Knee Support
I'm looking for knee support recommendations. The pain is normally just when I squat and do lunges (just body weight, no additional weight added). I've started taking a core cardio class that uses a lot of lunges and squats and I want something to wear that isn't too bulky and will just ease the discomfort. I'm thinking a…

Sprained Ankle and Running
I started running with the C25K program in January with a goal of running my first 5k race at the end of April. Last Saturday was the 5k and I did run the whole thing! BUT, it was a glow run and it was dark and I stepped off the side of the path and sprained my ankle. I know that I shouldn't run on it for at least 4 - 6…

Week Three Peeps?
I just completed W3D2 and I'd love to have some friends that are about where I am. So far I'm doing well and I am really enjoying running! Anyone else nervous for Week Four? I kind of am!

Bridesmaids dress sizes SUCK!!!!
I am standing up in my sister-in-law's wedding in June and we went dress shopping yesterday. Of course I had to get measured and I thought I had mentally prepared myself for the size they would put me in. I figured it would be an 18 since I currently wear a 16 and I am about 8 pounds heavier than the last wedding I was in…

Running Socks
OMG! Why did I not know how comfortable running socks were before I started running! Totally worth the $15 for a pair of them. It's like my feet are getting hugged. I think I have an addiction to running socks now. I'm going to have to go on that weird addiction show on TLC.

Just Starting
Hi everyone! I just started C25K on Wednesday and I am so excited about it!!! It was much easier than I thought it'd be (only set back was getting my flailing arms tangled in my headphones cord and sending my phone flying off the treadmill and halfway across the gym - so embarrassing!! Wireless earbuds are being delivered…

Group Wellness/Fitness/Health Challenge Ideas?
I am part of a local weight loss group on Facebook. We are looking for ideas to get the people in the group a little more involved and one idea was to have some daily and/or weekly challenges. We've done eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies in a day, with at least three servings being veggies and we've also done drink at…

Corest-Wearing and 16 inch waist
I just saw this pop up on my Facebook feed and found it interesting. This woman has been wearing a corset for seven years and now has a 16 inch waist. Has anyone else seen this? I think that by having such a tiny waist it makes the rest of her look bigger. I don't know.....to each their own, I guess. She's a beautiful girl…

Here I Go Again....
I am 5'3" and this morning I weighed in at 223 pounds. When I started my original journey almost two years ago, I was 233 pounds. I got all the way down to 195 pounds about a year ago and bought two pairs of jeans in a size 14 (yay!!!!). I have no idea how I let myself get all the way back into the 220's, but this is it,…
