42, 43 this year. Feel free to add me - I think the more Fitness Friends I have, the more accountable I will be - at least I hope!

I'm a runner. Started about 4 years ago. Have done several half marathons & two marathons. I don't LOVE it, but I do love how I feel when I'm done... and I love the calorie burn! I'm doing another half in May and then I am doing one Half a month for 12 months. I find I need to be signed up for a race in order to continue…

I can't believe you did that in 4 months - that is AMAZING!! It really shows me what is possible and what a dope I've been since I just want to lose 20 but really just keep gaining and losing the same 5. Thank you for posting - it was a good kick in the pants for me. Keep up the fantastic work & good luck on the last part…

Just did day 3 & I think those lateral lunge shoulder raise things (which I HATE!) felt a bit easier. Progress! There are some great threads in the forums with 30 Day Shred success stories which are really motivating... if you stick with it, it looks worth it!

I'm in. I was going to start today & haven't done it yet but now that I saw this, I think it is a sign. I think I've only gone as far as 11 or 12 days before... but I am going to do all 30 days this time! You heard it.

I love the rhyme! I am taking a mini vacation with my mom for 5 days this Thursday & will NOT be able to get through that without wine, but aside from that - I'm in for the rest of the month! It will be a real challenge for me but I have been meaning to see how long I can go without wine, so if I can do it for the last 3…

you can't go wrong with either... but for me, option 1 looks like a shoe I'd be able to wear more AFTER the wedding as well. Also, it is simple & I think the dress has some frills/detail - so the shoe wouldn't add any more "busy-ness". But - they are both great choices. That's a really pretty colour for the dress too.

I do that counting thing too! - I count up to 30 over and over again. Another trick I will do, if I'm running with my ipod and want to stop is to tell myself "you just have to run to the end of this song & then you can walk" . Usually by the end of the song, I feel fine and keep going b/c I got over whatever mental block…

Good luck! 7 weeks is not very long to train since you might want to "taper" in your last week (some people taper 2 weeks). But just do what you can & you will definitely finish the half marathon. Search online for some training programs... most are the same, they have you running 5 times per week. I usually only ever did…

I eat almost no carbs (sort of paleo/primal) so I often have to have an extra snack just to get up to 1200 calories. Lots of steamed veggies which are very filling, pork tenderloin is low cal for meat, smoothies w/ frozen berries & kale & a bit of yogurt and skim milk fills me up for lunch, eggs for breakfast or even a…

Thank you for posting this! I had talked myself out of doing a run tonight - then I read this, bought the app, and wanted to try it right away. Just got back from a nice 40 minute run... that is 40 minutes of exercise I absolutely wouldn't have done if I hadn't seen this. I ran a marathon in May and since then I have…

Just go! I know how you feel, so I often have to say "I will just go for 10 minutes". Then of course by the time you get out there and start, you won't just do ten minutes... and you will feel better afterwards. It is just getting out the door that is tough some times! DO IT.
