Hi, I am in the same boat. I have a 7 month old, I need to lose 20 pounds as of this morning. I am setting a goal to be back at my pre-pregnancy weight by his 1 year birthday.

Sounds like everyone is doing great! Keep it up :)

Don't give up. You will get it. I had one of those moments today, "I do not feel like going to the gym" then I remembered why I am going.

Fell a little behind last week. Finished week 2 day 3 today.

Way to go!!

Great job evreyone! Blitzer32, are your shin splints getting better? Burlingtongirl, nice job! Schizo12901, I am jealous, wish I was on Week 5!

Way to go susanne3081! Is it getting hardier?

Way to go everyone!! I am a day behind also. I completed Week 2 day 3 today. Better late than never :)

SavvyGurl0528 , how is it going?

bbthetwn, how is it going?

Anyone else on week 2? If so, how is it going?

Seems several people have started and stopped. Do not give up! You can do. Knickersb1, you can do it, keep pushing!

So, I completed Week 1 Day 1 yesterday using the C25K Free app on android. I have to say the app made it really easy. I jumped on the treadmill at the gym, watched NCIS, and completed the 30 minutes in what seemed like no time. How did everyone else's first day go?

Who started yesterday? When is everyone else starting?

Starting week 2 today. For the people who are taking the challenge, how is it going?

Starting weight 154 goal 135. In the next 4 weeks I need to lose 6.25 pounds. Plan of attack, more exercise, keep calories within recommended allowance.

I turn 30 next July so I have 11 months. Goals: Lose 20 pounds. Finish a book I have been working on for about a year. :) Increase sales for my business.

It is my understanding that you can do 8 reps of one exercise of 2 reps of 4 different exercises; the entire workout is 4 minutes. When you go longer 20-30 minutes then it is a more traditional form of HIIT training. Correct??

Nicely put.

Yes, my gastro dr put me on a daily dose of dulcalax. There are not suppose to be any long term effects. Seems to work for me, better than Miralax.

Thanks for all the great ideas.

How is your water intake?

That is what I have been trying to do, but have found that I don't save enough to cover eating with him.

I like that approach, thanks.

Hi Kim, Welcome, you can overcome this!!!

Thank you for posting, I am in the same boat, I have noticed that restricting carbs helps a lot, even more so than just counting calories.

I have had PCOS for 11 years. I am currently on metformin (500mg 2x a day). It has been a little over a month, not showing any weightloss nor is it helping to prevent the cyst. But, I am going to try it for 6 months to see.

Hi, I am 5'3" want to lose 20-25 pounds. I have PCOS, endo and type 2 diabetes.

Count me in! I am in the exact same boat, 5'3" weighing between 153-159; and my goal is 130-135. We can do this!!!

Alli does work. Since it punishes you for eating the wrong foods, you learn to eat healthier. The only problem there is that when you stop, you may be easily tempted to eat everything in sight. I also found it was hard to remember to take a pill 3x a day.
