How'd it go? I had my "weight loss" makeover in Jan 2020. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm super happy to share my experience with it all.

Remember this is your goal, not anyone elses. You are doing this for you! Also, don't restrict yourself too much. It's too hard to continue long term. I honestly lost the weight SO SLOW this time because we'd go out and still enjoy our lives, but I did it and I've kept it off. My maintenace and my "diet" aren't very much…

Never enough friends and everyone has helped in there own way!

That's impressive! Awesome victory!

Great work!

I'm maintaining and toning now. BUt started at over 200lbs and had started a million times before and succeed and then gained it back. This time was my heavest! Set small goals,don't do anything you can't maintatin forever. If eating healthy all week and then having a cheat day is what works then do it! If you can eat Keto…

I'm not restarting, I'm maintaining at this point. I'm also 5'4" at started at a little over 200lbs. Feel free if you want a friend! I can always use more! You got this!

Yes you should workout! Do something you enjoy so you stick with it!

Don't do anything you can't maintain long term! I agree!!! The BIGGEST thing for me this time was not letting a bad weekend or even bad day or meal ruin everything. Just pick back up where I left off! Tracking keeps you accountable! Good for you! I'm doing more maintenance than losing (I lost 75lbs) but to get back on…

Good luck with your recovery. Remember to be patient and follow the Dr's orders. My husband is looking at having this done so hopefully you will share some pictures. I had a Tummy tuck and muscle repair done on 1/15/20. So I'm 6 weeks post op. Recovery really isn't too bad it just takes patience. It's hard to not workout,…

Great job! You look so happy & healthy!

Hi. I'm Kathy, I'm 39 and looking forward to this challenge as an extra motivator to help me get through March. I live in the Inland Northwest and looking forward to the warmer weather and longer days that come in March!

I'm starting over...again....I lost 40 then gained it back :( Love to have more friends motivating me!

I like the Nike Run app. It's simple easy to use and tracks my runs.

Good Morning! I did C25K in 2013 and ran my first 5k in Sept 2013. I loved it....weather got cold and dark and it has taken me this long to get back on the wagon!!!! I finished W3D1 today. This time I started on the treadmill so hopefully next winter I won't have such a hard time getting back on the treadmill. When I…

HI! I just returned Jan 5th! Always looking for friends to help motivate :)

AMEN!!! I always get the "what are you doing or using?" "Umm nothing special watch what I eat & exercise" and people are shocked it's not some fad diet or pill......Really?

A great reminder! I try to let people take them and most importantly I try not to delete them! I don't have to share them but Heaven forbid something happens, my kids can have them. I regret not taking more prego pics :( Those days were gone so fast!

Thank you for sharing! You made me tear up and got me motivated! Thank you:flowerforyou:

You'll do great! Just follow the program and remember to slow down if you need too!!!! Congrats on taking the first step!

Congrats! And 11:15 is a GREAT pace!:flowerforyou:

My favorite meme says "I run. I run slower than a herd of turtles through peanut butter but I'm a runner!" Don't let your speed get to you! My husband finished the 5k this weekend 10 minutes before me.....but I finished and I didn't walk..that's my victory. I like running because your only competition is yourself. If each…

SO TRUE!:flowerforyou:

Well I completed another 5k this weekend without walking:happy: Which was pretty huge for me considering how much pain I've been in and my lack of training. My hubby & I ran the Jingle Bell 5k this weekend for our Anniversary....It made me feel WAY less guilty about dinner at the Melting Pot:laugh: So I would love some…

Some people go from no one looking there way to an amazing amount of attention. It feels good, it's new, it's exciting. I'm not excusing it but I understand it. Making up for lost time:wink:

This made me giggle:laugh: As long as you boys keep those shirts off!

I only run with one ear bud in early morning, once people in my neighborhood are out I'll run with two. The map posting thing is a good point (better safe than sorry, right?). The water bottle thing I would have NEVER thought of:embarassed: Thanks for helping us remember all we need to to be safe :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: :drinker:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Those two ARE usually the answers to every issue in C25k:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
