Awesome! Keep up the hard work!!! You look great!

Are you doing the proper stretches to stretch those muscles? I'm 6ft and ran my first 5k at 300lbs with no issues. Before that I had some knee discomfort but the proper stretches fixed that.

Way to go! It gets easier and more exciting! You should go ahead and signup for a 5k to have something to work towards!

I thought that was the mantra of Planet Fitness, to appeal to the "regular" people and not the muscle heads. I don't have a problem with an "obese" gym. People shouldn't feel uncomfortable or discouraged because they're out of shape. Just don't have a buffet as part of the membership!

I've lost over 65 of those this year and love when I lose any of it! Forward motion!!!

Something else to consider is when do you eat and run. I found that running before breakfast gives me my best performance or eating light 2 - 3 hours before I run gives me a great workout. There is also breathing, are you breathing from your belly or your chest? You have to determine what is hindering your growth and work…

If you have a problem with grip, it may be lack of strength or too much weight. I would suggest that you wear gloves because the kettle movements can really make your hands calloused. I would also suggest looking at videos on youtube for kettlebell exercises.

I'm going to cross one more thing off my bucket list and, go shopping, eat a meal without reservation and live a long healthy life!

I found that not running everyday improves my running. I have my best runs when I take breaks in between. It is hard for not to run everyday because I get anxious!

Making minor adjustments and becoming a little active in the beginning will yield very encouraging results. The biggest obstacle is mental, you have to make up your mind and commit to a lifestyle change. Replace those empty calories with nutritious ones. Walk a little further everyday and just know that you are doing more…

Bananas are a good source of potassium, carbohydrates and vitamin C, as well a iron. Low fat 1% chocolate milk is good for muscle recovery. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/439296-the-benefits-of-bananas-for-running/#ixzz2By8iTyul

I like to eat bananas before a run and run with little on my stomach. Chocolate milk is an excellent recovery drink, its what I prefer!

I did my first 5k at 300lbs. I walked and ran and finished in 40 minutes. It was a tough one because it had a lot of steep hills. You should be fine but survey the landscape before you sign up!

Great job! Keep up the hard work!!

I use feta cheese crumbles, all the colors of peppers, cucumbers, jalapenos, cherry tomatoes and whatever else I can find to add flavor, I use a low fat raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

I drink about 8 cups a day, sometimes more, sometimes less but water is all I drink. Your body will tell you when its thirsty. I believe they have debunked the myth that you NEED to drink a minimum of 8 cups a day.

I don't worry about it and can't wait till my next opportunity to hit it! Sometimes I think I may be pushing to hard, so I look at missed workouts as recuperating days.

My first 5k I weighed 297lbs and finished it in 41.27!

My feet!

I like that! lol I'm gonna make my fat really cry all weekend!

Hello! Someone mention barbecue?!?!?

That was terrible. The NFL is losing all credibility with bullsh*t like that...

CTFU!

I understand. I've 60lbs since March and people think that great but when I tell them I've got 70lbs to go, thats when they make the crude comments. They've only known me since I've been overweight, not my normal adult weight. Its all coming off, whether they like it or not!

I would say read the side effects, ALL of them and believe that you may experience them. I tried them because my coworker was using them with success but she didn't workout, so I thought since I did workout and was already losing weigh, it would be great! Well, my experience was great but I experienced the jitters, dry…

I'm in KC, close to the stadiums! In fact, that's where I do my running!

Present!

The convenient and fries. I never was in to sweets or soda but potato chips was my snack enemy!

I'm 42 and seem to attract younger women. Women in their 20's and early 30's and I don't get it. I've dated 17 years older than me but not really anyone my age. I also seem to be a magnet for crazy because either they think I'm passive or my patience doesn't run out.

Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory. It seems that they don't think plus size people wanna workout...
