Yes, i do love it and the Vanilla is my Favorite! The one I have id the 25g protein and 220 calories which is okay for me since I have been having too few calories so I need it, I guess! lol

Thanks... that is so sweet of you. i appreciate the support, believe me I need it! :)

I will...thanks again! I can't wait now.

Welcome Val....excited you are here!!!! Woo hoo!

I went ahead and downloaded the Couch 2 5k app, so I am excited to use it....I am already excited. So i have to get myself ready and start training.

Yeay... I feel so much better ( I'm smiling as I'm typing this...) because knowing that others have been there and the actual professionals giving me advice makes a World of Difference! Seriously... to all of you Thanks!

I will start running outside...this humidity is a killer but I see how important ot os to get myself ready to run outside!!! Thanks

The Race is on Sept 28? I think...so I guess I have 2 months to get this Rrican butt in gear for it! :) I am just a bit nervous that I will just be looking all stupid being a 5k...lol

okay...thanks. I am a bit "ignorant" to the runner things...what will start in the back do? If can ask?

This is my issue as well...I jog at 4.5 (maybe pushing it to 5 when I want to make sure I hit 2 miles in 30 minutes) for 5-6 minutes then I walk at 3.5. I am trying to be a runner too and I have just signed up for a 5k at the University I work for...uff, so anyways, I think we just need to give it time. I am in sooo much…

You know....I was just thinking about this earlier since my Leg day is today! I will be using the Elliptical machine after it to not over do it. Prob between 15-30 minutes. On my other days I Sprint/Walk for 30 on the treadmill and then I do the Elliptical...so for me I am just doing the Elliptical. I think it calms my leg…

I think so me is more the week before and during...so now that i am seeing some progress I will be drinking TONS of water and staying away from Sodium as much as possible to help with that! :)

Count me in as well...baby steps for me! :)

Thanks. All these suggestions Will make a huge difference! Now I feel better and ready to go for it even more than before! :)

Yes...I am majorly guilty of NOT eating breakfast. I just hate it (unless it is at a later time) But I have to make sure I do eat it more. And as for my Sodium, I was hoping no one would notice it..lol> Yes, I will be changing that as well. Thanks.

Thank you...I think yes MFP suggested that many calories. I want to change ot but seem to have forgotten how. Help!

I am going to up a little bit my calories...but (hate to have to ask...embarrassing), lol....How and Where do I change my calorie intake on this website...I looked everywhere I can't find it. Loving all the suggestions. Thanks a ton!

I am going to up my calories then... it just makes it hard bc I think...ohh yeah more food to eat (which in terms means MORE food to eat, if that makes sense.) But i will try that and go from there. I think you guys know what you are talking about so I will change it up!

To be honest I am eyeing it out when it comes to food portions. That was my initial issue I am NOT a food junky...however I will eat a LOT in one sitting. So maybe I should measure the foods? and as for increasing the calories.. I like that idea....lol!

I opened my Diaries...please be gentle people! I am looking for support not put down (lol) Enjoy the viewing! :)

My bad...lol, I have been eating between 1200 to 1300 calories!

I am running at 4.5 (mpg?) is that how to say it?...lol Anyways... I am running at that speed and I kick it up to 5.0 (speed) at times! I am pretty much doing 2 miles and a bit longer in 30 minutes!

I am 5'4 and I weigh 203. I have always been a sports junkie doing tons of them when I was younger and coached Volleyball and Softball for many years. Anyways... I hide my weight well (since I am Latina) but it is CRAZY to me that I am 203 lbs.

Thanks again for all the comments, although some are a bit "ouch" they are ultimately honest! :) And that is what i was asking for. I will continue tracking my food...moderate my carbs and exercising 6 days and see what results I have :)

Thanks... I'll just go for whatever I can up until that day and keep it going!!!! :)
