  • I started on Monday. Last night I did W1,D2. So far I have made it through about 3/4 of both workouts without any problems and then I find myself really having to push myself mentally to finish during the last 1/4. I am proud that I made it through both workouts without stopping early or walking when I should be running,…

  • Hello! I am starting this week. I'm planning to do Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings because it works in my schedule better. Does anyone have experience running in the cold? They're predicting a high of 32 tomorrow and I'm a bit concerned. Don't have access to an indoor treadmill. By the way, the app I'm using is…

  • I am starting this week! I am excited!

  • I am also starting C25K. I downloaded the 5K Runner app and tried the first workout last night. (They have a free version that only includes the first two weeks of workouts. You can try if first and see what you think. That's what I did. After I tried it I downloaded the full version.) I am going shopping for running shoes…

Plus I was diagnosed with Lupus 17 years ago and ever since then I've been afraid to push myself thinking I might trigger a flare up of the disease. I realize this is irrational and exercise would…
  • HI there! I have had Lupus SLE for almost 17 years and I have been on Hydroxychloroquine for most of that time (except for when I was pregnant). I'm not sure if it helped or not, but I will say that my Lupus has been well-controlled and almost invisible for most of the time. Hard to say if I just have a mild case or if it…

  • Hello there! My name is Laura and my story is similar to a lot here. I just turned 47 and I need to lose about 40-45 lbs. just to get back to a normal BMI. I just started a reboot of my wellness plan. I've tried several changes in the past (I lost 20 lbs on Weight Watchers a couple of years ago and gained it all back plus…
