I use ShakeO for the nutrition not because I think it will lose my weight for me :D I hate eating breakfast so I just have a shake instead. IF I didn't have a shake, I wouldn't eat breakfast, so to me, it's a win-win. It's expensive yes, but I guarantee my fiance spends more on coffee and energy drinks every month than I…

I can relate. When I wanted to start running I was so afraid people were going to be watching me and laughing and judging,etc etc. Eventually the desire to do it overcame those feelings and I'm doing my first half marathon Sunday and I am still 220 pounds. Don't ever let someone (even yourself, especually yourself!!!!)…

I had ALL of my top teeth pulled last year and I was able to exercise right away. You may want to rest alot the first day and take pain pills depending how bad it is. But most likely you will just be out from exercising for a day or 2 at the most.... Eating how ever was a completely different story lol

So are you saying that ALL of the reading material in running books by Olympic marathon runners, and articles on Runner's World etc are wrong when they tell you to only up your weekly mileage by 10%? Because I'm pretty sure that 9 miles to 15 miles is WAYYYY more than 10%...... My point and many others on here as well, is…

I started c25k at around 230 lbs, I experienced some tendonitis in both my knees and my feet from trying to do too much too soon and also not properly stretching before and after. But I'm at 215 8 months later and running 8 miles and doing my first half marathon next month, so it can be done! You just have to do it slowly,…

LOL the average beginner 5k runner is not going to complete 15 miles in the 4th week, and if you or anyone else tries to state otherwise, you will lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with from what I can tell by reading the posts. But anyone who says 15 miles, or even the 9 miles in the 3rd week, is easy…

On my 7 mile run, I burned 1684 according to my Bodymedia and 1496 according to HRM. I still have about 70lbs left to lose, so I attribute it to that. Just eat if you are hungry, if you ran 10 miles you SHOULD be hungry. You can eat it all back if you are hungry, but don't force yourself to just to hit a magic number…

I'm chellebubblz, but I don't really see how to add anyone.

Way to go! Keep it up!! I started with the 5k training back in February and I was SLOWWWW. Probably the slowest 5k ever at 54:04 lol. After I finished the program, I kept going on my own. I kinda struggled with what to do after that. I'm the type that needs a program IN WRITING to follow. I was running 5k 3 times a week…

I always try to get people to do Zombies 5k lol. I'm on Season 2 of the regular app now and I'm like a runner junkie! I'm up to 4.5 mile runs this week. I did 4 mile runs last week so it shouldn't be too tough a transition I don't think. I'm doing the Biggest Loser half marathon training schedule and following it as close…

I'm here! Just hard to post! REALLY wish they made it easier to post to forums from the mobile app! I've been working on increasing my mileage since I know I'm in the right shoe. Which BTW makes a HUGE difference! I increased pace by almost 2 minutes just by changing shoes LOL. I'm doing a 13:21 pace but for long runs I…

I wanted the orange ones lol but they only had the blue. Footlocker website had the orange, but I didn't want to wait lol. Did a run with them and beat all my records so apparently shoes make a HUGE difference. I was at a 14:19 1mile PR, and got a 13:49 1mile with the Wave Riders.

I went with the Wave Riders, the aruba blue ones with pink accents. Lol they are super loud!! Im still unsire but i think good choice, can't wait to run in them tomorrow yay! I almost.got Asic Gel Cumulus imstead but was set on Mizuno lol

I don't get to check in here enough since my hard drive quit on my PC. My fiance is off work for the summer so I don't get on his often lol. I did get my gait assessed and was told I am indeed neutral and that my feet are perfect so finding a shoe won't be hard. She recommended Mizuno WAve Rider 16 or Brooks Glycerin 10…

I've been just running as far as I can without walking then calling it a day. Usually about 2.5 mi at 14-15 min/mi. Trying to keep pace slower so that I can beat zombies and not lose supplies lol. My slow pace use to be 17 minute miles and fast 15, now I'm slow 15 and fast 10-11 so I'll take that progress :D I CAN do a…

I've been keeping up with my runs, but nothing exciting. I can evade the zombie chases about 50% of the time now instead of getting caught EVERY time lol. I am trying to learn to control my pace so I can A-evade the chases and B-not have to walk during my run. I have been able to do a couple 5k runs without stopping. But…

It's awesome when you can evade :D I have to slow my pace on runs in order to evade, if I'm trying for a PR while running I get caught and lose supplies LOL

I have Mirena (iud) and havne't had that much luck with it. Sure it WORKS. But it has my body so confused lol. I have to work SO HARD to lose weight and my cycles are messed up and my sex drive is GONE. So sure it works, because you don't want to have sex anymore! lol I'm considering getting a tubal in the fall so I can…

I had my dental work done at a local dental school, and it was a wonderful experience. All the students that worked on me were in their last year and about to graduate and had a seasoned dentist supervising them the whole time. It's not Mexico I know, but maybe an alternative to think about, and most likely cheaper than…

Thanks! I'm kinda nervous it's gonna happen again, but taking one day at a time. Kinda sucks that I don't know what kind of running gait I am and I can't get to a runner store til next month. I have both stability and neutral shoes and they both feel fine to me, so I have been switching between them which is prob not the…

I've been kinda MIA posting. My computer doesn't work and my fiance is off work for the summer so I don't get to get on his as often lol. I had to take 10 days off due to my foot, I think it was the peroneal tendon but whatever it was is all healed up. I was on a TOTAL high today after my run. I started out doing the c25k…

I live in a very small town, low population too, so I never feel unsafe, but it's very hard to get a longer run in without feeling like I'm running in circles and getting bored. I often find myself weaving through the blocks lol to stretch out a distance. And there's been times I make it back to my own block at like 2.8…

Week 4 felt like a step backwards for me too, but at that time I wasn't running the free forms. That is the week I started running the whole free form run and things fell right into place. Really wish I"d been trying to run them the whole time lol then maybe i'd be in better shape now after finishing!

I cant but i am very close!

I finished my final mission a few days ago. Wasnt able to run the whole thing. I ran the first mile then had to walk/run the rest. The week i had to take off due to my Parolean tendon. Tomorrow im starting with the regular c25k by Active so i can ease back in.

Was another day off for me. I woke up feeling good, put my shoes on and ran a few errands with my fiance and son, and by the time we got home the side of my foot and ankle was killing me. ahhhh this may be a long recoup period.....

LOL.yea i dont want a doctors opinion. Although i may get looked at tomorrow, who knows. I'm really frustrated i cant finish my.last mission. I wasnt even exercising when it happened, just in the grocery store. It hurts like a bruised bone, when i put pressure on it. I can walk on toes without pain. I'm taking aleve, using…

I feel amazing running in the rain it's very freeing feeling for me. I do wear a baseball cap though and put my phone in a ziplock

I tried to do my run today, but i had to turn around at a mile. My foot still really hurts. Not sure what is wrong. For those who have tendonitis, can you explain what it feels like? From what I've read, I'm thinking it maybe that or a stress fracture. Or just some freak thing lol. But it sucks! I was on pace to beat my…

Skinny fat occurs when someone loses weight rapidly just to obtain a magic number, not caring about fitness, thus losing lean body mass, and possibly having excess skin. They would become skinny fat. Read this and it will help you understand "skinny fat" for those who are confused or have the wrong idea what it is.…
