Way to go!! C25k was lifechanging for me - seriously, not even an exaggeration. I started the program back in October and couldnt even run for 3 minutes straight...and well, I ran a half marathon in 2 hours on the dot last weekend. Now I LOVE running and it helped me lost 60 lbs!
-
I made a lot of things that were too big work for as long as I could - using belts and cardigans, etc. but eventually just bit the bullet and bought new. While I was still losing, I did a LOT of dresses and tunics/leggings for work. They tend to last longer size-wise and I didnt have to buy expensive new dress pants! I've…

I am 5'8. I started at 220 and my original goal was 170 just because it was a 50 lb loss. I am now at 159. My ultimate goal is 150 - but I havent seen that number in YEARS so I am just kinda going with what I'm doing right now and will see if I get there. I am really happy with my body right now at 159 though- I am a size…

You look incredible!!

This! Silicone hair tie for pony, another for bun, and a headband! lol

4 oz chicken (seasoned with lemon pepper), close to 3/4 cup of long grain and wild rice and 87g of broccoli - meal prepped yesterday. I had 113g of unsweetened applesauce with it. Now its almost snack time!
-
6 days a week. 1-1.5 hours.

Not always and not all of them.

The elliptical at the gym shows WAY more calories burned than my heart rate monitor - over 100 calories off. I used to think I was getting a great burn on the elliptical until I started using a heart rate monitor! I switched to the arc trainer and burn way more (though still not as many as the arc trainer shows!). If you…

I dont have much issue sticking to 1200. Breakfast - Greek yogurt (100-130 calories) - but I am not a big breakfast eater. Lunch - This really varies but can be a sandwich and fruit, ground turkey with rice and veggies, leftovers, etc but is usually around 300 calories Afternoon Snack - varies but can be fruit, granola,…

I make ton of recipes from here - http://www.emilybites.com/ http://drizzlemeskinny.com/ Some recipes are more complex/time intensive than others but there are also tons of quick and easy recipes. Rarely are they over 400 calories for a serving (often less!) and have really enjoyed almost everything I have made from each…
-
To an extent, absolutely. I have not 100% eliminated ANY single thing from my diet. I eat all of the things I like. I have a soda here and there. I have pizza 2-3x a month. I eat froyo a few times a WEEK. I go out to eat. I celebrate events with friends and family. I live life. In a perfect world, I could eat 4 slices of…
-
This is totally me, every month. The day before it shows up, I am STARVING. I just try to make my extra snacks healthy ones and don't go too crazy, haha!
-
Sounds yummy! When I'm being lazy..I just slice a banana, freeze it and drizzle a little choc syrup on top before eating. It's a yummy sweet treat!
-
Single serve bags of popcorn, Special K pastry crisps, granola bars, pretzel sticks, cuties (I bring 3-4 on monday), instant oatmeal, rice cakes, Fiber one bars for a sweet treat, raisins, etc. I don't keep all of it at once but its the stuff I like to rotate through!
-
I don't really have a "method"..other than consistency! I consistently logged every meal and stayed at or really close to my calorie goal (minus Thanksgiving and Christmas! lol moderation is key!). I consistently didn't eat out. I consistently worked out 5-6 days per week. Etc etc. I did lose the first 20 in the first…
-
I lost 20 lbs my first month too - not totally unusual to lose a lot quickly in the beginning but it should slow down. I would run it by your doc, just in case!
-
Bagel thin with FF cream cheese. Greek yogurt.
-
I dont mind Arctic Zero..but I prefer Halo Top for low calorie ice cream! Way creamier and better.
-
I didnt know you could copy someone elses meals..learning so much here! lol
-
Okay cool - I didnt know I could do that!
-
WAY TO GO! Mine is in 2 weeks and I am TERRIFIED. I couldnt even run for 5 minutes without wanting to die when I started Couch to 5k in October..but I think I'm ready..as long as I don't psych myself out!!
-
Yep! This happens to me after a long run - for me, if I run more than 6 miles, I am STARVING the next morning. I eat a little extra but make those extra calories healthy calories!
-
I am 5'8. Current weight - 163.4 Goal - Somewhere between 155-160 I started at 221.
-
I am also 5'8. I started at 220 lbs, and am at 164 now. My first big goal was 170 and my ultimate goal is 155 since I am about a size 8 when at 155 and happy at that. Right now at 164, I am about a 10 on the bottom, size medium tops.
-
Big glass of water and maybe a small snack.
-
I also suggest getting the junk food out of the house :) I get the munchies at night too but it's pretty hard to go crazy and overboard when your kitchen and pantry are stocked with veggies and healthy items! I know that if I had a box of cookies or a bag of Doritos..they would be staring at me and tempting me and I would…
-
^Pretty much this exactly. I have also been known to pour things into a mixing bowl for weighing purposes! The only thing I worry about then is if the portion I scoop out has more pasta than chicken, or more cheese than chicken, etc etc but I give myself a calorie buffer at the end of the day so I'm not too worried about…
-
Light Olive Garden Italian and Bolthouse Greek Caeser are my fav right now! I also just use salsa sometimes!
-
I have a 15 min drive to the gym - I have to hop on the highway so walking isnt an option. I dont really have a closer option.
