Hitting Onderland is a huge step - I suggest taking a picture of the number on the scale. I printed it out and hang it on the computer monitor. I think it means more to me than the lower numbers I'm on. Congrats, you look wonderful.0

@kar328 I definitely took a photo of it! Mainly to have proof for myself since I still can't quite believe it.0

Came back today for my inspiration and I wasn't disappointed....I have 245 pounds to lose so I appreciate you say 100 pounds is definitely doable in a year. We have a rower, two treadmills, two bikes, stair stepper, elliptical and free weights right in our basement so I have no excuse....was thinking I'd wait to get down to 350 (383 now) before I start anything other than the bike....starting that this week....starting with twice a week for 30 minutes....used to do it and fell off the bandwagon!

@PatinMich - totally doable! And yes, if you're motivated to start an exercise routine, I say go for it! The bike sounds like a great idea, even just walking on the treadmill is great.
I started the C25k program, outside, when I was just under 300 lbs. For me, it was important to start slow so I could build up endurance. Trying to go too fast in the beginning is a great way to burn out or get injured, so I went with the rule that I should be able to hold a conversation, even when running. So I went SLOW. Really, really slow. But it worked - I was able to finish every workout, and slowly improved both endurance AND speed, even though I wasn't really trying to increase speed - it just came naturally as I got more fit. Now that I run regularly, I still follow the "be able to hold a conversation" rule. So while I feel like I'm moving slowly every time I run, I've actually improved my 5k time by 3.5 minutes over the last 2 months!0 -
