hello all :) currently about 235 and the dreaded size 18!! haha!! haven't really lost a lot of weight since joining mfp, but at the start of my journey i was over 300 pounds and in a size 22 - 26 depending. In 2010, i was198 lbs and down to a stretchy size 12 and that was amazing!!! right now my first goal is to say bye to…

i like vegan yum yum and cheap and simple vegan recipes...there are a lot out there, but those are two i have found helpful...oh, also, vegan dad is great too!
-
looking for more pals as well :) i was a fairly strict vegan for several years, but sort of fell of the wagon during and after pregnancy : / trying to return to my old hardcore ways!

just like a lot of others have said - c25k. i tried at 280 pounds and made it up to week 4 or 5. now, at 230 pounds, i can now run over 30 minutes straight (it's VERY slow, mind you), but my endurance is up way higher than i ever thought possible :)
-
after 4 attempts i finally "finished" c25k this summer. i really don't consider myself finished though because i'm not up to the 3 miles in 30 minutes yet BUT the fact that i can run 3 miles straight AT ALL pretty much blows my mind...once i can do 3.2 miles in 30 minutes or less than i can really say that i've made it.…

i've taught 7th grade english for 9 years now * i can scarcely believe it's been that long already!! * i love it, but one thing i can say is they notice and comment on EVERYTHING! a hair out of place, an untied shoe, a hole in your shirt, a beer gut...EVERYTHING!!! lol...

houston here! i've been trying to run in the evenings, but still feel like i should log a minimum of 1274584752 extra calories burned for suffering through the heat!

looking for new friends as well :) i'm mom to an almost 18 month old and a middle school teacher so kids pretty much make up my entire life!

became somewhat of a lapsed vegan while pregnant with the gremlin i gave birth to 12/2010. since then i've struggled on and off to get back on the horse, but i never felt better than when i was 100% vegan! looking for more friends in that vein :laugh:

Houston :tongue:

good work! last week i was on week 5 myself...the 20 minute run was tough, but i found the 10 minute runs with 3 minute walks in between even tougher! argh!! but, i pulled through. next up is the 25 minute straight. i'm scared!!! haha... keep up the great work! i'm right there with ya!

i am also above 200 and looking for friends and support : p

In 2007, I was somewhere around 300 pounds. Soon after, I decided to go vegan and by early April of 2010 I found out I was FINALLY under 200 pounds (198 to be exact). That was also the day I found out I was pregnant! lol...so, needless to say, I have NOT been back to the lovely world of under 200 pounds since and I really…

finished level 2 wednesday...definitely behind schedule but not giving up. I have to say my measurements haven't been as impressive as i was hoping for, but i'm a realist. my eating has been erratic and i haven't done it as often as i should. not giving in though. my strength has DEFINITELY increased, so i know changes are…
-
so i finished level 2 day 2 yesterday and have found that i can pretty much not do anything that requires plank position! i am sure that it will get easier, but damn! it is a big step up in difficulty from level 1, but i'm not giving up!
-
it took me 16 days, instead of 10 *unfortunately* but i finished level 1 last night...wasn't going to try to weigh in or measure until the end of the whole 30 but i couldn't reisist. i lost 2 pounds and 2.5 inches so far which is cool considering the days i skipped and the fact that my eating hasn't been going great. i'm…
-
Just finished day 5 level 1 wednesday night...wasn't planning on taking last night off, but it just worked out that way. i really like it and hope to see it through the next 25 days! plan to measure after i finish level 1, but, no matter what, i don't think i'll be discouraged by the results...i'm enjoying it more than i…

hi! I just joined up last month and am trying to find some motivational buddies as well :) besides the whole weight loss thing, i think we may have some stuff in common...i have a young child too, not to mention i'm a complete book nerd also!
-
finished level 1 day 2 today. definitely found it tougher today than yesterday, but it wasn't torture. yet! :)
-
i'm also planning on starting tonight!! will post my measurements as soon as i can :)
-
sounds good, babym0m! about how long have you been sticking with it and how much weight have you lost? if you don't mind me asking :)
-
kinda in the same boat though i had my daughter 13 months ago and am down only 5 pounds since : / it's definitely been an eye opener! i was always heavy and was really in my groove of weight loss at that time, so i think the pregnancy just gave me the excuse to let everything go to pot. REALLLLY don't want that to happen…

I just joined * like literally a few minutes ago * and am a vegan who has sort of fallen from grace :) I was pretty hardcore (working on doing raw as well) when I got pregnant and everything kinda went to hell in a handbasket. After a year of back and forth, I am now trying to regain that old determination...so, as soon as…
