I ran today!! Me! At 275lbs. It was definitely not impressive but I ran 30 seconds, walked a minute, ran 1:30, walked a minute then ran another minute. This came at the end of my 2mile walk so it was even more amazing to me. I want to lose more weight before doing it regularly though.
I started C25K at ~275. Was down ~ 16 lbs when I finished 8 weeks later. Did it on a treadmill. Honestly sounds like you might be ready for it with the right pair of shoes (and, no I don't sell shoes).22 -

Agreed. I ran my first 5K at 280. It's definitely possible. Check with your doctor if you're not sure.
And I second the importance of good running shoes!!! Worth every penny.

19 day streak for logging and exercise. I'm especially pleased about my logging as several of those days I blew right past my calorie goal but did not say "*kitten* it" and have continued to pick myself up and start over the next day. I have infant-strength persistence, but it's a start.22

Today, during my c25k intervals, I jogged 8 minutes in a row. Twice! I still can't believe it.18

Kind of scale related, but I now in obese categor 1 instead of 2. Dont know what the difference is, but I'll take it!24

Went shopping for new work clothes a couple weeks ago and I actually had fun. I am only down about a size but I felt so good trying on clothes. It has been YEARS since I had fun clothes shopping!20

Turning sideways and not seeing 2-3 stomachs anymore.23

Woo-hoo! Completed Week 4 Day 1 of C25K. Two 3-minute runs and two 5-minute runs.
During the first five minute run, I thought I was going to keel over. My son was begging to stop but we kept going. Somehow.
During the second five minute run, I could not believe how long five minutes can be. But we kept plodding along and completed the workout.
No idea how.
But we did it.
And I, at least, am looking forward to doing it all again on Monday. Hopefully it'll be a tad easier.

I had only a cup of expresso Wed and no caffeine Thu & Fri I know, not a long streak yet but for me it's unusual. I'll still have coffee on the weekend, but during the week I really need to focus on water intake!13

Ran a 5K this morning. Usually I make the mistake of leaving the gate hard and regretting it around the 4km mark. This time I kept a pretty even pace. I ended up second in my age group, 14th of 167 overall, and recorded only my second ever sub 25 time. I was happily surprised.43

I found pants and shorts in my closet that I bought for last summer which were too tight at the time (mistakenly bought the wrong size), but now I can wear them c:18

Totally posted this in the wrong thread....try this again!
I've shopped at H&M for awhile, but I don't think I've ever purchased anything from there that actually had a numbered size. I feel like everything I've ever purchased has been a "S,M,L,XL." The stuff with the numbered sizing never seemed to fit right when I was small, and as I got larger I just don't think I fit in any of their largest numbered sizes. You know how it is the "s,m,l,xl " stuff usually has some stretch to it, whereas their numbered stuff tends to be the more tailored pieces.
But I just bought my first numbered size shirt from H&M yesterday, and in a 10 no less! The scale just finally started to move again after literally being at a standstill for months, and while I've dropped sizes on the bottom the top/midsection has just refused to lose an inch! The button down blouse was sleeveless, lol so I'm sure if it had sleeves I probably wouldn't be able to get in a 10 as my upper arms are just as stubborn as my middle and won't shrink! But I'm still in a 10 top! It's a hair snug across my shoulders, but the 12 was way too big so I'm sure the 10 will fit perfectly in a few weeks.
I've been feeling a bit defeated due to the non-movement of the scale, so I REALLY needed this NSV to let me know that yes I'm making progress. Excited!24 -
I was just looking through some old photos and I really am happy with how things are going now - even though I've actually gained slightly since January. I have been mostly sticking to deficit since Monday and I've worked out 6 days in a row (hooray for rest day tomorrow).

The past week has been very challenging with some unexpected health issues.
In the past, when circumstances were stressful, I would have come home and tell myself I deserved a glass or wine and probably a second and third after the rough day I'd had. This week, I thought about it briefly and very quickly dismissed the idea of having a glass. Didn't appeal to me and definitely didn't want the empty calories.
That definitely was a NSV for me.26 -

I have stalled the past 10 days, gained 4 lbs!
Back up to 208lbs in my birthday suit.
WTF?
This morning with hubby to his doctors appointment.
(He had lost 7 lbs in 4 months! Yeah baby!)
Decided to check on the doctor's scale my weight. 203 lbs?!?! With heavy blue jeans AND my heavy clogs on ?!?!
Wait.... I lost 5 -10 lbs in 15 minutes???
WTF?
Tech suggested my scale may be out of calibration or even broken.
Went home put my 10 lb weight on my scale multiple times.
The scale said 10lbs,15lbs, and even 17lbs!
Then tried to recalibrate it.
18,19,11,13,10,9, ummmmm no.
I threw out my scale!
Yes, I took fiendish delight in tossing that sucker!
That dear folks is my current
"NO SCALE " victory !
This made me laugh out loud!!
TOO FUNNY!!!!! You are quite a story teller! LAughing!!!!!3 -
I found my confidence again. While still being 214 pounds. I'll wear shorts if I want to!30

This seems really small...I eat/ate fast food a lot and since cutting back and cooking at home I've been excited by the reduction in trash and an increase in veggie scraps for my compost.36
