I only notice water retention after a race or when I do a long run. It usually goes away within a few days. Running has helped me with weight loss by allowing me to eat more.

5/1 - 10 miles (awesome race in the rain, and a new PR for me!) 5/2 - rest 5/3 - 3 miles

In for 80 miles in May!

I'm down 3 inches off my waist in a month :smile:

I started C25K about a year ago, and since then have run in many races, including a half marathon and am doing a full marathon in a few months. My advice is to take it slow. Your speed comes with time. The C25k program does a great job of building your running base. Take your time, get good shoes, and give it time. I agree…

It was boring for me when I started. After a while, I got used to it, and learned to enjoy how wonderful running felt and how peaceful it made me feel. Give it time, and if you end up still not enjoying it, try something else.

I used to get bored during short runs, and so I listened to music. After making myself run for a couple of hours at a time without music, I don't get bored. I look around at the scenery, enjoy the peace that comes with running a far distance, and visualize the entire pint of ice cream I will eat after running 12+ miles.

Kale... I just can't get over the taste. Yuck.

Lots of fresh veggies, more nuts and nut butters, more eggs, more avocados, full fat dairy (goodbye fat free, just can't stand the taste)

I've done both, but prefer MFP. I feel that there is more flexibility, and I can tailor my macros to eat the kinds of foods I want to eat and that will keep me full.

I run mostly outdoors, no music. I like having the time to myself with my thoughts. I haven't used the elliptical in a long time, but I used it a lot before I got into running. I can't do the treadmill. I get super bored and usually talk myself into just going home!

A year ago when I did C25K, I remember not even making it through the first workout and feeling so frustrated. Stuck with it, going to run a marathon in November (and have completed 5 other road races and a half marathon)! Keep going, it gets easier!

In for 60 in April :smile:

I started C25K a year ago, and since then have run in many road races (including a half marathon) and will be completing a marathon this fall. Feel free to add me, I log all my runs here, and provide lots of support to my runner friends.

I used to be terrified to eat anything with fat in it, and now I make sure to eat avocados and nuts because I have found they keep me feeling full and satisfied. As for drinks, much less soda, and much less cream in my coffee (if I put cream in it at all!)

Goals for today: Run a 5K and don't go overboard on take out :smile:

chicken, eggs, greek yogurt, fruit, veggies, milk, oatmeal, and cream of wheat!

In for 45, starting kind of late! 9/8 4 miles

Hi, I'm 21, currently on my own in college. I gained a lot of weight my first two years of college, and have now lost my entire freshman 21 (not 15!!) and am working on getting myself to a healthy weight. I am a long distance runner, which definitely makes staying within calorie limits easier, and I cook most of my meals…

If it's a short workout, like 30 minutes, I am energized. If it's long run day and I'm out there for over an hour, I need oatmeal and a nap after.

I'm in for 10 pounds.

Salmon... I really really really hate salmon.

Long distance running. I never thought I'd be signed up for a half marathon, but I am! I also find myself trying new exercises every week from yoga to rock climbing, but running is still my number one. I love to move now.
