I not only have veins again, I have veins I didn't know I had.

One of my swim peeps said that she was impressed with the definition in my arms/shoulders! Been working hard.

@GemimaFitzTed you made me smile today. I can identify with your excitement! The first time I ran 5 minutes I cheered and then cried. That was 2 years ago. Now I'm a committed runner at 60. Training for my first half marathon.

@tammierlewis - I also cheered and then almostbcried when I finished the second 5 minute run. It's not like I'm overly fast - I reduced my speed from 7.3km/hr to 7.1km/hr and that felt perfect! As most people said, the speed will increase with more training; endurance is the aim of the game.

My husband and I can touch our sides and feel where our ribs are, instead of just goosh. That's lying down, anyway. When I'm sitting up, I still feel goosh.

For the past six months, I've been taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator. I always dreaded having to walk to the third floor because it left me feeling out of breath and light headed. I was so frustrated for the longest time because it never got any easier, but I kept at it. Today, for the first time, I got to the third floor and felt totally fine! I was able to have a conversation right when I got there instead of needing 5 minutes to catch my breath. Feeling super pumped

"Morbidly obese" was marked on my health record as "resolved" last week. Weight no longer appears as an open issue on the profile. Victory! BMI from 46 to 22.7 with jeans and shoes on. Boom!

Wow that’s amazing! Great job!

Got an extra workout in today when I really just wanted to veg out, proud of myself for putting in some extra effort!

lugojanisse · May 2019

I made 12,000 steps today effortlessly and I am proud

I did 250 body weight squats! In a row! Without pausing!

I didn't know my stamina had improved that much, I am amazed.

This! I remember this excitement well! Week 4 was probably the scariest for me! Congratulations on the incredible effort, I'm keeping my eye out for your name in this thread for your next running victory (have completed c25k myself this year after countless attempts over the years and love seeing others succeed with it)

I picked my new baby up on the weekend (Yeah, I'm slow with the updates) I out photos up on my Facebook and received a lot of "Looking good" "where have you gone?" Type comments. Just another reaffirmation that what I'm doing *IS* working and others can actually see it now 😁

Thank you! Week 4 scared me for a while and it was more about my perception and belief that 5 minutes of running was unattainable. Nope, I smashed it!

I'm doing C25K extra slow - I will be on Week 4 for a couple of weeks, which is what I have done since Week 1. It helps building my endurance and ensures I'm not reigniting injuries.

I am so happy that I achieved this huge milestone - it's showing me how much I have learned, and am still learning on this journey 😊

Wore a cute skirt at the hips instead of at the waist since it fit better there!

Also I've noticed a bunch of my stuff looks longer now, which is great for some of my skirts, not so great for my leggings

sytchequeen · May 2019

bought new swimwear for my holidays - because the old one was falling off when I tried it on last weekend

ElBence · May 2019

I have two. As I walked from the pool to the showers/locker room yesterday, I looked down and thought, "What's wrong with my thigh? It's sticking out so weird." As I felt it to see if something was wrong, I realized there's nothing wrong. I just have some muscle definition I'm not used to seeing. When I gained weight, I decided that rather than resize my wedding band, I'd just get a fat guy ring for cheap from Amazon. Yesterday when I was at my son's baseball game, I was clapping for him, and my ring nearly fell off. My original wedding band fits again.

Keep at it and dont be put off ever. It's a tried and tested program and near the end I got freaked out at how much it ramped up the running. Stick with it, its completely doable and the satisfaction when you finish it is awesome.

I now easily slowly run for 30 minutes, my next goal is to actually run the 5K. I need more minutes or faster legs! Either way, I am getting there and while I am not a fan of running, I am loving the fitness.

I sprinted for the bus on Monday, the driver waited and commented how fast I was ! That was my best NSV.

😀😀😀😀

I ate like a pig today—way over goal—but then took an unplanned trip to the gym and worked off 400 calories of it. While it's true you can't exercise away a bad diet, I was pleased to see myself shake off my food-coma-evening-at-home inertia and do something positive in response to my earlier misstep.

I ran a half marathon on Saturday and beat my PR by nearly 10 minutes. New time to beat 1:57:36.

Wow!
