  • Awesome. Thanks everyone! I have intentions on going to a running store. These New Balances I wear I was originally fitted for but at the time I didnt do any running / only general gym cardio stuff. I may also just look around on the knee braces.

  • I was at 1500 for at least 1-2 months. I calculated my BMR it says its about 1700. I just don't feel thats right. Even at 1500 I was gaining.

  • I like dvds and did the 30 day shred - the only problem now is that I live on upper floor at apts and I like to do my workouts a little later in the evening. I also like to quit A LOT and get motivated for a good 2 weeks then I don't want to do the videos anymore or I get burnt out. I really enjoyed walking but its gotten…
