Registering for my first 5k
I just printed off the registration form for a 5k that takes place on August 2nd. Right now I weigh 278 lbs and I'm on week 3 of the couch to 5k. Should I mail it in, or am I being unrealistic?

PCOS/metformin/weight loss
I've been on metformin for 3 weeks now for my pcos. My doctor told me it would help lose weight too. I'm curious about other's experience with it. In the past week I've lost 4 lbs, which is great. But I'm so tired all the time. The other side effects seem to be getting better (the diarrhea and belly pain is almost gone).…

Too young to run?
What is a good age to start a child running? I think it might be a good outlet for all my 7 y/o's extra energy.

Anybody around 300 lb done C25K?
I've been at it close to a month now and I still can't run 60 seconds straight. I'm at 287 now. Right now I can do 8 intervals of about 30 seconds. How long did it take you to be able to do week 1? That said, I am already seeing results and making progress, so I'm not complaining just curious.

NSV, knee fat
This morning I scratched the back of my knee and noticed it feels different than it used to. When I was my highest weight (318) I was just starting to get a little fat roll on the back of my knee, at the bottom of my thigh. It's completely gone! I kind of wish the belly rolls would have gone first, but I'll take what I can…

C25K timing
I want to do the C25K program. I've been working up to it. I have a silly question for people who've done it before. Do you actually time your 60 seconds of running? It seems like it would be distracting. Right now I just walk and do a few short intervales of running when I feel up to it. But I have no idea how long. If…

I have my mother's arms
This morning I was brushing my hair and I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe what was going on with my arms. I guess I've lost weight there and now they're sagging. What can I do to tighten that skin a little bit? I'm only 30, I hope I still have a little bit of elactisity in my skin.

Running Advice
I really want to learn how to run. I've been working at it the past couple weeks. I looked at the C25K program and tried doing the interval running. In a 25 minute walk I can do about 5 1 minute intervals of running, I started with 3 so I'm getting better. So anyway my question is I started at 318 lbs in dec. I'm down to…

My husband won't diet with me
That sounds like a really whiny topic title, doesn't it? Let me explain, I don't want to force my husband to diet with me. I believe in wifely submission, it's not my job to tell him what to do, or make him feel guilty. But it seems like since I've been eating less he's started eating more. He's gotten in the habit of just…

Saw Palmetto for PCOS
I've had PCOS for a long time now and I want to finally get it under control and see if that will help with the weight loss. My dr wants to start me on metformin next week, my testosterone levels came back high. I was reading that saw palmetto might help lower testosterone, has anyone used it? And if so how much did you…

Miracle Noodles?
Has anyone tried miracle noodles? I was looking at someone's diary and saw the name and 0 calories, so I googled them. They're kinda pricey, but pasta is my biggest weakness, so maybe they'd be worth it.

My Body Gallery Website
http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html I just wanted to share this website. I really had no idea what a woman of my weight looked like. I'm always looking at other women and thinking I wonder if I'm bigger than her. Anyway this gives good perspective.

New Here
Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been counting calories here for a while but am new to the forum. I hope I'm on the right track. My starting weight was 318, I'm down to 289 in 4 months. I really want to get below 200. I read somewhere that it's almost impossible to get below your lowest adult weight. My lowest…
