Alright, time for me to just stop shaving and become a yeti! Hope my hubby doesn't mind. :laugh: I can feel my sternum and collarbone too, and my fingers are getting thinner. Nothing about the fat globs that I REALLY want to disappear though. I want a smaller butt and stomach most.

Finished week 4 for a second time today. So I've been running for 5 weeks now, and I thought I'd just like to tell everyone the differences I've noticed (aside from being able to run longer periods than I have ever been able to do before). -When I first started I was panting. Sounded like a dog. Seriously, the 60 second…

Repeating week 4 for my running buddy, but she is now out with an injury for a few weeks. At least I am far enough in that I look forward to my runs, so that we don't have to keep motivating each other.

I fairly consistently get about 7 hours of sleep a night. Go to bed between 3 and 4 AM, wake up between 10 and 11AM. I dunno, maybe its jsut random mood swings.

Oh, I am actually still logging for what you call yesterday. I work swing shift so my dinner is usually at 1AM, I will be logging a few more before completing that entry. (Ah yes, lovely weird night shift schedules). Just added the potatoes and eating the rest of my dinner now, I just for some reason got really emotional…

I just opened it, I have my calories set to 1320, but I usually consider it fine that I can go up to 1600 in a day.

Phish Food is my favorite. My mother used to bribe me to do yardwork with promises of Phish Food when I was a child :) Now I eat the froyo version due to lactose intolerance. Still delicious.

I use Mio. Fill a large bottle with water, and use just barely enough to give the water a little bit of flavor. I can't drink plain water normally so the hint of flavor really helps, and now I am drinking probably too much. :laugh:

My hubby grabbed my butt last night and told me that it was smaller and he could grab it easier. Made my night!

So I did Week 4 Day 3 today. It was at a turtles pace, but I did it. I finished it. And, as a personal achievement for me, I did not once at any of the running intervals have to pick out landmarks to make it to. I did the entire thing without once having the thought of "I am not going to make it" cross my mind. My running…

Right now, I am struggling to reach 1200 calories. The only things I changed is that I no longer drink soda, and I don't snack as much. I've realized that ALL my calories came from sodas and snacking. I only ate ~800 calories a day of what I now consider "real" food. It is rather horrifying thinking back that I ate at…

Today was supposed to be W4D2, my phone was acting up and as I use the C25K app, as does my running buddy, we used her phone instead. Accidentally put it at W3D2. I knew it felt too easy. Ugh, throws off my whole week.

And another NSV. I still need to consume 200+ calories today, so my sister-in-law suggested ice cream. Just two weeks ago I would have been "Oooooh, ice cream!" and ran to the kitchen to get some. Today is all, "meh, ice cream." I do not want it at all.

5'3", am a 12 at 190lbs.

I took my measurements today, and while the scale says I gained 5lbs, the measurements say I lost 1/2 inch of my hips measurement. I'd noticed my underwear getting looser and my pants sliding. 1/2 inch is a huge difference in the fit of clothes.

At the moment it is just a head cold, and thats all I usually get. I get sick a few times a year, but usually not very severely. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and hope that it hasn't dropped below the neck.

Since I have a lot of weight to lose to hit goal weight (80lbs). My reward is a combo, I will get brand new clothes, wear a bikini for the first time in my life, and as the grand prize, snowboarding gear :)

At the moment I cannot afford a gym membership, or any hand weights. When my hours pick up at work I will be definitely getting some weights, but until I can afford things, I am doing even a little bit, and I believe that every little bit helps, even if it isn't the ideal, it is better than just not doing anything because…

I am doing the 30 day ab and squat in July :)

reduce gradually is my advice. I was drinking several sodas a day, but reduced it to just one a day, and now I get one soda a week. It isn't easy, but I've been soda free for over a week now. I've also noticed that with less soda drinking, I am having TROUBLE reaching my calories for the day.

Not dehydrated, and its not time for my next meal. My body is just used to always having food in my stomach, so my stomach is just sending all those "empty" signals.

5'3", current weight 205, want to get to 125. 80lbs to go! Would love some support.

5'2 3/4" Currently 205, looking to be at 125 right now. Feel free to add me. Need motivation to keep working out!

Okay, my goal is 50 miles for July :)

It may help to also change your time zone. I work swing shift, so I have my time zone set as though the end of my "day" is actually at 3am. This way everything I eat is on the same day.

This month I vow to complete a 30 day challenge. Not give up just because my muscles are sore.

Thanks for the input. :) As soon as I get a few more hours at work I'll head to my local runners store and take a look. At least for now my existing shoes should be alright since I am still on slow and short distances.

I am in the middle of a C25K, do I have to calculate the mileage actually running/jogging, or just use the entire mileage for the running/walking of my daily workout?

I just completed week 3 of a C25K program. As soon as that is complete, I will be doing a 5K, I hope to have my time at 45 minutes. I need to lengthen my course though, currently in my training I am only at 2.3 miles for my runs/walks. Next week going to up it to 3.
