Hi(: Im 5'1 and im 129lbs I have been eating clean since june but i have had my cheat days of course my protein number is 80 and i usually reach that number each day but im usually under 1200 calories when i do most days im about 900 i also drink my 8 glasses of water and take supplement pills from herbalife and in the beginning of june i was 133lbs but with very little excersice most my weight is in my booty my thighs arent so bad but yeah i gotta big butt and a tiny waist with a little bit of fat but its mostly flat.
I am scarred of running to be honest i want to lose 13lbs then start running so i can feel more comfortable about my body I have been lifting weights and doing some sit ups and doggy drills and i plan on riding my bike for 45 minutes a day!

Im sorry if this is a lot to read and i really appreciate anyone reading and responding to this!!!(:

    Wow, it sounds like you're doing great. I'm 5' 3" and 135 lbs. If you feel bad nervous about running you could try running in the morning, thats what i do! In the mornings there are very few people out and it makes me feel much better about the rest of the day. Good luck!

    I'm 5'2 @ 130lbs, I run every other day anywhere between 3-5 mi
    Do what you feel comfortable with, if you wanna run just go ahead and do it!

    I'm 5'2 and 130 is my goal weight!

    I've done lots of running this year - I do a 5k Park Run every Saturday, and did my first half-marathon last month.

    What's scaring you about it?

    Heres the truth:Nobody is paying attention to you.Really..you are fine!Just get out there and run!When I started I was happy to run 2 miles without stopping,now I'm doing 4-5 miles 3 times a week.Once you start just push yourself and you WILL feel your body getting stronger.It's a really cool feeling.Also,don't have cheat days.Just stick with it and stay healthy.I started at 136 and im 114 now.I'm 5'0.You have to work hard but it feels so good to see results!

    Nothing special really, some running here and there. Heavy lifting and eating within my calories/macros did the trick :)


    Since then I have gotten pretty intense with my training. I do workout a lot and am always active but I wasn't before, this is fairly recent!

    No one will judge you, I promise! When I started losing weight a few years back, I was jogging at that weight (and we're the same height). I was scared people were judging me because I was running in an area that had a few seasoned runners. But I went ahead and ran with the C25K program. No one was paying attention to me, and the people who did notice me were polite and smiled as we passed each other by.

    The only way you'll become a faster runner is to start running. Losing weight first won't help.

    Well..I gave up carbs and sugar at first and lost a little over 10 lbs.Then...I started running 3x a week and doing circuit training 2 times a week and that really put weight loss in motion.

    just do a power walk instead of a run, it's just as effective. I am 5.2 ft and i started out at 142 and that is what i did to get into exercise in the beginning.. power walked! i am now 116 and maintaining but still trying to lose a bit of body fat.

    I agree that no is judging you when you run. When I see people out running or walking in the morning, I want to roll down my window and say keep up the good work. Because I am proud of them, and wish that I did that too. I never say it though, because I don't want to offend someone. Or have someone think she is saying good for you because you are fat, when I am saying good for you because you are doing something good for yourself!

    1200 calories is NOT enough. I'm 5'1" and got down from 130 to 115 by eating 1600-1800 calories, running and lifting.
