No elizab3th, don't feel that way!! We are a forum made up of all kinds of people. When you get alot of people together, not everyone is going to see things the same way.

Your entitled to your opinion and we respect that

you guys take those smiley faces too seriously don't you? haha .. i knwo what you mean - hopefully every didn't take my post as being mean either.. haha anyways how many are we missing? COME ON PEOPLE! I can't believe how well everyone did! No matter how much you lost - you guys rocked!

I agree...everyone is a winner becasue we all lost weight! GOod job everyone. I like the idea of not having that rule for future challenges just because I am a busy person with school full time and working full time...i dont really have much time for anything. I do however think maybe we should keep that rule, but make it like a week instead of three days. There are sometimes when I do go three days without checking the internet but i dont really think that i go a whole week...just a suggestion! good job everyone and lets keep it coming!

Hi all,

I am a noob here so just wanted to introduce myself. I currently started running/jogging everyday about a week ago for about half an hour to an hour everyday. Been going mostly to the gym and went for a run outside today now that the weather is getting nice. I have been running about 2x a week prior to that about 45-1 hour and decided to cut down the running time and go more often, which I've decided should be everyday if I can help it. I am running for weight loss purposes and just to get more healthy. I would like to lose about 20 lbs. I'm currently 5'5" and about 140-150 lbs. I am also trying to diet and maintain portion control and cut out bad foods.

Anywho, I have been having bad bouts of insomnia and about 4-6 hours of sleep everynight since I started and have been slightly sore every single day. Today particularly was pretty painful. Even despite being sore I went for a jog/walk around my neighborhood for about 45 minutes and ate and took an hour nap and I just woke up. I still feel relatively sore and even a little bloated because I ate some high-sodium foods after my run, which I regret now. In any case, yea I am debating buying some sleeping pills so that I can get some decent sleep and appropriate recovery time for my body b/c I don't know how much longer I can commit to running everyday without the appropriate rest. I was thinking of buying Ambien which I think you don't need a prescription for? Anywho yea, if anyone has advice on how to deal with insomnia and sleep-deprivation on a daily running program, please feel free to give me some insight~

Also, my left leg is what I think a full inch shorter than my right leg. It's funny b/c my right thigh is slightly bigger than my left. I don't know if this disparity would cause any issues with my running? And if so, how to avoid/offset such problems should they occur?

Hope everyone is doing well!
