Hey momma , Thanks for the congrats. I was super shocked by the 4lbs lost too. I am FINALLY looking forward to stepping on the scales again :) I also talked to one of the girls who I work with and we are running a 5km on October 18th . its a great race through Toronto and they also run a half and full marathon that day. I…

I did it...i finally ran the 25 minutes of W7 without stopping :) I am so freaking happy right now...and i lost 4.4 lbs this week, so I genuinely thrilled today :) Good luck Amy and Momma on your 30 minute run this week. I know you will do so amazing yet again. I hope all goes well for you guys and everyone else running…

Awww I really hope you get Brewster :) I adopted my kitty from a shelter 4 years ago and he is ia wonderful addition to my family. He was so shy and wouldnt come near anyone and now he wont leave anyone alone. He even stands up to the dog when he comes to cuddle and the dog tries to push him away from us. I hope your…

Oh god...I totally do that. I tend to put them on standing up, then do what I like to call the "stripper squat" where I squat down, but when coming back up, and stick my butt out like Im doing a booty thrust like the strippers do lol :) I also like to do lunges and I swear it looks like Im doing a full on fitness routine…

momma that is so AMAZING!!!! You should be so proud of yourself. that is a huge accomplishment :) I am so happy and inspired by your progress!! I did the 25 minute run yesterday for W7D1 and it was good. I only took 2 walk breaks becuase my shins here really hurting and my tailbone is still causing me some pain (I think it…

I did a run today, I wanted to do the 25 minute run again today adn it wasnt that great. I hurt my tailbone somehow yesterday and so every time i steped it started to hurt so I only did about 10 minutes of running and then about 20 minutes of walking. I am goint to have to do it again tomorrow if i can and get through it…

hey lauren :) I was wondering if it died too :( My progress took a back burner for a couple days because I got stuck working for 16hrs thursday and woke up friday morning with a nasty charlie horse wehre the muscle sticks out in a knot from my calf...NOT pleasant and its hard to walk all that day i took it easy today and…

We really are running fools arent we :) I am over 240lbs and Im doing it and doing it successfully I must say so lol. Dont worry about the starting weight, or even the final weight. The best part of this program is the running and the feelings of accomplishment and success you get when you complete each run! welcome to the…

hey ladies, just wanted to check in and tell you all how inspiring you are to me :) I totally needed a pick me up today and you guys provide it every time I need one. Thanks to everyone for doing your best every week on here!!! Momma...you are a rockstar every time i see your posts :) A special thank you to you. You have…

Ok....so I did W6D3 today. I ran the 25 minute run and only took one walking break for 60 seconds at the 10 minute mark becuase my calves were starting to cramp up so I streched them out but then I picked up the pace again! I feel so good now (except my legs are all sore now and I have to stand for 6 hrs at work lol)…

I am getting up at 5am tomorrow morning to go run W6D3 the 25 minute run. i am very unsure but I can only run for 10 minute before walking for 1 minute then running again. I know lots of people who do 10's and 1's in races so do you guys think its a bad idea if i keep pushing on? i want to get to the 5km but i just think…

I am going to reward myself with a trip down south in february if i get where I want to be by then. I will need a big reward to keep me motivated the next few months. you go hun! pick a reward that will mean something to you mentally, emotionally, and physically! Thats what makes the most sense!

oooh thanks so much for the tip. thats so exciting!!! I hate the prices at Starbucks!!!!! Thanks again. I love the chai tea lattes mmmm so yummy :)

W6D2 was good. i ended up walking for 30 seconds a couple times but i just find it is a little too hard to run the whole time 10 minutes. I also didnt get to run today as I was in a wedding on saturday and did something to my knee. right now whenever i walk or go up the stairs, my knee cracks and seems to be telling me to…

Good luck with week 5 momma :) Im off to do the 2 10minute runs on W6D2 tomorrow at 6am so i'll check back and let you know how it goes (eek) I know i did the 20 minute run but took a couple breaks but now Im doing it all over again lol :) keep plugging through guys....I know we can all do it :)

Girl you are so strong mentally and physically. I live in ontario and apparently Im a wuss. I grew up on a farm and I still am TERRIFIED of running into a bear. I live in a city now and run in the sub divisions but there are random spottings of bears coming into town and it freaks the heck out of me. I hate running in the…

HOLY CRAP!!! you guys are all so amazing. You h ave totally inspired me to keep going and reach my goals :) Thank you so much to everyone who posted their before and after pics :)

You will do great. Week 2 is a lot of fun :) it makes you feel so good to do that extra 30 seconds :)Good luck!!!

awww that is such a neat idea. I cant say that I would be able to afford it this year with planning my wedding next september (gotta save for that) but I think its a great idea and i love that you thought of all of us!!! i ran week 6 day 1 today on the treadmill because i had to work early today and didnt want to run…

sara its an awesome program and really helps you ease into running gradually so it doesnt feel like a huge struggle all the time and there isnt much room for discouragement. Please join our group. Its full of very inspiring, encouraging people and I am sure you would love it too :)

Wow good job ladies :) JN congrats on finishing run 1 of week 2!! thats awesome! Im so glad yout hat you love it here. So do I. The encouragment is phenomonal compared to other sites! great job Laura!!! 11 lbs down already. If you have a second, can you message me and let me know what else you're doing to get down that…

Week 2 is great. are you listening to any of the pod casts? I spent 3 weeks at week 4 so I know it takes time but you will TOTALLY GET THERE :)

i found exactally the same thing!!!! I say give it your best shot and looking ahead to week 6 its 10 minute runs wiht a 3 minute break so i am going to keep going with the program and work up to 25 minutes straight at the end of next week! Bring on Saturday lol (cause thats when the 25 minute run will be happening I hope)…

I finished week 5 run 3 (the dreaded 20 minute run) and I did itwith only a few 30 to 60 second walks thrown in. I felt like a rockstar by the time i finished but I threw in an extra 3 minutes of running to make up for the few pauses in speed that I had :) I am excited to do week 6 because I know that I am past the 1/2 way…

alllllriiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhtttt!!! I just finished the 20 minute run at the end of week 5. I really struggled and I ended up walking for 30 seconds to one minute a couple times, but I also ran an extra 3 minutes after the "20 minute" part ended to make up for it. I just dont have the lung capacity yet to do the full 20…

Thanks Smiles :) Well I managed the first run of week five well, but my music player died on the second day so i just kept running when I could and took a bit of a walking break if i needed too (see my post above for full details lol) but I am all prepared to do my 20 minute run tomorrow morning. I am just going to walk…

hey momma how did your run go today? Did you end up getting out and going!!! I am so pumped for the third run of week 5 I am so excited to see how people are making out on this program. I really like feeling like I am accomplishing something and when I hear that others are doing well and achieving goals it makes me want to…

Awww thanks Kurneckc!!!! I just went to do W5 D2 and got through one 8minute run but when I strated to run the second one....my MP3 player's battery died and i had NO IDEA wehre I was as far as knowing how long to run for, so I just kept running, then I'd walk for a few minutes and then I'd walk if I got tired. im sure…

Im so happy to hear people having weight loss success on this program. i need to lose a bunch of weight before my wedding next september and I have entered a 5km race for the end of next month so I am hoping against hope I can get through this :)

I just finished W5D1 and if I can do it you sure can....you are a rock star!!! You are always so positve and awesome and you will most definately succeed in week 5 momma red!!!! I found the last 5 minutes really hard but i walked for 20 seconds and after that i went back to running again! it was awesome to feel like I was…
