@GummiMundi How’s it going for you? I started W7 yesterday. Hope you’re doing ok!

@GummiMundi welcome to the C25K group. Where exactly are you in week one?

@CILLAJ8 & @briscogun You guys! I did it!!! 💪 I got out of my head and just took it slow like you said. (As in “14 minute mile” slow) But I jogged the whole 20 minutes none the less. I can’t thank you guys enough for the encouragement! Are you both still running? Have a wonderful weekend. Sue

Completed W5D2 today and with almost no knee pain! 😁 You guys, I have to admit. I’m a bit nervous about D3 this week 😳 Hope everyone is doing great!

Hey 👋 just checking in. How’s everyone doing this weekend?

W4 Complete! Hope everyone is doing well!

@CILLAJ8 I’m doing well. Thanks for checking in! I completed W3 this morning. My knee is improving. Not nearly as much pain today. Hope you have a great weekend!

I’m in as well. I’ve been working hard for about 4 months on improving my overall health. To date I’ve lost 39 of the 64 pounds I aim to lose. I’m very much of an emotional eater and would love an active thread to offer and receive support along this crazy journey. I’ve also started the “Couch to 5K” (C25K) program. It’s a…

@briscogun and @CILLAJ8 nice work! Can’t wait until I’m there with ya! I did run again yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll do W3D3.

Hi guys and gals! Results of my MRI came in yesterday. She said it’s inflammation of the Medial Tibial plateau bone and that it’s the precursor to a stress fracture. Long and short of it is that she’s leaving the ball in my court for now. If I want to try to run, with the brace, on level surface then she won’t try to stop…

@Change_is_Good_ and @CILLAJ8 When I ran on Friday it was in my new Brooks. My knee pain was awful over the weekend. I saw an orthopedic doctor and they did an MRI this morning. She wasn’t comfortable giving me permission to try to run through the pain unless she knew exactly what was going on in there. Based on the…

@Malimalai I agree that meal planning is a good way to help you stay on track. Hope you have a great week. Don’t despair, it’s a new day with new possibilities.

@briscogun Congrats! Thank you for being an inspiration! Can’t wait until I can say the same.

Well, W2D3 is complete. Just barely and not without a lot of pain but complete none the less. My neighbor referred me to a Running Store who was open by appointment. The owner was fantastic. I got a very thorough fitting and ended up purchasing a pair of Brooks. I’m very hopeful that these will help heal up my knee/s. Week…

@Luckee_me Congrats on a day well done!

@88digitalawesome88 Welcome! 66 pounds is where I need to be as well. It was such a daunting number to think about so I’ve been doing the same as you mentioned. First I set my sights on the 1st 10 pounds. Once I got there, 20 was the next goal. Shortly after was the 10% loss! The most recent was surpassing my half way…

@showjumper W2D2 complete. 💪 I’ve been having knee pain since my weekend run that got worse after Monday’s run. I was terrified it might sideline me but I started icing it yesterday and it was a bit better today. I should have done it from the get go. I guess that’s why we say nurses make the worst patients. 🤦‍♀️ It…

W2D1 complete!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️ Thanks again for all the encouragement! You’re right it is more mental than physical. Best, Sue #stayhealthyandstayoffthecouch

@briscogun Congrats and thank you for your encouragement! Tomorrow starts week 2. I feel pretty good about.

What’s everyone else’s view? Hope everyone is enjoying a fantastic evening!

@rmstorms90 welcome! How are you feeling so far?

@Westieok Thinking of you and hoping today was a better day. Be kind to yourself. Best, Sue

@Luckee_me Like you said though, you got right back on track. That’s a huge win in my book! I’ve been doing IF as well with good success. What kind of schedule do you follow? Best, Sue

Completed W1D3 today! It’s gotten a little easier each day. I’m a bit nervous about W2 but I’m just gonna try to enjoy a day off tomorrow and not overthink it. The weather has been beautiful the past few days so that’s helped lift my mood as well! How’s everyone doing?

@GrumpySparkles I’m so sorry for the loss you had to endure. I see something positive in your posts though too so thought I would share that. I see a person who’s suffering however, I also see someone who is in touch with herself. You seem to recognize some of what triggers you and that in itself gives you an upper hand…

I’ve been practicing IF for a little over 3 months. I try to stick to 16:8 and it’s been a game changer for me! Cravings are so much less! I’m down 35 pounds with 31 left to reach my goal. Feel free to add me if you’d like. Best, Sue

Hello Andrea. Nice to meet you! I’m a Border Collie lover as well! Best dogs ever! (I miss my Abby girl 2003-2016). I’m Sue and I’ll post a bit about myself below. I too am looking for folks to network with and keep each other motivated. I’m Sue and I’m a little over 3 mo the into my wellness journey. I’ve struggled with…

Hi everyone! So great to meet you all! I’m Sue and I’m a little over 3 mo the into my wellness journey. I’ve struggled with my weight for about the past 25 years (I’m 49). I’ve lost and regained a significant amount a couple times. As of now I’m down 35 pounds which puts me 31 pounds away from my goal weight. I’m doing a…

@briscogun and @showjumper Thanks for the encouragement! I completed W1D2 yesterday. It wasn’t as tough as the first day. Anyone have recommendations on running shoes? I’m using my cross trainers now but really want to get a good pair of runners. Problem is the shoe/dept stores are all on lockdown here in MN. I’m reluctant…

I did as I said and started the C25K today. I have to be honest, day 1 was much harder than I thought it would be. I’ve been walking a couple miles a day pretty consistently for several months and I thought I’d breeze through the first week of this. Not so!!! Does anyone else do more than 3 days a week? Or should I just…
