Yes -- I went to the running store near me (Marathon Sports). I guess I was wondering if other people have the same discomfort when they get started - this pain is new to me but I have never started from the beginning the way I am now. I have been off the track for at least three years.

I have the Fitbit Flex (bracelet) -- have had it two days. Love it! Still getting to know it but already know I'm going like the info it provides :)

I didn't think of the 30ds -- I have it here. Maybe that is a good place to start. Thanks for the replies.

bump for later. thanks

Bump to open later ... THANKS.

bump to open at work. My new OS does not support excel

/\ this /\ ....maybe it is because we both play tennis?? that little yellow ball gets a lot of my aggression each week. however, many of you have made me cry and a few have made me laugh. I wish you all peace xoxo

I also got a Garmin (405cx) and would like to know if any of you ever use the HRM for things other than running/biking. I play a lot of tennis and box - would love to know my burn for this events.

Anyone??

Big fan here. They played a great game.

This post is just what I needed this morning :)~ ... Slowly sipping coffee ... Turning on the griddle now OP i suggest you modify your consumption to match your weightloss. Drinks hit me a lot harder/faster last night than in the past. Two reasons I suppose - I weigh less and I drink less often. Have a blast Sunday. Edit…

agree :)

I have learned a lot from this post and I want to let you know how much I appreciate you coming back into the thread without guns blazing. All too often a poster who is corrected takes it personal and what could be a great post turns into a fight.

As a general statement, in my business I see a lot of personal financial information and just because you drive it does not mean you own it or can even really afford it. 100% true. Especially shoes. OP I assume you must work hard to have the car and while I do think her comment was out of line I applaud you for not…

My husband (who has lost 45 lbs) made a comment last night that his shoes felt like clown shoes because the were suddenly too big.

Try dropping the processed carbs all together. Do not replace them with something else that's processsed. If you do need a bread we like Udi's. It is the only brand that can make it to lunch in my daughter's bag without crumbling.

My daughter and husband have celiac and as a result my daughter never drank dairy products so she is GFCF. We all eat mostly natural unprocessed foods.

I am a big jillian fan but also like cathe friedrich and was using her dvd's long before jillian was on the scene. now i use both.

great idea ...

/\ same /\ I did have surgery on one foot and every once in a while have a ping in the other foot. Trying hard not to have the surgery there too. I have centre started running again. 3 miles.

Bump so I can come back tomorrow I have a spin bike I love as well as a trainer. Don't know the name of either one. Will look tomorrow.

Wow. Cool. I see your challenge. Lovely place tho. Have you always lived there? So different from where I live.

So sorry!

My Husband stopped snoring as soon as he reduced his carbs. He subsequently lost weight (-45 lbs) and is still no longer snoring. For my husband there is a definite link between carbs and snoring.

One more tip -- If you are running outside try using telephone poles as a guide. Run two walk one. Run three walk one. Might be easier than counting.

Wow. Good for her. My bother, his wife and their oldest ran for the Samaritans. I did the PMC instead. Not sure I have 26.2 in me. Keep me posted if she is running again next year I will donate.

OP-- Great job. That will build your endurance slowly and before you know it you will be running more than walking. No need to bring water with you at this stage. Good luck - keep it up! doornumber3. Love the profile pic. What marathon did your wife run? I'm in MA too.

My diet is 80% free from junk. I do my best not to eat anything artificial. Every meal for me is centered around protein - lean red meat, chicken, white meat turkey, fish, tuna canned in water, eggs, hard cheese. Then I add fibrous carbs such as broccoli, asparagus, green beens, celery, spinach, kale (I get as much green…

go to a true running store for a fitting (for me it is marathon sports). there are shoes for all kinds of feet and at a running store they are trained to help you find the right one. If your budget is tight don't buy it at that time as they will only have the latest and greatest colors and styles. instead go home and…

ARGH - i am doing 30DS as well. Thought I had ripped in 30 but do not. OP -- Should we stay with this group or star our own? 173 weight today 38.0 waist 22.5 thigh 41.0 hips 34.0 chest 38.0 breast I took pics and will use for before/after when I am done.
