I started it today. How are things going?

I started today. I feel like I am eating constantly but never feel full. We'll see how the workout goes tonight.

So I finished C25K at the end of April and then took a little break from running and was doing 30 Day Shred. I realized I actually missed running (who would have thought !?!?) and re-started C25K this week. I am just doing it over again to increase my speed. The first time, I was only "running" at 4.5mph because I was…

You mentioned you are burning 900-1000 calories per workout and calorie intake is 1100-1400 daily. Are you eating back those exercise calories? If not, your net calories for the day are too low. I had the same problem in the beginning when I was doing a lot of cardio. I lost a bunch at first but then completely stalled. I…

I totally agree! Seems like almost all of my weight lost so far has been from my boobs :( Didn't have much to begin with and now even less. Wish the fat would leave my belly so at least my boobs would look a little bigger!

I completed C25K a few weeks ago and did the whole program on the treadmill. When I tried to run outside, I thought I was going to die after only a minute. I'm guessing I just need more practice, but I really have problems pacing myself outside which I think is the bigger issue for me. I jog pretty slow, so it's probably…

I'm 5'9" and started at 210. Lost a bunch in the beginning but I am exercising more so the loss has slowed due to gaining muscle. Clothes keep getting looser so that's what I'm focusing on :)

I would definitely recommend the C25K (couch to 5k) program. I started it earlier this year. When I started, jogging for a minute was hard. Now I am on week 8 (although it has taken me a little longer than 8 weeks because I didn't always do it 3x a week) and am jogging for 25-30 minutes at a time. I walk at 3.5 and jog at…

I started at about 210 and hadn't worked out in 4 years. I am down almost 20 lbs and am on the last week. The last workout kicked my butt (jogging for 20 min straight) but I was so proud of myself when I finished it. Just remember, you don't have to run fast. I jog at 4.5 mph and walk at 3.5mph. Once you get the hang of…

I love Hungry Girl too! I have made a lot of her recipes. Most have been yummy. Can't get over the texture of the tofu shirataki noodles though- yuck. I made one of her cupcake recipes (can't remember what it was called but it was a box of devil's food cake and a can of pumpkin- that's it) for work and everyone loved them…

Hi everyone! I am just getting started again on MFP and saw this post. I am hoping to lose 50-55 pounds (I am currently down 10 from my all-time highest weight). I live in Wisconsin and have 3 year old twin boys. I am 19 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was trying to lose weight when I got pregnant. I am tired…

Hi, I'm Jessica. I'm new to MFP and am a working mom of twin boys. It's very hard for me to find time to exercise so I joined this group for some extra motivation! Age: 33 Height 5'9" SW- 202 CW- 200 GW- 150 to 160

I'm new to the group and sort of new to MFP. I live near Beaver Dam but grew up in the Madison area.

I don't think losing 8 pounds in 2 months is really that bad. 1-2 pounds per week is what doctors recommend. So you are on the slower side of that.....try not to get frustrated yet. I know I always want to lose weight quickly and see results, but I'm learning that when it comes off quick, it usually goes back on quick as…

Wow, I feel like this is my post. My twins are 26 mos and for the past 2 years I have lost and re-gained the same 10 pounds or so. I only gained 37 lbs while pregnant (they were born at 31 weeks) and lost all but the last 10 pounds pretty quickly. At one point I was about 5 pounds under my pre-prego weight and it was…

I just have 2 crazy dogs, but I am interested in getting a potbellied pig someday. Unfortunately they are illegal in our town so I'll have to wait until we move to the country. I think by that time the dogs will be in doggie heaven and my twin terrors will be older so I can focus more on training a pig anyway.
