Hello, fellow mama's! I always love seeing fellow moms taking back their health and prioritizing themselves! I turned 40 in 2020, and have committed myself since then to get my health back on track. I am down about 90 pounds with 45 or so to go to my ultimate goal weight. I also recently starting running again and am…

Week 10, Run 1 I can’t even. I just ran 7 minutes without stopping. No, I just ran 10 minutes without stopping. No, I just ran 12 min without stopping.14…16…What? Only three minutes left to go? I, me, myself, just ran 20 minutes without stopping! I can’t believe it, but I believe. ❤️

Monthly weight check-in. On track for my 2021 goal of losing 4lb per month. Yeah! SW 272 (Feb 2020) CW 186.4 Total lost 85.6 Next goal, get to 184 by June 1st. March 1 – Goal: 196 – Actual 196 (3/3/21 started the None to Run program) April 1 – Goal: 192 – Actual 192.8 (4/9/21 officially 80 pounds lost total) May 1 – Goal…

I was so anxious last night thinking about today’s run, and now it’s ✅. Who would have thought? I am back to running! This week is 4 x 5min intervals and next week is 20 min straight running. I missed this me.

I found the ultimate belt for weight loss at target. I have bought and have grown out of at least 3 belts in the past year. So this time when I needed a new belt (ran out of holes again), I was purposeful in the belt I got. I found a belt that is an M, that I can JUST squeeze myself so that it fits the first hole. So, not…

Added. :)

You look awesome! Way to stay with it and reach your goal.

This week's run is a repeat of the intervals from last week. It is going well, and I even had the thought “I think I have a little more in my tank to run” when it was time for the walking sections. However, by the end of the workout, I was READY to be done. These two runs have been inside at home on my treadmill as my…

Week 7 is just rude. It is. Just plain rude. Running for 2 min and walking for 30 seconds. That's just not kind. Oye. It kicked my butt and I definitely had to slow down my pace, but I got it done all three runs! Now for two days off running and one strength training tomorrow.

I LOVE this! Let me know when you start so I can cheer you on!

It's been a while since I shared my numbers, so here goes. Starting weight in Feb 2020 - 272 Current weight April 17, 2021 - 189 Feeling good physically, halfway through beginners running program that is challenging me in a new way, and sticking with tracking with the goal of losing 1 lb/week throughout 2021. My end of the…

Seeing the same numbers for months in a row is definitely frustrating, but I see the above as a huge WIN Connie. You are doing this. You are sleeping good, feeling younger, energy high.... the scale will catch up, you are doing everything you know works, sometimes it just takes longer than we want it to.

Week 5, Run 3 Another outdoor run while visiting family in Wisconsin, kicked my but was so invigorating. I was intentional about trying to slow my pace a bit, as its not about speed right now, it's about the duration of running. Week 5, Strength, Week 6, Runs 1 and Two My daughter was on spring break and recovering from…

@Janatki, glad you found it inspiring! I found a group I want to check out for in person runs when this whole mess is over. It was actually started in the UK - its called Parkrun - free 5ks, every week. I want a tribe like the folks in the video had. Let me know if I can be supportive at all - I am still trucking and am on…

Everyone has an opinion, don't they? Congrats on your weight loss and roller coaster love!

I have been doing in my running program primarily on the treadmill. Running at between 3.9 and 4.2 for the running intervals. After running outside today I was so winded! I was confused as to WHY it whipped me so badly until I plugged my run pace into a website that translates that into treadmill speak of MPH. Now it all…

Doing the None to Run program - all 12 weeks!! (Currently at the end of week 4.)

Week 4, Run three in the books.. my legs felt like lead but I made it happen. And I made an appointment at the phone store to get a new battery for my phone. So hopefully that fixes my outdoor run issue for next time. #none2run #nonetorun

I know I killed today’s run. But I don’t have any stats to prove that and it is bothering me, maybe more than it should. I ran outside today for the first time as part of this program. I had a route all mapped out, exactly 3.1 miles / 5 k distance from my home. I had my phone all charged and set with my None to Run, Map My…

Totally agree! I focused on diet only for the first year. :)

I’m very excited to meet you too. What an awesome accomplishment to be able to run for 20 minutes without stopping. Definitely my first big goal is doing 1 mile without stopping and then a 5K without stopping. This week I’m still on one minute running and then two minutes walking for a total of 30 minutes. I’m glad it’s…

Week 3, Run 1 Today’s run went great, there was more intervals of running and five more minutes over all, but the same times. So running for one minute and walking for two. And that is what will be the schedule for this weeks runs. If you’re joining me give me a shout out. #n2r #nonetorun #justdoit

Today's run went well. Sticking with the program. I have been adding in some balancing work to work on my ankle stability - balancing 2 min on each leg with the other one raised. I am amazed at how hard it is just to balance on one foot. Clearly this is a good next step for me. :)

Mom to one but on the journey if anyone wants to connect. :)

Feel free to add me as well. I have been tracking for just over a year. I am down 74 pounds, with about 59 more to go to my ultimate goal. I love having MFP friends for support and encouragement!

Yesterdays run was good. Not too hard. I realized that next weeks schedule is the same as this one and while I feel like I could do more, I am going to stick with the program - after reading multiple people's stories of pushing themselves harder than the program suggests and ending up with injuries. I know I am prone to…

Today I will drink all my water and log all my calories.

That some of my joy has been lost in looking at old memories with my family when I was heaver. I had gotten used to being heaver and loved the photos before I lost the weight, now all I can see is my size.

This week bumped up the running time to 1 minute and the walking to two minutes. This was doable, but I was still ready to be done when my 25 minutes were up. To keep me motivated and believing that although my brain is telling me to stop, my body is more than capable of being pushed, I am running FASTER for the last 30…
