I agree that I my abs feel SO much tighter after c25k on an incline. I walk away feeling much stronger but that feeling sort of fades. lol It must be working. i guess I just need to be more patient :)

I will have to try that!

Great job! 30 inches is probably the most shocking! OMG thats awesome! :) It's so wonderful to see people making progress in such a short amount of time! You are doing wonderful!

Thank you Holton for that post on increasing calories! I am also stuck after 13 pounds lost and I am so scared to up my calorie intake. But... I am going to give it a try... and no better time bc I am on vacation right now :)

You can lose weight simply by sticking to a lower calorie diet. Walking just speeds things up a bit and helps tone. I walk and I stay within my calorie goals and I am pretty sure that eating right is what is doing it for me! It's working :) You will start to see it too. Good luck!

That is super! I hope to get to that point! Be proud of yourself :)

You look great!

Yes I agree! I use the app on my ipod touch and I do not need an internet connection to look up foods, and the next time I am home it syncs up! I love it! I used to use sparkpeople but the app is just not as good.

Yay! That happened to me a few days ago. It will probably be awhile before I can wear them but I was super happy :) Congrats to you!

I just noticed that I am ALWAYS over on sugar too. But I love fruit. I eat a lot of it, and a lot of yogurt. It's not like I'm chowing down on cookies all day!

I would like to find something to help as well... I did hear that drinking lots of water helps :) Nothing really seems to work for me. BUT... almost every woman has it so we are not alone.

Thanks for the inspiration! Good job! :) I just started c25k 2 weeks ago and set up my first 5k for June 26th! So excited!

Wow! Great job! Inches lost feel so good because you can actually look in the mirror and SEE the diff!

I don't think one day going over on your calories will hurt you too much. You can't even gain a pound from 700 calories more. You may have gained water weight...

Usually a size 7 in juniors is what I'm aiming for... but now I feel like I'm starting to get to the age where I should be shopping in the womans section. I have a pair of womens size 4 jeans that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to zip up again! They were my favs :)

I agree. i bought one at target for almost $100 and I used it once. For a half hour walking workout it said I burned 500 calories. I really doubt that!! I took it back after one day. I felt like it was a waste of money. I would rather underestimate calories burned than overestimate. :(

I have the same problem! i usually only worry about calories and sodium but when I checked back on all the sugar I have been comsuming I couldnt believe it! I do eat a lot of fruit and yogurt though...

I agree with all of this. It is so hard to get out of certain ways of thinking. For me it was the all or nothing attitude. If I ate bad for one meal I thought it was all over. I was always waiting for another Monday to start my "diet" over again. But its all about the healthy choices we are learning to make and it all…

Calories? Sounds good!

Pictures and measurments are the best way :)

Womens Health! although SELF is my ultimate favorite :)

His advice was complete BS! 1 meal a day? How rude! And... losing 100 pounds in 3 years? Thats way too long. It looks like you are doing great so far. Report him. He's an *kitten* that's all there is to it.

I used to be the same way! I would lose 10 pounds and think "wow, I feel OK... maybe I will eat that bag of chips over there..." and I would slowly go back to my old ways and gain all that weight back! Not anymore! Every time I lose pounds or inches I am that much more determined to keep going! I love the way I feel now!…

Drink water and only eat half of the meal. I usually have them box half of it before it even comes to me. I get whatever I feel like having I just never eat the whole thing. Many meals have upwards of 1500 calories! Not worth it... and if you save some you have lunch for the next day!

I usually eat half of the southwest chicken wrap (take some home ) and all of my chips and salsa for about 600 calories... and water :(

I have some almost every day! Dark chocolate, and I always put it in my food log :) Totally worth it!

Thanks for posting! You look great! You give me hope :)

I hate excercise to... but I have found that I can walk on the treadmill for about a half an hour at a 4mph pace and still get the results I want. All while watching my favorite movies or tv shows. I try to never let myself sit in front of the tv. If I want to watch something I walk... I can not say that I love it but its…
