This is almost like I wrote it. Weighed myself last night after weeks of being terrified to get near the scale, and it hit 248 (245.6 this morning). I don't want to live like this anymore. I don't want to feel uncomfortable in my own skin all the time. I remember 8 years ago when I was in my 190s, terrified to hit 200 and…

It frustrates me when I'm making dinner, because it always seems like the food is cold by the time I'm done measuring out my part. Like I'm making mashed potatoes. So first I have to weigh the potatoes before they go in the water. Then I cook them, drain them, season them, weigh anything else I put in (milk, butter,…

I'm a week into it, the first week was rough. It's nice having the low-impact modifications, but even with the modifications there were times that I was struggling to keep up. The worst part of it for me is lower focus, because I struggle so much with lunges. My knees just can't handle them. Starting week 2 today!

I'm 5'10.5" and about 220lbs. I carry the vast majority of my weight in my hips, thighs and butt, so I'm barely squeezing into an 18 in pants, but I comfortably wear a large (and sometimes medium) shirt. When I was in the low 160's (2 short years ago, ugh...) I was in a 10.

Why wait until July? If you start the program in November, you'll finish it in February. Why wait another five months to do your first 5k? Especially when waiting another five months puts you right smack in the middle of summer. Don't worry about the pressure, just have fun. Even if you're not "ready," just get out, get…

I cannot, cannot, cannot enjoy running while I'm focusing on time. One of the millions of reasons that I HATE running on a treadmill. I run outside, I keep my playlist "fresh," I mute the notifications so that I'm not constantly being told that I have work emails that need attention, and I just...zone out. Focus on my…

I started the program countless times and gave it up all but once.... It always seemed to happen to me around week 3. Work would get busy, or I'd get sick or I'd hurt my knee or one of the kids would get sick and if you miss one workout, it's so easy to miss the next one. And then the thought of losing progress (or, heaven…

This is sort of embarrassing, but I wear my old maternity t-shirts. They're super comfortable and they're long enough to cover up the weird muffin top that my compression capris give me.

Thanks everyone! I'm okay with "just keep at it" as a strategy for now. I just didn't want to decide to be patient and then look back in six months and wonder why I was still being passed by snails. My pace was 14:55 this morning :) Not where I want to be, but getting better!

I had the complete opposite problem! I completed the program running outside. I can run 35-40 minutes outside, no problem, I love it. 5 minutes on a treadmill and I feel like dying. I think it's just what you're used to.
