    I did a 10k All-Trail fun run Easter morning.

    I had not run further than 8K before that, nor had I ever run trails before, so I was pretty happy w/ just finishing! It was sunny but muddy from rain the day before. It was a super mellow fun run where the awards were chocolate bunnies and carrots and at the start of the race, they gave everyone plush ears.

    I'm a 'back of the pack' runner, so it was surreal to see all these bunny-eared runners in front of me!!! :laugh:

    Mine wasnt very successful!! :cry:
    I hit a plateau, but managed to give up tea for lent (I had a serious tea addiction! :laugh:, I could easily drink 8 cups a day!) So I was proud of that!! But thats about it unfortunately!!

    Hopefully May will be more kind to me!!
    Well done on your achievements!!

    despite not loosing any weight I have lost almost 7 inches (3.5 from hips, 2.5 from waist, some from arms and thighs)!
    I have increased my running speed on the treadmill from 6 to 7.5
    I have started running outside and can now run 5 miles (on hills!) with only 2 min of walking
    I exercised all but 3 days in April!

    What a great thread!

    In April I...

    Lost 7.5 lbs and 5 inches.

    Rediscovered my love of running.

    Started strength training and may have developed a muscle!

    Looked at a recent picture of me and wasn't completely disgusted.

    * Ran 4 miles non-stop first time
    * Ride my bike again, which has been hanging in the garage ceiling since 2006 (I think)

    I accomplished NOTHING in April. (having to do with my weight) I changed my diet plan hoping for better results.....didn't happen. Have lost my motivation. Here's hoping that May will be better.

    I didn't really keep track of April, but I just joined MFP on March 16. Lost 18 pounds since then, and consistently make my exercise goal for the week (200 minutes), and usually under calorie goal. Energy level is terrific!

    Lost 12 lbs
    Can fit into jeans I couldn't for over 3 years (why do we hold onto things like that?)
    dropped below 180 lbs (which was technically today, but i am counting it)
    Have found a calorie goal that works for me and my breastfeeding.
    finished week 3 of c25k... i can't believe how my endurance has increased.

    I bought capri pants in the same size I wore back in high school, which is six sizes smaller than what I wore at my heaviest weight.
    I also started incorporating running into my walking routine at the gym. Can't do it for very long, but it's a start.

    3. Fit into a size 18 pair of shorts I still had from a couple of years ago (still a little tight, but last summer I couldn't even button them)

    I decided to start taking weight loss a little bit more seriously... summer's coming! Honestly I've been leaving and coming back to this site for months now but I finally decided to get on board and get going! I did manage to lose a few pounds too. :)
