I'm glad to hear this works for people! I am approaching maintenance and am trying this method. :)

Keep it up! I lost 130 lbs doing very low carb! :)It can be done!

I know someone who is following this and having good results. I don't know much about the program though.

During my run "I can do this, I AM doing this, I WILL do this, because I didn't come out here to quit, I came to run". B)

I have had the same issue every time I start a workout routine. And every time, until now, I quit because of it. However, I have now been working out for 4 months consistently (a new record for me, lifestyle change this time!) and started losing again after the 1st month. Keep at it, you can do this!!

So, I am a newbie too and found that I was getting sooo overwhelmed with fitness and exercising! I just finally decided to start slow with something I knew I was going to enjoy. I bought a cheap eliptical/bike combo and set out to do 20 minutes 2x's a week. I added more minutes eliptical and less minutes biking and could…

I started at 287 lbs and lost down to 160lbs. I regained to 225 lbs and am currently at 179. IT CAN be done, I am proof. I have been overweight since I hit puberty! Your doctor is WRONG!

I'm on W3D2 of C25k today and am registering on Friday for my first 5k! October 31st! Congrats on your 1st race! :smiley: You have certainly inspired me and given me courage to just sign up and run already! :)

Had to buy a new belt today! My husband just put a hole in it for me 4 weeks ago. That is 2.5 inches gone in my waist!

Keep at it! :)

Welcome! I am on W3D2 tomorrow! I can't believe how well I am progressing! This program is working for me.

Yes! I manage a convenience store. The whole place screams unhealthy!! And it yells at me daily, Fresh donuts and pizza!! ;)

I didn't do push ups or sit ups! I was exhausted after work. But, I did my run yesterday and am moving on to week 3 tomorrow. I am nervous about it, not sure about 2.5 minute run but I will give it my best effort!

Way to go! :smiley: Keep it up!!

I am in South Dakota. I am looking forward to it getting cooler also, but NOT looking forward to winter!! Brrr! It gets pretty cold here sometimes, but the wind is the worst part!

Hot and humid here today! Next week is looking great, but that won't help for my run today! Lol! I'm pushing on through the heat! :)

I am using the Fitness 22 app. I really like it. However, the distance is not very accurate. My last run it said I went 16km. Ummm....nope! :wink:

How'd the run go today?! I'm on a rest day today, but will be doing pushups and situps!

Yes! Running on grass would be way more difficult for me! I go to the local bike/walk path. It's by the river and provides great scenery! It's also only a 4 minute drive from my house, which I nice. I live in the Midwest and winter will be here soon. I'm not sure if I will be dedicated enough to run outside in the winter…

After 3 months of on plan eating, I ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked last night. I just reminded myself that I didn't get fat by eating a pint of ice cream once every three months!!! :wink: Today was an awesome workout and right back at it on my healthy eating!

W2D2 of C25k done today! B)

No problem! Just found this to be the news group on MPF for C25k and want to share my experiences and ask questions /get encouragement along the way! :) I was mistaken, today was W2D2. Great workout today! Feeling good and ready to keep progressing!

Depression is such a terrible thing because logically you know, but you can't bring yourself to accept the truth. I am wishing you all the best! I am greatful that I found a medicine that works well for me to manage my depression. I hope you can hang in there and see the results from therapy! Feel free to add me if you…

Do you have a history of depression? Is this your first time with any therapist?

My motivation? I want it all! I want health, fitness, energy, a sexy body! I want that WONDERFUL feeling and almost euphoria I get when I workout. I have a 12 year old daughter who was nearing 200 lbs. A 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter who are headed the same direction if I don't step in. I decided one day that I…

I follow Atkins 20 plan and go through the same thing. For me, I discovered it was more psychological than physiological. I crave those foods when it is a habit (foods at family get togethers, cake at birthday parties, etc...). I am learning to recognize when it happens and remind myself that I can change my relationship…

Congrats, Dan! What a HUGE accomolishment!

I'm following Atkins and not quite physically ready for C25k, but working on my fitness! Lovin my low carb life! (And, yes, I do watch calories also)

You may need to lose a little more before you start to feel the difference in your clothes. Usually, someone with more to lose takes more pounds lost to see results. It's all very individual. However, if you are eating right and exercising, you are making healthy choices and that's what matters in the long term. :)
