How about a challenge? Try it for 30 days and then report any criticisms you may have. :)

Two things: First If you eat HEALTHY meaning no processed crap, whole foods, lots of fresh foods then Paleo is for you. "Paleo" is just a name..i agree that people are getting all caught up in the caveman thing. I just recently watch "Forks Over Knives" and if that doesn't get ya motivated to make some kind of change to…

Thanks to everyone for your support and comments..I really do appreciate it. Let me clarify a few things: My weight has been an issue for a good 5 yrs if not longer and it wasn't until January of this year when I switched Dr's that someone finally listened to me. He checked all my blood work and according to him, all is…

I haven't read anything about cutting out carbs at all...you just get them from a different source.

I am 43 yrs old...I started running last August, I started with the C25K program. On October 7 I ran my first marathon !!! YAY!!!!! Woo Hoooo!!! I've run 4 half marathons, 10k's, 10 milers, 5 milers, 5k's, trail runs and obstacle runs too. Running is freaking awesome! Enjoy it! Friends are always welcome!!!! You can never…

Thank you caribougal! I will definitely join..I'm gonna need some support! I'm not looking for a quick fix, I just want to see some kind of improvement over time with honest effort! Thank you again!

The concept of the diet doesn't seems stupid to me at all actually. It's probably one of the less complicated plans out there. I have tried several approaches to calories in and out...Ate calories back...not eat calories back, increase calories, decrease, zig zag, used TDEE, etc. I'm exactly where I started and pretty…

I'm an Ohio person and I ran the entire winter without fail...rain or snow! I got a set of Wintertrax for $13 and they are sooo awesome! Check them out:…

Hi there. Compresssion sleeves are AWESOME! I don't wear the socks just the sleeves and they are a life saver!! I recently got some on Amazon...MUCH cheaper.. I tried them yesterday on a mile run and will never take them off! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080Q19NS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

GET FITTED FOR SHOES!!!!!! If you haven't already..just a pair of shoes can be ALLLLLL the difference in pain and having a good run!!!

If you want to run a marathon then it is a marathon you shall run!!!!!! Do it! I'm 43 years old, I started running one year ago and I am training for my first full marathon in exactly 2 months! (Holy bat crap!!) Oct 7th! Since I started running (I'm a C25K graduate) I've run many 5k's, 10k's, trail runs and 3 half…

I am 43 years old and August 21st of last year I started C25K. I did my first 5k on Oct 30, 2011. Since then I have done... 5 mile cross country runs,countless 5k's, couple of 5 milers, several 10k's, THREE half marathons, trail runs, Warrior Dash and I am now training for my first marathon relay, my 4th half marathon and…

TOO MUCH TOO SOON!!! BIG BIG reason shin splints happen..I get them often. Ice packs every night or several times a day if you can. Get OFF the roads!!! Find trails, dirt, crushed limestone! It's worth it even if you have to drive a little bit to go run.

I just finished my 3rd Crossfit workout and IT IS AWESOME!!!!!! AND I AM AWESOME BECAUSE I DID IT! Not only is the best way to workout, it is sooo empowering to finish this workouts in your way. I hadn't a clue that I could do 70 burpee box jumps. HHEELLOOOOO!!!! Do it do it do it do it

Okay...I'm noticing that several people here are eating close to 2000 calories...I'm a runner too, training for my first full in Oct. I have completely plateaued on my weight loss and am absolutely TERRIFIED to up my calories. I've been eating about 1570 recently and haven't lost a single pound. I stay between 162-166 and…

I started C25K last August. The longest I could run was 5 min w/out stopping. I now run for about 2 1/2 hours. I've completed 5-6 5k's, a 10k trail run, 2 5 mile cross country runs and in April two half marathons. And I'm 43 yrs old. I'll be running my first marathon on Oct 7th. You can do anything you set your mind to.…

C25K!! It doesn't take as long as you think and it's only 30 min 3x per week!! I started last August and this April I ran 2 half marathons! It can be done !!!

OMG! Not only can I COMPLETELY understand every word you said.....I have that EXACT same dress and I use that EXACT picture as a reference!! HAhahahahahaha! I'm a runner too and I started running because everything else bored the hell outta me too. I started in August 2011. On April 1st I ran my first half marathon..I…

Absolutely get fitted! You don't have to buy your shoes there! This is what I did...went to get fitted..wrote down the shoes that I really really liked then researched them on Amazon and found that a lot of the time they are cheaper. Also, ask them to show you models from last year, they're perfectly fine and are much…

I am proud to say I am a C25K success story. I started the program last August and it's transformed my life. I tried many different programs and such before starting to run and it just didn't make me as happy as I am now when i run. It was tough in the beginning but I pushed thru and don't regret it. GET FITTED FOR SHOES…

I suggest running 3 times per week...rest in between and maybe cross train 1-2 days

HI! I'm with ya all the way!!!! I have my first half on April 1st. (friend me if you like :) I know that my leg muscles are much more defined and despite running 18-30 miles per week I'm not losing either. I don't eat back all of my calories on long run days but i do make sure I log Gu, energy beans, etc. to be sure I'm…

GO FOR IT!! I started C25K in August...had never run before...I finished it. This past Sunday I ran 11 miles w/out stopping. I will run my first half marathon. If you follow the plan and get fitted for good running shoes it can change your life! Good luck

Get to a running store to get fitted for shoes!!!!!!! TRUST ME!!

I'm not sure how anyone on here can actually say "go to the doctor but don't rush"!! Seriously, Googling symptoms is fine if you have a toe fungus!!

OMG!! Go to the Dr as soon as you can..this DOES NOT sound like something you want to ask a million strangers. Get to the DOCTOR!!!

Mine is TODAY!!!!!

Just do it!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your input ! :) For me it's a soreness...not a pain. just hadn't felt soreness there before and was curious. I do stretch..however, I admit I probably need to stretch much more than I do. I need to implement that into my daily routine.

I'm in.
