BIGGEST LOSER: PURPLE TEAM

I'm on the purple team too!

Hello! Thanks Lance for starting this thread! My name is Tarran. I am excited to meet everyone and make some new friends/support! I hope everyone enjoys the competition!

Hey guys! My name is Kim, I am also on the Purple team. If I can lose 10 more pounds I will be at my personal mini goal of under 200 lbs, which I hope to do by the end of the year. I have been working on my weight loss for 7 months now and am happy to say so far I have lost 51.5lbs. I can't wait to get to my halfway to goal point. That will happen when I am at 68.5 lbs lost...maybe by the end of January?

In any case, I look forward to getting to know you all. We can do this guys!

hey guys glad to see the thread got bumpin i was discouraged no one posted on it yesterday haha yah im ready to kick some *kitten* ive been doing insanity to drop the poundage and then once i reach 180 im gonna start doing the couch to 5k and hopefully move up to the 10k from there just some mini goals idk im not much of a motivator um GO TEAM?! yah i think that sounds fitting :laugh:

Nice, I am going to the c25k as well, I have been itching to start running. The only thing holding me back is it's winter now, so I will have to do it in the snow since we got dumped on 2 days ago and it's now cold and not going away. Funny before I started losing weight I always liked winter and hated summer. Now it's the opposite, I hate winter and want summer back. I guess winter used to give me the excuse to sit on my *kitten* and eat comfort foods. Now I FEEL like being active.

I'd like to try the next 5k, which likely won't be until the spring and then work my way up to a marathon.

And yeah mccormi, me too, um GO TEAM works for me :P

Yeah, I just have kind of been busy and I didn't notice it. I wish there was a way to be notified. Anywho...I do cardio at the gym for exercise right now. I want to add some weights in, but I'm waiting until I can get the habit down of the cardio so I don't get overwhelmed. I do the treadmill uphill and I do the elliptical. Its a nice little work out for me since I had not been doing anything. Recently I bumped up my work out to 40 minutes instead of 30 minutes because the 30 was getting a little too easy and I wasn't feeling it, but those extra 10 minutes have been KICKING MY BUTT! Glad to get to meet everyone.

I did it! I finally after months of contemplation, I finally did it! I ran for the first time in 15 years. I started C25K tonight and completed the entire thing. All my fears never surfaced. I didn't fall off the treadmill, I didn't have to hold on, in fact, I was quite stable. I'm pretty sure after weighing how I feel now, 2 hours later, that I am going to be really really sore tomorrow. The good thing...none of the joints that I thought would take a beating took a beating. My knees, perfectly fine, my ankles, perfectly fine. In fact I feel great! I can't wait to do day 2! How are you all doing?

LOL no, I just week 1 day 1....run for 60 seconds walk for 90 seconds, for 20 mins. It would be amazing if I could do it all the first time i ran tho!

I was wondering the same thing!

I didn't lose much though last week :grumble: I started adding in some strength training to my cardio and I found that I was ALWAYS HUNGRY!!! It'll take my body a bit to get used to this and then it will start losing (hopefully) I also know that my body loves to retain water

How was everyone else's week last week though???
