Thanks for the warning/advice!! Lol good to know

I carry it in my stomach, I don’t want to go to the gym every day and get sore beforehand, but I think I should go every other day up until I go? I normally go like 1-2x a week... I logged my weight almost every day last year, and I looked and saw I was 190 when we went skiing last year and I thought- really?! Omg what on…

Did you get through it easier the 2nd time? I ran 1.5 miles with 4 wall breaks and it wasn’t enjoyable so I’m thinking for me to enjoy it again is to go back to the beginning again!

Thanks for the insight, something to keep in mind next time I decide to stop running for so long!

Ok I see c210k starts off easier

I would hate to do c25k, it took me 12 weeks instead of 8 to complete, I just don’t want to go all the way back down!

I did C25K last year and I went from zero running to a 40min comfortable 5k, so I had used that to learn to run for a longer period of time... should I restart th C25K and run faster at the intervals?

I'm nowhere near that fit, my foot is numb and my sciatic is killing my leg from pushing myself... i was almost 300 pounds a few years ago, and Im 200 pounds and never did an ounce of exercise until I was 29! I run 2.5miles twice a week and my slow run can take me 35min to do that, and walk/run the 3rd day for an hour, I…

I'm definitely diligent with my food, it's actually from a meal prep place and all the food is weighed and portioned so I know I'm on point as far as calories go... but I've been having 1-3 cheat days out of 7 for a year now, and in that time I've gained 10 pounds

I lost 10 pounds (80 pounds prior to that) but gained it back because I became more hungry and having too many off diet days... I lost 1/2 a pound to 1 pound a week when I was running, until I started to over eat. In general I lost 0.75 pounds a week over 1.5 years The last year I've lost NOTHING!! I've been yo yo-ing…

Okay I never really thought about that! Some days 1300 is fine and other days I need more like 1700! Very helpful thanks!!

I'm 200 now (188 last year), I was 280 a few years ago, according to the bmi chart I need to be 176 to be considered overweight and not obese... that's honestly my goal for now... any ideas on what my macros should be or should I just focus on eating a healthy 1600 calories in general and ignore my macros

No I never have, because if I wanted that one binge day a week, I couldn't do that and lose weight... but again I don't have much appetite after I exercise, I tend to get hit with the hunger bug the days following

Under 30mins would be a dream! When I started doing run/walk last year my knees were in so much pain I was in tears- I legit never exercised until now, but got my 5k PR from 44min to 36min, and that 36min run was the most painful run from beginning to end, I pushed way too hard and broke down because of the pain at the…

I actually get less hungry after I run, I lose my appetite! But the following day I hungry, also when I'm ovulating and prior to my period, so I want to increase my calories (and macros?) to something so I don't feel like I'm always on edge of being hungry even on good days

I started with a dietician, and she was very informative, but it got expensive, and somehow without telling her about my one binge day a week I lost weight with her... she gave me 1200-1450 calories/180 carbs/ 100+protein/48 fat/ 36 sugars... so now I'm doing som research and seeing that I should increase my calories to…

I'm still obese, and short lol so I run 2.5-3 miles twice a week, so with 5min warm up it's about 40min, and I walk for 1.5hrs with my kids the 3rd day.... I see that I can choose lightly active etc in the choices so with that I'm not sure what to choose?

I only stretch after my runs for a few min at most so I'll try stretching daily

Since I've been running twice a week and walking with my kids once a week over the past 2.5mos I've gone from 14:30min miles to 14min or 13:45min miles for easy runs, so I do feel more of a want to push to go faster... my PR was 36min flat last August, but my goal is to be under 40min, it would REALLY boost my…

I run 2.5 miles twice a week, I'm still obese so I walk for a couple hours on the 3rd day as my knees don't like 3 days of running, but if I push and run fast for too long then they seize, my body wanted to keep running farther today than my calves so I know I ran pretty fast but I felt the urge to push myself a bit more

Well... now that I think about it, normally I drink lots of water, but yesterday I didn't eat healthy and didn't drink as much water as I normally do, but any other day is still 40-60oz of water

40-60oz of water a day

***update*** Well I stepped on the scale and magically I'm down 2 pounds! Did it a few more times just to be sure, but I guess it was a plateau, which seems a weird time to have one.

Oh well yes this has happened to me over the years! I had plateaus and some weight gains, but then it would come off, so overall I would lose an average of a pound a week.. sometimes more, rarely a gain, and lots of plateaus... but I'm basically starting my diet over and not seeing a loss in the first 2 weeks so that is…

Thanks for the insight. I've lost 90 pounds since August 2015, but gained 10 back since last spring

Okay, I'm just so used to what my dietician drilled into my head, I did well with her instructions and didn't even have cravings for sweets etc and lost 1-2 pounds a week and had energy so I kind of look at her as a God of diets lol! But I'll try to keep that in my head that fats aren't the devil

I remember now, she told me to watch the fat cuz I used to be 65+ grams of fat, so she just said to keep an eye on it but it's okay as long as it's healthy fats... I have no health concerns, I'm all good, but I am obese at 30 at 200lbs and don't want to be develop any health problems, so I'm just generally trying to lose…

Just to note- I don't see a dietician anymore but I was with her for 6 months last year to learn how to eat better... I do typically eat a lot of meat and not much veggies so she kept me at 1200 at least, to 1450 calories, 100 protein/163 carbs/ 48 fat, and I tend to go over fat and never over on carbs, it's just what…

I only went over 100 calories for the day, so I agree with u, so that's why I'm trying to look at my macros

Okay good point
