Had the same thing happen to me. I rested for a few days and got actual running shoes (yes, novice runner who was just pounding the pavement in some bottom dollar sketchers) The shoes made a huge difference. I completed the program without anymore issues.

High five!

The Laughing cow has these light cheese spreads. One of my favorites is garlic and cheese. 35 calories per wedge :happy: and imo it goes far. I use it on/in all sorts of stuff. I like to split a wedge between two light rice cakes. Totally culls my cheese & cracker type cravings for under 100 calories.

1. Eat it. 2. Log it. 3. Exercise. 4. Feel the win.

I did the whole program outside this past summer. I can run 5k now but I get so bored on the treadmill (I do love running it outside). I have been going back through the program and using the walk/run intervals as Jog/Run instead. I think this approach will help my overall speed by the time I get outside again, but really…

I am sorry this relationship has you stressed and depressed. From what you have written it does not sound like it is a healthy option for you to stay in it any longer. Not going out with you in public really raises some concerns. If he truly wanted to focus on the relationship between you two it seem that he would tell you…

Is there a possibility that your guy is gay? The self denial type, perhaps? I do not mean it as an insult in any way, just a neutral statement/question. I know you are probably going to laugh it off, but I have seriously had friends who have gone through this and your post reminded me of their situations. The whole "he…

This sounds like it is more about confidence then weight. http://www.wikihow.com/Build-Self-Confidence complete with strange graphic cartoons, wth are up with those? But really, people of all sizes have relationship issues. You are SO not alone. Sometimes nothing is more therapeutic then a good cry. I say let it all out…

O.O oh man I did this to my mom. Well, I mean I dropped off some clothes I could no longer wear. But! I did not do this out of meanness. They were expensive office style clothes that I knew she would like and I did not want to just drop them off without checking with her first. I really did not say anything other then…

Are you grabbing clean or dirty popcorn?????? xD

I lost 50lbs doing the c25k, and I literally was a person who would rather let a bear eat them then attempt to run away from it (I liked to think of it as a Darth Vader approach, hey he never ran=P) This app really was a life changer. I would love to support anyone who is doing it. Add me! Oh and side note-if you ever find…

I have come to accept I have weird taste buds, but going to throw it out there anyway. I like to put southwest mustard on my salads. Its like only 10 calories a tsp (and a tsp of that stuff goes a long way) with full flavor. Oh and when there is calorie room I add light ranch with it-turns it into a south west ranch flavor.

Just out of curiosity do your friends run 5ks? Most of the people I know who run them are competing mostly against themselves, their own time, and it does not really matter who is finishing when. The main point of them is usually to support some great cause. It seems ridiculous that they are saying you are to out of shape…

lol-Totally sounds reasonable to me! (so sending you a friend request xD)

I hit up my Dr just for this reason. Its kind of nice when the naysayers start in on the 'to much loss' routine to be able to come back and say my Dr set this goal.

Awful news about your friend. When I am hit with the crap bat I try to go for a run. It gives me time to think and focus while putting all that emotion to good use.

Count me in! I like my clothes simple. Would love a girl-t with just their logo on the left side or something. I also get the question "how are you doing it?" would love to just point ;)

Thanks for the feedback all! I am going to let him give it a shot.

I think the right term is "OMFG!" You look amazing. Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!!

Love it!

It is hard to imagine that anyone who has actually experienced true love could even consider option B.

Keep in mind how you deal with this setback is going to be part of the pattern you are setting for yourself. You could say the hell with it and bury your head in a bag of chips OR you could put on some awesome music and dance around the house (or something like that just to put yourself in a better mood and stay on track).…

I get excited about knowing I will ditch them the first chance to sneak off with that one crazy Aunt who always seems to manage to create new scenarios for the Hangover movies.

I LOVED the couch to 5k program!! I am also 5'8 and trying to get down to 150. Add if ya want=D

Biodemon, give yourself a mom hug from me right now. You are beautiful and fierce. You can do anything you set your mind to. You will come across a few who will try to bring you down, who will try to project their demons onto you. Their words will hurt and most likely you will not be able to ignore them. Just try to…

*raises hand sheepishly* Guilty! I would never spit it out if anyone was watching, but yes, I have done it. Your thought process on the calories pretty much mirrors mine. I really do try to find lower caloire/healthier options.

Avoiding frivolous law suite 101?

I have done a few. "Go to bed hungry" is one I have been following for awhile now. It really has helped since in the past I was an epic late night snacker. I wasn't really hungry, just bored. The water rule has been helpful as well.

Me!

My eyes turned the sprinkler system on maximum for this one. That guy is amazing. If I ever see him in real life it would be really hard not to tackle hug him-lol
