  • This isn't really a response to the calorie burn question, but more of a comment related to what you said about the blisters. If you're getting blisters from the arches in your shoes, maybe you're not wearing the right type of shoes for running? If I were you, I'd go to a running store, and have one of the employees check…

  • That's great for you and your husband. And I completely agree that by setting a good example for our kids, they'll follow in our footsteps. My dad was a snacker, and I think that's the reason I really struggle and have to convince myself not to eat whatever is around just because it's there. My wife and I have found that…

    in Hi Everyone - where are you from? Comment by cdclark81 May 2011
  • You've taken a great first step in reaching your goal. I also read that you mentioned diet and exercise in your post, which is great because you can lose a little weight by dieting and a little weight by exercising, but it's not until you combine both that you'll achieve real results.
