A 'light' 20 minute run!!
I just have to share my amazing experience yesterday. As I was planning my running schedule this week (Week 8), I decided my 3-28 minute run days, and then decided to throw in a 'light' 20 minute run on a day when I'm working late. Then I had to start crying and laughing because I spent 5 (well, 6) solid weeks afraid of…

Workout/sweating and skin/hair problems-need advice
I haven't been much of a "sweater" for 20 years now and am having trouble adjusting. Any ladies out there have tips for my developing (face) acne and trying to limit washing my hair to 3-4 times a week? My face feels greasy all the time (I use a scrub 3x/week, and towellettes the other days). I have naturally curly hair…

When can I start again??
I did week 7d2 a week ago Sat and have been sick since the following Monday. It's been in my lungs 6 days now, and I am starting to feel better. Still coughing a lot, but very little wheezing. Think I can head back tomorrow and if so, I'm thinking about doing W7D3. All opinions appreciated.

Yeah, well if I was skinny...
I just had a bit of a lightbulb moment-there is a supper-skinny gal in my neighborhood than runs like it's her job, I've seen her out more than once in a day. Anyway...I remember last fall (super couch potato) thinking "I'd run too, if I was that skinny". It just today occured to me that she might be that skinny BECAUSE…

Week 5 Day 3 FINALLY!!
Today was the day!! After two (warm-up) attempts, I did it today. I was starting to get worried as this was only the 2nd day I have had to repeat, and a little down. But then I realized if I didn't keep trying, I would never know. Plus I read a lot on here from people who said it was the hardest day of the program, I'll…

I got 'high' today!!
I have been begging/praying for the day I would experience a runners 'high' as I am not a fan of jogging and wanted to know if i could get 'addicted' and actually look forward to the gym someday. Well, today's the day!!! I'm on Wk5 Day1 of C25K and it happened. I had to stop myself from crying I was so excited. There have…

Thankyou thank you!!
Today was Week 3 Day 1 of my C25K program. I was sure this would be my day of defeat, (after 2 previous attempts in the last 3 years) either by not even attempting it, or failing when I did. Despite my 'app' not working, I made it!!! And it was your motivational quotes that got me through. Particularly "if it was easy,…

NSV-not just a notch on the belt!
My first post! I starting the C25K two weeks ago and MFP 2 months ago. After having some friends say I looked thinner yesterday, I got a little crazy and put a belt on this morning. I haven't had a belt that would even fit me in 2 years, and had stopped trying sans one tear inducing incident 3 months ago. Not only am I…
