Finished week 3 now & I'm on day 2 of week 4 tonight. YAY for being 1/2 way done! I'm excited. When I was doing week 3 I was worried about distance, but now that I am on week 4 I feel like distance won't really be an issure.

Is interval training where you sprint & jog & then sprint type of thing? Someone who used to run long distance told me that was a great idea to increase my endurance. Right now I'm trying to figure out why I have such bad shin splints & trying to figure out the best thing to think about while I run, I figure out that when…

I was also thinking that maybe you might try a work out partner if you can find one? I have always had a hard time sticking to my plan and workouts, but once I started doing it with someone else it was much easier. I have a friend that I'm very close to and have known a long time & both of us are strong willed so we keep…

All of you who are already 100+ should join in & try to get to 100 more!! Can u do it?

Great job! Congrats!

Wow-- This post is old, but I just had to search scale batteries because I knew something had to be up. I changed my scale batteries and I'll let everyone know when I wake up what my new weight is. I had my TOM so I knew I'd gain some weight, but I couldn't figure out why the scale wouldn't go down at all and I'm hoping…

You are doing great! Congrats on your loss. :)

Yes, that made sense! Lol. Thank you for the answer. I think I was just freaking out because the weight hasn't fallen off yet and I know its only been a day, but I'm impatient. I didn't eat more and I've been exercising everyday almost, so I was extremely discouraged.

Just wondering...on average how many days after your period does the water weight fall off? Sorry for being annoying...I know everyone hates these posts, but this is my 1st time in a long time trying to lose weight while I'm on my period. =) Not to mention, in all my almost 26 years of existence I don't remember it being…

Yeah, I would think very hot would make u sweat and lose.

That dress is cute on you! Congrats! :)

Awww :) Good for you! Congrats!

WOW you look great. What a great story to share. I really appreciate your story. Happy Birthday fellow scorpio! My birthday is October 30th, I have a birthday goal too, but I won't be at my ultimate goal by then! Again, congrats!

I'm not breast feeding, but I am a mother. Don't give up this time, you can do it! :) You would be surprised of how fast you see results (especially on the scale most times) if you stick with it (and track everything) for two weeks! Good luck to you.

Just finished week 3 tonight. OMG-- every day of week 3 I struggled on the 3 minute runs, but I didn't give up...I just kept plugging away at it & I finished. I'm so nervous for week 4 (5 min runs start)! Wish me luck.

Well now that TOM is nearly over I am excited to weigh in again on Sunday, which just so happens to be MY BIRTHDAY! :) My goal was to get to 222 or 220...I usually set more than one goal, lol. So I had a 10 lb goal (which would get me to 220) and a 40 lbs lost goal, which would get me to 222. I'm just hoping all the excess…

MAKE HIM A CHEESEBURGER!

hey there! My weight is the same as the last time I weighed in 223! :O)

I totally agree that Targets's clothes run small! I can't wear a 16 there either. You should go to Old Navy! They have better options.

Yeah, but I usually don't have any gain really when I have my TOM, its weird. So the random 3 lb gain when it hasn't even started yet and I wasn't over eating was crazy to me.

Believe me I have tried this. And I know it seems like I'm crazy right now, but usually I don't worry about the everyday up and downs, today I was kinda upset because it was 3 lbs. When I don't weigh myself I get completely off track and for some reason measuring never works as well for me, but I do measure as well, just…

Yeah, thanks for all the great advice. Right now I am already out of breath, so I guess I just need to build up endurance and then work on speed. Once I get to the end I think would be a great time to work on speed. Hopefully I can breathe while I'm running by then :) I run outside, so I'll talk to my friend that I run…

OMG I didn't know they have brown rice at Chipotle, I MUST TRY THIS! I'm a huge Chipotle fan, I haven't gone in quite awhile because I switched jobs, but I think its awesome they offer brown rice now. All I can say about what to eat/not eat is DO NOT EAT THE TORTILLA AND DON'T ADD CHEESE. =0)

HIIIII! I find it awesome that you are back on track already today after slipping up yesterday! CONGRATS to you. :) I always have a difficult time getting back on track as well, it usually takes me weeks so you are awesome. 2ndly I find it funny that the dietician at your job bought everyone pizza, lol...not trying to be…

I'm super glad I read this post bc I couldn't figure out why the scale was so off, but I realized my TOM is starting tomorrow, so most likely that's why. I will still post my weight for Sunday though. I'm so glad I joined this challenge-- it has kept me motivated. I am really looking forward to being 20 lbs down by…

Thank you so much. Its hard, I have SO MUCH further to go!! I know I will get there though, it just takes time.

I'm considered pear shaped or "Coke bottle" if you will. LOL And I love my body type. The concept of accepting yourself was a hard concept for me to understand, but once I finally got it I felt better. You should love yourself, pear shaped and all. I have one particular Asian friend who is also curvy and pear shaped and…

Thanks everyone! :)

Sorry those pictures are HUGE!! :) I didn't know LOL well...I'll have to fix it when I get home.

Wowwww You Look Terrific! Congrats! :)
