  • Good for you. My goal is about half that - to lose 50 pounds-but it's a struggle no matter how much you want to lose. You are right - its a lifestyle change and you are in the right place for support! :happy:

  • Have the same thing. Actually my second AND third toes are longer than my big toe. And my heel is a AA width!! Such a pain to find shoes. I have luck with ones with a wide toe box ( sometimes the descriptions will say " accommodates orthotics"). If you like New Balance shoes, look for ones marked as an SL-2 ( the last or…

Toss with vinegar and a little olive oil, salt & pepper and you have lunch. I also add a little grated or shaved parmasean sometimes. Tomorrows lunch will be leftover spinach…

  • I started and got about halfway through C25K last year before a severe foot injury (not related to the running) required me to stop. I cant speak to the time question but running on a treadmill is very different from running outdoors. I was up to running for a good strong 5 minutes in C2K - 5 minutes was easy. Then it…
