Do these seem like good running shoes? shoes

I wanted to chime in here, even though Christa pretty much said it all.

She said she liked New Balance, and I personally love Adidas. My tennis shoes (sneakers, whatever you call them! :P) have always been Adidas, as everything else hurts my feet in the end. So yeh, just go check out a sports store, and go check out their shoes. Ask someone for help, try on shoes made for running, try on different brands, and hey, take a jog through the store! See if they really do work for you. That's usually the best way to tell if you'll like them - whichever you feel gives you the most support and are the comfiest!!!

Robilee I feel like I am one person who completely understands where you are right now with all this, been there many times and I am at a stalemate too, but i have set myself a goal, which I plan on achieving, try never to set goals that are way beyond you, i have made that mistake and am just setting myself up for failure, you have to get in the right frame of mind, and that is the hardest bit i think, once that clicks you are on your way.

Just don't give up, I do from time to time, but i never give up completely,for people like me it is not as simple as just go exercise when i feel hungry, and sometimes I just have to have a major blow out, hit rock bottom and get it out of my system and get on track again.

Yes it is indeed a lifestyle change, however this is something i have never been able to achieve long term, I sure am doing better than i have in the past, but my weight problem has flucuated so much over the years, I have made those lifestyle changes and been a very tiny person, only for the old sad and bad ones to gradually creep in again, I do believe for myself personally this is more than a weight issue, it is how i deal with things in my life, food is my comforter, it is my drug of choice i guess you could say, not everyone has this problem, I am not certain if you can relate Robilee to what I am saying, but if so, just know you are not alone.

Even though all the stories are inspiring and wonderful, my head is not in the right place to get where i want right now, no-one can do this for me,only myself, and i will get there as you will too Robilee, you will know when the time is right,take heart in knowing i have been really successful at loosing weight,keeping it off is another story, however it can be done, and until i do that my inner peace will not be there.
