Long time no see! I actually forgot about MFP for a while. :-) Currently running 30 minutes at a time-- when I finished the 8 week program (which turned into 11 weeks for various reasons), I didn't feel like I'd accomplished a whole lot by way of weight loss, but at least I'd built up my endurance and torched a few…

Running before work has been wonderful--- I've actually stuck to the plan. I've lost nearly 4 lbs. so far (about a pound a week, which was my goal). I've enjoyed getting to watch the sky light up at dawn and see rabbits in the yards. I've currently running 5 minute intervals, which isn't bad considering that I started just…

I finished Week 1! Started waking up at 6 a.m. to do my run--- it's actually quite cool at that time of day, which makes running pretty bearable. I'm drinking more water now, especially after the run, and I'm remembering to stretch after the run so I don't get sore. Things are going good so far--- by Saturday I should be…

Halfway through with week 1--- it is HOT in Texas. I'm going to have to get up early to go running in the morning while it is still relatively cool. Having to be at my desk by 8 a.m. is such a bummer. :grumble:

You're definitely not the only one who wants to cry after receiving bad news from the scale, either. In fact, you could join the people who have actually shed tears over it. That would be me. Don't sweat it; you're doing everything right. Keep on keeping on!

Finished the first day. Not too bad, but about 20 minutes in I was feeling pretty worn out. I finished the full 30 minutes, and paid for it with a pounding headache that lasted until this morning. Maybe it was too hot outside to be running? Or I got dehydrated? Have you experienced headaches at all?

Daring works! :wink: I'm actually starting one of those interval plans today that's supposed to last for two months--building up to running for 30 minutes straight. This week I'm going to only be running for 1 minutes and walking for 2 minutes and repeating until I've gone for 30 minutes. I weighed myself and took "before"…

Hello! My name is Tina. I just joined MFP today because my sister has asked me to for months. I've been trying to lose weight for about a year now with NO LUCK. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything right. So, this is just to help me keep on track with my goals. I'm currently at 139, and my goal is 120. I'm only 5'2", and…
