Ahhh man, I don't know what's going on... Can anyone tell me why my photos won't show up?

My pictures didn't post...let me try something different.

That's fantastic! I have one more run and then I will have completed C25K too!

Wow! You look fantastic! I met my goal today too! Friend me if you'd like so we can maintenance buddies!

Take it from me, I am about your height and I've weighed as low as 140 and I looked too thin. I also lost my period for a year and I hovered between 140 and 145lbs. When I told my doctor this, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal, but I own research said it could be. I think 155lbs is a good weight for you and you…

I too had mini goals every 5 lbs. Some goals were, mani/pedi, new book and magazines, and massage.

I read your bio and perhaps you need to remember the blessings already in your life. Your, hubby, the lover of your life. And your 2 daughters. You are also are blessed to stay home with them. Remember what you have. Embrace each day with enthusiasm and remember all you have is what's going on in the present.

2 piece.

I am almost on maintenance so would love to have support and be supportive. I've 3 more pounds to lose. Maintenance kinda scares me, only because I've been there before, - twice and I failed obviously. I can't seem to get through the first year and a bit. So I would love to have some friends to get through this!

Good to know thanks!

I think if you eat back your exercise calories, then you should log your weight lifting routine. I found this website that I use sometimes because I find that mfp is a little high on the calorie burn. I know this website is not an exact science either, but I'd rather be on a bit more modest on my calories.…

The DVD I use works the entire body. There is no resting, just a lot of reps until the muscles are fatigued and we move on to another muscle group. It's a good workout, but just so long. I suppose maybe I should just do upper body one day and lower body the next. I am trying to tone mostly, tighten up.

What would you recommend as an ideal amount of time each week to weight train?

Thanks for all your input! It really helps. :)

I might be a bit confused. You are on week one, day one? And you ran 22 minutes straight? I am doing the program and I am on week four, day 2 and I am running two 5 minutes intervals and two 3 minutes intervals. Or did you do you get through just 22 minutes? If that's the case, no worries, just keep working on week one…

Thanks so much for sharing! You are an inspiration! I look forward to sharing our maintenance experiences together, you will be a bit ahead of me!

38-30-40. I would like my hips to be 38 and then I think I would be happy happy happy!

I am in the same boat as you. I was 200lbs in January and am at 167 right now. My goal is 160. It seems to be that I've been losing about 5lbs a month on average. It does seem like it takes forever! But when you think about it, we are in this forever. It's a live time commitment. I had to lose this weight 2 times before…

I was thinking weights, sit ups or push ups during commercials. Thought of that last night in bed. I was going to try it today. Provided I get a chance to watch some tv today.

Wow! What a busy thread! Well, I too am 5'10. I have 7.2lbs left to lose before I reach my goal (Provided I fit into my size 10 shorts, if not, well then I will have to keep going a bit more). I can not wait to lose these last few pounds! It seems like it is taking forever! I weighed in today and only lost 0.2! Ahhhgggg!…

Thanks everyone for your responses. I decided to make a blog of what I learned from you. Here is a link if anyone is interested. It's a little easier to get the great ideas people have provided from the thread. Much appreciated!…

What do you mean by the weekly tool?

I just wanted to say that my anniversary is July 14th too!

I'm moving onto Week 3 day 1 tomorrow. I'm excited to see the transition in my endurance of the next few weeks!

No, I never go to bed hungry. I will eat some of my exercise calories at the end of the day. You will eventually get to know when you need to eat so that you don't fall into the "I am starving" phase and want to eat everything in sight. I eat a small meal OR snack about every 3 hours which works for me - and I stay within…

I would like to know what people have to say about this too.

Just wanted to update. Last Saturday I weighed myself and I was 168.2. I was very excited about this! I will be weighing myself in 2 days (Sunday) and will log my progress. Have a great weekend everyone!

I just finished Week 1 Day 3 about a half hour ago. So I'm in! It's been raining for the last 5 days, but I haven't let it stop me. I just get out there and get wet. It is actually kind of nice to run in the rain. I could feel quite a difference in my endurance today. Don't get me wrong, I still have very little endurance,…

I would love to join! I am 169.8lbs and my goal is 160lbs.

I have the same problem! I am sure it's due to giving birth a couple times. If I am taking a class, I always make sure I go to the little girls room, minutes before the class.
