I bookmarked this thread so I can look back at it when I'm having a low day where I just want to eat the contents of the pantry. Congratulations! You look fantastic :)

When I'm out walking and my dog has a liquid event, I try to cover it up with leaves or such. Don't know what I would do if I were on a public street, though! Use a water bottle and try to wash it away? Sorry about the crazy!!

Don't forget to cool down/stretch out after! It makes a huge difference in how sore I am later. I got all the way up to week 7 and then hurt my back really bad (not from running.) I loved the program so much and am SO BUMMED that I'm not allowed to run anymore :( (bum knee)

I'm concerned that you wouldn't get enough protein/fat by eating a raw diet, and too many carbs?

5 pounds of muscle takes up less than 1/4 of the space as 5 pounds of fat! Just take a look at this pic... http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/images/fat-v-muscle.jpg

If you do start to feel discouraged, look back at this success and remind yourself that you can do it! :)

Warm it up, stretch it out, warm it down. Take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or even some Aleve to help with the pain and swelling.

We named our son Damien because we liked the name, and we knew we'd get a good knee-jerk reaction out of people :P When they ask us, "Like in the Omen?" We say, "No, like the saint." LOL! Sometimes you just have to have a sense of humor when you name your kid. I do think that names like "Adolph" and "Lucifer" are a bit…

It's a good idea to use up all of your allotted calories--if you don't eat enough you may find that you plateau. Try adding in a protein bar or another source of protein to try to up your calories. Good luck!

Eat a modest dinner. Make it something that is high in veggies and fruits so you really fill up on it without all the calories and fat (like a salad, light on the lettuce and heavy on the onions, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, apples, etc!) Drink lots of water to purge the salt from your system, too, or you'll feel cruddy…

Gluten-free is good for people who are gluten-intolerant, or have Celiac's disease. Wheat-free is good for people who have wheat allergies. Whole wheat foods are better for you because the grain is less processed, so it has more of the stuff that is good for you! You can get 100% whole wheat foods from just about…

My mom runs 3 miles 3 times a week and is about 180+ pounds; anybody can be a runner! Start out on a treadmill, or a flat path. Grass or dirt is best on knees, pavement worst, but it's still doable. C25k is a wonderful program; I hope you enjoy it!
