Have you tried the Couch to 5K app? It helps you start by mostly walking, and increases how much you run each day. You could move up to 10K after you can easily do the 5K.

I haven't changed my eating at all-this is how I have eaten for 25 years-but I know it's hard to tell from 3 days. I don't have a food scale, but I've measured using a measuring cup. Because I've never had an issue with my weight before, it really wasn't a big deal. I knew how much I could eat and maintain my weight. I…

I've seen thermodynamics mentioned before and I'm wondering if you can help me understand. I have always believed that CICO is the only rule of weight loss/gain. However, I've been going through menopause for several years and I have gained 30 lbs over the last 2 years. I'm 5'4 and have weighed between 120-125 lbs. my…
