To get under 150. I managed to get down to 150.6, but switched from tons of running to mostly lifting and some HIIT and my weight loss stalled, crept up, stalled, and then I got lax for a month. 154 now and back on track.

I am 5 ft nothing too :smile: . I started at 165 in November and have slowly crawled my way down to 150. My goal is 125. I have been on and off the weight loss game for the past 4 years, my highest non-pregnant weight was 193.8, so I have come a long way, just really slowly. I just need to buckle down and commit to get the…

1) Preparation. By cooking and meal prepping AND by having something healthy available when you just can't bring yourself to cook and meal prep. 2) Food scale. Amazing how the gram serving for peanut butter does not fill two tablespoons... 3) Find an exercise you love and do it. Extra calories from exercise are clutch. 4)…

Strengthening your core is important even if you can see your abs ;). Stronger core means better balance and helps with other exercises.

I am about a month out from quitting diet sodas. For the first week or two, I made my own "soda" with sparkling water and a splash of juice. It was nice to still have a fizzy drink. Now I just do water and coffee. I had a sip of Diet Dr Pepper the other day and I couldn't stand the taste, and it seemed so thick and made me…

Check out fitnessblender.com They have tons of free videos, a lot using strictly bodyweight.

Doesn't matter. Either way I would still be reporting this person to gym management. Creepy and nothing I would be willing to tolerate while I work out.

Couch to 5k is fine. There will be a lot of walkers and the race is not timed. It is more about the experience.

1) Run faster (get mile under 8, 2 mile under 18, 3 mile more consistently under 30, half under 2 hrs 20) 2) Get stronger -focus on implementing a more consistent strength training program. Not sure yet how to evaluate this goal.

Body glide. I had issues with my hrm rubbing my torso raw on my long runs (sweat and movement worked it loose). Body glide works great and hasn't interfered with the sensor.

I adjusted mine up to 1250. I have my settings at sedentary. I workout 4-5x a week and eat back a lot of those calories. It was working well before I crashed and burned starting at Thanksgiving, hoping it continues to work well now that I am back at it :)

I like fitnessblender on youtube. They have several bodyweight videos, and others with weights.

30 something. I am a southerner, however, and I don't do cold. I did run in snow 1x, but it was mostly tiptoeing through slush and leaping puddles. ;)

Check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls, they often have good deals. Some of my favorite pants have actually come from Target. Moving comfort sells some of the best sports bras (super important, cheap sports bras are no good).

That seems high for your heart rate average and mileage. Are your stats entered correctly into your hr monitor?

I third fitnessblender.

Oatmeal (1/2 cup), 1/2 cup of milk (skim or 1%), 2 TBS peanut butter, and one small banana mixed in. Super filling and pretty much spot on 500 calories (depending on banana and milk type).

Plenty of time. In fact, if you start training in November, I would think a March 5k would be a better goal. By July you may feel ready for a 10k. :)
