  • Did you end up joining Title? I belonged there for awhile - great workouts that leave you looking like you just stepped out of the shower! Unfortunately I moved and they wouldn't move the club with me, so I could continue working out there! LOL! I agree with Nick - for fitness/calorie burn, it's awesome! But if you want to…
  • Hmmmm... I'll have to look into this more. Maybe the Heart Rate Monitor would be a better bet. I have a couple more months left before I put together my "Santa List". LOL! Thanks for the info newcs!!!
  • I'm really interested in the sleep quality feature of the Fitbit. Would love to hear if anyone has used that part. Also, does it track calories when you're exercising??? I'm wondering how accurate it is - same question with Fuelband.
  • When I caved and got a pint of ice cream or package of cookies from the store and regretted it later... That it was better to just eat it all over the next couple days so I didn't "spread out" the bad calories. LOL! I never believed it was true, but wanted to get it out of the house sooner rather than later. Eventually I…
  • I was a DDD when I started running. Of course that's the first area I've started losing in, though - I'm probably a DD now but I'm holding off on buying new bras. If you get a very supportive sports bra, I don't see why it would be a problem. I was actually just thinking of this yesterday morning on my run - that my boobs…
  • The best thing about the running community is that they cheer you on no matter what! My last few 5k's have been 80% walking, 20% running. I'm finally on a C25K program and am really kicking up my ability to run for longer distances/times. But no matter what place I'm in, there are always people along the route cheering me…
  • I always breathe through my mouth when I'm jogging. It's not a bad thing - just get into a rhythm. I think that in thru the nose, out thru the mouth thing is something to work on later... For now I just do what's easiest. In week 1 I was jogging at a 16min/mile pace (which most people can walk faster than!), this morning I…
  • "Ease into 5k" is the app I'm using, and I love it! The first week started pretty simple running times were 30, 45 & 60 seconds. Then they creep up... I'm in the middle of week 4, and I'm running for 6 minutes at a time! I still can't believe it! LOL! The best part is trying to beat your pace from the last workout, or…
  • The shot is definitely painful. I've had it 3 times and do not wish to repeat - it really does help with the inflammation. My doc did the shot and then put me on an Aleve cycle (taking two every 12 hours). I try to ice my heel 2-3 times a day and do stretches. I did also get custom orthotics (I'm need more support, not…
  • The great thing about C25K (I actually use the Ease into 5k app, myself) is that YOU set the pace. I actually look forward to my workouts on the program. I get excited to see if my pace was quicker (though I'm still running at a pace that many walkers - including my 11 year old niece - pass me by at) or when I actually…
  • Plain, old Cheerios! 100 calories for a whole cup (which is a decent amount since some of the serving sizes for cereals are 3/4 cup). Plus 1/2 cup of skim milk, 45 calories. I prefer strawberries when I add fruit to my cereal - bananas are good, but also calorie bombs! :(
