Hi! Feel free to add me, I'm 25 and getting back on track with my health/fitness. I am starting C25K next week along with some strength training.

Keep at it! that is great progress honestly. Make sure you're eating enough calories on days you work out. I think 1200 is a bit low. Also, do you measure yourself and take photos? That is where I see the greates changes.

Thank you all for the encouraging feedback! :)

Thank you for all the responses! I have been keeping up with my doctor so I will check in again if the pain gets worse after practicing some of your advice. I definitely probably need to stretch more often, as well as ice it afterwards. I continue weight training, calisthenics, and cardio on days I do not run. I also am…

Yay, I'm glad its not just me thinking I see something haha :) Thank you all so much for the encouragement. Though it can be frustrating, I am learning to appreciate the slow transformation into a healthier me because I realize I am learning things I probably wouldn't have if it were happening quickly. Patience,…

Thank you so much, that really means a lot :happy: You inspire me and challenge me to give my best! I did start measuring. I used to have my measurements since April on my computer, but I think they got deleted because I can't find them. So I just made myself a little fitness binder and have a log where I can write them in…

Yeah, I know what you mean about being okay with losing it slowly to help keep it off. You've had a great transformation since January. I began in January also. I started at 220 and now bounce between 200-205. It's quite frustrating. I am also taking measurements to keep track. I love food also, but I have been eating a…

Great job! What do your meals/workouts look like?

Thanks!

So good to know I'm not the only one! I'm 23 and have had constant ringing in my ears for the past 1.8 years. I don't know what caused it. I tend to get headaches more often too. The past few days it has been worse, I am wondering if it is something I am eating or drinking...or even when I wear fake jewelry. I actually…

My boyfriend has been so encouraging. He really helps me appreciate the small progress I make beyond just the pounds lost. He is always telling me how proud he is and holds me accountable. He likes to work out with me when he is able, I wish we could do it more often. I really appreciate that he listens to me share about…

Definitely need this list, I realized I haven't been getting enough either, I wonder if that's why I have felt so fatigued

Wow, amazing job! You look great. What are your workouts like? How do you determine/set your calorie goals? I am 5' 3" and weighed 220 (my highest in January) and was 200 last I checked. It is tough, I know I have so far to go, but I know it is possible.

Totally understandable, that's awesome you are sticking with it though! I'm doing my best to stick with it despite being sick, but some days I don't get in because I feel so bad :( I have noticed my push-ups are getting better though! That's exciting for me ha. I got in 17 regular push-ups the other day, and started with…

[/quote]Are you doing this all in one sitting, or just throughout the day. I am VERY interested in adding this to my daily routine. [/quote] Sorry, I haven't checked this! I do it all in one sitting :)

Yeah, I guess that's the best option for right now...

So Inspiring! Great job ladies :) Can't wait to have my own before and after pictures. I was 220 in January, I'm around 200 now, and my goal is around 125/130.

Awesome :) Let me know how you like it, and feel free to add me

Me too!

I modified the challenge a little and added other areas I want to get better. This is what I'm doing, in addition to my regular exercises.

Fixed it! Now the whole making it smaller part I dont know how to do ha. BUT you can save the image and you'll be able to view the whole thing :)

Awesome! Let me know how you like it :) I'll probably try to post each day's challenge on the news feed

My friends and I start the challenge on Monday :)

Awesome job! I'm so happy for you. You are an inspiration! :) How long have has it taken you? Any advice for us who are still in our beginning stages?

Thanks you all :) I need to be patient ha Saucytee your response was awesome lol You're right . I think one of the reasons I've been frustrated is because my friends that have been working with me have been distracted the past few weeks from working out and accountability....and I just saw a picture of me from easter that…

Wow, great work everyone! So inspiring and encouraging. Can't wait to one day have my own side-by-side.

haha, she is pretty funny to listen to, I've never heard anyone talk about the butt like her If I ever am in a program I get tired of listening to someone in though I just mute it and put my own music on :)

Cool I'll probably try it out...Oh I have plenty to work with haha

How much are you eating? I was eating too little and I wasn't eating back what I worked off, so I began to plateau and gain weight. I upped my calorie intake from 1200 to 1500/1600 and I make sure I eat back at least 85% of what I work off through exercise. As much as I love food, it's hard getting used to eating more, I…

Thank you both :)
