woohoo!!

I honestly still have issues with running/jogging in public thanks to a "friend" who made fun of me when I tried running a Couch to 5K program, I had my dog with me who is a pug and snorts a lot, and she said, in front of a lot of people, "I saw you running the other day, I don't know who looked worse, you or the dog" and…

Thanks!! I will keep that in mind, I know a lot of runners that actually race (only do 5Ks/10Ks to compete, not just for fun) so I feel like such a turtle compared to them but I have to remember that at least I'm starting! Running always looks like a mind relaxing exercise in a way, so I've always wanted to try it, but…

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the results enough to do it a second time! That's what I was thinking alternating! I did 30DS for only 3 days so far before I started C25K, but I found I got a decent soreness from muscles being worked in my legs too from the lunges with the weights (I've done lunges before but without the…

Thanks Meanderingmamma for all your input!! :smile:

You also give me inspiration that I can get there!!! You look fabulous! I'm going to be 41 in a few months, and I'm 5' 1.5", started at 226.4 so not far off from where you started, and it gives me such hope that I can do this too!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

AWESOME!!!! Gives me hope as a 40-something that I can do it too!!!!

Congrats!! You have done amazing and best wishes for your maintenance!! I enjoyed reading your story as I could relate to most of it myself! Keep up the awesome work!

Awesome! My fiance and I will be doing day 2 of week 1 in the morning, so I've been scouring the boards for tips! Glad to hear they are helping you!! My fiance had knee issues and some of the tips I have found on the boards have helped him with that, the last run his knees didn't even bother him! And yes, we repeated week…

Love reading these! I had 3 in the last week! My dad told me the other day that he could tell I've lost weight because my arms are more toned! :) Also a friend of my fiance's who isn't one to throw out compliments told me "you're looking good, toning up!" and even my EX-HUSBAND said as he came today to get our son for the…

What a terrible situation!! lol... I actually had to set a budget because when I reach goal I plan to have a small shopping spree, and after I keep it off for six months I plan to have another mini-shopping spree...and again when I keep it off for a year, so I have to remember this!! :) Its hard though when I can FINALLY…

I'm starting this, bought the DVD at a yard sale last month and decided to get on it. The lady I bought it from didn't have any meal plans or schedules, so I'm looking online (thanks for the pin link nikkim19781!!) I wasn't sure if I could/should start it in the middle of the week as I was planning on starting it in the…

Im starting it, was going to start tomorrow morning but unsure if I am supposed to start at the beginning of the week or what as it didn't come with a schedule. I was actually looking for something new as I fell off the wagon in the last 9 months and gained back 18 of the 33.5 lbs I lost (boooo). I realized I do better…

Congrats!!! I have been lurking looking for some motivation because I went backward and gained 18 of the 33.5 I lost, and pics like these help me, and make me realize I need to do some of myself!! :) Congrats on your success so far!! You are doing amazing!

Congrats on how far you've come in just a year! You are doing amazing! I'm the same way with pics, I still saw how fat I was, and honestly, I let it and excuses derail the bit of progress I did make. I had gotten down to 192.8 from 226.4 and was so excited, then I got "bored" of the same DVDs, then got comfortable and then…

hahahaha

Mine was Christmas eve family party 2012. I am pretty good at hiding behind people in pics and holding my head at the "right angle" to reduce the double chin, and at home I don't have any mirrors that go to my belly area (no full length mirrors at the time, just my bathroom one and I'm a shorty at 5' 1.5") but my cousin…

OMGosh Love this! My fiance had to help me visualize how far I had come so I totally get this! I dont have a pic of it though and I'm at work, but will definitely have to keep this in mind!! At the time he did this, I lost 15 lbs and it took me 4 months to get it off and my whole weight loss has been SLOOOOWWWWWW, so I was…

AMAZING! Congrats on your success so far! Thanks for sharing!!

WOOHOO what an awesome NSV!

Great job!!

Looking great!!!

Congrats, and a fun read/gif to boot! Don't forget to roll them sleeves up when ya scratch your head! Woohoo!

Awesome results!

Congrats!!! :drinker: I was there myself but unfortunately I let excuses derail me and I'm working on getting back there! I got down as far as 193.6, but got back up to 206 in about 8 months, got back down to 204.2 so I'm working my way back down!!! Keep up with it so you won't be like me and back track! Knowing I made it…

:drinker: Love this, and you definitely do look happier, definitely getting healthier! Great job you!!

:drinker: :drinker: awesome and congrats!!

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. :) Again, great job!!

Great job! T25 is one of the programs I've been really considering and haven't talked myself into yet, so I love seen progress pics from this program! I've done Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire, but since completing TF, I've been just hopping around trying this and that, and honestly fell off and gained some weight back, so…

That is an awesome NSV!! I'm the same way with covering my arms, but mostly for me its my belly, and lately my shirts have been a little more form fitting instead of only baggy... what a weird and awesome feeling right?!?! Congrats!
