Also all the food from the meal prep gives basic info- cal/carb/protein/fat, they're known for low to no sugar and sodium in their foods which are made in house so that's why there's no data on most of my days concerning sodium/sugar

The brew burger etc most of this stuff is from a popular meal prep place, they all have some kind of a veggie with the meal and are pretty cheap. i am an extremely picky so I will literally eat the same thing almost every day for weeks until I get tired of it, then switch everything up and eat that for weeks on end... I…

I take a daily vitamin that's supposed to support weight loss, it's vitamin code- perfect weight... it's basically just a regular multivitamin but loaded with B vitamins and some green tea extract, but in all honesty if you're loading up on B vitamins and your urine looks like it can glow in the dark then you're peeing out…

I'm down 90 pounds, my weight loss slowed down over time but veryyyy gradually.. at 70 pounds down I stalled and probably wasn't trying my hardest, but ever since I hit 70 pounds down I have to work much harder to lose.. like you said when you're heavier you lose more in the beginning. As long as you're eating at a calorie…

I had lots of joint pains 2 years ago when I was almost 300 pounds, I feel like when I lost the weight my body didn't align itself back to normal or something Thanks everyone I'll look into the exercises and just basic running!

Do you have any recommendations of a link for exercises to strengthen my hip area?? It drives me MAD that after a tough run- my legs don't hurt, nothing really hurts much probably because all my pain is right where my leg and pelvis meet, that socket joint I guess you could say! I don't do my next run until I'm 90% healed…

Well when I finished the C25K it recommended me to increase my speed, so I'm just going along! I've been thinking of getting a heart rate monitor so I don't push myself and mainly work with that?

lol I've never heard of that! I like the intervals added, it makes the runs not as boring either

Okay that makes sense, I'm still new to understanding how fast I go vs how quick I run each mile, as I never paid attention to how fast I go per mile

It's hard to know how fast to jog, I feel I don't know my pace because I just set the machine, and outside I'm just guessing! I relied too much on the machine! I understand why it's important to run outside now too!

I have had a bit of a different response... I've lost one friend completely when I lost enough weight that- I think- her own insecurities came out and I wasn't able to talk about my weight loss or achievements or exercise so we faded away because of having to hide who I was... I get ignored by family members who are obese…

You may lose some friends, and gain new ones! I really am amazed how some of my relationships deteriorated, yet also new people I have met along the way!

Yes exactly!! I didn't even think about that happening

It is something I want to do when I finish the program, only w8d2 and 3 left, but I have god awful grass and pollen allergies, I'm a bit intimidated too, but it really is boring, I have been wondering if I would feel time pass by quicker when I go outside

Thank you everyone for the advice and insight! I'll keep going at the pace that doesn't kill me

Okay well, to be completely honest.. I feel like I should have some speed, and I'm nervous that if I slow down even more, i will get used to it and it will take forever to get to a good speed! Just a back story, I started doing the C25K after I ran a 5k with my 6 year old and hubby, and they left me in the dust lol! I had…

*** thank you everyone, I did the 20min run today! Although I made it through, that will be a day I repeat, it was rough lol

Add me girl! I've suffered depression and anxiety since I was a kid, and it hit harder, mostly anxiety after I had my kids... I had been told since middle school that exercise would help, eh whatever idk is what I thought! I have been running lately, and even when I went back to my psychiatrist I told him how I was…

Honestly I'm sure I have a weak core, i mean I was pushing 300 pounds a few years ago...I did pin some core exercises, but then I feel like doing the running 3x a week kicks my butt enough that I don't want to do more exercises and get too beat.. I think I need to figure out what days I would do that along with running

Thank you!- yes I do think it could be DOMS after reading more about it, definitely didn't come on until hours after the workout, it's definitely from running as I felt a tad bit of it after the run prior to last. it's hard because I don't have any family who runs and I got the- well it's bad for your joints etc, you prob…

feeling SO ACCOMPLISHED with running! Since starting C25K, I could barely run for 1min, I'm now up to 8min runs at a time!

I have to say 30 day shred- quick, intense and not boring! If you like a quick effective workout

Honestly- do you have a professional bra store, like a blums store in your area? I would go to a place that gives you a bra fitting from experts, I just had one, and I had tried on a few popular sports bras and although they were good, didn't fit me as good as another, so I think it really varies on what style you get for…

** 1/2 inch lost off each arm, and 2.25in off each leg, so I guess it's 8.5ish inches total? but you get the idea!

I'm leaning towards it being a mental thing... honestly I still have to get passed that too! Do you feel sore when you're running, sharp pains? If you have dull pains then you're okay.. sharp pains then you're doing it too fast. Are you focusing on your breathing? Shorter strides? For me when I'm doing the c25k, I turn my…

If you're new to running then yes it's normal!! I'm still fairly new to the running game, but I've learned a lot of SMART tips and now I have zero pain even with increased running time! Make sure u warm up- simple walking for 5min, it warms up your muscles and can help prevent injuries- from advice on here, and my own…

Getting your period or ovulating? I'm in the same situation, been 2 weeks of not losing, but I've been at this for the last 2 years and down 90 pounds... sometimes it's just a plateau and I end up losing again by the 3rd week... or the extra snacks etc added up! It's not uncommon to hit a plateau, from what I understand,…

Yes, me, I can't just have a little cheat meal, I go overboard all dat, and it's bad! The only thing helping me now is, now that I'm going farther and farther between binges and eating (pretty) clean, I get stomach aches and end up up most of the night going to the bathroom, my body can't handle eating like that anymore-…

My mom had weight loss surgery, and a year after losing the weight, she got hip pain... basically the dr told her that she lost a lot of muscle along with fat, and the big loss in muscle was causing her pain, and was told to exercise From what I've always understood, you have to lightly exercise, some who lose weight and…

And yes I ate carbs- between 90-140g a day, over a period of 2 years (so far) so I do cut calories and watch my macros, but not as much as most, from what I gather
