Did an easy 5k tonight after a day off yesterday. Plan calls for a 10k tomorrow, which will put me at 78 miles for the month, with 22 to my goal.

Welcome Julie! I have been where you are, and lost 110 pounds over the last 4 years. Still have 20-25 more to go, and would be happy to help and support you on your journey! Feel free to read my profile and add me if you'd like.

Down 110 pounds, 25 to go, also from Michigan!

4 miles today...

Beat the heat and got in a 5k this morning...

Welcome to MFP from a fellow Michigander!

Agree...

I agree with this. Genetics probably play a larger role in high cholesterol numbers than diet does.

Yum! But not very often. Tom Yum soup...

First 5k post surgery with some running (about half), and just a few seconds off my usual pace, so I'll take that. :smile:

I'm down 110 pounds, with about 20 more to go, but it took me 4 years to get here (on purpose). My thought was making small, gradual changes to my diet and exercise program would be more sustainable long term.

Exercise is not mandatory for weight loss, but you have to be serious and honest about your calorie intake/deficit. If it's ok to ask, what sort of disability?

First time adding some light running since surgery 4 weeks ago. Felt amazing!!! Just 2.5 miles today...

@juliet3455 Thanks for the laugh this morning! :smiley: Rainy morning, turned hot and humid fast. Got in a 5k...

Setting your base activity rate higher will take into account the calories burned at work. Then just add in any intentional exercise.

Thanks for the advise!!!

Got my 10k in this morning, shooting for something in the 4 mile range tomorrow.

Agree with this.

5K's yesterday and today which bring me to 46.39/100, and a 10k walk planned for tomorrow.

Sunday is my rest day, so after getting up early and going to church, I spend the rest of the day being lazy.

This. Carbs that are from whole grains and legumes, that are high in fiber, mixed with some protein, will process slower and don't tend to cause the high blood sugar spikes, which are almost always followed by a fast (and potentially dangerous) crash. I'm a type 2 diabetic, and when I was on injectable insulin, had to…

Took Saturday and Sunday off, back to the program today with a 5k.

5k today... All walking so far. Had hernia surgery June 22, and the doc wants me to wait another week before I start back to running. BTW, 57 miles walking post surgery.

Put in 10k today...

Adding 5k today...

5k walk today. 18.42 miles in so far. Sunday's are a total rest day...
