Over 40 Ladies
Hi all, We know it only gets harder to lose weight the older we get. I myself have hit a spot where no matter how much I exercise or watch what I eat, the scale doesn't move. Then I just give up for a bit and try to convince myself that bygones are bygones and this phase in inevitable. But I don't want to give up. For the…

Insanity Video questions
I got the Insanity videos about 3 months ago. I did ok but for only about a month or so. My biggest problem was the soreness and being able to do the next video the next day. This then prevented me to keep on track with the programs calendar thus causing me to get discouraged and stop it altogether. Now I think I'm more…

I need help with crosstraining
I'm in the last month of my training for the ATL marathon and I get a stress fracture in my foot. Doc says to rest it for a few weeks. No running/excessive walking until it gets better. So I'm out of commission for the next two weeks. I'm not in any sort of cast or boot thing. I can walk normally without feeling it too…

My first before and after pics (thanks to those who showed m
So this time last year, I felt like crap, wasn't working out anymore and kinda just gave up on myself. Then I saw photos that weren't so attractive and starting hiding from any/all photo opportunities (totally unlike me but I wasn't comfortable at all). January 1st 2011, my new year's resolution was just to be as healthy…

Pain in hip joint area
I recently started running and am now experiencing a pain in my left hip. I am used to walking miles upon miles but as that was getting easier to do, I started to pick up the pace. After last night's jog, my hip started to ache real bad. It's tolerable but annoying. Does anyone know if this is normal in runners? I'm taking…

Finally broke the plateau but confused
I don't exactly know how this happened, but it did. I have been around the same weight for the last month and a half, which boggled me since I was training for a marathon and eating exceptionally well. I am no bean pole so I still have weight to lose. Well, I completed the marathon over a week ago. After that I didn't work…

Finished my first marathon!!
Yesterday I finished my first ever marathon!!!! And other than the muscle soreness, extreme fatigue, blisters and feeling that my toenails are going to fall off....it was worth every bit of the pain. For those of you who participate in half and full marathons on a consistent basis, I have to give you props as it not easy.…

OxyElite Pro - Thoughts?
Was curious if anyone has tried this thermogenic? I've heard great things about it and thought I would give it a try. This is by no means going to take the place of good ole diet and exercise but I've been stuck at my current weight for over a month and swimsuit season is right around the corner. Just seeing what your…

Finished my first half marathon
Well I finished my first half marathon yesterday in Cincinnati. Although it was cold and rainy, I had a damn good time! Never expected to finish something like that and never understood how anyone could or would want to run/walk in such inclimate weather. However, I understand now. It just adds to the confidence you get…

What treadmill should I get?
I am an avid walker wanting to turn runner. I am looking online for a good treadmill that will allow me to start running without the fear of the equipment falling apart. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which treadmill to look into or buy? Budget is 1500. I know some treadmills are great to walk on and not meant for…
