We just took the kids to Disney World in April. We live in the mountains in Virginia.

When I was 22 I gave up a very rowdy lifestyle and lost all my friends. Started going to church and met some amazing women! Much easier to make friends in that type of setting. But that's just me. At work, I'm the boss so I have no friends there. The ladies I'm friends with (some better than other) get together once a…

Something I learned over the years, you can't believe everything you read. Just because you have a PHd doesn't mean you are really intelligent or that you necessarily know what you're talking about and I'm going to die of something one day and if people continue believing all the bull**** they read and see on the news then…

I just completed my first 5k two weeks ago. Only goal was to finish without walking, which I accomplished. Take your time. Set your pace, enjoy the experience! Have fun!

<that good? I know you like feet too. ;)

Clinique!

I ran my first 5k Saturday. My goals were to not walk and to finish, that's it. I didn't care where I finished, or that my time wasn't great, or that people in their 60s and 70s finished before me. I set a goal and met it!

That's awesome! I bet it made his day. You may never know for sure but THAT may be something that will push him to race again!

I had a great run! Time wasn't great but it wasnt about the time. It was about finishing it without walking. I can mark this off my bucket list now. So glad I did it. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks everyone! I'm excited, nervous and who knows what else right now. Going to leave in about an hour and half to get there early.

I paid $340 for 10 sessions and LOVED my trainer. He never gave me the same routine twice, always kept me going, pushed me, never let me give up or say I can't do this. Best advice I can give, watch how they train other clients at the gym, make sure they are in shape and try them for a couple of sessions. It's worth every…

I'm honestly not sure what to say. I have IBS and exercise doesn't typically cause more problems with it for me. You need to learn to eat healthier, stay away from raw veggies and this will probably help. (not sure how you eat now) sometimes you just need to push through the pain too, you'll know when you've honestly done…

I have that problem and find that rest is the best thing. I've done therapy, shots, meds everything. I modified some of my exercises but when it comes down to it rest is the best thing. I work in a restaurant and for a year I was doing the same repetitive movements, reaching back onto a shelf to get plates and it caused…

You're losing your butt!!!! Yippee!

I love to cut zucchini, squash and Visalia onion up, throw in pan with a little olive oil and soy sauce, teriyaki and garlic salt with parsley. Cook most of it so its still crisp but not raw. Pull out what you won't eat right now and save for later in the week. cook the rest till its as soft as you like. Very good. Save…

Several in my Fl would definitely be on this list!

I'm a little worried to about getting out on the road too that I might get stuck. Lol. I've put my husband on warning that once I do get outside he may be coming to get me somewhere down the road. Have to find a safe place to run.

Ok to help answer questions: I had a bowl of pintos, cornbread and some cooked apples about an hour and half before I ran. I had already drank 8 glasses of water. I warmed up and stretched before the run. And when I stopped I walked another two laps (1/4 mile) after. Ate a banana after i was done. I'm running on the indoor…

Why not just do it in the shower? All problems solved. Right?

Run.

Mandy! That's amazing! Sometimes it's not about just the pounds, you look great girl!

El_guapo....love that you call yourself el guapo :) Janet...love your reasons for getting healthy.

Why would that be a secret playlist?

Start with not believing in Vacation mode in regards to eating. Just because you go on vacation you don't have to eat bad. I went on a cruise last year 3 weeks after I started using a personal trainer and changing my diet and I lost weight. It's a mindset. Good luck.

Looks like you've already made up your mind. I've worked with sports meds docs, you'll be better off in the long run resting. You may want to participate in this marathon but is it really worth injuring yourself further and not being able to do anything for months??? Probably not.

I cut it up add garlic with parsley, teriyaki and soy and sautée till crisp tender. My fav is summer!
