Thanks! I will maybe go get fitted for some shoes tomorrow. I’ll take it easy for a few days and just try to get a decent amount of steps in. Hopefully I can get back to it soon.

Thanks for the advice. I was wondering if the shoes were part of the problem. They are just a pair of cross trainers that I bought awhile back for walking. This may sound dumb, but where/how does one get fitted for running shoes? I am on a VERY tight budget, so I need to get something that is affordable. But I do want to…

Hey, there! I'll check it out. Thanks!

Either rice cakes with peanut butter and cinnamon, or cucumber slices with hummus and pico de gallo. Yum :)

(Hug!)

Thanks for checking! Maybe I can find some alternative in the store. Or just have a cheat ;).

thanks! I'll look it up.

I'm sorry. I don't have an answer for you as I am knew to this and still learning. But I was curious what site you used to calculate the 228. I would love to check it out. I, too, am concerned about wanting an accurate calories burned count.

The Time Machine. I am loving it!

Thanks so much for helping out on this site. I do have one question. How much fruit is too much per day? I love fruit, and we keep a lot on had in our house to snack on. I usually have at least two servings a day. But sometimes I would like to eat more. Should I just stick with one or two?

Wow! That is so cool. Thanks so much for the info.

Amazing! Thanks for the inspiration.

I know this sounds lame, but how does a hr monitor work? and how do you use it to help track your calories? This whole world is so new to me. I just finally found out what BMR is!!! :blushing:

anyone?

This sounds delicious! I am not supposed to be eating gluten right now. Do egg roll wrappers have gluten in them, and if so, does anyone know of an alternative?

Eyes :).

I am 5'2, currently weigh 152, my goal weight is 130.

Love!

To be a full-time touring artist, waking up every day in a new place and making music with my band. Oh, to never have to wait another table for the rest of my life!!!! That would be the day :).

Just read that and realized that it was sort of a wordy sentence. Hope it makes sense! :tongue:

Thanks for the inspiration! I, too, have a lot of bad family history hanging over my head. My number one reason for wanting lose weight is to avoid diabetes. But seeing how much of a difference 30 pounds makes, I am so motivated to keep going. Damn, you look good! Very sexy and sleek, and beautiful of course. :)

No pool :(. But good to know I can keep moving. Thanks!

Thanks! I will stick to 3 days a week for now. That is about all I have time for in my schedule anyway. Is it ok to go on walks or bike a little on the off days just to keep things loose? I will watch for any pains. So far I just feel a little stiff and sore in my hams. And maybe hips a teeny. But I have bad hips :(.

Were you already in pretty good shape when you started, or did you just dive in? (I am fairly out of shape right now, but not too bad). Also, once you got to week 10, were you able to increase run time? Or have you always just stayed at 20? Thanks so much for the schedule! I will see if I can do your week one tomorrow when…

Thanks! I had no idea, but that makes sense. Because walking wasn't doing much for me ( I walk A LOT at work), but the running got me breathing harder. I will try to keep it up towards that side.

Yes, it does. And you deserve to wear it!!!!

I want to be back down to 130 pounds by Christmas (what I was two years ago), and be able to run for 30 minutes straight without stopping. :) Oh, and fit into my favorite pair of jeans from college. And yes, I saved them to remind myself of how skinny I was back then, lol. But they were really cute jeans. Had a design…

Oh, so many things that I could list! But pizza is definitely at the top. And then beer and wine. I could live off of those three things if I could.

Thanks. I think it will be hard not to wait that long, argh. Although at most, I would probably only lose about five pounds in a month. So I guess I will have to wait to see results, lol.
