to grab…

Slow and steady gets it done. You did not gain weight overnight and you won't lose it over night . . . weight lose is a journey and some experiences along the way will be exciting and encouraging and others will be a bumpy road. The most important thing is that you hang on and keep moving forward. I suggest logging your…

The reason you want to go to a "running store" is because they can watch you walk and properly fit you in the sneaker you need - with the proper support you need. I need extra arch support so it was good to know and they helped me pick a sneaker that best fit me. We found the running store near us by a referral from the…

I agree with getting fitted a store that sells running gear - l most times they are runners themselves and can watch you walk to see what is the best brand and fit for you. If you add too many miles too quickly you can get shin splints as well as the surface you run on . . . if you can run on a trail which gives alittle…

Add 1 TBS of honey - it is so good. I like cinnomin and blueberries added to it also.

Congratulations on your soon to be bundle of joy. Yes, breastfeeding does help with weight loss - remember you will be feeding two. What got me is once I was finished breastfeeding I continued to eat more than I needed. Best of luck to you :-)

I agree with you. I don't want to be elderly and have to count calories and weigh food, etc. However, I do use a scale for many foods and I find it very helpful to keep my portions correct. I use my scale for meats, nuts, even my raw baby carrots - it sounds silly but if I don't my serving is not a true serving size and…

This is amazing! I think this is wonderful and was excited for you as I read the first month of your journey. Keep up the great attitude and hard work! :bigsmile:

I like green tea - I don't know if it helps with weigh loss or not, I like the name brand Twinglings, they have K-cups for my Keurig - I've tried other brands and didn't care for them as much. Maybe you could try another brand and you would like it. I've done the honey thing and even though it taste good it is calories I…

I like almonds & golden raisins - I like to eat them together for a crunchy sweet snack. I log almost everything in the morning, my breakfast, what I put in my lunchbag (including snacks), and then what I think I'm going to make for supper. When I get home if I didn't eat something in my lunchbag I just delete it . . . it…

Hands down I would much prefer to be outside but with the cold winter weather it just isn't possible. I am training for a 10k in mid-April . . . so the treadmill it is . . . it is warm and there is no ice to slip on or snow to make my feet cold and wet. Looking forward to the warmer weather.

I like Brooks Adreinaline. It is a good idea to find a shoe store that specializes in running sneakers and that the salepeople are runners, they tend to be full of information. Also, remember that you want to track the miles you put on your sneakers - just because they look good on the outside doesn't mean that they are…

I agree with many others. Your goal should be to finish the 5k. I have done 4 so far and only this last one did I get under 30 minutes, I am running one on Saturday and then another on June 9. My goal for both of those is to stay under 30 minutes . . . an improvement will just be a bonus. My PR (personal record) is 29:40…
