Howdy all! Sorry I am little late to post my challenge. The big things I am working on are weight loss and finishing up my dissertation. Daily Challenges: Write 2 pages a day of my dissertation (have to graduate!) Walk 8,000 steps a day Eat below 2000 calories a day. Run every other day Strength training on off running days I'll post progress as it comes up. Let's do it! M

I have learned that weight loss has little to do with excercise. I started running very heavily 2 years ago to loose some extra weight, was running 30 miles a week for 9 months and I only lost 10 pounds (down to 230) before I started gaining it back as muscle. I really think it comes down to keeping your calorie intake low, and being active enough that any weight you loose isn't muscle.

Hey All! Well, I am back. I haven't posted in a couple of years, but want to lose some weight this year so I'll definitely be more active. M

When I first started running, I was embarrassed too. Luckily my parents had a treadmill that I got started on, which is great because you can do it completely alone. Can you find a place that is relatively empty of people (but of course safe)? Try it there until you feel more confident.
