Testing...

Hi Cindi, First **virtual hugs** Second, breathe in....breathe out.... this too will pass. Third. We allllllllll get down sometimes. In fact, I came here to the motivation board because, like you, I've lost my motivation. I get frustrated because when I was trying to do the C25K program, my back would spasm or my knee…

Just did Week 4 Day 1 last night. The jump from 3 min to 5 min is TOUGH for me. I stopped about 40 seconds short for a 3 second walk before realizing I wasn't done. Trying not to get discouraged and just keep on keeping on :)

I start Week 4 tomorrow. Trying to go into it with an open mind but I'm dreading that first 5 min run! Baby steps, right? I'm already slower than a snail so maybe it'll work in my favor.

Complete Week 2 Day 2! It was hard but I'm doing it. The c25k app I'm using doesn't track distance, unless I'm missing it somewhere, so I also use mapmyrun app, it says I'm doing an 17.31 min mile.....but hey, it's exercise and I'm lapping everyone who's still on the couch, right? :) Congrats to all!!

Just did Week 2, Day 1 yesterday. It seemed so much harder for me to jog for 90 seconds than it did for 60 seconds but I'll keep on keeping on! :)

I just finished Week 1 Day 3. I'm really slow but I completed it!!! ;)

Tomorrow is Week 1 Day 3 for me. I would love to have more C25K friends. I've never run for exercise in my life before this. But I'm trying! To the OP, I get pretty winded running for the 60 seconds too, hang in there!!

Thank you for sharing, these success stories really inspire me!

Thank you SO much for sharing this. This is the kick in the butt I needed this morning. I love the end!!! "I'm running a race. It's not a sprint, but a marathon." You look around, and you realize, there's no one running it but you. All the other "competitors" are gone. There's no one to catch up to. It's all about you, and…

Well, welcome! I think you'll like it here, too!

Welcome welcome! I think you'll like it here. I'm pretty new here, started in January so I'm still learning the ropes, but feel free to add me. We can encourage each other. Like you, I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin! Have a great day.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome progress!

I'm in the same boat! I'm on here everyday and I'm looking for new friends for motivation and encouragement. (maybe a little tough love too...lol. ) I'm 30, mommy of 2 and from PA, feel free to add me! :)

Thank you for sharing your success so far! You started at about the weight I did and it's nice to see progress pictures from those who are doing it. It helps me to keep going. At this point I've only lost 8 lbs, but like you, I'm celebrating every 5 lbs lost! Keep it up, I look forward to seeing your updated pictures…
