it took over a year, but finally dropped 10lbs

I've been using MFP's app on the ipod for awhile now (like, say... 2yrs) and I really wasn't noticing much weight loss. I went to the gym regularly and even tried some P90x. It wasn't until February that I began a Couch to 5K program (with the help of the app "Get Running"). I HATED running. (and even now, sitting on the couch, cannot think that I really want to at this moment) but, in 5 weeks of running for 30min 3x a week, I dropped the other 8lbs that wouldn't come off. I am ecstatic... and confused. I guess when they say you need to "change up" your exercise routine, they mean it'll actually work!! :P

WOOHOO! Congrats!!

EDIT: also, I can definitely relate to the "change up the routine" thing. The last 10 lb of my previous weight loss would not come off no matter how hard I worked at the elliptical, even though it had gotten me through 30+ lb before. Once I started using the treadmill, the scale finally started movies. Blast our bodies for being so efficient!

Way to go! That change up thing is really frustrating. It doesn't make sense right!? How can I be working out so much, so many hours a week, and not see ANY results?!

I guess you're right @Kuni - Dammed bodies are just so much smarter than us!

That is great. WELL DONE. I just started couch to 5k yesterday and agree the cool running app is brilliant.
