  • Oh and ALSO! I added 1.5 miles last night. But the best part? I have shortened my mile time!!!! I started at a 17 minute mile, then down to a 15 minute mile, remember newb ha. I've pulled it down to 14.5 minutes!!
  • @shanaber Internet issues making me angry! LOL It's possibly not being in control or fixing the issue. And thank you to you and @Orphia Pretty much my whole teen/adult life has been a struggle. So actually seeing the positive change is so helpful knowing my choices are worth it. I mean I KNOW they are, but to help me keep…
  • So holy moly internet troubles. Due to technical difficulties I've been offline. Well, the community part. My mobile app NEVER loads this section. :/ Anyway, as of yesterday for the month of August I've hit 30 miles! I'm a newbie if anyone remembers since it's been a while. I had set my goal for 50. I have 8 days left. I…
  • How in the world do you guys get past a cold while running? I can't breathe! Went the first night, but it's worse yesterday and today. I can barely breathe walking let alone more.
  • 8-1 *2miles 8-3 *3.2 miles
  • With that I have gone 2 miles so far. (8/1) I had to finish up my youngest's birthday stuff last night. Thanks for a great way to stay motivated!
  • @TattooedDolphinGirl78 Thank you!! @Stoshew thank you as well! That is a great point! I haven't ran since probably elementary school. And this is actually beginning to be enjoyable again.
  • Just seeing this! But I'm in! I need these accountability/challenge groups! Thanks!!
  • Hey everyone!! Super super new here. Here as in running and never in this challenge before. I'm currently doing a run/walk to build up stamina. I live on very hilly back roads. About 2-3 miles per "run". SO with all that......is 50 for the month seem really low? That's 3-4 times a week. Did I mention I have 5 kids? LOL I'm…
  • Thank you everyone! I unfortunately don't have access to a pool, or I'd likely live in it. Very rural area and so options can be quite limited. I will check out a shoe place when I hit the "big city" ha. I have most definitely heard of C25k. I thought of using that to start but just one day took off out of the house and…
  • Thanks. I have 4 kiddos so if I had time to go, I went. Never know if I will get a chance lol.
  • Glad it's possible! Ha. Ya littlest will be a year in just over a month. So definitely time to get after it. And yes busy! But gotta fit this in for me as well. :) Thanks!
  • Momma of 5 here! 10, 7, 4, 2, and almost 1. Restarting my journey. Again. I keep having babies. LOL But done for real now. I have quite the weight loss to deal with (50lbs) but my mind is in such a better place this time. So in between school, dance, soccer, and whatever else comes along, I WILL do this!
  • Looking great!!!! Congrats!
  • Hey everyone!! I'm Amanda. I'm 25 and mom of 3 (6yr old boy, 3yr old boy, 5 month old girl). I'm breastfeeding my 5 month old and on a mission to lose. I've lost 20lbs so far! 12 left of my pregnancy weight. My goal is 150lbs (cw 185). Finally getting a groove and ready to be skinny!
  • Thanks ladies for all the replies! My little one is also a little over 5 months. I walked out of the hospital maybe 3lbs lighter than I went in. (So much for losing all that baby water weight and such eh?) Since Jan I've really been cracking down on eating habits. I have to find a boundary of good eating and keeping myself…
  • Ah! I think I found my twin haha (well other than age!) Same as above :) 25 SW 206 CW 186 GW 150 :)
  • We're close!! Female 25 (26 in 3 months in my best kid voice lol) 5'6 SW:206 (post pregnancy) CW:186 GW: 150
  • Agreed! I'd love to know how it went!! Sounds like you are on a great road now!! Very inspiring, and keep up the good work!!
  • Thanks everyone! I actually rarely eat eggs. I don't really like them all that much lol. Unless like that or boiled. The potatoes are also a rarity. I'm just getting back into this healthier eating. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and needing to change the way I eat. Even prior to pregnancy I wasn't a great eater.
