So I followed the training plan you guys gave and followed your advice on training and I ended up running 5K about 2 weeks ago! Thanks so much for the motivation! I had never been able to before so I was ecstatic. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I had never thought about that before. They do have those at my gym so I'll search for some exercises and be sure to try them out this weekend. Thanks again!

Thanks for the positivity! I'll be sure to update my progress. If I end up making the 5K, I'm sure I'll let the whole world know, haha.

Kudos to you! That's wonderful! I'm considering the new shoes, as these are starting to wear out (just saying that makes me so happy =).) The braces keep my ankles from falling out under me so unfortunately, they stay. Thanks for the positive encouragement!

Thanks for all the positive advice. =) I like the increase by .125 or .15 miles per week. I think that's pretty doable. Thanks again!

It's more that I would literally have to go out and get new shorts and jeans and it's not very doable right now. But, point noted. =P

It wasn't a concern for me until I dug up my shorts from last summer and they were noticeably tighter. It may be genetics but eating at a deficit daily and working out, I would have imagined that I could have at least maintained, especially since I did shed pounds and become leaner overall.
