Runners, I have a training question
Ok runners. I am training for my third half marathon, but it is my first one in five years. My previous two half marathons I didn't keep to a schedule besides the long runs. This time I am trying to keep to a schedule. Yesterday I ran/walked 4.3 miles at a pace that was almost a minute and a half slower than normal. It was…

I could use some help from Runners, shoe question.
Calling all runners! I am getting close to the max mileage for my shoes. I'd guess around 100 miles remaining. That is roughly 12 weeks for the amount of running I am wanting to do at this point. Do you suggest getting new shoes now and using them a little here and there before my others are retired? Or do I wait and once…

I need some macro help
I would like to start a body recomposition. I am 4 pounds away from my ultimate goal weight and I am not thrilled with how I look. I have had 4 babies and have been told that I will always have the fluffy look because of this. Well, I want to prove them wrong and finally feel comfortable in my body. With the research I…

I want to start lifting but...
I need advice. I have a few questions. First how do you know if you are really lifting heavy?! So if I go and start the Strong Lifts or NROLW how do I know what weights to start with and where to progress to next? (maybe if I get the book it will say but you all seem very knowlegable and can help prepare myself before I…

Running in the winter and in the dark
Can any of you more experienced runners help me out? I'd love to continue running outdoors during the winter. What gear do you wear to stay warm in the winter while you run? Oh by the way I live in MN where it is COLD during the winter. The town that I live in streets aren't well lit and it causes me to run more carefully…

I plan on running everyday…

(Their son has Double inlet left ventricle Syndrom) It has been 10 year since we graduated from high school. Since then I have had 3 children. I (like some moms) put on some weight and had troubles getting it off. In…

Just need a little reassurance...I think?!
I have about 3-8 pounds (have yet to settle on a final goal weight) to lose. So I switched my goal from 1.5 pounds to lose per week to .5 pounds to lose in a week. I am not sure if this is a good idea or not as my body has been living off of 1200-1300 calories for the past 4 months and I will jumping up close to 1500. I am…

Another Venting Session
Monday nights my daughter has basketball practice and we live out of town so instead of making 2 trips into town in one evening I cut it into 1. I decided to fit in my workout while she was at practice. I went to my gym to do the first workout from the NROL for Women and do a quick cardio. So I did my lifting and did a…

I started a new multivitamin today. (Women's One a day) I ate my breakfast and drank a lot of water with it (as it was HUGE). I have been feeling a little queasy this morning. Before I was taking just one Flintsone vitamin (to join with my children's morning routine) but decided I needed to be a big girl and take big girl…

No matter where you started...
If you had/have 5 pounds or 105 pounds to lose, there was a reason why you came here. I am a mother of three girls and a wife to a great man who always says I look fabulous. We both started on here in October 2011. At that point for me was the heaviest that I had ever been not pregnant weighing in at almost 150. I am 5' 7"…
