  • Don't give up! I have had to do a LOT of running on a treadmill. I don't love to do it, but I must keep going. Every day is fresh...trade motivation for determination and you will succeed!

  • GU bothers my stomach. I used Sports Beans (like Jelly beans) I also took water on practice runs using a hydration belt and drank at ALL the water stations at the actual Half. The only thing I would do different is -skip the Gatorade. I didn't train with it, but I drank it at the race and my stomach was all kinds of ANGRY…

  • I guess it's taken my kids growing up and becoming more independent for me to realize I needed to get healthy. I'm so thankful to be a fit Momma!

  • You should see a doc...but how are your shoes? Did you get fitted for them? Are they old? *Sometimes* the right shoe makes all the difference.
    in New to Running Comment by ninamm3 March 2012
  • I agree -make sure you have plenty of water before, during, and after. If you're running on an empty stomach try eating something...like a yogurt and banana, peanut butter toast, or something else carb/protein combo.

  • That's fantastic! Looks like it wasn't the best weather that day --and you pressed on! I ran my first Half last October. I'm going back to that same race this year for the Full...I'm scared/excited/crazy. :)

  • I have done WW and MFP in my 45 pound weight loss journey. WW is great for scale accountability, for people who don't know how to eat balanced, and to gain face to face support/ideas from week to week. WW is not so good because it teaches you THEIR values of food (which even they continually change) not REAL values of…

  • I have them too. My "baby" is 8. I also have an 11 and 12 year old. I blogged about my frustration and posted pics of my "flames"...on www.runningsforthebirds.blogspot.com ...The entry is called "The Truth About Skin -Uncovered. I think they fade, but they don't disappear. :(

  • Yes! I have thongs with a wide lace top --and I love them...but I heard thongs were bad. THEN, I went running on the treadmill with them and thought I'd have to have them surgically removed! Seriously! LOL

  • HELLO, my name is Nina and I'm a sugar addict. This is how I detoxed after Christmas. Lots of green tea and water, high protein, and an added fiber called Glucomannan --which stabilizes blood sugar along with many other benefits... therefore helping with sugar cravings. I wrote about it in my blog ...you can find a link to…

  • YOU.ARE.STUNNING!!! I started my journey almost a year ago. Needing to lose 50 pounds. I just graced the door a month ago with the last 10 pounds left to go. My saving grace was running and, MFP of course! I started a blog about half way through just to stay accountable and to encourage other along the way.…

  • What a proud moment for you! I started running this past spring and went from couch 2 5K to Half Marathon in 7 months! It's an incredible feeling. I started a blog to encourage others and journal about my journey through better health and fitness www.runningsforthebirds.blogspot.com KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

  • This is exactly right...tightening skin --if it will at all....will take time and come through strengthening under muscles, drinking lots of water, and eating right!
    in Tightening belly (loose skin) after pregnancies... Comment by ninamm3 December 2011
  • Change your mind about going outside. Get some good compression tights and tops and layer up (old navy.com is cheaper than some others)! You'll burn calories from walking AND from trying to keep your body temp up! IT really is a winning situation. You can do jacks or run in place inside to get the warmth started before you…

  • I'm with you! I have 3 kids and have lost 44 pounds...its lookin' like a flat tire but I also have stretch marks --so its not just the extra skin and lack of muscle that need repair. Anyways, I actually blog and wrote one called "The truth about SKIN- uncovered" and posted pics just to be honest about the transformation I…

  • I've only been running since this spring but did my first half in October. The Detroit Free Press was awesome! Where else can you run in 2 countries AND an under-water mile?! Entertainment and crowd support was very encouraging along the way. I plan to make it my first full in 2013! :)
    in Half Marathon Race Comment by ninamm3 December 2011
  • VERY WELL SPOKEN! Completely agree. Great program. I went from 5K to running my first Half this past year. Stick to it and you'll be "going for a run" in no time. It's all about attitude! :)
