BTW, 165 lbs is a person. My bff is 130 lbs. You lost a person. It's going to get harder.

BS to have to wait 2 years for something everyone else gets in 6 months? Dude... you were trying to lose 165 lbs. I'm trying to lose 100 and if I do it in a year and a half, then I'm thrilled. You are down to your last 20%. Yes, it's going to slow down insanely.

Darn. I was hoping your heart rate was at least 110. I have a friend with tachycardia who normally rests at 120-130. She has trouble getting out of the ER sometimes (doctors won't release her).

Some really expensive dorms do. Most have community kitchens or none at all.

You're not trying to lose 85+ lbs. The goal is to lose 1 lb, 85+ times. I'm there with you. I've been on here since July. I started off with 102 lbs to lose. I'm down to 79 to lose. I'm going slow. I gained 2 since the new year, but I'm back and trying. One day at a time.

If this guy really is living in a dorm room, you cannot have a crock pot. It's against the regulations and the firemen do come through the dorms randomly and check them and confiscate (yes, confiscate) anything that doesn't conform to regulations. Most places you cannot have anything that cooks food aside from a microwave.…

"I must lose X lbs by X date." I know this is motivating for some people, but it doesn't work me. My first question when hear this is "why?". My second question is, "Are you going to quit if you don't make your goal?". Anxiety is a trigger that makes me want to eat more food. Those words would have anxious every single day.

Maybe I should have mentioned that it was an outpatient procedure to remove skin, not working on the joints, muscles, or tendons. Does that change any of the answers? I will definitely check out the Galloway program and Return to Running. Is icing really necessary? I've never had to do that before. I get massages every two…

the ability to run. Please oh please let the doctor say I can start working out again on Monday.

It's hard to tell without your starting weight and goal weight.

I was trying to guess at your BMR (amount of calories you burn bedridden), but without your height, that was impossible. I did put in 5'5'' and 6'5''. It looks like 3250 is about right. So you should eat at least 3,000 calories every day until you lose weight. You said you occasionally go over. If you stay at 3,500…

This isn't me. Since I have a primary sleeping disorder, I don't do much on 3 hours of sleep. If I really had 3 hours of sleep the night before according to my fitbit, I'm probably going to bed at 8 PM or earlier regardless of anything else. I'm a danger to myself and others without adequate sleep (not an exaggeration). If…

Also, keep your protein up. I shoot for 90g a day (218 lbs).

You can do this. I second the recommendation to start with C25K. I started running in July and finished the program 14 weeks and 4 days later. I'm now training for a 10K. My half marathon will be December 2015. Get fitted and buy running shoes as early as possible. Don't think about the big goal. Just think about finishing…

You're catching the bug. That's what it is :). I caught it back in July. I'm still going strong, even though I'm waffling about my next goal. I'm about to do my 5th 5K in as many months this Saturday.

I'm posting to follow this thread later. I'm wanting to get into lifting at some point. I'm still concentrating on my running now, but I make sure to eat quite a bit of protein.

Honestly? I don't ask why, I'm just thankful. I did read something about exercise releasing chemicals into your body that delay hunger.

I also heard of a "game" you can play on the treadmill. Write "run", "walk", and "jog" on the back of three note cards. Flip them face down and mix them up. Turn one over and do what it says for the next 5 minutes (or whatever time interval you want). That way, you don't know what's coming next. I haven't tried it, but it…

So much. Part of that is because I can spend the money. Another part is that it's a reward to buy a new thing even if that new thing is running shoes. So.. here's the list: Fancy pedometer (gift) Food scale (gift) Workout clothes (part gift/part free/part bought myself) 2 pairs of running shoes (first one doesn't work for…

Me me me!! Just barely, but I'm shooting for 102. It may go lower when I get there, but for right now that's my goal. I've lost 21 lbs so far. I've picked up running, and I work out 3-4 times a week. You can add me, but I will message you if you don't log in for 5 days.

At this early stage, don't run every day. After you have been running consistently for a year, you can think about running every day. Your body gets stronger during rest days, not during run days. The last thing you want is to be hobbling down the isle in crutches because you pushed yourself too far.

I graduated from the C25K app on Oct. 30 after 14 weeks and 4 days. I'm currently training for a 10K scheduled for sometime in February. I had to get away from zen labs. Their training program was 6 weeks for 10K versus runkeeper's 14 week training. I felt that was better for me. I'm glad to see everyone is doing well :).…

I would recommend a PCOS group for this post. Sadly, it's hard to find it now, since they made the changes and you can't search for groups. I wouldn't go by what MFP says. With PCOS, your body just works differently. I wish you luck. You're on the right track with the lower carbs.

I just got the The Complete Running Book from Runner's World. I'm soaking up any information on running and racing that I can get.

I finally graduated! It took 14 weeks and 4 days, but I did it! I finished on October 30, 2014. I'll be running my 5th 5K on Nov. 19th (I couldn't wait). I'm starting Runkeeper's 10K training app on November 4th. I'm looking forward to logging longer runs :).

I'm a graduate! Yay! I'm starting Runkeeper's 10K training on Nov. 4th. The 10K for this app seeemed way too aggressive. @weighliftingdiva- I can't figure out which leg is bothering you since you seem to have two right legs :smile:. However, I suspect that the leg that is bothering you is weak. I'm right handed, which…

I liked the C25K program, but you are so far along, you would need to start at week 5 to actually challenge yourself (jog 5 min, walk 3 min, jog 5 min, walk 3 min, jog 5 min). The idea of increasing running intervals and decreasing walking intervals might be better.

I started off at 242 in July, and I'm at 220.8 today. I'm not at 25 lbs yet, but it's been at least 3.5 months.

You really should be measuring solid foods in grams on a scale. Using measuring cups can cause you to go over calories even if all the food fits into the measuring cup.
