Popcorn does the trick for me...try it with a little lemon juice (no butter), sounds weird but it's great I think! Also milk shakes...or smoothies with a sprinkle of protein powder if you're into that. I find it fills you up for a long time.

This may sound stupid, but what about walking around in your house? I do it all the time while studying for uni exams and after an hour I feel exhausted.

Thanks! I didn't start out fast, like you said I felt like I was crawling, but now I've picked up the pace a little. There are no thoughts of quitting, mainly as I see myself going further and further each time. i just have to take care of myself and like everyone else said, stretch and have rest days.

Thanks everyone, I'll definitely take your advice. I'll start with stretches during my run, I have a feeling that will work! I'll keep you updated with my progress...

Yea I bought a pair of serious running shoes and they're great. With the stretching I do so before and after my runs but not much happens in terms of the pain. I think my legs need a little getting used to my body until I lose a little more weight. lol

It's hard for everyone around the Holidays to keep up with their routine. I try and keep my portions small, even if I eat a couple times a day. And with exercise try and do as much as possible (even a 15 minute walk a day, or something) to keep you up and going. Don't worry about it, you'll be back to your normal self in…

I'm your friend!

Good on you!!! Keep it up :) :)
