Hi TrishE, I always go with this, have you ever ever seen anyone get fat from eating grapes, bananas, etc??? No, they get fat from cheeseburgers, fries, etc. Of course, fruit does have some carbs though, so if you are watching carbs then I would limit some. I therefore, do not eat a lot of bananas, grapes, carrots, and watermelon. Only those in moderation. Fruit is healthy healthy. I have a thin friend and she eats fruit nonstop. soooo, that will tell you something. I tend to eat green apples, strawberries, berries, blueberries all the time. Hope this helps you. Eating fruit is better than that Doritoooooo! lol hmm, now that sounds good! ha

I am doing the best I can and will not give up/ SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU, you are doingit. keep it up!

FEELING GREAT!

Hi Alice, You are doing great. I feel extra energy sometimes too, so when it tells me to cool down, I keep going, walk a little and run again. Then some days I feel like a Slug! HA HA WAY TO GO, proud of you!

Hey GR33E, It is up to you. I started with the 10k app as I was already working out all the time. Like Trishe says, it starts you out about the same and most people who move up to the 10k app, they end up starting at week 6 or so. I am on Week 8, Day1 today and it had me running for 28 minutes. I can almost do it. I stop a few times. But I am doing it. If you are going to do a full marathon later this year, I would definitely start with the 10k app and and do 4 days a week instead of 3. Strength train the other days. They also a have a half marathon app after and look at that one, but might want to o up to the marathon one too. Keep me posted how you do. Good Luck and Welcome here!

YOU CAN DO IT and this is your first step in becoming a better you. I am so proud of you for begininning here. Post a Journal on the Accountability 2015 Board and hold yourself accountable.

They also have a situp app, Changing the way you eat is the way to go too. I am a huge PALEO fan and you also will hear from a guy named Azatol, weigh in with that here too. I have a website called www.cavegirlcancook.com that has a few recipes and also facebook.com/cavegirlcancook where I post recipes. 90% of the time I eat paleo.
