Scarlet Jo and kat dennings for sure! Could they be more fab? Soft, curvy and so sexy

I sold all my clothing except for my biggest pair of jeans. I still have them in my closet and try them on from time to time to remind myself how I used to be and how i never want to be there again.

Ewww and add the word ointment along with that! Just saying it makes me feel gross
-
getting to eat so much food at maintenance ahahaha but in all seriousness just being able to say I did it without being crazy or crash dieting. And ideally to finish my half marathon at goal would be great.

its the truth... we do EVERYTHING better ahah

i think its totally a personal preference thing. I know a lot of people like thongs- i personally HATE them when running- in fact almost ripped it off during a long run recently because it was so uncomfortable. I like just plain jane full bum snug fitting undies. Nothing fancy. But i do agree with the boy shorts- they…

possibly bursitis or an IT band issue? I had a problem with IT band and found foam rollers did help and also the exercises suggested by the person above. I also found a great deal of help by visiting with a physio and chiropractor if thats an option for you.

have you considered having your stride analyzed? I cant tell you the number of people i see running at the gym who are completely gassed after 10-15 mins on th treadmill because they are wasting so much energy with unncessary movements. ie: WAY too bouncy, leaning too far forward etc- all these little thigns add up to your…

i have the tata tamer as well and i love it.. super supportive but i think it only goes up to a 38D the shock absorber is excellent. it doesnt look like it would do much ( the cups are soft and unlined) so i was hesitant to buy it at first but its sooo good! it was about 55$ and worth every penny. its more comfortable than…

invested in a few good bras: tata tamer from lulu as well as the shock absorber.. both around 60$ each as for pants i like running tights. I generally wear lulu lemons run inspire II crop ( they only go up to a size 12) butwhen i was larger I wore spandexy athletic pants from walmart/ target/ where ever. i personally like…

hahaha i love this!! i wouldnt say my butt was a big square- it certainly looked flatter and not very attractive ahaha and now i do have a much nicer rounder behind. squats and lunges are youre new best friend disguised as your worst enemy!! learn to love them lol

they can get expensive. I get that there is a cost assocaited with having a race but I think most of them are just a money maker. I did the colour run last year- i think it was like 45 or 50 a person. we did get some " swag" and some money went to a cause. I say if you really want to run it then just do it- the cost is…

hey girl its a common issue i started at 289 in a size 24- wore the same size for quite a while.. id say after i lost about 30 pounds i started buying smaller clothing but i also ran into the same problems as you. Id like to say it gets better, but i still have that problem. Im wearing a size 14 now, often times it fits…
-
thanks girl! routine varied quite a bit as my body was capable of doing more things. As it stands I do zumba 2-3 days a week ( its super fun, i go more for the atmosphere than anything ahah), Ive been trying to do weight training 3-4 days a week ( none of these sissy little girly weights- I say lift big or dont bother),…

i started this program at my heaviest at 289 about 7 months ago. I made it through about 80% of the program and I had to stop because I had some hip joint pain- which i later found out was a result of being too overweight and running ( this obviously wont be the case for everyone- unfortunatley for me it was painful enough…
-
you are looking great! and i can see the happiness on your face! best of luck with the rest of your journey, i have no doubt you can do this! :D

graduated today! I intially started the program about 7 months ago at my heaviest weight- around 290lbs and had to stop because of injuries. I started it again almost 80 pounds lighter with some reservations but was so excited to find that I could run for so much longer with no pain! I never thought Id be able to run for…
-
up to this point its been gym gear.. new running tights, shoes etc. When I hit 100lbs ( hopefully by july 1st) I was planning on getting an outfit from lululemon. I never reward myself with food, im not a dog ahaha
-
you look fab!! keep up the great work!

welcome ! i hope your c25k experience is a good one! :)
-
just finished w7d3- what a trip that was.. i wasnt expecting the addition of 5 mins to my run time would be so difficult lol. the last 3-4 minutes was a huge mental struggle for me. i literally had to repeat in my head " you wont die, just keep going" ahahah when all was said and done I got the 5k done in the 35 mins (…

starting week 6 today. This is my second time through the program ( the first time I had to stop at week 7 because of an injury) and Im very nervious for this week. This is the week where I started to really notice that I had to fight with my brain when it was telling me I needed to stop. Im hoping now, 71 lbs lighter,…
-
congrats youre looking fab!
-
i use pinterst as well as a bit of a motivator. I also have taken photos of myself at every 10 pound increment of weight loss for comparisons... its incredible how hard youll fight to lose weight when you see how gross you looked in a sport bra at your heaviest ahahah
