You look great! Congratulations!

Phenomenal results! Congratulations! You look like one of Tony's "Kids"

You look wonderful! Congratulations! Your commitment and dedication has paid off!

OMG! That is amazing! You are an inspiration to the rest of us. Thank you for sharing your photo.

I'm down! 38 yo 156 5'8" Goal weight is 145 - nicely toned.

I am at the end of week 4, about the start recovery week next week. So far, so good.

Take it easy on your knees. I found that just scaling back a bit and taking a joint supplement has been helpful. I was going hard in the power jump moves and then decided that it wasn't worth it. I still do them, but much more softly! Happy knees.

I felt the *exact* same way when I did C25K. That was a shocker! I was able to do the run with ease! I was so surprised at how far I had come. Try it and see how you do, you might surprise yourself.

It depends on the one you have... I have two chest straps for this very reason. The fabric chest strap with the little monitor thing that pops on and off *does not work* in the pool (chlorine). It only works intermittently. The other strap (plastic across your chest) works well, but I find that I have to keep it a little…

This is awesome! It's great you got started! Woo Hoo!!

My suggestion is to take your time and enjoy the accomplishment. It's your first race, so your personal record is NO RACE! Finishing is the goal. It's ok to stop and rest. It's ok to just do a granny trot when your tired. Take some friends to cheer you on. Find someone your runs your pace and just kinda hang with them.…

Add me! I'm 5'8" and currently 158. My goal is 140-145.

I was 175. My one tip would be to slow down. It's not a race. I really ran a granny trot until I was in better shape to move a little faster. I ran outside, so I don't know how fast I was going, but I do know that brisk walkers easily passed me! I've run a few 5ks now using the same theme... run slowly until I can move…

I find that a teaspoon of chocolate chips does wonders for oatmeal!

When I started my weight loss and fitness journey a few years back, it was my goal to walk for 30 mins each day. Not run, not walk fast, just walk. Once I achieved that goal, I moved on to other goals. It was an incremental process. You do what works for you right now. I think there are a lot of P90X and Insanity folks…

Aviduser - that was such an inspiring post. Thanks!

Hey! I started last week. I just sent you a friend request.

Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment!

You look great. What's most fun about these photos is that we can see your son is really not that much older in one photo to the next. It didn't take you 5 years! What an inspiration!

I started today. C'mon. . . Join me!

I'm starting tomorrow! Sent a friend request.
