I take zinc also. There is a brand called Zand that tastes pretty OK. Make sure that you get the ones that have 5mg of zinc instead of the 2mg. Make sure that you continue to take them when you start to feel better. Hope you start to feel better.

Definitely the shoes. You most likely aren't going to find good shoes for less than $100. Go to a running store and have them fit you for shoes. They will watch you run/walk and fit put you in several different shoes and you pick which ones you like the best. I would rather spend the money on the shoes then risk getting…

Welcome back! You can add me if you'd like too. Anyone can add me :)

You should really go and see a urologist. They may want to put a scope into you urethra and into your bladder to see what is going on. Insist that your doctor sends you to one. If they don't/won't find another doctor.

You can add me, anyone can add me! I have been running for a little over a year and done 2 half marathons, a handful of 5Ks and 5K obstacle courses. I am planning on doing the Boulder Boulder on May 27 (10K) and possibly working on training for a marathon that is in October (if my school schedule will allow). It is…

Haha! Bad idea, GREAT story!!

Awesome job!!! You look beautiful!

You can add me! I love to run! I did my second half marathon on April 7 and my third one is in August. I love having running friends. Anyone else can add me as well.

Thank you!!! Glad someone finally said it! OP, you asked for help and now that you are getting it, you keep making excuses (please don't take this as being mean, I just saying what I see). If you truly want to run, get good running shoes from a running store that a professional has fitted you in. Download Couch to 5K…

Bump

Awesome job! Keep it up! Running becomes addicting! :happy:

Go to a running store for both shoes and bra. They will be expensive but well worth it. The running store will watch how you run and put you in a several different shoes for you to try. Running shoes that have been fitted to your body and style of running will help protect your back, hips, knees, shins, and ankles. I wear…

Awesome job! Keep it up :)

Same for me

Posting a topic about YOUR TOM like you are something special and the only one who wants to eat a ton of salty foods, chocolate, sweets, has cramps, and doesn't want to exercise...it happens to most of us, get over yourself. Thanks, I needed that! :drinker:

Bump for later!

Brad's a GREAT friend! Feel free to add me as well! Anyone can add me if they would like!

^^This! Either take her to a running store so they can properly fit her or get her a gift certificate to one of these stores. If she is properly fitted for running shoes it will help protect her back, hips, knees, shins, ankles, and feet. Good luck!!

The little voice inside your head that says that is a liar...and a *kitten* (at least that's what I call her)! Your mind always gives up before your body does. I say this mantra when I am getting tired "My legs are strong, my feet are light". Someone on MFP said this and I love it! It keeps me going :)

C25K is a great tool to use when starting to run! It uses a run/walk method to build up the endurance. There are a bunch of great 5Ks out there! my favorite at the mud runs and obstacle courses :) oh and the ones that have beer at the end :drinker: The biggest thing is to have fun. Feel free to add me. I am always loving…

Judging a dog by its breed is just like judging a person because of the color of their skin. The reason that you hear of so many pit bull attacks is because it is sensational. I live in Colorado and the most common dog bites come from Labs, you don't hear about it because it isn't sensational. My husband and I own a vet…

If you are sick it sounds like water retention. I always gain weight when I have a cold and am not exercising. Once I am better I am back to my current weight. Work on getting better and then worry about the weight.

Tripped over a rocking chair in the hallway (curtsey of my brother who was 5 at the time) and completely lacerated my mommy parts when I was 9. Was in surgery for 4 hours...that one hurt! Have one on the corner of my left eye from jumping on the couch and landing on the coffee table when I was 3. And one on my forehead…

Biggest thing it is have fun! I am running my second half in about a week and a half :) Find what works for you and don't change that on race day. If you bring energy chews on your long runs, do that at the race. If you haven't been practicing with food, don't do it at the race. For me I always carb load starting the day…

Awesome job!! I love that high! You will have it more and more.

It will be a HUGE shock going from running on the treadmill to outside. Use the incline and see if you can get outside on the weekends.

I lost about 15 lbs training for my first half. After that I lost 8 more while just running. I started training for a marathon this year and have lost 3 more lbs. Total I've lost 26 with running and eating well. I do switch things up. I do my shorter runs around 8-9 minute miles and my long runs at 9-10 minute miles. On my…

And teach the puppy to poop every time she plays the drums!

Sounds like she is jealous. Let it go. I know that it is hard, but something my husband has taught me is that if it isn't trying to kill you, it isn't a big deal. Just let your sister be herself and keep on with your weight loss. Some people have to make others feel bad about themselves so they can feel good. Remember, you…
