feel free to add me. i have been on here for a while. i am a full time working mom with three kids ages 19-15-11. they keep me super busy and i find its about finding the balance of work family diet and exercise...

hey girlie, i feel your pain.. i seem to be very much in the same boat. all i can say is stay with it. how do you feel. how do you think you look. My clothes fit better than they ever had and at almost 40 years old i am not concerned with getting into a size 8 any more. i feel fantastic, i have energy i am healthy. These…

most of the stores that evaluate you will charge you 20.00 if you dont buy the shoes but its worth it.

my advice it to go have your gait evaluated at a running store. they will tell you what shoe is best for you then you can find them online at the best pricing. I wear a new balance 860v2 because i my ankles roll in when i run and if i dont have the right shoe my legs hurt. i found them online at joesnewbalanceoutlet.com…

You can add me.. i am right there with.. added in that i am 39 year old mama of two very busy boys.. its all good..

quit 2 years ago with Chantix... caused really intense dreams but other than that no side effects.

I AM 5-9 AND AT A SIZE FOR I WAS A LITTLE OVER 200

i do this and i log it as high impact areobics on the intermediate level for 45 mins. its a lot of fun.

i did it as a tool to get me jump started, dr's care injections for 2 months. i lost quite a bit right away, but it's only a tool if you dont change the way you eat and exercise you will never be able to keep it off. i was so heavy that exercising hurt so i used it just to jump off. it's been over a year i still feel…

cure for shin splints... sit in a chair extend your legs straight out in front of you. write the alphabet in the air with your toes. do this 2-3 times per day to get rid of shin splints.. also can not emphasize enough having the proper shoe, get fitted at a running store.. i can always tell when i need to replace my shoes…

also if it happening like mine do when i stretch like yawning or something, try to flex your feet not point your toes..

Potassium,, try it definately.

this is all too familiar to me.. my x does this to my son... i never bad mouthed him to my son and you know what over the years my son the incredibly smart child that he is has realized on his own that there are certain people that you can count on and certain people that you can never count on and the trick is knowing who…

smoking at any time is really awful for you.. duh!!!!... seriously though smoking reduces the oxygen level in your blood and constricts your viens which as you can imagine is not a good thing before or after you work out and stress your muscles. quit now..

I soooooo dont miss my butt.... not that i have completely lost it but i dont miss it at all!!!!

there are a lot of us ex-smokers on here i put on 20 to my already heavy frame when i quit.. Its a mind set take control of your life and of your body. you can do it.

yes you can.. friend me if you want to motivation. I quit smoking in April 2010. I run 3-5 miles 4-5 times a week now. i smoked for 22 years and i'm 37 you do the math... and i wasnt a closet smoke on the weekends kinda smoker. i was a two packs every other day smoker and if i took a road trip of 8 hours i took 3 packs…

ha i needed that!!!!

i did. i quit smoking before i started trying to bring my weight down though,,, because i was such a heavy smoker no way could i have exercized.. but i think if you have a good steady work out routine and you track what goes in your mouth you can probably quit without gaining but i did gain 25lbs on top of the 20 that i…

I have heard and notice that when i do really vigorous exersize that it's shortened quite a bit and i dont feel as crampy and mean.. that's a good thing..

your problem translates to all parents especially when multiple kids are in the mix... i use my lunch at work and i run laps during the boys baseball practices... i pull out a little time for myself at somepoint on Saturdays and Sundays.. But i also do what i call hurricaine cleaning at home, which means i run my butt off…

why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

things that make you go HMMMMMM.....

if it's anything like what running does for you i think you'll be fine, i started running and was worried about that exact thing but it hasnt been a problem and i am running about 25 miles per week.

i think it is super cute and it makes you look 10 years younger. Kids dont have a filter it was probably just shocking to them,,, my baby hurt my feelings like that once and after crying for a couple days i started this journey... what do you think about it is the question.....

sounds like you have already started on the right foot. Friend me i'll be happy to push you along. The first step is knowing your triggers and you seem to have a good grip on that... good for you and good luck

aerobic high impact..

I'm just going to do the strength for upper body. i dont have access to an elitpical but i have a rowing type machine that uses your body weight as a counter weight you know what i mean. So i'll use that, i just still want to have some kind of calorie burn each day because if not i sit all day and do nothing :(. My mom is…

ok guys some really great info here. so here it is i will take the next three days off.. (not happy about this) I will force myself to do some strength training during this time... (not happy about this).. but i have my first 5 K coming on October 1 and while i know i can run more than 5 K this is the race for the cure and…

i have fitted shoes from the running store.. I have had the current pair for about a month.
