I'd like to join the challenge!

I'm late to this thread, but need the accountability, so going to hop in! Goal: 192 Feb 9: 197 Feb 16: Feb 23: Feb 29:

Hello everyone! I'm starting to run again. Doing run/walk with the C25K app. Goal is to run/walk 4 days a week weather permitting and strength train 3 days. I do not like to run on a treadmill, so I go to the gym on bad weather days. Good luck everyone with your goals!

Just wanted to say great job to those of you staying sober and keep up the good work! I'll have 11 years in July thanks to the AA program and fellowship. Best thing I ever did, although the first few years were a bit like trying to climb Mt Everest, lol.

This morning I did 4.8 miles run/walk. 5 min walk/8 min run intervals, then uphill run/downhill walk intervals. Thinking about adding 3 full body strength training workouts 3 times a week on my walking days. Maybe ... bodyweight squats stepups bridges dumbbell rows or lat pulldowns bench or dumbbell flys military press or…

Hi all! I am pretty new to running. I have actually never really enjoyed it, lol, but I started doing C25K in the beginning of May and somewhere along the line I have gotten hooked. I am still doing run/walk but slowly progressing. We have some decent hills in my neighborhood and I run up the hills and walk down them. This…

Okay, so it is Day 1 and I guess I am all alone in this, lol. My plan is to eat W30 with listed unapproved items. Walk my dog and maybe do a bike ride. Starting weight is 178.8.

I just bought a bike, so I don't know how long/far I'll go, but I'm in! Think I'll just try to go a little further each week and see how that goes!

Alrighty then. Here is my plan for a modified W30: Rule Breakers: Unapproved items I will eat: ketchup/mustard salad dressing Lara Bars Splenda I will also be weighing myself. Exercise/Activity Goals: At least 3 times a week for 40+ minutes Long term goal: Use this challenge to quit chips for good. As a reference point, I…

Be careful of camera angles. Those downward angled shots posted often on FB really CAN take 20+lbs off a person - and I know because I'm a professional photographer. At 5'3" and 170, you are obviously not a skeleton, so I'd just ignore the comment and become a bit more mindful of camera angles, trying to capture the most…

No cheat meals early in the game. It's too easy to fall off for me. Diet has to become a habit first. Then momentum needs to take over. Cheat meals are best for me when I hit a plateau. That little calorie boost can get my metabolism going again.

I used to be a daily weigher, but this time I decided to weigh myself once a week. The weigh ins are my "reward" for sticking to my plan all week. It gives me something to look forward to, rather than say, a cheat meal (which I also nixed).

Maybe he's afraid other men will be more interested after you lose the weight. Since you have had recent marital problems, his fear could stem from paranoia that you will find someone else.

If you do go to a Dr, which I suggest, have them also blood test you for RA factor and CCP.

Love the idea of weekly dinner themes! I may have to steal that! Your plan makes sense to me - I think planning is going to be important for me in the long run of making this a lifestyle. Thanks for your response! :)

Lower your calories or exercise more. If you are healthy and physically able, do sprints 2-3 times per week. Preferably uphill sprints because you can't get form wrong going uphill. Sprints get you lean faster than anything as long as you are at a small calorie deficit.They will also make your body look smoking hot.

That's awesome to hear you are stable without meds! I haven't been doing any sugar, except for occasional sauces (my weakness) like the BBQ I had tonight. :blush: I am also hoping the diet+exercise will help with symptoms! Good luck!
