I just completed week 4, day 1 of C25K for the first time.EVER. I actually ran for 5 minutes! Twice! Holy Moley! I actually ran for a total of 16 minutes! OHHHHEMMMMGEEEE!
This is a HUUUUUUUUUUGE NSV for me! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
😮😮😮😀😀😀👊👊👊👊👊😊😊😊😊🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
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)
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 😊
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.
😀😀😀😀
Thank you for your encouragement
I want to get to the point of running for 30 mins too before I get to 5K. I finally realised I was chasing the 5K before I had the endurance. This time I swapped it and it's working for me - get the endurance before the chasing the km's.

I went hiking for the first time today. It was a small hike (one of the foothills of the Adirondacks), but I finished it. I was huffing and puffing while we did it, but I'm not even that sore tonight. I'd have never done this almost 50lbs ago.
That's amazing! I hike many times per week. When I started doing that 9 months ago it was so hard! Hiking has changed my body, mind and sprit in ways I cannot even describe. I hope you get to enjoy it again. 🙂8 -
My first is that I went hiking today and forgot snacks plus I forgot to eat lunch. Firstly who am I now that I might forget a meal? Secondly I used to always, always bring food on trail. I mean God forbid I get hungry or my energy crashes. Lol. I hiked almost 5 miles and was fine.
Second NSV is that my weight transition clothes are too big. I just got into most of these clothes about 2 months ago and they are now falling off. I've got about 20 pounds to go and guess I need another wardrobe before the final, goal weight clothes fit.
Good problems to have. 🙂21 -
1) It's the dreaded exam period in my house. My son, who has been home educated from birth, started at college last September so that he'd have some recognised qualifications. Anyway, it was his first exam this morning and I was more anxious and stressed than he was, even though he got a really good grade on his last mock and I know that he knows the subject. My usual way of coping with stress is to open the cupboards/fridge/jars and eat.
Today, I did NOT do this. And now I know that he got through it and was happy with his paper, I am not even thinking of going there, even though my stomach is still in knots.
2) Have re-started the bridging program between C25K and a 10K. I've been running 5kms on a regular basis snce completing the C25K two years ago but my speed hasn't improved at all. It's easier to run now than I ever imagined it to be but I just wasn't making any progress with speed (or distance, come to that). So, I'm back on a training program, which feels good!24 -
Logged 1000 days today!, none of them perfect but more good than bad, logged regardless. Lost 103lbs, now for final push, got too comfortable, want to lose 30-40lb more, here’s to the next 1000 days. Never committed so long to healthy lifestyle before, kinda proud of myself 😊47

I don't know if I ser it as a NSV, but I am down .5 size in shoes. I have never in my adult life, that I recall, a size 6.5 in shoes. It definitely opens my eyes to where fat stores are.18

Based on how my feet look when I wear strappy shoes (which I don't often for this reason), people can carry a surprising amount of fat in their feet, lol. I think it depends on the foot, but I've already dropped 1/2 size and will probably drop another 1/2 before I'm done losing.13 -
I'm beginning to see my collar bone again, I'm down several inches all over, and thanks to lifting, I'm stronger than ever.21

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.
Good for you - better than blobbing out feeling bad about overeating!6 -
Kind of NSV, and kind of "oh no!" - my new jeans are getting looser and will soon be too big to wear.
Rediscovering my belts to help with the situation.15 -

I know right? It's like, "awesome!" and then it's like "wait, I have to buy new clothes to look presentable". I also did the belt thing until I had to suck it up and do some thrift shopping.10 -
I can cross my legs comfortably again now. It’s so nice!14

Clothes NSV are the most fun for me. I bought a pair of 14 jeans at Goodwill thinking they'd fit in the fall, tried them on to see how tight they'd be and bang not only do they fit I can wear them in public without embarrassment. I'm also wearing a Medium - SIZE MEDIUM shirt. Never in my life have I worn a medium. I feel both tiny and huge. I think both are just brand sizing related as I still have 16 jeans that are tight but it felt good. Same thing on the shirt.16

There is something about wearing a size you never imagined you would be able to wear again. It makes you feel so good and proud of what you have accomplished.
I was wearing XXXL shirts and now it XL or even a L. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
Keep up the good work, it is worth the effort.16 -
I just posted on another thread yesterday, how I can hardly remember being obese and overweight anymore and that I don't have many pics of me being obese (because I hid/avoided like the plague from and gave the "stink-eye" to anyone trying/daring to take my pics when I was fat). Last night, my husband pulled out his old i-pad and had a bunch of pics of me DURING the beginning (3-4 months into it and about 20 something pounds less than my highest weight of 219.8lbs) of my weight blastification adventure (he took them on the sly, without me knowing)...and I was super mega HUGE, wow...my head/face looked 2 times (or more) the size it is now--my body was super bloated/big ( and I was around 200-190lbs or so in these pic)s-- I was super happy that I was ridding my body/mind/soul of the excess weight/heaviness back then). What's my NSV? Those days of obesity and woe are FOREVER over, I'm so very GLAD to no longer be obese or overweight. I am so GLAD I've grown accustomed to and love my new lifestyle of being slim and trim and embracing mental, physical, spiritual health and happiness now!21

I have run 5ks before, but I don’t run a *ton*... but I recently started weight training and a few days ago had to sprint a little over a block with all my stuff to make the bus, and it was way easier than I remember running being. So... yay!18

I finally stopped wussing out and did a box jump on the highest box at my gym! Wow xD25

Pants are slipping down and need a belt now rather than always pressing on the button11
