Ok, I know I am ridiculously slow, always have been, but finally 4 pounds down, 16 left till Christmas! I am running 25 minutes, 3 times a week now and that is the only way that I have gotten the scale to move. I am really working on drinking more water and getting away from processed foods, little by little. We can do…

I love C25K! Almost done, this is my last week and then on to decide what to tackle next! I am still figuring out what I want mymileage to be for next month. Will be checking up on y'all! Happy running!

Oh that is outstanding!!! So happy for you, worth every minute of your effort!!!

Thanks guys! I hate doctors... But no avoiding it I suppose. I have to get this looked at.

I wanted to update a little, in case anyone wondered. I am still on the C25K program. Just finished Wk 7 Day 1 and I do believe something in my thinking has changed towards running. I have been greatly encouraged by many but especially by NHoffman26, she said something last week that changed everything for me. She said"…

Is there a particular concern you have about your fish intake? The only concern I have ever read is the mercury content and I think it was referring to fresh not canned because of water pollution. I guess it is also a problem with canned or tuna in pouches. This mercury is more of a threat in pregnant or lactating women…

You look absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story, you are wonderful inspiration!

Girl if you can do an hour of Zumba non stop- you got this in the bag!!! I tried 10 minutes and I had to quit! I have no rhythm but in the privacy and secrecy of my room I think I'm Shakira!! No you are not too big- you are too fabulous -too wonderful and too fantastic. Period.

I am doing the C25k and logging everything I eat. I'm a contractor, so I eat out A LOT. It is awful. I am also a slow loser, which is discouraging, but I press on. Started at 209.4 July 2014- 199.5 right now. Slow and steady wins the race!

Congrats! Truly amazing!

Congratulations! So happy for you! Hope to join you in success sometime in 2015!

I can log my weight in once a month as well, so I guess I missed last week, or is it this friday we all begin? Start weight 7/6/14- 209.4 Present weight 199.7 Goal December weight 170.0

Feel free to add me, we all can do with positive caring encouragement!

What a champ you are! I absolutely love it, you did not give up. I am so glad that person took that photo of you at church! It was all in God's plan for you, just wonderful!

Oh that is so awesome! I want to do exactly that, well fall in love with running I mean. I am way too old to do half or full marathons but I would love, just love running 3 miles 3 - 4 times a week. That is my fondest dream.

You guys are the best inspiration, thank you!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I did day 1 of Wk 2, whoot whoot! I was so scared of not being able to run 90 seconds that I could not wait till tonight to try it and had to do it now. Hehehe this is nothing to most of you, but it is so big for me. I hope you all push on, you keep me inspired!!!

Great inspiration! Congratulations, you have always been beautiful, but now you're strong and healthy!!!

I started the C25k program last week. I own the Zumba DVD's and a Yoga for beginners DVD which I will use later. Sticking to C25k till I get more stamina.

Good luck! You can do this!

We are all in this together, I am looking forward to seeing your success!!

Congratulations! Awesome and very inspirational!

Agreed! I love my treadmill and until the weather cools off at the end of October I am not venturing out!

You wonderful, beautiful girl! Good for you, God bless you and keep you strong. I can't wait to see where this journey takes you.

I have been a member of MFP since 2011 and I have backslid enough myself. I have been back on a 1200 to 1400 calories of healthy food a day for three weeks and just got started with the C25K program. I not only want to lose weight I want to be strong enough to run three times a week, I've never been strong- I really want…

You are amazing! I know this took courage and built strength in you, God bless! I hope to join you in success!!

I am also new, well newly commited as of 3 weeks ago. I have been eating 1200 to 1400 calories a day and just started the C25K program last week as an adjunct. I would love to lose weight BUT my major motivator is getting stronger and fitter for the rest of my life. I wish you much success, both of us!

I am doing it on a Treadmill. It is really hot outside and I won't try it jogging outside until late October. I am hoping to be able to run my first 5K in January.

Hi Becka, it's a bit embarrassing to confess but here goes. I am 48 yrs. old and delivered 4 babies many moons ago. The last run I did was in my community's gym, it was a 25 minute run, 1 minute walk and 25 minute run. I was so elated I had finished I did not notice my pants were wet all the way to my socks until I fully…

You guys are all such great inspiration! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I will keep keeping on!!!:heart:
