Yay you! :)

I agree with everyone else! Find another doctor and don't give up. You can do this! Feel free to add me as a friend. :-)

I had this problem too when I started running. I take deep breaths and breathe through my nose. Slowing down works too. :-)

Thanks guys! I am definitely going to train for it. I guess I will decide at the end of November. :)

Woot! Woot! Way to go Mark! :happy:

Just wanted everyone to know that I only got about two hours of sleep but I was so pumped up by the crowd that it didn't matter! I ran the entire race, even the incline out of the tunnel. It was awesome! :)

I have been running for almost a year. (October) I take in a deep breath through my nose and breathe slowly out of my mouth. When you are breathing deep, it brings oxygen rich blood to all of your muscles and you perform better. But I also agree that it's conditioning in the beginning. You may want to start off in…

Hey Clau! You have found an amazing site. You didn't deserve to be treated like that from other students or your dad. :( I'm a teacher and I do not tolerate bullying! We are all different and special in our own ways. :) It's going to be hard the first couple of weeks but it will get easier and you will develop a healthier…

I gave in and had a skinny pumpkin spice latte and a salted caramel cupcake. :) We all need our treats every now and then. You'll get back on track tomorrow. :)

Losing one pound a week is awesome! I definitely lose more when I eat my exercise calories back and net at least "1200" a day. Your muscles need to be fed! Sounds like you're on the right track! Good luck!

You're welcome Mark! :smile: I learned a lot too.

Hey Jessica, I suffer too from seasonal depression but mine starts usually in the fall and lasts until early spring. Feel free to add me as a friend. :) Jen

I have several coworkers who did that too but they were also given a couple of other shots. I think one may have been a fat blocker? They also were on a 600 calorie a day diet. Well anyway, they lost the weight quickly but gained it all back as soon as they tried to do it on their own. I guess some people are afraid of a…

Well said! :)

I'm running my second 5k on Sunday. Hydrate really well tonight and in the morning. Eat something light, like a banana before the race. You don't want to be full before the race. Stretch really well before you run. I was nervous at first too but once I saw the crowd of runners, I became excited. Have fun! :)

You are doing awesome Mark and will feel so good when you run your first 5k. I am assisting with a new running club at the elementary school that I teach at. We will run three 5ks together during the school year. I am so stoked! Good luck!

I'm a MFP junkie too! I am on it more than FB but returning to work has slowed me down. Now I only have time to check in after school. :(

Welcome Jenet! I have two teenagers too and it's hard to stick to healthy eating. :grumble: Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck on your weight loss journey. :smile:

I didn't use the C25k program. I just started with intervals of running one minute and walking two minutes. I can now run a 5k (on my treadmill) without stopping. I use the NIke+ Gps app and love it. I also make sure that I have a lot of good music on my ipod. I didn't like running at first, but now I love it. You can do…

I love it when I push myself to run one more mile and I am soaking wet with my effort. It's a great feeling! :)

I feel that way the day after I eat a lot of "wheat" stuff. Drinking a lot of water should also help flush your system.

Go to the gym! I don't have the energy to watch everyone else when I am working out and if I did, it's because I am inspired by them. :) Everyone has to start somewhere. :) If you really don't want to go, walk everyday. You can build up to jogging. :)

Drink lots of water, soak in an Epsom salt bath, and keep moving because tomorrow is going to be worse. :)

I make turkey, ham, and chicken wraps. You can buy the 100 calorie wraps, add the meat, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, black olives, and a low cal dressing. Yummo! A fresh green salad with grilled chicken. A personal pan pizza with fat free mozz, fat free feta, spinach, tomatoes, fresh basil, and black olives. Those are a few…

Hard boiled eggs would be easy to fix the night before. They keep me full longer. Protein bars, granola bars......

I run on my treadmill when its hot and humid outside. I started with running for 1 minute and walking for two. I can now run a little over three miles without stopping. I am much slower outside. Everyone has to begin somewhere. Good luck. :)

Beat pizza ever but way high in calories. :(

Bump for later. :)

You have found a wonderful site. I have been stuck in a plateau since May. Well, I actually gained four pounds although I am 99% of the time under my calorie goal. I was really hoping that it was water weight. lol I am zig zagging now. Hopefully, it will quick start my metabolism again. Good luck on your fitness goals and…

bump :)
