Hi all :) I live in Oakland County Michigan and want to run a 5k next spring. I was wondering if anyone around this area new of good runs or a good website to look up runs.

For people that have lost their weight
Do you ever feel different? I have lost almost 50lbs. I still have a long way to go and maybe that is why I don't but I thought that by now I would feel a bit better with how I look.

So excited! My elliptical/stationary bike came today!
So no one I know really understands the elation behind getting new equipment, lol. I have had a treadmill for awhile now but have been wanting an elliptical. I found one that is a 2 in 1 so it has the elliptical and bike. I saw the FedEx guy pull up to my house and I was jumping up and down like a little kid at Christmas!…

Need help with what to wear...
My husband is graduating with his BA in early June. I would really like to wear a dress/skirt to the commencement but I honestly haven't worn a dress since we got married, which was 5 years ago. I am trying to be confident and not wear my go-to black slacks and a shirt. I was wondering if anyone could suggest something. I…

Is there such a thing as a heathy dessert?
Or at least healthier, I should say. I like baking but have not been doing any since I am trying to drop the lbs. I was just wondering if anyone has a really good recipe to share. Something that doesn't have too many calories per serving. Thanks :)

What else should/could I be doing?
I have been really dedicated to losing weight for about a month now. I have lost 12lbs so far. I am eating 1600 calories a day and walking on my treadmill 6 days a week. I try and do better each time and add more minutes. Right now I am up to 50mins. I don't know if I should be doing weights or trying to do toning…

Help with blisters
I have been working out on a treadmill for over a week now. As I have been on longer and going faster, I got a terrible blister on the back of my ankle. It popped itself and has been bleeding every time I get on the treadmill. I have it wrapped with surgical dressing and s tape but that doesn't help as far as pain goes. I…

A Question for Women (Only)
Men readers, you've been warned, lol. I was just wondering if you skip weighing yourself when you are on your cycle. I have always been told that you retain more water/bloated around that time.

Question
I have over 100 pounds to lose. I was just wondering if after the month it will be noticeable. I have been reading that working on muscles doesn't show when you have a lot of fat covering it. I am just wondering if this will help get rid of the fat too? I have never done anything like this before so I feel like I don't…

Hard to stay positive
Trying to lose weight and knowing I am just starting and have a long way to go, makes this whole thing very daunting. Probably why I have never tried to really lose weight before. Fear of failure. In HS I was on the swim team and soccer team. After HS I joined the military. I was in really good shape. I gained a lot of…
