If you're on Facebook there are several running groups that are amazing. Two that I would recommend are Pathetic Runners and Women's Running Club. Both are very supportive and I've learned a lot from them.

Good job! I started running a couple years ago and I have learned that I HATE the treadmill! Every minute seems like an hour. I much prefer being outside. So much in fact that when I was training for a half marathon last winter I was running outside in 10 degree weather. If there wasn't snow, I was outside. But sometimes I…

WOW! Thanks for posting this. It gave me a whole new outlook for the end of the day when I think I have calories left....I probably do not.

Night owl which is made even worse when my husand is working his midnight turn. When he works days or 3 to 11s I go to bed a little earlier but I can stay up all night. I force myself to go to bed though because it is hard to school my girls if I've been up all night. Even if I go to bed late I have to get up at a decent…

I was the same way. I remember the first time I jogged 3 min and how excited I was. 3 weeks ago I completed my first half marathon (and I never stoppepd running through the whole thing). I am not thin but I am proof that it can be done. One thing I learned was to start slow and learn to control your breathing. Once you…

How do you do this? I added my own exercise and then the calories burned once and it did it but now it won't let me use it again. I can't figure it out.

My HRM says I burn more than MFP gives me. Although sometimes it's not too far off.

I wear knees braces/support to help my knees. A friend of mine who runs (fast) over 50 miles a week told me about them and they have changed my life. The pain in my knees is so much less now. I got mine from wal-mart in the pharmacy dpt for $20 each. They are ACE brand and they have a sleeve you put your leg through. I am…

I add 2 tbs of peanut butter to my oatmeal every morning. I don't even use sugar anymore even when I use sugar-free PB. The PB helps give it sticking power and it's quick and easy. I can't live without oatmeal. I am training for a half marathon and it makes me so hungry and oatmeal has become my go-to meal when I need to…

SO FUNNY!! I think you should get a job as a writer. You have a way with words. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Non scale victory

I think that is a BIG victory!! Good job!

You rock girl! And you look fantastic! Good job!

That's awesome! And special attention froma cute guy is just an added bonus!

That happened to me a few weeks ago, the scle at the dr's office said I was 10 pounds heavier! I started freaking out then calmed myself and just decided that since I have been using my home scale for the whole process then that's the one I am listening to.

I get it too. I am training for a half marathon and it's usually on the day when I add time/distance to my run. I didn't know I needed to eat as soon as I was done if I smelled that though. Great info. Thanks.

That's great!

I am! I have been homeschooling for 9 years. I have an 8th grader and a 7th grader. One of the best choices we've ever made. I love being with my girls and watching them love to learn and grow up at their own pace.
