Awesome suggestions. Also any tips where to buy some used sports equipment. Like steppers, ropes Trx. I don’t have these yet.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have been running 3-4 times last 2 weeks. Hopefully I get back in a routine!

I typically do body pump. I have never lifted free weights. Where do I start?

Thank you all!! I am so frustrated with my belly. It's been my worst problem area. My legs, calves, butt is so toned with running. The damn belly:( I will look into calories deficit more carefully now. Looks like that's my only hope.

Do you guys not get hungry with calorie deficit. How to train for a half marathon And maintain a eating with a calorie deficit.

I dont own a food scale and I also dont really measure much. I just have lacked the discipline. I do excecise very regularly and eat mostly healthy. But i tend to eat more than I burnt off in calories hence the huge belly?

I did try artificial sweeteners but it just made the coffee taste so bad and gave me headaches. Today I went from 1.5 spoons to 1 spoon. Hope I can gradually go to no sugar completely. My big belly makes me look 5 mo preggers. I struggle so much with food.

Thanks! I will look into this for sure. I do have a library card.

Thanks all. Some good ideas!!

Friends I did my first 10k in 1:01:19. I was hoping for 1 hr so this is pretty close. I slowed down around both water stations so that maybe cost few mins here and there. Thank u again for your tips. I decided to not run at all last 2-3 days and I seemed to have conserved my energy. It was great. I am looking forward to my…

you all are amazing support here. I am looking forward to it tomorrow. Will post my results. thanks friends.

Thank you all. Getting pumped for my race. I will just do a short 3 mile run tomorrow and that's it before Sunday.

I am in So Cal too. I was very committed too but somehow it all slowly faded with summer schedules, crazy heat in SO Cal. All my friends took motivation from me. I looked so darn fit earlier this year. Ran a few races too. Since July its been a downhill. Hopefully I will find the will power to get back in routine.

Awesome! It's no NSV:) I did 5k under my goal of 30 min and i know how awesome that felt. My next challenge is a 10k and then a half. Looks like you were well prepared and executed fabulously. Do you have a training plan that you can recommend. Or any of the internet. Any other resources that you can suggest will be great…

For those thinking abt it, please register for one. The feeling of pride is such a great motivator. It's no more about dieting, weight loss, working out. It's such a different genre of activity that it will boost your confidence multi folds.

It doesn't! Just a number-2.5, 5, 10..

Thank you all. I think I have to try the following 1. Really count my calories 2. Lift heavy. I do body pump regularly and I do the same weight every time. I will be getting a scale soon. I just do mindful eating but never really track down anything to the dot. I do have 2 kids and will check for diastasis recti test as…

Thank u!!

Thanks all. I did go to gym today . Got hi e super Kate but I did it.. Need a consistent routine to get back on track.

i am such a mess right now. I have been doing strength training, yoga, pilates etc.. but my tummy has just grown in size. I really need to watch my diet. I am relying on exercise to help but may be its my diet : ( I eat very healthy to begin with. the only bad stuff i do eat is sugar in my coffee (3x/wday). any tips on…

Thank u.. That's what the hesitation of spending $200 on DVDs. I just need cardio for now. I do have an elliptical at home. Collecting dust :(

Bump I really need to do this :)

Will surely try this. 20 min cardio after weights. I think that should definitely help. Thank u all!

I think I need to add20-30 cardio and some calorie deficit. Thank you all:)

Bump and thank u!!

Thanks for accepting my friend request. So we in from tomorrow? To keep each other accountable, should we send a personal MSG after doing 30 day shred?
