I ran my second 5K yesterday. Did not beat my PR, but came in 3rd overall and 1st woman at 30:28 :/ June Goal: 60 Miles 6/3 - 4.25 miles 6/4 - 3.1 miles (Rock the Park 5K)

So my first June run was today... It was supposed to be last night but hubby treated me to date night which included wine and desert :/ . I planned on getting up early but overslept all the way to 8am. I have not slept past 6am in the past 10 years!!! So I scrambled to get ready and skipped breakfast. My broken in running…

For me the issue is in being bored or idle. I had a screensaver on my phone that said "You are not hungry, you are bored!" Any time I would start thinking about eating something, knowing full well that I had enough to eat at my last meal, I would find something to do to take my mind off the food. That definitely cut out a…

I feel like that what worked for me is completely cutting out processed and artificial sugar. I did not even use honey. I stopped eating all processed food and dairy too. That definitely stopped the "hungry" feeling. However, just like @When_Bears_Attack I still have hard time feeling when I have eaten enough while I am…

And my last update for May.... Congratulations to all! May Goal: 38 miles 5/2/17 - 3.1 5/4/17 - 3.1 5/7/17 - 3.1 5/9/17 - 2.0 - Treadmill :/ 5/11/17 - 2.0 - Treadmill :/ 5/14/17 - 3.1 5/16/17 - 3.1 5/18/17 - 3.1 - Best 5K time :smile: 5/20/17 - 3.1 - First 5K Race 27:28 (My best time ever!!) 5/22/17 - 4.0 5/24/17 - 4.0…

I'm in! June running goal: 60 miles June weight goal: 149lbs

Yes, I love the C25K program! And I meant I am training for a 10K in October :smile:

Congratulations!! I too am in my mid thirties and just ran my first 5K two weeks ago in a very unexpected time. Now I am training for a 5K in October. Seems like we have a same timeline :)

It feels like I have been gone forever! Hope everyone had a nice long weekend :smile: May Goal: 38 miles 5/2/17 - 3.1 5/4/17 - 3.1 5/7/17 - 3.1 5/9/17 - 2.0 - Treadmill :/ 5/11/17 - 2.0 - Treadmill :/ 5/14/17 - 3.1 5/16/17 - 3.1 5/18/17 - 3.1 - Best 5K time :smile: 5/20/17 - 3.1 - First 5K Race 27:28 (My best time ever!!)…

:D I definitely thought about it but the park was crowded yesterday.

Definitely find something you enjoy, then start out slow. When I just started walking is all I did. Then I got a fitbit to track my steps and totally got hooked on getting 10k-15k steps a day. On one of my walks I felt like I wanted to go a bit faster so I ran for about 30 seconds and felt like I was dying. But eventually…

Okay, so what is up with my nose running like crazy while I am running? This just started last week and it is not allergies as I have no issues otherwise.

Congratulations on having a baby! :) I too have Hashimoto's as well as PCOS and insulin resistance and have lost 82lbs so far without any issues. I do not eat any refined sugars, sugar substitutes, dairy or processed food. That was just something I decided to do, not doctor recommended but I believe that it helped stop…

This post had me check my driver's license as I have not had it updated since I got married and changed my name in 2003. It says I weigh 160lbs and I weigh 153lbs now. I am definitely changing that next year when I renew :smile: I actually never set a big goal and I am going until I get there. However, I did set small…

Your hart rate will improve. The image on the bottom is when I just started C25K program in March and the top image is this past Saturday, running a 5K.

Your symptoms definitely point to under active thyroid. I have Hashimoto's and PCOS, insulin resistant. I firmly believe that being on right medication and having my hormones in check is what kick started my weight loss. However, I did cut out all dairy products and processed fats. I do not eat low fat, just no processed…

I am 5'5" and 34 years old. I lost 82lbs, 235 to 153, and have few more to go.

Congratulations! You look AMAZING :smile:

Congratulations!! 17lbs is BIG, don't take that away from yourself :smile:

@lporter229 @MobyCarp @wishiwasarunner @Stoshew71 - Thank you all for the advice! I will just have to rearrange my schedule to fit in more running. If I start working an hour later I could do one workout in the morning and one in the afternoon. I'll just have to plan better :smile: May Goal: 38 miles 5/2/17 - 3.1 5/4/17 -…

I going to start training for a 10k this afternoon with a C10K app. I am planning on running my first 10k in October this year. Then half marathon spring 2018 and full marathon fall 2018. I am new at running (I just started running in March) and have loads of questions. Two I am obsessing about now are: Will I be able to…

Everyone here looks AMAZING! I am 82lbs down and have a little bit more to go. Photo on the left is at 235lbs and the photo on the right is at 153lbs.

I am only 17 days late, but better late then never :smile: May Goal: 38 miles

Thank you all for your suggestions! My husband is reading your replies and saying: "I told you so!" Okay I'll let him have this one :smile: Although, I do believe you all are right to recommend slowing down and increasing calorie intake I do want to say that, aside from the first 5-6 weeks, I did not feel hungry, tired, or…

I will have my endocrinologist order more detailed labs. At the last one they only checked thyroid function and A1C. My testosterone is usually elevated due to PCOS... In the past, I would massage coconut oil into my hair 1-2 hours prior to washing it and that always seemed to help alleviate that 'sesonal' hair loss. Not…

I use nut oils (macadamia, walnut) and coconut oil for cooking. I eat avocados, nut butters (almond, cashew, hazelnut) and the bread I make at home is full of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and amaranth. I also use lots of tahini paste as a sauce/dressing. I will up my calorie intake by adding more fat and…

I am already taking 10,000IU daily, along with B12, B Complex, Iron and probiotic. Should I up the dosage?
