  • Nike Pegasus 30 for running only.... take them off the moment I'm done running... don't even go put the wash in the dryer without taking them off... The rest of the time it's New Balance NB running 540.... those are my "everyday" shoes.

  • If you can run, RUN!!! Running, in sun, wind, rain, snow, light, dark, inside, or outside... is just an absolute JOY! If you can run, then RUN. Just dress appropriately for every occassion, and take care of yourself. Running is a blessing. ENJOY every minute of it!! :happy:

  • Yes!! Just do it!! You may find that you (eventually) FALL IN LOVE WITH IT! You just don't know!! I used to barely be able to walk around 2 blocks. I built up more distance, gradually.

  • The BEST thing that I can say is, "DON'T GIVE UP!!" I also hit a plateau, and instead of counting the pounds lost each month, I was counting 10ths of pounds. My weight loss slowed up dramatically, and then the brakes were on! A nurse told me that your body DOES go through an adjustment period. Just don't give up. You can…

  • Don't quit running!!!! You will see that once you get going good, weight will start to come off again! Echoing many others, make sure you hydrate!! Also, if I'm running first thing in the morning, (before breakfast) I ALWAYS make sure to have a LITTLE something before the run, like a palmful of almonds (10 almonds or so),…

  • Just a quick note. If you want a slice of pizza, get 1 slice of pizza... make it a time when you're out and about, but don't get a pizza-pie... not even a small one. I am bad at moderation on ice-cream. If I would go and include an ice-cream cone, as a part of my plan for the day, that would be fine. One time, I wanted to…

I like posting it, because I love to hit the reports, and look at the graph! It's so fun for me! I like seeing the real weights. I also think it helps me to learn what is…
