I have those dreams too! :) C25k is great. You can get apps for it, too. Good luck!

You're doing great! Some days are just plain hard. If you're having a hard day, I would suggest slowing down a bit. It really will make a difference. I finished week 9 last week- even though I met my goal, there are still some days where I just have to take it slower. I call those my shuffle days :)

I've been doing to c25k for about 8 weeks and am running about 10.5 min. miles. I'd like to run a 5k...but I'm curious how to make better time? Maybe that's an alright time for someone who's never run before :)

Congrats! It's such a great feeling. I start week 7 on monday. I love the program and the app for the iPod. You can listen to music while someone coaches you on when to run or walk. I can't believe I ran two miles in 20 minutes!

I like lots of veggies. I sautee onions, red pepper, sliced zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes and fresh garlic. I use two eggs and about 1/3 cup of cheese. Mmmm. One of my favorite, and most easy dinners.

Open- it makes me feel like I am accountable to my MFP friends. When I'm thinking about eating something crappy, I think "I'm gonna have to put this in my diary and they're going to see it..." usually makes me think twice about my choices.

1/2 cup of frozen blueberries with 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk- yum. Or a light rye Wasa brand cracker with 1 Tb. of Neufchâtel (lower fat cream cheese) and 1 Tb. apricot Simply Fruit jelly- my favorite. String cheese and a few grapes, too.

I get snacky at night, too. I try to eat a little more during the day so I don't feel as hungry towards the evening. If I do "have to" have a snack, I try to keep it healthy, ie frozen blueberries with some unsweetened almond milk. Best of luck to you :)

Way to go!!

It's great with a little bit of butter, fresh garlic and salt and pepper. Yum! I think I have one in the pantry I might need to go bake now :)

Bump. Wondering if you could steam it instead??

You look great!! You have a beautiful smile. Keep up the awesome job!

Yeahhhh..... I did 30ds before I'd lost any weight and was on level one for a few months. As long as you are getting a good workout- getting your heart rate up, sweating, etc, I wouldn't worry about being on level one. The thing that counts is that you're working out! Keep it up- it will eventually get easier :)

You look great- younger and more confident! Way to go!!

Wow! Congratulations. What a journey you've had...seems like you might be stronger than you think or give yourself credit for...Keep it up!!

Wow! So fun to see all the success!! Way to go Mums!

Such a great reminder!! Thanks :)

Ha ha! That's great. What great feeling when our clothes literally start falling off from weight loss ;)

My goodness! Amazing job!! I love the idea that the journey isn't over...a good reminder! Congrats- you look great!

Way to go!!! Keep up the good work :)

Welcome to MFP! I love it. I am a stay home mum of 2. I've lost 55 lbs. over the last year. I cut out flour and sugar (I do have it in moderation now). I also walk 5-7 days per week for at least an hour per day. I think logging everything you eat and exercising are the keys to a healthy weight loss. Best of luck to you :)

You look like a different person! Way to go!!!

Woohoo!!!! You look amazing!!

89 pounds IS NOTHING to scoff at!! You're looking great!!

Nice job!! You look great!

That's awesome! Good for you!

You look amazing- way to go!!!

Bump :)

Oh my gosh! That is soooo awesome! Way to go you and ditto on the MFP. I love it, too :)

Way to go! I cut out sugary coffee a while ago (I still get plain lattes about once a week and add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten), but man, those sweet coffee drinks were the hardest habit to break. Good for you!
