Started exercising now gained 2 pounds.
I recently started back watching my diet and this past Saturday I finally worked up the nerve to go to the gym. I have gone everyday with the exception of one. I got on the scale this morning and have gained 2 pounds since last Friday. Feeling very discouraged. I have kept my calories within the 1250 range and have not…

Couldn't finish c25k on day one:(
I set out this morning excited to start the program but got half way into it and was wiped out and had to stop. My neighborhood is hilly but just feeling overwhelmed again like I won't ever be able to run. I have been going to our local gym about 3-4 days a week and doing 15-20 minutes on the elliptical. Any advice?

Teach me to breathe
I have worked my way up to being able to run (slowly) 2-2.5 miles. I feel like I could go farther if I could teach myself how to breathe properly. I usually end up taking shallow quick breaths. Is there any tips or techniques to get past that kind of breathing? I concentrate but still end up not being able to breathe from…

Can this really happen?
I had two days of bad eating. Dont look at my diary I didnt really keep track. Is it really possible to gain 3 pounds from going off of your diet for just one weekend? If that is the case it is very discouraging:( I am back on track today but couldnt believe that the scale went up that much... Anyone else had this happen?

Trouble breathing
I feel as if I can't ever get enough breath in when I am walking fast and jogging on the treadmill. My nose feels as if it is closing up and I end up breathing through my mouth and it gets very dry even with gum. I can usually inhale ok but find myself with short expiration and kinda start into a hyper ventialating state.…

Will it always be this way?
I was out of town for a funeral and did not have a chance to run. I had previously worked up to running for 20 minutes without stopping. I got on the treadmill last night and thought I was going to die. I walked and ran but only ran a total of 11 minutes. Will it always be this way if you have to take a few days off or…

4.0 "jogging"
I am trying to be a runner. Mind you I use to be able to only jog/run for a minute on the treadmill and now I can go 11-12 minutes. The problem is that my max speed at this point is only 4.0 This is so discouraging because that's also the speed I normally walk. It is a lot harder trying to jog at that speed for whatever…

H20 stupid ?
I have a question. I absolutely loathe water but I can tolerate it if I add one of the drink mixes. I think they have 5 calories per glass. Is this still considered getting my water intake or not really? Sorry just wondering what your thoughts were on this matter.:embarassed:

Can shoes really make that big of a difference?
I ran/jogged for 15 minutes today and shortly afterwards my left hip/socket area is extremely painful. I have heard shoes can make or break you but then I thought maybe its my running form or lack there of :)

Best affordable, durable ear buds.
Anyone have any suggestions for a good but reasonable pair of ear buds? I have gone through about 4 pair because they always seem to short out near the plug in part. I am not rough on them they are just cheaply made I guess. I don't mind spending a little more but want them to be reliable. I did buy one pair but they were…
