Thanks for sharing!!! I am very impressed by your optimism and positivity! You are inspiring. i am currently in week 7 of C25K. It is hard but i know i can do it!!! Like you, I decreased my speed to and found I could complete all my runs by running a bit slower and plan on working on speed later. Congrats!!!

I love this post! Thanks! I am a slow runner and i am doing the C2 5K training right now. I don't have a race in mind to run but i want to be able to run.....race or not. Who cares what your place was! I am glad you are celebrating your success!!! You are running and you are improving your own time. That is awesome!!! Keep…

Good for you! i can see the difference but more importantly i am sure you can feel the difference!!! Way to go super woman!!!

They say (I dont know who exactly) that it is 80% the way you eat and 20% exercise. Well....I lost some weight just eating healthy but when i got up and moved i saw my body changing and lost weight more quickly. Now i actually like to go to the gym and workout. It took me a long time to get there but i am so glad i got…

I count water with fresh lemon, lime, cucumbers,or raspberries in it as water. I also count my water if i add a little crystal lite into it. But that's it. Some people will disagree with me but that's how i do it! It helps me drink more water if i add a lil something to it.

Yes I agree that you need to eat more. Eat more to lose more!!!

This is fun......so close to that elephant penis!!!!!

I am so excited for you!!! You are beautiful!!! Congrats! Keep up the great work. You can do it!!!!

Keep smiling!!!! That is a great NSV!!!!! Thanks for sharing. i am sure you will be having that happen to you more and more. You have made great strides at a healthier life and i applaud your motivation and great effort!!!!

Yes!!!! Thanks for reminding me to look at the little things too!!! Keeps me motivated to continue my healthy lifestyle. Watch out for foods with omegga 6 in them. They cause swelling and inflamation. Omega 3s decrease inflamation so they are always the better choice. Keep up the excellent work!!!

I aim for 130 grams of protein per day. My settings originally were around 60. In weight loss mode protein is a good thing!!! Personally i look at my protein and calories first. I eat a highter protein and lower carb diet. Lean protein helps you build muscle which in turn helps you burn fat.

I think if you increase your protein intake every day (lean protein) you will notice a difference. I aim for 130 grams of protein per day. Try for around 100 g of protein to start and go from there. That could mean a chicken breast or a protein shake after each workout. Works for me! Good luck! You can do it!

I looked into this because a friend wanted to try it. It can increase blood pressure and heart rate and can interact with some medications. My friend did try it and her blood pressure went way up. When she stopped, it went back to her normal bp. I have looked up other things the good Dr had people all excited abt and…

Happy dance for you!!! I am so impressed by all the inches gone and well as your photo. Keep up the great work!!!

Personally i have changed my eatiing to higher protein and lower carbs. I am not counting carbs at all. Just trying to eat foods that are higher in protein and contain a 10 to 1 ratio with calories. Than the carbs just fall in line and i don't have to worry abt them. I try to eat very little processed anything. Mostly lean…

Good for you!!!!! What an awesome story and what a great way to get and stay healthy!!! Thanks for sharing.

50 is a great accomplishment. I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit. Celebrate the little successes!!!! Do a happy dance. Just wait til your next 50........You can do it!!!! Keep up the excellent work and learn from your journey so you don't have to do this again. I am very happy for you!!!!!

Way to go! Even your feet look smaller. You are healthy! Happy dance!!!!!

I agree that the Herbalife shakes are very good and have all the added nutrition in the "meal" that you need. I have one every morning for breakfast and sometimes one for lunch too. Just don't forget to add healthy snacks...veggies and fruit and lean protein or an alternative to your diet to stay healthy......make sure you…

Take care.....not all protein shakes are meant to be used as a meal replacement. There are many good meal replacement shakes out there with protein in them. Read labels!!!!! In my opinion Protein shakes are a good snack or good before or after a workout.

I eat a lot of chicken and the chicken i buy is individually vac sealed. So, I just take one out of the freezer and open it up and put in oven and ready in 30 min. Easy........the hard part is finding the ind wrapped chicken. I hate touching chicken and cleaning it. The ones i get are skinless, boneless breasts.....pract…

We all have bad days, weeks, months. The key is to try to get back on track as soon as possible. I have a bad few years and managed to gain 80 pounds. Not healthy!!! I agree that there are many supportive people here. I think we have been blessed to find this site!!! Keep on trying and be the best that you can. Don't give…

Excellent results!!! I am most impressed with the large drop in body fat. Good going. Keep up the healthy living!!! I am currently (since Jan18 of this year) doing Herbalife. Love it and it works for me. How do you like shakeology??? Wondering if it is expensive.

You rock!!!! My hero!!! I heard this and i think you are proof that it is pretty much true: one pound of muscle looks about like one stick of butter. One pound of fat looks like 4 sticks of butter. They weigh the same but muscle takes up less space. You look much lighter than your actual weight and have most likely lost…

Ooohhh.....that sounds so good. Love to freeze left over fruit before it goes bad and make smoothies. You can use juice and ice, or milk or soymilk. Sometimes i do water with protein powder and frozen fruit and ice (my personal fav way to do it). Have fun with that. Or just put some fresh fruit in plain greek…

I am impressed by your strength and ability to take charge of your destiny! Good for you. Keep up the good work and celebrate every little accomplishment.

i use a lot of ice and frozen fruit and have not had an issue. Sometimes i have to stop the blend and shake it and blend again to get the ice to the bottem but it is not inconveinient for me to do so.

Protein is a must for me. If i dont get enough i don't drop weight and it is important for building muscle which burns fat.
