Running Shoe Suggestions
I'm looking for suggestions for running shoes. Right now I have a pair of Brooks - Ravenna 4's that I love. I'm sad to say they are coming to the end of their life and I need a new pair of shoes. I'm looking for something with a good arch and lots of support. The primary use will be for running; mostly trails and on…

My 1st Summer NSV
I get to wear cute cloths this summer! I went to Macy's yesterday (big sale) and everything I tried on (size L and 12) fit me. I didn't have to choose between a couple of items that fit me and sort of looked okay on me. No, /I/ got to choose what to buy from /everything/ I picked up.

Size 12
I never thought I would be in size 12 cloths ever again. I can't believe 250 days ago I was having a hard time fitting into 18's.

NSV - From size 18 to 12
In August 2012 I was wearing a tight size 18. This past weekend I bought a size 12 shirt and just today I bought a size 12 pants. I still have a ways to go to reach my goal, but these little highs along the way make it an easier road to travel.

Not as thin as you thought
Anytime I reach a goal I try on a group of old ‘thin’ clothing to gauge where I’m at in comparison to where I use to be. This past weekend my trainer weighted me in at 189 so I tried on my stack of ‘thin’ clothing and they all fit or were baggy on me. I even pulled out item of clothing that I 'knew' I had been thin while…

Color Me Rad 5 K - June 16
I've registered for the Color Me Rad run on June 16th. I've never done a 5K. I started training last week, running a mile every other day trying to pick up my speed. Has anyone here run a color run or have any suggestions for a successful run? http://www.colormerad.com/race.i?raceid=138&t=Washington_DC

Feeling like I'm going backwards.
I have been so munchie since Saturday. Food is just tasting so good to me and I just want more and more of it. I just hit my six month mark long my fitness journey. I"m left wondering if I'm trying to self sabotage. I don't understand my mind set as of late. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I don't want to go…

Christmas Ideas - Recommend a Fitness item.
I started working out/losing weight starting in September so this is my first Christmas focusing on fitness. My family asked for Christmas ideas and all I could come up with is ... I don't know exercise stuff. Anyone have an idea of a must have fitness item I should ask for?

Overestimating Calories?
I sometimes overestimate calories in the foods I add to my diary. I reason that sometimes I’m not going to know the true calorie amount and will underestimate. Does anyone else do this? Will it lead to problems in the future?

What type of exercises do you do?
I've just started exercising for the first time a month ago. So far I'm going to a weekly spin class, I a have a training session with a trainer once a week and I've done yoga a couple of times. I also go run on the treadmill for an hour twice a week. I'm trying to go to the gym 4 times a week for an hour. What is everyone…

Motivation Needed - New to exercising
Yesterday was the first day I have every walked out of a work out class. I started working out a month ago and I no longer want to be fat. The trainer was doing lunges and my knees just started to hurt and I put up my barbells and left. I felt so defeated. I’m so worried that I’m going to slip and end up back on my couch…
