I appreciate all the feedback. Today is day 2 with it, and honestly, I don't really notice any horrible side effects, granted most medications take a few days at least to really get going. My mouth has been a little dry, but other than that, I actually feel really good. I know how to exercise, I know how to eat right. My…

Welcome!!! It took me 5 years to get going. I finally started in April and I don't want to stop! You can do it- you are absolutely worth it!!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I find that the more support I have, the easier it is to do this. I've realized that this is a lifetime commitment to change- some…

Welcome! I am in the exact same boat. Age 29, size 26, 175 lbs to lose. If anything, it helps to know you're NOT alone in this journey! We can celebrate the small successes! Feel free to add me as a friend. The more the merrier! And best of luck in your journey!!

I wear a 44DDD so I have a sports bra from Lane Bryant. However, I have learned the hard way that us big girls have to layer. So I wear a regular underwire bra, then the sports bra, and then I have a sports tank from Champion with a built in sports bra. The combo of all 3 really helps keep the bouncing to a minimum!

I hear ya - I can do about 45 seconds of running and I'm spent. So what I've done to start out (considering I weigh over 300 lbs), is I start out at a 2.5 walk, which is relatively slow, but it's a good pace. Then for the first 4 runs I bump it up to 3.5, which is still a walk, but it's a brisk walk. Then after that, if I…

Thanks! That is awesome you're down to a 12 minute mile! I can't even imagine that at this point. Tonight I did 1.5 miles in a half hour. Ugh. But I'm hoping it won't take long to get the full 5k in a half hour!

It's a program that is supposed to get you able to run a 5k in 9 weeks. It's designed for people that aren't avid runners (like me!) It alternates a series of running/jogging and walking, and with each week it has you running more and walking less. The nice thing about the app is you can create your own play list!

Boot camp is AWESOME for just someone just starting to work out. It's tough but it works you up to the more intense stuff. Jillian's Last Chance Workout kicks your TRASH. I love them both - be prepared to be super sore!! I also use the Biggest Loser Cookbook - it's full of easy to cook recipes and way low in calories!

Shoot I had a nice long reply, but I clicked off the page and lost it! haha! Basically it said that I really appreciate the support and it helps to know that I'm not alone in this journey. 15 or 150 lbs to lose...we're all in it together, right? A friend of mine at work posted a sign in my office that says, "Nothing tastes…

I don't know about 24 hour, but I do the Biggest Loser Bootcamp DVD at home and it's total circuit training that kicks your trash. So I would assume it would work out every part of your body!!
