Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know I went out of town for a couple weeks and been busy with birthdays and holidays so I had to start over. My old profile is cminner, so I will be using skyye82.

Well, not only was I busy and not able to workout, I gained 5lbs while in Delaware! Talk about a confidence plunge! Last week I decided to get out of this apartment and go walking. Boy, was I embarassed! I walked probably 1/10 of a mile and my legs started aching so much I had to turn around and go back. But that didn't stop me from going the next day. (I also tried changing shoes everyday and finally found some comfortable ones that helped with the aching calves) I know eventually I'll be able to go further and faster. But I lost 4 lbs last week with the help of lots of water, and of course packed it right back on over the weekend with 3 parties I went to, one including my son's 1st birthday party ( hot dogs, chips, sodas, ice cream, cake...not to mention all the bbq food at the other 2 4th of July parties) But thats okay, next week is a new week and no more parties any time soon!

My goal is to get back into the clothes I wore before my son was born by winter time. I'm giving myself one year to lose 115 or close to.

Wish me luck and good luck to all! :):dumbbell:

welcome back. Your shoes are important as you are starting to understand. The one thing you might want to do is go to a running store that lets you try out various shoes to run in, and then you can get some GOOD supportive shoes to help you in your quest. They can run close to 100.00 but once you have 1 pair, you will never go back to the GHETTO FAB athletic shoes as I like to refer to them as. good luck.
