  • Hey, I've been thinking bout starting that for a while now! I can't promise I can do every workout - because I'm also training for a half marathon - but I can try to do a couple a week and we can support each other :)
  • @janejellyroll @MeanderingMammal Thanks for the advice! I will probably have to reassess when I get closer to my half marathon on how I'm feeling :)
  • I have been sick the last week too. Started c25k again to try and get back into running. I think June is going to be a hard month though - lots of birthdays and weekends away - ad a massive project starting at work.
  • Username: monkeymintaka Weigh in week: June week 1 Weigh in day: Monday Today’s weight: 240.5 I think I will skip the mini challenge this month - I have just started with this whole healthy thing recently and I want to focus on creating an exercise habit before I go crazy with counting calories. It's helped me in the past…
  • @HASWLRS I jumped right in at week 4, I've been running at least once a week for the last year - so i haven't completely lost my running fitness - but I wanted to start gently so I can get back into a multi-run-a-week habit. Then I got sick the day after. I blame it on the physical exercise haha!!
  • Hi everyone, I've been sick the last few days, Sonora good I checked mfp tonight, because I didn't realize the challenge starts tomorrow!! My name is April, I like in the UK and a couple of years ago I managed to lose about 60 without really trying - because I fell onto running, joined a running club and started training…
  • Hi, is there still time to join? Username: monkeymintaka Weigh in day: Monday Starting Weight: 239.5lbs
  • SW 240 GW 170 I’m in again. I didn’t end the last round very well... but I still lost 2.5 pounds overall, so can’t complain. Thinking I’m not going to get off to a good start this round as family is round for the weekend and there will be lots of entertaining and eating out, I’m sure! 4/28 4/29 4/30 5/01 5/02 5/03 5/04…
  • SW 235 lbs GW 170 lbs 4/18 - 240.75 lbs - pretty good first day, ran/walked/shuffled four miles home from work. Ate the last of the Easter egg for dessert :) 4/19 - 236.75 - I'm guessing that 4 pound loss is all water - I got such a bad headache after my run last night. must drink more water! 4/20 - 236.25 - Lovely day…

  • I love socks too!! I have a bit of a sock obsession :/ Im treating myself to a new camera when I get to 200lbs. Got to lose 35 first. It's kind of a halfway goal... But an entire new wardrobe will be my end goal reward. I refuse to buy clothes now...it's too depressing.

  • Hi guys, I hope I'm not too late to join! I started this exact personal goal this month, so it's perfect for me. Really excited to be part of a group of people going through the same thing. I have about 60ish pounds I want to lose,aiming for a pound a week. Although, after Easter I'm already 5 pounds over my starting…
  • Hi Guys, this is my first round. I just found this challenge today and read through the last round's thread. It looks like a good idea! My SW was 235 pounds. But I'm actually at 240.5 pounds right now. I've been logging everyday for the last 3 weeks - mainly to get back into the habit - but I've been going over by 500/1000…
  • Hey guys, I'm going to try for 80 this month. I am trying for an advent streak, but I have just got back from a week of no running, because of a bit of bruised heel, so I am taking it easy and will stop if it flares up. I have a half marathon on the 20th and I dont want to ruin my chances of running that because of a…
  • I was hoping there would be a thread on MFP for this! I am totally doing this too.
  • Hey guys! I did my half marathon today! It was super windy - gusts of up to 45mph winds, but as it was two loops we did get a break for the 2nd and last 1/4. Didn't have much luck drafting, as the crowds thinned out quite a bit :/ but I am very happy with my time of 2:14:16!
  • Haha! Yeah, It's actually two loops, so I was thinking at least half the race with have a back wind. Yeah, I think I found the 10 miles not too hard, because I'm pretty good at pacing myself, it's definitely the mental challange I'm worried about :/ Are you rowing tomorrow then? I used to row in school and loved it! Good…
  • Hi amanda, welcome to MFP! I've recently visited that part of scotland and it's beautiful! Good luck with your goals :)
  • Parkrun PB today: 5km in 28:08. Pretty middle of the pack, but it felt awesome! Looking forward to sub 28 min.
  • Only day 3 and so many posts to read! Love all the pet pics :) I brought my first super awesome running watch, a polar m400, which was my mid-weight-loss-goal-reward. And I spent 2 hours playing with it yesterday! 2 miles yesterday to "test" the watch and a parkrun today with a PB of 28:08. I was stoked :) I am meant to do…
  • Going for another 90 this month.
  • Last run of the month tonight went really well. Ram with a faster (much younger) girl at running club and it really pushed me.
  • At least you don't have to add boobs to the mix :) But I was thinking after I posted that, at least now, I buy clothes to exercise in, where half a year a go I was just buying pajamas to watch TV and eat Doritos in! Yay! Running with people is fun :) And it's totally motivating too, I never would have ran this much/this…
