First 5K!
Did my first 5K yesterday. I'll admit that I didn't train as well as I had planned to... there ended up being no training schedule, just whenever I felt like doing it. So the race starts and within 5 minutes I'm thinking I'm about to die and there is no way I'm going to finish this thing which is when some of the walking…

Looking for a running watch...
Hello runners! I'm unsure if such a thing exists, but here's what I'm looking for... Something NOT too expensive. I've seen the Garmin watches and they are way out of my price range right now. I know it's going to make it tough but I'm looking more in the $20/30 range. I'm not looking for something fancy, I only really…

Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations
Hi all! I'm getting really frustrated with my HRM and am thinking about getting a different one. I currently have a Polar F6 and when it works I love it. My problem is that it doesn't always read me. I can be in the middle of a workout and it drops to zero. I've actually been wondering if maybe it's just too big for me...…

Sortable Grocery List?
Not sure if such a thing exists but does anyone know of a website that you can enter in your shopping list and it will sort it by what section of the grocery store you can find it in? I'm forever making shopping lists and then getting to the end of the store only to run back to find something I missed. :ohwell:

Just about there...
Not quite as drastic as most people's pictures but I'm feeling pretty good about myself. :smile: I just put up before and (almost) after pictures! The wedding picture and the shower picture (the worst!!) are from Oct 2008. The new picture in Disney is from a few weeks ago... the end of Aug 2009. Almost there! :drinker:

Salsa
So I love to snack on chips and salsa... now I'm trying to find something to replace the chips but so that I still get the part I love best, the salsa! Any ideas???

I've become obsessed!
Or so I've been told. But in a good way. Well my mom mentioned to me that she'd like to get in shape and attempt a half marathon next March. Dad and Lil Sis didn't believe she could do it so when she called to tell me about it she asked if I'd do it with her. I said yes, and so now I'm obsessed with getting ready. :laugh:…

Pedometer?
Hey! So I have a Polar F6 and love it but I also want something that will calculate my distance when I'm outside and not on my elliptical. The only thing that I know of that does that is a pedometer. I have had a few in the past but they were cheap and broke pretty easily. I'm looking for something that can take a beating…

I'm impressed with myself!
Not so much in the weight loss, although that's going well too. I've never been able to do more than 10 min on my elliptical machine... and that's on a good day. Today I got on it... and went 30 minutes!!! And I felt like I could have kept going but I didn't want to push it. Maybe if I still feel great this afternoon, I'll…

Just joined!
Only need to lose a small amount but haven't managed to do it yet. I really don't like to exercise and have been trying for the last 3 years to motivate myself to get up and do something. I'll keep at it for a week or two then I slip back into doing nothing. I have cut back on how much food I eat but it apparently hasn't…
