I had never ran more than a mile in my life. Even 7 years ago when I was in great shape, doing tons of aerobics, I felt I couldnt' run. Well I decided to do the couch to 5 K. Before I started I was out of breath just jogging the cul de sacs in my neighborhood. The couch to 5K gradually trains you. You can repeat weeks and…

I literally said "holy crap" out loud when I looked at your pics. Great job!!

Food- eggs (great low cal/low carb breakfast and quick to scramble in the microwave) Exercise-runing. I've never liked running until now, I think it's because all I need are shoes and 30 minutes....and my kids can't come with :)

Wow!! What an inspiration! Great job.

Hahahahah I hear ya!

I second the being able to cross my legs. And it just happened suddenly one day I looked down and said "holy crap I can cross my legs" haha

Running on the treadmill is WAY different that running outside. When you do your run outside focus on keeping slow and steady. I have ran the whole thing outside and each days different weather affects me too.

Holy crap!! Great job.

I just did week 5 day 1 today and was shocked how barely out of breath I felt after each 5 minute interval. This is a great program as at the beginning I was out of breath after 30 seconds. I feel awesome!

My weight starts with a 1 for the first time in 4 years!

It's so awesome when you see that progress! Keep up the good work.

I also hate almost all greek yogurt....except the Greek God's honey yogurt. It tastes like cheesecake. Alot more calories than other brands, but it is SO good.

I call it my "Fitness Facebook"

I started at 215 wearing an 18. Last weeks weigh in I was 205 wearing a 16. Ive never had a self esteem problem because i feel like i carry my weight well, but definitely needed to get healthy and in shape! Enjoying my journey with MFP so far. I feel like something has clicked! Good luck. Feel free to add me if you don't…

I am on day 1 of week 4 and was really worried about doing the 5 minute run. When I finished it I almost cried not because I was tired, or hurting...it was because I was PROUD!

I'm the same starting size as you and the same thing is happening! It feels so good to think about buying new jeans!

I'm just starting and have lost 5 pounds my first week (shows how much I gorged myself before since i lost some pounds so fast). Hope I have the staying power like you have. Great job!
