No one outside of my family started commenting until I hit 30# loss. Now I hear it from everyone who hasn't seen me in a while. You're doing this for yourself. Don't worry if others can see or notice right now. It will come.

Do what I do. Go ahead and eat some chocolate, but... in very small quantities. I ate ONE Hershey's Dark Chocolate Nugget ( http://www.hersheys.com/pure-products/hersheys-nuggets/milk-chocolate-with-almonds.aspx ) yesterday, and added the 50 calories to my MFP log. Think about this. Any pleasure you get from eating…

I second the comments about Target. I bought some shorts & long sleeve shirt a month ago, and use them regularly. Search for "mens running" at target.com. That should get you started on what they have.

ALL OF YOU who posted before/after photos. 1) Congratulations. You are the winner. 2) Thanks for sharing. Helps motivate me to keep it up.

We started eating these a few months ago. http://www.whonucookies.com/Chocolate.aspx mostly the same as Oreos, except added vitamins & fiber

I lost 30 pounds this year with NO exercise. Just less calories, just like MFP says. I have since started exercising, as it is better for my overall health.

Congratulations. Thanks for inspiring me.

Finished c25k a few weeks ago. I was already running 3 mi, each time, so I entered a 5k run. No problem at all. Now I run only for distance. The goal is to work up to 10k. Did 3.5 miles this week.
-
Thank you for the wonderful follow-up post and more details. SO inspiring. Did you have any major setbacks along the way you'd like to share? Plateaus?
-
Coming into this thread a little late. I just finished C25K last weekend, and have seen my first plateau during the past 3 weeks. Frustrating to say the least. Thanks everyone for your responses. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and be patient.

my daughter and I completed C25k Sept 29, 2012. We did the program by the book We're running 3 miles each time now. I did 4 miles once last week. We're going to work towards 10k now using this plan. http://running.about.com/od/racetraining/a/10Kadvbeginner.htm Sound reasonable?

I'm with you, keenesmom. I had 2 large apples yesterday. Those alone put me way over the recommended sugar intake.
-
Just do it, no if's ands or buts. I used this printout, and checked off the boxes as I completed each run. http://tombenninger.com/wordpress/c25k/ I expect to finish C25K in 3 days! During the past 9 weeks, I have had 2 family trips and 1 work trip. I just bring a stopwatch and do my runs wherever I am.
-
I would say it's an excellent program. Finished week 6 this evening. So far, so good.

Way to go kayla99. Way to go!!!

I've only been around MFP a few months, but your 'story' is my favorite post. Thanks!
-
Keep at it, whatever you decide. You're doing great. I'm doing c25k also, and the 20 minute run is tomorrow for me. I'm pumped that I could do the two 8-minute runs without stopping. My only advice is slow down and work on the endurance, not the speed... if that's an issue for you.
-
I'm proud of you. Thanks for sharing!

Based on 'expected value', we should all choose the 50% of 100million. I think I'd settle for the sure thing. I'm a big saver, and that $1m would change my savings plan for the rest of my life.

Google and see if the company has a website. One of my local places has 5 stores only. But I found nutritional info on their website.

Way to go !!!

You look FABULOUS!

I just eat really small quantities. We had a party last week and made homemade ice-cream. mmmmm!!! I ate about 1/3 cup, and no more. Whatever enjoyment I get from eating a snack is gone within 30 seconds after I'm done with it. So why go with a large quantity?
-
That's what I do. My wife graciously prepares most of my meals, so I don't always know exactly what I'm getting in advance.

Here's MFP's guess at calories burned during 30 minutes: 150 Walking, 3.0 mph, mod. pace, walking dog 180 Bicycling, <10 mph, leisure (cycling, biking, bike riding) 360 Bicycling, 12-14 mph, moderate (cycling, biking, bike riding) 450 Bicycling, 14-16 mph, vigorous (cycling, biking, bike riding)

Anything from P.F. Changs. Many of their plates are 3 servings! http://www.pfchangs.com/menu/NutritionalInfo.aspx
