26/30. I ran two miles today!!!

Adding from the gym haha 23.5/30. Inching my way closer hahaha

So I just started running recently, too. It's taken me several months and c25k to be able to run 20m straight and I do it at a 13m/mile pace, which is slooooooow. I had painful shin splints when I started and my doctor recommended taking ibuprofen 30m before a run and icing my shins after. It helps. But continue to take it…

Decided to go for a run this evening after work with my hubby. It was challenging but good! 2.2 miles. So let's make it easy and round up to 22/30.

This is so fantastic to see! Congratulations to both of you!!

Surprisingly enough, one of my favorite bras came from Lane Bryant. They sized me, they helped me try several on and the one I took home is fantastic. I was a 38dd. I'm a bit smaller now but haven't been sized since my loss. It still works well. I run and have done Insanity with it. Great bras and awesome staff.

For me, I did Insanity and while I enjoyed it, I found that I liked the gym more. I like the sense of accomplishment in my every day workout- I ran a full mile today without stopping or I increased my weight for bicep curls or squats, whatever the case may be -as opposed to feeling like every workout goes the same with…

For some reason, my ticker isn't working today, so I did 2.5 miles today on the treadmill which brings me to 19.65/30. I don't think I'm going to make my goal, but that's okay!

For me, it's about moderation. I have never been one who gained weight from day to day eating. I'm not terribly worried about maintenance. My struggle is things like going on vacation and eating out 3 meals a day. So eating at restaurants is a struggle for me. Now, though, 6 days a week, if I want to eat out, I'll simply…

I officially have no more "goal" clothes. Some of the pants are a bit snug, but at this point, it's because I'm in between a 10 and an 8 so I either pull my pants up all day (I hate belts) or wear some slightly snug jeans. Also, last night, I tried on my high school Prom dress and it totally fit! In fact, it was a bit…

Thank you guys. I appreciate it!

Haha I appreciate that. I like to imagine he was looking at my elliptical like "dang, she's got her resistance set to WHAT?!" And then promptly adjusting his so as to not be outdone. It's what I would do :wink:

Treadmill again today. This heat is killing me!

Haha great idea except I don't pay for a membership. But cash would be nice hahaha

Hey all! I'm 5'2", SW 173, CW 150, GW 133. I'm eating 1210 a day, excluding exercise cals. I'm doing c25k, so I burn about 200 the three days a week I do that and the other 2-3 days a week I lift weights so I burn practically nothing. I just started a new job that is much more active so I'm debating changing my activity…

C25K Week 5 Day 3. I did it. I know this is a big deal to everyone who does this program and it totally is!!! I only did a mile and a half in the 20 minutes, but that's okay. I'm THRILLED that I ran a mile and a half without stopping. Seriously, I haven't been able to stop smiling all morning. I will say this, though, I…

This is huge for me. I just got home from the gym where I ran a mile and a half straight without walking. Seriously, I've never run a mile straight before! Today was week 5 day 3 of c25k and most of my running has been outdoors but the humidity has been so bad I decided to do this run inside. Honestly, I might've been able…

These are amazing! I'm down about 40lbs from my SW. I was 190 (ish) on my wedding day. I'm not totally sure because I had stopped looking at scales by then but I am now 150 with a goal of 135.

Personally what I do for marinades or sauces or whatever is if it's something I drizzle over top, I log what I use (a tablespoon or whatever) but if it's a marinade or a liquid I cook in, I just log it. Some is gonna be soaked into the meat, some will be cooked down, you just can't be too accurate so I prefer a bit of…

Oooooh such a terrible run today. I'm on antibiotics for an eye infection and apparently, they're dehydrating me or something because I can't drink enough water, I'm cramping all over, and just generally feeling awful after my run this morning. Oh well. I might wait until the end of the week and I'm off the meds to go for…

Went to work out with my hubby this morning at 6:30am. Not a usual thing for me but it was nice. He went and did his thing, I did my C25K. Week 5, Day 1. Not pleasant but I did it. NOT looking forward to my next one.

I realized today that when I take my dogs for a walk now, it's nearly four times the distance. I also do it about five times more often. Before, I used to take them maybe once every other week and alternate with the dog park. Now, we go on walks almost daily and I walk them separately so the tiny distance is now doubled…

@dennie24 What a great idea using the minutes instead of miles for your c25k! I should've thought of that! Today was c25k Day 3 week 4 and it was terrible. I think it was because I went out a little later than normal and it was probably already about 80 instead of 70-75 with a pretty high humidity. I suuuuuucked. But I…

I thought it was just me! I sweat so much more now! Hahaha my husband (super fit guy) says he's jealous when I come home from a run soaked because it's like built in air conditioning. My NSV is how much more active I've been recently. Especially my c25k. I did week 4 day 2 today and last time, I had to walk a few steps…

I want to thank everyone for their support so far! All the nice things you've had to say have been so helpful and seeing everyone's successes has been really inspiring. Keep up the awesome job, guys!! Week 4 Day 2 of C25K. Listened to some good music to get me through that last really rough five minutes, but I made it!

C25k week 4 day 1. I ran for five minutes straight! I will admit that the second time I had to run five minutes, I had to stop and walk for a few seconds once or twice, but considering that a few months ago, I could barely run for a minute straight without feeling like I was dying feels pretty great! And my run pace is a…

I tried a lot of the pricey ones at sports stores. They didn't work well enough. They fit fine, but didn't stop them from bouncing around on top. Then I went to Lane Bryant. I'm also a 38dd. They fitted me and hooked me up with a great bra. It also has clasps on the sides of the band to help with putting it on/taking it…

I'm doing c25k right now so I'm not very ambitious In terms of mileage but I'll try for 30 miles this time.

These all look incredible! I'm so impressed with everyone's success! I've never posted a before/after. I'm only halfway to my goal. I'm 5'2", SW around 175, CW 153, GW 135ish.

About two years ago, I was having anywhere from 3 to 5 migraines per week. Between medication my neurologist prescribed and a healthier lifestyle, I can't tell you the last time I had one. I will say this about exercise though, even a walk can help burn some extra calories and I know you don't feel like it when you're…
