Hi There, I to am on Lisinopril and have a difficult time taking off weight. I am not sure if this is a side effect, it does seem like the weight comes of easier when I am off it, I have gone off for a while too, but my bp requires me to be on it. Even with regular exercise. I like to run too. Anyway, it is a slowww…

So Funny, I had sent your running funny to my running buddies a while back. Love it:love:

I;ve had the Nike+ watch for 2+ years. No problems. At the time I bought it only came with the foot pod too. I find the foot pod not to be accurate so I don't use it. The watch, I believe, can be sold with or without the foot pod now, (save $$$). Anyway, it is useful in tracking time, distance, pace, and you can upload…

Same question! Curious to what other more experienced MFP members think.

You can make your own food for a fraction of the cost of prepackaged. You will have healthier choices. Homemade bread, vs store bought bread with so many chemicals added you can compare bread to a yoga matt! Bag of potatoes $3.00, (at least 3 meals from the bag), vs the frozen packaged potatoes, 1 meal equal $3.00. The…

I will be running my 1st and hope to finish in 3 hours. Is what your saying is it isnt worth it and why bother if your not speedy?

Thank you for taking the time to post. I am training for a half May 19th. I think as soon as I am done with that... I will take your advise. Short distances to work on speed. I have a friend who does belong to a runners club. She has been trying to get me to join, but I was worried I was toooo slow. More running friends…

Sometimes this happens certain times of the month for your cycle. There have been articles for this. I think runners world. If I recall it usually will happen 10 days before the start of your flow. This has happened to me in the past also... Some women try to plan races around this time. Sometimes heavy legs just happens.…

I have been running for 1 1/2 years now. I am still very slow. I love to run and would love to get to 10 minute miles (which I would consider FAZT!) I am usually around 12 MM, however, on long runs I have done 14+MM and that is running not walking. Bottom line is... some people are slower than others. I hope to become…

A year and a half ago, you couldnt have paid me to run. I was 43 when I started running. My only other experience with running was the PT fittness test done yearly. Dreaded it. Anyway, I had lost my sister to breast cancer, and wanted to honor her. A 5K breast cancer Run. I started in Jan., the run was in May. I live in…

I have lost a sister and mother recently to cancer. I have lost grandparents to cancer. In my life of major losses to cancer, trying to live a healthy life might help, but if genetics have a path already written for you.... Enjoy life to the fullest and dont worry about getting cancer! Enjoy your family and friends while…

Green Bay Cellcom, May 19th. Thanks for all your input. Looks like have a harty appetite day after is common. I most definately will try to spread the calories around and quite stressing. I havent lost a whole lot of weight since my training (5 pounds in 6 weeks). I am no longer freaking out because I gain 4 pounds after a…

Yep, I am trying to eat my allowed daily calories and then my exercise calories. (I think that is net). After my run I had 1300+ calories to eat. (i think it would have been difficult except I had drinks and that certainly used the calories). I wasnt that hungry after my run.... But the next day couldnt get enough
-
I ate back all my calories... (Maybe not the best way as I had some drinks with friends that evening). Sunday I was absolutely starving. My cravings were definately protein. Chicken, beans, beef. I had steamed veggis and a potato also. I did go over my caloric intake as I did no exercise yesterday. (Rest and Recovery) I…

I am very slowwww as I only take walk breaks when drinking. (I have not figured out how to drink... even with a runners style water bottle without spilling/dribbling on myself. HAHA). I have been able to get to around 11-11:30 m/miles on my shorter runs... But long is 12:30 to 14:00 ish. I started running about a year ago…

:smile: Thanks for your thoughts.. I am hoping that the extra food is what my body needed as today I seem to be back to normal (I think)
-
I am in the same boat, except my race is May 19th. I ran 11 miles this weekend, last 2 miles was like OMG, how the heck will I do 13.1 .miles. I am a slow runner too. In fact, I think my finish time for the 11 miles was almost exactly yours. Wish you lived near by so I could have a running buddy. Hard to find someone that…

Get a good running sports bra! Try them on before you buy. Jump up and down. If your boobs stay put and dont bounce.... your good as gold. It makes all the difference in the world. PS I am well endowed and I find the bras that have a back hook closure are the easiest for me to get on and off. I once tried a pull over style…

Soreness for the 1st couple of weeks is very normal. With that said, i think you did to much to soon. I would back of the distance and work upto 3 miles. Ive been running for a little over a year now. Everyones ability is different, but I started slow and within a month or two I could run 3 miles comfortably. The test for…

If you are pushing yourself tooooo hard, naseau will occur.(this happened to me also) You may need to start slow and build up your resistance. If you can only do 5 or 10 minutes... its more than what you did before you started. Every day or so add a minute or two. Before you know it you will be able to work out 30 minutes…
