ORIGINAL POST:
Hello everyone any happy new year. I started trying to lose weight by changing my eating habits and exercise. I got a one month start on my new years resolution and started in December. My very first run I feel like I only made it 100m before I couldnt breathe(December 3rd). Yesterday I ran a 5k without stopping and am very happy with my results so far.
UPDATE:
I bumped my run up to a 7k run and my weight loss has slowed down but it is steady. I haven't given in the constant pizza and donuts at work and have been eating healthy for almost 2 months now. No alcohol in almost 3 weeks and my energy level is through the roof. I think my personal goal of 230 by the end of January is obtainable.

No loss this week, but also no gain! Was getting over a terrible cold and didn’t work out as much as I would have liked so I wasn’t really expecting a loss

I have eaten so many bad snacks after this dinner this week. My gain does not surprise me.
Today is the day that I start to cut back down on snacks because I know where this trend goes - up and up.
FYI: I have adjusted my ultimate goal because when I hit 118 last month, I realized that I still wanted to try to lower my body fat to a normal range. I have been back and forth with 33% and 34% for about a month. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.

Hi all, I don't really post, but here goes. I lost my Dad January 1st of 2019. I fell into a fitness slump due to depression. I lost so much muscle-I was a half-marathoner. Anyway, I'm trying to get back at it. I've downloaded Aaptiv, and I'm going to the gym. I've kind of lost my running desire for some reason, but I'm enjoying strength and walking, so I'm ok with that for now. I'm ready to feel like me again.

Still keeping up with my workouts. My muscle soreness has gone down and my TOM is on its last day. Water intake is on point and my food intake could use a lot of work. Especially the snacking. I Need to get this under control. I logged everything, the good the bad and the ugly.

Total loss for January: I am only going to address my average weight here because I was sick and lost nearly four pounds in one day; it's not real. That December 28 weight was artificially high, and today's is artificially low, so to claim I've lost almost five pounds isn't really quite true.
Aside from that, I've been getting back on track in January, and my ten-day average weight is down 1.5 pounds and is nearly back to my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.

So far down 3.2 lbs lbs in January. Hmm did ok this week, think I will have fish more this upcoming week. I find when I have fish 3 or more times that often helps me lose about 2 lbs in a week. We will see. But am losing each week which is good.
