I'd love an add! It's so helpful to have other people on my feed that in itself can be helpful as well as the encouraging comments.

50+ pounds here as well. And just getting back to it..looking to add new friends for accountability/diary. Will add you!

Add me please! My diary is open and just starting to get back in the swing of things.

I am working on the C25K after having my baby. Really could use the extra encouragement, also!

You are truly an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! :drinker:

I love running in the cold, as long as it's not actively sleeting or snowing. It's snowing this morning and it's also pretty slick outside. I won't run in this because I'm not willing to risk injury. I tend to push myself harder when it's cold.

Definitely have your gait assessed at a running store. That's going to be your best best for stability and to help reduce injury. I LOVE Asics Kayanos, but I also went through gait analysis and everything. They have been the best for me and I have tried many different kinds. Someone mentioned how they didn't feel Nike's…

I sent you a PM.

Feel free to add me!! My mfp friends make all the difference! I work a crazy schedule, also, so I completely understand. Hope to see your request! :)

I definitely agree with all of the above statements on going to a running store. Any running store that you go to should be able to assess your gait and how you proportion your weight while standing. Personally, I have always had the best luck with Asics Kayano's. Good luck and enjoy your running!

You look amazing!!! Great job!!!!

Feel free to add me! 30-something working mom of an amazing little guy and wife to a wonderful hubby! Becky :)

Hi and welcome!! You can do this! Just stay focused and determined. My mfp pals are my lifeline's some (most) days! :) Feel free to add me, if you'd like! \ Becky :)

A testament to incredible love and incredible commitment. Absolutely beautiful!! This is one of the most uplifting things I've read in some time. Thanks for sharing!

Loved reading this!!! So motivational! I'm glad we're mfp friends!

There is a great routine that I like for the butt/ham strings on Slim in 6 from Beachbody. I don't know the specific exercises, but those are killer. You do have to kneel and don't know if that is something you could tolerate.

Feel free to add me! Love to have friends to encourage and be encouraged by. I am on everyday. Good luck to you on this new part of your life. Yeah!!!

Eating large amounts of protein will also do this, especially if you aren't getting the protein balanced out with other nutrients.

I usually buy whatever is on sale at Target for my workout clothes. However, I am large chested and so I choose to spend alot more on my sports bra. The brand I use is Shock Absorber and you can buy it from Bare Necessities, online. They run around $70/piece, but are so worth it. I have never had such a good, supportive…

Feel free to add me! I have a group that is awesome! I haven't been doing this for very long, but I do log in every day. Love having new mfp friends so we can help each other on the way.

You are an inspiration!!!

Hi! I'll send a friend request. I haven't been doing this terribly long, but log in everyday and think that the encouragement we receive from each other is what helps the most!

I suffered a stress fracture in my right foot back in Nov of last year and it has taken an insanely long time to heal. I just started back this past week and will be on Day 3 of Wk 1 starting Monday. On the other days I do strength training. I don't want any more injuries. Good luck to everyone!

Thank you both SO much for responding!! It feels so good just to know that there are others who are in the same position. We do live to larger towns, that I could drive to, but it literally takes me a minute and a half to walk to work. :) Kind of hard to let go of that and just keep trying to be patient until a spot comes…

Thank you! Those are some ideas that I have not thought of. No, as of right now I can't get off nights. I've been waiting almost 2 years for a day position to open up. We are a critical access hospital in a rural area and we have a very low turnover. I am just going to continue to be persistent and WILL accomplish my goals.

HI Shannon! Way to go for being persistent and welcome! I'm fairly new to MFP, so feel free to add me!!

Feel free to add me! I'm in the same boat as far as not alot of extra support around me. It's so helpful to have a support base. Good luck to us! :)

Friend request sent! We all need that extra support and motivation!

Always looking for help and inspiration!! Sent a friend request. :)

Hello everyone! My name is Becky and I am so excited to continue my weight loss journey. I am a night shift nurse, so I struggle constantly with eating healthy and most of the time I don't eat enough. I am currently working on the C25K program and Brazil Butt Lift. They're both great workouts and I really enjoy both of…
