This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! It sounds like you’re enjoying it too. I can also relate to feeling ashamed. But I think now, looking back, as long as we keep it moving and don’t let that be a hurdle we have every reason to be proud of the progress. Today I woke up at 730 on a Saturday and hit the park. I had…

I wanted to love it but it’s not for me. But I have a lot of friends who LIVE for it. Glad to hear you love it and have had so much success. 26lbs is amazing.

Progress today! I ran 2.2 miles total but the last 1/2 mile I ran fully. Where before I would have to stop and walk/jog, I was able to keep going the full loop. Slowing down has been key. Thank you guys for the great advice. So excited!

Ahhhhh! I hear you. But in a way it’s a great thing too. 🙌🏼 on the dedication to your daughter and rooting her on. I hope your reunion with running, and the training consistency, makes you fall in love with the sport this time. It is coming slow for me but I may just be finding it. Let us know how it goes. ::reminding…

I forgot to mention I also do spinning and love it. But spinning seems easier overall, though still challenging and a great workout.

Agree other types of exercise, including HIIT, can be great to incorporate. Personally running/jogging I am seeing as more of an activity I want to enjoy and get the added benefits of fitness. It seems like a perfect way to get fresh air, clear the mind, and get a great workout all at once. Plus it’s free 🙌🏼

Interesting. Why’s that?

All really good advice. Couldn’t agree more. And will be getting fitted for sneakers/trainers this weekend :)

Agreed. I love mine. Very easy to use and sync. Been using it for over a year and it consistently tracks what I need and stores data in a way that’s easy for me to find. (I am NOT techy) On the pricier side but still worth it. Also, as a watch person in general, it’s stylish enough to use daily - can customize with…

This is awesome - good for you 👏🏼 Definitely let me know how it’s coming along. I can’t wait to be at week 7 ☺️

Wow guys! Again, thank you so much for your input. The guidance has really been helpful...maybe even transformational. Upon the advisement to take things a bit slower, I did. And what a difference! I slowed down the pace on my 60-sec runs and was able to keep the momentum without getting breathless. Towards the end I was…

Thank you for the guidance - agreed. Also, I definitely will check it out!

Thank you - great advice! Although I’m pretty slow as it is 😂

This gives me hope! This is probably my 4th or 5th time as well. Sticking with it for sure!

Wow! Firstly, thank you, all! 🙏🏼💜 Secondly, these are all amazing tips. I hadn’t considered some of them. I think those who mentioned going slow and/or enjoying the process vs trying to reach a specific pace or time all at once really resonated. I can be especially hard on myself and this has been no different. Yes I feel…

Back on MFP after a few years. Looking for motivation and running/jogging, general fitness and healthy eating tips! Looking forward to connecting with others on their own health journey 🙌🏼
