Hi everyone! I am 5' exact and have about 30 more lbs to lose (I've lost 11lbs so far). Anyone is free to add me. (: Good luck everyone!!

Hello! I just ordered the program last night. Should be arriving next week. Hopefully it arrives in time to start on Monday with all of you. I am definitely interested in a support/accountability group. Please add me! (:

Hello~ I'm 5' exact and looking to lose a bit more than 20 lbs (around 30 lbs or so). Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'd be more than happy to support and motivate you on your journey. (: I wouldn't mind making some new friends as well considering many of my old ones went inactive on me. =/

Eileen: #15 ! <-- Oops, forgot to post this!

Count me in! This would be my first MFP challenge! (: Sounds perfect because my birthday is also in the month of December, which I was planning to use as a goal marker anyway. ~ Eileen ~

Awesome progress, sir! Keep it going! People like you keep me motivated. Thank you. (:

@sleivian: Thank you! (: @Mokey41: I know it's a miniscule difference but it keeps me motivated seeing my progress!

^ This! I was a 5lb baby at birth. Although I do store fat in my belly area, I also have big thighs and butt. What does that make me? An appear? Haha. Plus, I've never in my life seen anyone give advice to NOT eat breakfast... How credible is this person?

I agree with this whole heartedly! Remember that it is okay to treat yourself from time to time but make sure it is in proportion. Try to make it so that you can stay within your calorie limit. If you go over, no need to feel embarrassed. It happens to all of us! Tomorrow is a new day. Just don't let it happen OFTEN. (;…

Hello there! Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou: I am 5'0" and currently 150 lbs. I am hoping to get down to 110 (UGW) I completely understand the whole "my boyfriend is more active than I" situation, as I am going through the same thing. Haha. He's a total health nut and it's about time I join him. :glasses: I've been with…

Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions! Seems like the switch between running on the elliptical to running a 5k on the ground will be a bit difficult. I guess I will try to run outside as much as I can. I just like the gym because there's people there & I don't feel so alone. Haha. :embarassed: I like the…

Anyone know if it's possible to do the C25k program on the elliptical/treadmill? Should I be doing this outdoors on real ground? Is there a major difference in results between the two? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (:

Wow! You teach Zumba? That is awesome! I LOVE zumba. My friends and I go every week (sometimes more often if we can). :love: I should give this coconut oil a try. Does this help with dry skin? My skin is very dry. On top of it being a symptom of thyroidism, I think it runs in my dad's side of the family. :grumble:

Hi everyone! I am new to the group. Very glad such a group exists! I have been struggling with my weight for a while now and I was always wondering if my weight gain was due to my eating habits or my hypothyroid problem or both. :frown: I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and my doc has put me on the Synthroid tablet ever…

I suffer from hypothyroidism as well, though I believe in my case it is still minor. I am currently only taking a 100mcg synthroid tablet a day. I am so sad to hear about the no soy policy! I love soy milk and edamame. It is healthy too. :cry:

I think we are on the same boat here! I am 5'0" as well and fairly new to this. I am also trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'm afraid of over eating yet I'm also afraid of under eating. I don't want my weight loss to be temporary & plateau. ><

Hi! Cruises are very dangerous! Haha. I have never gone on one myself but I have heard horror stories from friends. :P I'm glad you decided to get back on track! I just started eating clean & working out about a week ago so I am fairly new here as well. I will be more than happy to accompany you in your weight loss journy.…

This is my first time hearing about it too! I just googled it & found this website: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml ^ Hope that helped!

I HATE running and always have, yet I have this sudden urge to do a 5k. I want to eventually run a marathon. It's one of my life's goals to accomplish at least once! I have been running (on the elliptical) everyday for at least 30 mins and I am hoping to eventually like the idea of running. I never knew there was an actual…

I'm in! I'm aiming to lose around 40 lbs~ :P

Feel free to add me as a friend! I am looking for some motivation as well!

I'll jump on the wagon as well! Started roughly about a week ago and looking forward to losing around 40lbs~ I'm open to making new friends to help motivate each other. (:

I track both my work outs (calories burned) and my food (calories consumed). It gives me a better idea of how much I have eaten/should eat. I'm currently trying to lose weight so it is beneficial to me to keep track of everything. (:

Age: 23 Height: 5'0" HW: 170 lbs SW: 154 lbs CW: 151 lbs GW: 110 lbs Glad to know I'm not the only shorty embarking on this journey! It's a lifestyle change for the better. (: Thanks to everyone who is keeping me motivated! Success stories definitely give me the inspiration to keep going! It's only been a little over a…

I must agree! I am so inspired to have finally found someone that is around my height (I am 5'0") who has the same goal! You've gone through such a beautiful transformation and I hope to do the same! Keep up the good work! I'll be working my butt off along side you. :D
