I am using the Versa 2. I just got it. Feel free to add me! my ID is 9HZLZ8

You look incredible! You should be so so so so proud of yourself. I’m doing low carb/keto too, and counting my macros, and weighing my food. I hope I have even half of your results.

Hey. I’m 5’1.5 and currently 173. This is my second time using this app. The first time I was very successful, I got down from 177 to 159 lbs in about 2.5 months. I was running about 3 times a week, but I wasn’t weighing my food (I didn’t own a food scale) and I would frequently go over my calories. I paid no attention to…

Add me as well! We all need support, especially during the holidays!

I did the program, and loved it. Good luck!

As far as I'm concerned, you are a rockstar. Keep going, you are on a great track already just by starting again. Healthy eating will help with recovery too, I'm sure. I'm wishing you all the best.

I went for a run today, and I knocked 45 seconds off of my time! I had been doing a mile in 12 min, but today I did it in 11:18

Congratulations! You are GORGEOUS, I love your style!

I had a big problem with sodium. I used "Smart Balance" or "I can't Believe It's Not Butter" to cook, and I always went over on my sodium. Now I use a coconut oil cooking spray. No calories or sodium.

I definitely see some slimness in your belly. Congratulations on the weight you've lost so far. I think I'm really lucky to have found your post, because in 2 months I've lost only 8 lbs, and I was just feeling really discouraged today as well because my weight loss is a lot slower than I've anticipated. I'm 5'1, started…

I love this program, I'm on Week 5 myself. PLEASE take rest days. They are so important. If you need to repeat days or a whole week in the program, go ahead. I personally run 4 days a week (mon wed fri sat) and it works fine for me. I'm not a very fast runner, right now I'm just trying to get to a point where I can jog/run…

I actually love the workout capris from Old Navy. They are moisture wicking, a bit thicker material than tights or leggings but I don't get too hot running in them. And they aren't that expensive, and they always have a deal going on.

30 years old. Restarted this thing again here in July. But it's gonna stick! I run for cardio and I love it. Feel free to add me. SW: 173 CW: 166 GW1: 130 GW2: 115 (maybe)

This is such a good idea. It could be really beneficial for many people to see graphs that look like yours, or with even more squiggle lines! I'm only at 38 days, but when I get to 90, I will definitely post!

I struggled with something very similar. To help combat, I took dance classes in my college ( I was a musical theater major), and many of my acting classes just happened to be really physical and started with at least a full half hour of yoga. Eating right in college is so difficult though, I definitely struggled.…

See if there is a YMCA around you. They tend to have pools. Swimming is great cross training for runners. So is weight lifting. You can do it. You are back on.

I love a slice of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter. That's definitely my fave. But you should definitely include a snack that is high in iron. A hard boiled egg and some nuts might do the trick for you. Good luck!

Add me as well. I am here for a second time. Doing it different by adding friends to motivate me. It definitely helps.

If you are going to run using the c25k program (which I ADORE, it's awesome, and you will love it), don't cut out carbs completely you will need a certain amount to give you enough energy to run. Also, yes, just stay in your calorie deficit, and you will lose weight.

I use the Couch to 5k program, and I love it. It's awesome for new runners. It's helping be build my endurance up. I'm on week 4, and next week I will doing my first run with no walking intervals, and I'm very excited to see how I do. I absolutely recommend it.

I eat back my burned calories, but only half of them. So if I burn 300, I only eat back 150. Especially since there's a lot of overestimates.

I used to work at Victoria's Secret, and even though not everyone feels comfortable in the brand, they/we DO know how to bra fit. At least here in Manhattan we do! That being said, it sounds a bit like your band is too tight. If when you take it off at the end of the day, it shouldn't leave red indentations. And because a…

Also, I'm a big fan of running. I'm a beginner, currently doing the couch to 5k program, and I love it. It's an 8 week program, and I'm on week 4. If you are a new runner, it's the best way to start.

My advice is don't worry about losing fast. It will not stay off in the long run. I'd say you could safely lose 10 lbs a month with eating right and exercising. When you do it right, and maintain after, the weight will absolutely stay off. Good luck.

I don't need to lose the same amount as you, but I love supportive friends. Keep at it girl, you can do it. I also think there's a thread somewhere around here for people who have to lose larger amounts of weights, if you'd like to locate people who relate to you a bit more. ☺️

I will help too! I totally feel you about looking at slimmer girls and wishing I looked like that. Something I try to do instead is look up #reasonstobefit on tumblr, Instagram, Google, whatever. It shows pictures and inspirational quotes of physically strong women. It def keeps me wanting to work out on days when I don't…

I definitely love my wine. I have a glass a few times a week, but I always log it. My other go-to drink if I'm out is coconut rum and pineapple juice. And if I know I'm going out and want to indulge a little, I'll put in a really good work out and eat lighter throughout the day. I don't think anyone should cut out…

Gummy vitamins for adults. I'm a kid at heart. And I don't swallow correctly, so swallowing pills is difficult for me.

We need a bit more info. Do you feel sick during your run, or immediately after? I also want to say it's due to dehydration. When I first started running, I wouldn't cool down properly. After a run, I need to walk for a full 5 minutes before I stop moving. I have gotten sick many a time cuz of that. You live and you learn,…

Leftovers: grilled fish tacos made of salmon, tomatoes, cilantro, bit of chicken broth, on a tostada shell.
