Grand Rapids. Looking for some running buddies for when it warms up a bit. Going to start a c210k program.

I have a 3 month old boy that is EBF just starting to get back into working out. I gained about 30lbs during pregnancy and still have 20 to lose to get back to prepregnancy weight and then another 30 to get to a healthy weight. So any support is appreciated. Feel free to add me.

Hey, looking for some motivating friends' I like to run and lift weights although I haven't been able to do either for a while because of a bad bout with Pluerisy, but slowly healing and hoping to dive back into it once I'm deemed healthy enough. In the meantime I eat clean healthy foods somewhere close to my daily goal…

Wow! Great job! I didn't realize how close in stats we were! Or at least SW/GW stats. not current. My daughter even thought these were pictures of me. :) Anyway thanks for posting this, you know I have been struggling for a while and this is just what I needed to get back on track! Oh and don't be embarrassed, You look…

Great job! Sign up for a 5k! I signed up for my first 5k in May and can run about 1 1/2 on a good day. Hopefully I can get up to 3.1 by May! Keep up the good work!

I got up to week 10 of the LFT. I loved it but at that point I got really burned out and I didn't have time to be in the gym 1-2+ hours 6 days a week. I never really lost any weight but the changes in my body were quite noticeable. Lots of muscle gain. I also didn't follow the diet 100%. Currently I'm training for a 5k and…

Week 9 is really hard! Granted I got sick on second to last day of it (yesterday) so had to quit mid workout and didn't go at all today. I think I'm getting pretty burnt out being at the gym 6 days a week for 90+ minutes. I'm starting to think about taking a break for a week. What do you who have done it think? I know it's…

Thanks Ladyjh. I'll let you know how long I make it before I puke all over. Lol. MrsH. Is your profile pic results from LFT? Because, Wow! You look amazing! And thanks for the help ladies! :)

I just started phase 3 yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm going to survive the next few weeks but it was alot of in anyway! Phase 1 is great but you have alot to look forward to! Good luck!

Always happy to have more friends!

Haha! Me too! Congrats on kicking the coffee habit...obviously my willpower is not quite so strong!

:huh: Things just got weird! :laugh:

THIS! Haha! I think I love you! In a creepy weirdo stalker way of course. :wink:

This! :wink: I "love" in everyday too! Feel free to add me!

KEEP IT!!!

Its good to know that I'm not the only one feeling heavier. I still weigh in weekly and my weight has been steady since about week 2. I'm trying not to get frustrated because I know I LOOK better even though the scale is trying to discourage me. I'm hoping that I will lean out more in Phase 3 ( I start next week!)

I'm losing. Very, very slowly. And I have to really watch what I eat and workout daily. But I'm down 12 lbs. I've plateaued somewhat but I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully it will start coming off again. Sera T1 12 years

Welcome and feel free to add me!

I'm still working on C25K but next year it may become a goal to do the half!

I'm starting week 7 today. I'm looking forward to Phase 3 though. I know I have definitely gained a ton of muscle (I HAVE BICEPS!!!) But have not seen much movement on the scale. I hope phase three will change that, at least a bit! :) I'd love to see a success stories thread for those of you who are nearing the end of the…

I think I may do the Lee Labrada workout as well. I am just starting week 7 of the live fit today.

Thanks for the advice! I've adjusted my pump setting and am now running a bit high. But I also haven't been able to get to the gym for a few days. I usually take my pump off about 15 minutes before a workout and eat a banana. My BG's are pretty steady during my workouts (generally) its just that anywhere from 2- 12 hours…

I have the same issue. Something that helps me is to drink AT LEAST 16 oz of water in the morning right when I wake up, about 20 minutes BEFORE breakfast. Its not sure fire, but I'm a lot more regular when I do this on a daily basis.

Schedule your workout time in. Go before work, if possible. If you can't go before work change into designated workout clothes after work. Take a walk with your puppies, throw a ball with them. Take a walk with your husband. Little things add up. :) You can do it!

Wow! SO much info! Thank you to everybody! I do lift 6 days a week but I alternate muscle groups and only work abs and legs twice in the same week. I know I could lift less but I hate anything closer to full body workouts. And I am also Type 1 Diabetic and lifting everyday goes a long way to helping me keep my BG under…

Thanks for all the help. It still blows my mind that I can eat MORE and still lose. But I will give it a shot at least until the end of my current workout program (7 more weeks). If anybody would like to add me as a friend please do so! I am always looking for more support and you all seem so knowledgeable! Thanks Sera

Thanks! Its been a long time coming but I'm ready to get my health under control!

I just looked back over the last week of my food diary and it looks like in general I eat anywhere from 1300 to 1800 a day depending on how many cals i burn in the gym. If I up my cals to "somewhere between BMR and TDEE" (thank you rduhlir) I would NOT eat back my cals burned during workouts??

Thanks I read the "In place of a road map 2.0" I don't fully understand it though, That's what got me started on this. I have been working out eating well (for the most part) for going on 2 months and have not seen much of a difference scale wise. I only recently had my BF% checked so have nothing to compare it to. I find…

Okay so I have decided to try this out. A week or to can't hurt, right? (Nervously chews fingernails...) So I have set my daily calorie goal to 1569. I think that is correct?? Thanks for your input. Sera
