Couch to 5k
I am a teacher and want to get healthier over the summer. I would like to start running, but I am scared. In June 2013 (I weighted 170-175), on my first day of summer vacation I started Couch to 5k. I followed the program for Day 1. Somehow I got a stress fracture in my foot. This laid me up for 2 full months. Before I…

Jealous
I am desperate :'( On January 20th my husband weighed 250 pounds and was overweight. I weigh 185 and am overweight. He had jaw surgery to help with his severe sleep apnea (yes I know his weight was an issue.) Things went very wrong and he needed another surgery. He could not (and still can’t) eat real food. Husband now…

Hello
I am just joined this group. I didn't start the February challenge since I've missed most of February. I have problems with binge-eating. I do it late at night when everyone goes to sleep. I then break out the chips, dip, popcorn, sweets, anything I can. I have also noticed I do it at work. I am a teacher and I will binge…

Hopeless
I am 36 years old. I am 5 feet 5 inches, I weigh 186.6 lbs. and I hate myself. This is the heaviest I have ever been. I have always been skinny, now I am out of control, and feel completely disgusting. Some of this is my own fault, but there are also extenuating circumstances adding to how I feel. I am depressed and I am…

Thirty Day Shred
I just "completed" day 1 of TDS. Has anyone completed this and succeeded? I could barely do the workouts. I did my best and am sweating like a pig! I'm not sure if I am wimpy and not pushing myself hard enough. I would like to hear about other's experiences; successful, unsuccessful, or mixed. Thanks!

Why?
I WANT to be skinny and in shape. I like to walk and ride my exercise bike. WHY do I keep self-sabotaging myself? I guess I have no willpower. Every morning I wake up and tell myself I will do good with food and exercise (I do most days). By the end of the night I am eating chips, ho hos, and drinking beer on the couch. I…

I hate jeans!
I HATE jeans! I do not wear jeans! I think they are the worst piece of clothing ever created! I am a history teacher so I know for a fact jeans were invented as tough durable pants for workers/farmers. But somehow over the last 100+ years, they have become an American clothing staple. I have been jean free for over 2 years…

30 lbs
It is 90% certain we will be going to Cancun next summer. I want to drop 30-40 lbs for the vacation. I don't want to be covering up and embarrassed on vacation. I want to look and feel good. I'm currently 161 do you think this is possible?

Exercise Bike
I need some help figuring out the exercise bike: I have a recumbent exercise bike I ride daily for 60 minutes. I ride between 17-18 miles an hour. My bike says I burn 652 calories for the hour MFP says I burn 880 calories an hour (MFP only has 880 for 16-20 mph) Am I really burning 880 calories? This seems way too high to…
