This is so encouraging. I am also planning on my first 5K. I have been doing the C25K app and I have run into some issues with shin splints. I echo the recommendation on the shoes. I am currently 221 lbs and have enjoyed the C25K program so far. I am in the 2nd week after a few setbacks and my 5K is on September 24th. I am…

I know this is an older post, but I love this show for a multitude of reasons. The last few people have let me know that a lot of this struggle is mental. The first two people blew me away with their results!

Hi, I am about 3 weeks into NS and I do love it! I am a mom of 3, 2 of which are almost 3 month old twin boys, so I don't have my time to cook/prep. I am down about 6.5 pounds. Some of the food isn't great, but it beats crap food from a fast food joint or a vending machine. I think my biggest struggle at this point is…

I first want to thank you for your post! I admire your openheartedness. I know it is hard to put all of this out there. I also want to say that in doing this post, you are already trying to change your life. You want advice and I believe you are headed down the right "mental" thinking. However, as with most people…

This sounds AWESOME!!

So, you call people right wing extremists and then you try to say this isn't politics. Brilliant!

Great example! I have seen the same thing done with a bar tab.

So, if we tax the rich at "90%", what is the incentive to become wealthy? Why would someone want to work hard to be taxed so much? In my opinion, a percentage of a large number is still bigger than the same percentage of a smaller one. Usually, millionaire work hard for their money and I, for one, think they deserve it. It…

I think this is all great. I do like what epido said about realizing how much more we can do. I think this is part of the somewhat never-ending goal setting because honestly we don't give ourselves or our bodies enough credit for what they can do. One of my favorite quotes is "You are stronger than you think" and I think…

Happy Halloween

Thanks for sharing! Sounds delicious

Unfortunately, no. But I might get off a smidge early. What are your healthy options for the Memorial BBQ? (assuming you are having one)

I am currently weigh 181 lbs, 5' 8" and am just into a size 12 jean/pant and M/L in shirts. Can't believe I started at 238 lbs and 20/22W jeans/pant. Crazy!!

What isn't a euphemism for sex? ;-)

This is a great list. 1. I workout in the morning. It GETS DONE this way! 2. I agree with putting on your gym clothes before actually going to the gym. If you are sketchy on going, just put on your gym clothes...you will want to go!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Does that make me nerdy? (more importantly, what is the question?)

There are so many....Brave....that is my final answer. Do you drink coffee or tea?

Yeah, I probably should have gone to the Doctor to get stitches. I didn't think it was that deep or bad, but it has been a month and I still have a decent scab. Oh, well!

So, I am totally a newbie. I passed my On-Ramp class today to become an official Crossfitter! I can't believe I saw a burpee as someone's favorite exercise. Burpees and box jumps, I do NOT like. Of course, I torn my shin up pretty good trying to do a box jump (20"). A lot of the lifting I really like. Pull-ups I have a…

I just finished my On-Ramp course. I think I love and hate Crossfit! I would love to get support and friends from this community. Feel free to add me!

These are all AMAZING NSVs. I have 2. First is I have NOT died during my on-ramp Crossfit classes, despite what my brain tells me. I am learning so many things and discovering I am STRONG!! Second, I actually missed working out this morning in the Crossfit class. They were running a little behind so they cut the WOD…

This is actually a tough question. Laying in the sun would mean I have a bunch of free time, but I would rather be productive so...FINAL ANSWER: Doing yard work. Have you ever been so sore from a workout you had a difficult time doing a normal activity (i.e. walking, picking up children, washing your hair, etc)?

This one had me thinking, but here it is: "Every day may not be good, but there is good in every day!" What was your hardest workout?
