Personal Goal: 2700 min / 45 hrs December Total: 2853 min / 47.5 hrs I'm pretty happy with the result. I knew I had to push to maintain, yet I surpassed my goal B) I managed to lose another 6+lbs this month too. My secondary goal of introducing more variety was successful. I had been running, walking, and calisthenics, but…

W8D3 complete B) Technically Monday should be my "graduation" run, but I have my first race. I'll run the last c25k leg on Wednesday. I'll probably start c210k in the new year, to keep pushing myself :) Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

My first race is at noon on boxing day, so I'll start on the 27th.

Many people have complex thoughts on this subject, but many seem to be around 50% eat rate or so. I don't bother with the math though. I let the scale tell me what to do. If I lose weight too fast, I eat more. Too slow, I eat less. I weigh myself weekly so that I don't over react to changes. I started walking at first too.…

I'm in. For 8 weeks now I've been waking up at 4am to run c25k 3 days a week, but I want to do more on rest days. Not sure about the timing though, being off work for 10 days, I might sleep in until 6 :D

Some great comments / advice so far! The only thing I can add, is take a stroll around through the success stories section of the forum. Find people who have similar stories, and message / add them as friends. Knowing someone understands, is awesome! You are not alone! You're honesty is inspiring! You found the right path,…

Week 8, day 2 complete B) One more training day to go.

Don't be discouraged. I'm going to assume that the 145.5 was WAY off. Was it the same scale, time of day, same conditions -> "sickness pays off". I'd suggest that sickness scewed the numbers. You're 0.2lbs down, despite having been sick :)

Week 7 complete B) It's been a chilly week. Today it was -16 celsius when I went out :# First race is boxing day. I don't expect to win anything with my 6:30 min/km pace, but it will be fun!

Great loss so far!! I'm sure you'll figure things out. They may not have the same exercise facilities, so take up running, calisthenics, kettlebell, resistance bands, or just go for longer walks. I'm 44lbs down just eating less and moving more - no gym membership or fancy machines yet. I'd recommend c25k if you want to…

Probably water weight. I used to think I gained 2-3lbs every weekend. Once I drank the same amount of water on weekends, my weight has been consistent. Also, be sure to weigh the same thing - same time of day, after bowel movements, and wearing the same clothing. I'm 2lbs heavier towards the end of the day, my movements…

Almost 4lbs pounds a week is quick!!! Initial weight loss often is, so I'm not too worried about that, unless it keeps up. If you have any concerns about it though, despite what anyone on here says, talk to your doctor. 1600 a day seems a bit light to me. I'm 41, male, 6'0" tall, currently about 235lbs. My activity is set…

One week into this, I'm changing my goal. It was 24 hours, but at this rate, I'll have that after 17 days. I'll need the push at the end of the month, with c25k finishing and 10 days off work, including 5 days with family that don't exercise.

I may need to adjust my goal. At this rate I'll reach 24 hours in 2 weeks.

This is awesome :) and exactly what I need right now! I'm in week 5 of couch to 5k run training, and I've been trying to figure out what to do on rest days. This will give me an extra push to find something. Haven't tallied my total exercise bedore, so I'll keep the 24 hour mark as my goal and see how it goes. I'll read…
