  • I can't say I'm "hard core" but I have run a lot in my life, so I'll offer my advice and you can take it or leave it! I would first suggest that you consult a great website like http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/07/17/how-to-go-from-sedentary-to-running-in-just-five-steps.aspx -- that is Dr. Mercola's…

I hate to say it, but I think the best option is to have ONE piece and savor it.

  • whoa, the answers to my next reply were answered before i could hit "post reply" -- i like this place, instant gratification! thank you for the warm wishes! i'm a bit of a hermit (mom to three under age 5) so this place is my new go-to for support and contact with adults. :smile: I still can't figure out how to change the…

  • Phew! What about friends -- when I add friends, what can they see? I don't see any links to discuss privacy stuff. I'm not a weird binge eater, just for the record -- but I occasionally have a whole day that would completely embarrass me (maybe, say, yesterday?) and the amount that I rebuke myself is enough, I'm not ready…
