Running Help!!
I just signed on to run a 1/2 marathon relay with my sister on August 17th. I've run 5k's before but it has been a while and I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I have used the couch to 5k running program before but I'm not sure if 15 weeks is enough time to properly prepare myself for what is looking like a fairly…

I have an unhealthy relationship with food
I need advice on how to break up with something that I can't just fully turn away from. I've been in some bad relationships but this is the hardest thing ever. Any other addictive substance can be quit and it isn't needed for survival, can't really do that with food... I know it comes down to my will power and way of…

Lower Back Pain While Running...
There are aspects about running that I love! Largely the sense of accomplishment after finishing something I've set out to do. However, I always end the run with back pain. I've tried inserts for my shoes (the fancy kind you get measured for), motion control shoes, stability shoes, running more on my heel, running more on…

NSV did I really run at 6.5mph?!?!?
I've done Couch to 5k numerous times and I've always kind of plodded along at a barely jogging pace. I've never really pushed myself on it, but this time I'm training for a half marathon and I decided I want to work on my speed because it will help with my endurance as well. So today I decided to run the intervals at 6.5…

New Year, New Pics, New Me
This year is all about me. Surgery to remove my gallbladder went well with no complications and I'm getting back into working out. Started a new gym membership since outside is not a nice place for working out right now and I don't want the weather to be an excuse. Posted new pictures of me on my profile to document what I…

Surgery tomorrow...
Tomorrow morning is the day of my gallbladder removal. It's been a long time coming and I'm kind of excited because I'm using it as a new start for myself. Once I'm able to eat again I'm starting off with fruits and veggies and slowly adding things back into my diet so I can pinpoint what has a negative effect on me. This…

Upcoming Gallbladder Removal
Hey all, so I just got the news that December 17th I'll be going under the...well laser...to have my gallbladder removed. I've heard so many horror stories about the pain, discomfort and inability to exercise or eat after the surgery that I'm kinda terrified. As it stands right now I'm not able to do much more than walk…

For those of you who've done this before...
I was wondering what kind of results everyone has gotten. I know we are all here to lose the weight, but I have a feeling the results to this workout are more noticeable in inches and I was hoping some of you could shed some light on what we can expect as results. If anyone out there is like me, it's discouraging when you…

New member, gonna give this a go
I've tried numerous diets, online communities, gimmicks, blah blah blah. I don't have a tendency to stick with things. I'll call it as I see it and name it LAZINESS. I'm hoping to change my track record.
