well done!! not every run will feel great, especially if you are going into new distances. But if you keep at it I promise it will start to feel better and before you know it 10 mile runs will be a regular part of your week. :)

true enough, but my guess is that most people aren't getting enough. It would be interesting to see how much is actually in the average diet. I live on the pacific so I have easy access to fish, but until I lived here I never ate fish. :/

Slightly off topic, but 3-6-9 is a gimmick and not what we should be taking. You only need to supplement Omega 3 (look for the one with the highest amount of DHA). Omega 3 is the one our diets are generally lacking, unless we eat a lot of fish. We get TOO much Omega 6 in general, and Omega 9 is created naturally by your…

In two weeks it's more likely to be water weight than muscle. In any case I agree with everyone who has said this is not healthy and not a good way to go about things... it will backfire!

you look great! good work.

I like the library and youtube idea, since you can watch a variety of videos for free and then decide what you like! But with that said... it's summer! Go outside and play! That's the best exercise anyway. :)

You are probably not eating enough calories. If you have your profile filled out correctly and it's telling you 1700, then 1200 is way too low. That is definitely going to affect how you feel. Contrary to what some people think, fewer calories is not necessarily better, and if you are eating too few your weight loss will…

ok I'll pick something in the middle. :/ three days per week I am eating communal food, so this might become an ongoing issue.

walking = cardio ;)

It's not redundant because she is not getting cardio benefits elsewhere. Muscle mass is not cardiovascular health. And given that she mentioned she is already on medications that are modifying her heartrate, I think it's safe to assume that she needs to work on her cardiovascular health. Find the right cardio and you don't…

Get out of the gym and go play outside!! There are about 5 zillion outdoor activities you could try that will be both fun and great exercise. Here's a starter list for ideas--but there's so much more: running (I know you say it hurts--invest in a proper sports bra!) trail running, which is way more fun than roads! walking…

any activity is good. don't forget that weight loss is not just about activity, but about food consumption. regardless of how hard I think I'm working at various activities, the two activities that give me the best fitness and which work me the hardest are running and cycling. I've yet to find anything else that can…

Not familiar with the Timex but I have been using Garmin gps watches for years, and they are great! Their accuracy isn't 100% but it is good enough for the day-to-day purposes. Note that if you are running under heavy tree cover and/or winding trails, it will generally be less accurate. Some people also have troubles when…

If there is still room, I'm in for 100 miles!
