I've tried walking a few times in my life. I'd always go a few weeks and then end up with really sore feet. In the end, I bit the bullet and bought some brooks running shoes. So far, so good - more weeks using them than not. When it comes down to it, if you really pay attention, you can feel the strength of the sides of…

Thanks for the tips so far. I think it really comes down to what makes you happy. I'm willing to say what some people maybe can't? I don't know the answer to that right now. That's why I'm on the site working hard on my weight. That has made me so unhappy (plus a bad relationship for many years) I don't really remember…

Excellent- I concur about the alone thing. It's so hard sometimes. Glad you've made your breakthough - and knowing that helps me with mine :)

I stopped drinking 5/2 - had one slip up about 3 weeks ago, and am still dry. I applaud your desire! You can do it man. As someone said to me once: No matter who argues with you, remember this one truth: there is nothing alcohol does positively for you that you can't get by another source - most likely with a lot less side…

Thanks so far for all the tips and encouragement. :) Re: Compression shorts. Fitness being new to me, I thought those were ONLY used for outside your clothes when riding a bike (I'm near a bike trail.) Didn't realize you could/should wear them inside. Old Ayron, Cheeto-eating Ayron, would be surprised that I'm actually…

Hi - I'm not a huge health nut (yet!) so I can't help you with the amount of calories and what not... but I can comment on the emotional part. I think the most important part to think about is what happens when you fail. Everyone fails all the time. So, if you make a mistake, then acknowledge it as that. That was a…

I'll start: *Chafing: Body glide. Amazing thing helps with thighs rubbing together *Hurting feet/shin splints: I spent a little bit extra money on running shoes - even for walking. Find a really good brand/fit (I went to the store - and it was a little embarrassing when I got winded walking the treadmill for testing, but…

Pre-response: I don't have a partner, so I'm not 100% qualified ... but... here goes: I've dealt with people - in general, friends, etc - saying things like that to me. Either offering me more food, laughing at me, or saying sure you'll get better. A lot of posters here have it right. It's secret envy. But, there's one…

I've made a bunch of changes in the way I 'live' - but I have a whole house, so not a lot of this applies. However, you said ONE thing that realllllly coincides with a change I made. It may be difficult for you, but this is important. You said: "there's no way that I can separate where I sleep from where we spend most of…

If I may just add one thing to consider... I don't know your personal story, but I'm thinking a lot of ours here reflect mine. So, I'll give you my thoughts about my previous yo-yo clothes change sizes: - it can be really easy to think "i'm in the middle. I need the interim wardrobe on my way to the pinnacle of my…

Something about our two major food groups - beer and cheese-covered-brats that does it to the wisconsin boys huh? :) I just joined the site - I'll add you as a friend. I'm just starting to ramp up using the site. Tracking food - wow - my mom would be so proud seeing me use these measuring cups and what-not - just not in…
