OMG! Frustrated!!!! I was supposed to do W4D3 today (have been running inside on dreadmill) my neighbor talked me into running outside with her today. She is on W2D2...I thought piece of cake.....WRONG! WAS DYING. My shins burned so bad I thought I would die. Icing now. I did it. I did not like it but I did it. It is 85…

YES! I agree. My pace is sooo slow I log it as walking...but I am working on being able to complete the program and then I will work on pace. Allie

I would like to start checking in here again. I need accountability. I am resuming C25K. W3D3 today.I am Nowhere near 5K in 30min, so I usually add some walk/jog to the end to get closer. Most of you probably don't remember me so here is brief intro. 46 year old. FT Oncology Nurse in a busy Chemotherapy Clinic. Mom of a…

RN BSN OCN here X 20 years. It is a stressful job with unique challenges related to consistent exercise and diet. I am sorry your professor is so awful. What kind of nursing do you want to do? Allie

Getting ready to do W3D3....also very slow. Never get close to 5K in 30minutes....I have been adding some walk/jog time at the end (what ever feels good) to get closer to the mileage. Anyone who has done this in the past....what do you recommend. Complete program and THEN work on pace? or repeat weeks increasing pace. Allie

W3D1 today. I do NOT complete 5K in 30min at all. I am a really slow slogger...but I am doing it. The outside edge of my right foot burned for the first 20 minutes than eased up. I felt so good when it was over that I stayed on the treadmill until I completed 5K...jogging some...walking some...I am really slow. Did I…

Would love to join in for the support as well. I am a FT working mom (work as an Oncology Nurse) of two teens. Almost 13 and 15.5. I never had a weight issue until my second child ,was born. After him I kept on about 30 unwanted pounds...then 5 and 8 years ago respectively, I lost both of my parents rather tragically and…

So glad I saw this thread. I just recommitted myself to MFP tracking and started C25K today!! I would love to have some accountability friends! I have about 70# to lose and run really slow. My legs always give out before my lungs! Are you all running inside or out? I am doing a combo of both depending on the day/heat. From…

This is so inspiring! I am at my all time high weight 216 (5'4") I guess I am probably an 18 but dont know becuase I wear scrubs for work and yoga pants at home. I feel hope seeing so many who have done it the right way. Slow and steady. Today is the day. I am done feeling bad all of the time. I am not even sure WHAT my…

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! Goal for today is to make it through!! LOL. Long day 12 hours (with 70+ patients in the clinic) and the Institute for Cancer Care dinner. Not worried about that as I am unlikely to even make it there. Day off tomorrow with laundry , slogging on the Dreadmill and catching up here. Onward. Allie

Charlotte. Happy Belated Thanksgiving. I sort of know how you feel. Both of my parents are gone and so is my father in law. My mother in law is in her 80s and lives in a retirement community. Holdiays when my kids were toddlers were 20-30 people and now no one really does much unless I plan it so it is sort of blah. I am a…

Hi all I started checking in here late summer...then went on vacation and sort of hit a downward spiral. Sigh. I tried doing a few weeks of Medifast (my friend has a bunch of left over “food” and gave it to me...I would do well during the week and then tank on the weekends...NOT healthy. I think I finally figured out that…

Sure. Allie

I really need friends and support. I am the only one of my friends with a weight issue. I am miserable in my own skin. I have to do this for my health....mental and physical...I have only had a weigh issue since the birth of my second child....he is 12....YEARS old. I am so out of shape. I cannot seem to stick with…

Hi all. Cannot go back for shout outs today. Limited time. Finally think I have my head on straight and am going to approach this as a lifestyle change. Kids went back to school today (both milestone years..high school & middle school). I am looking at this as the start of my new year! Goodbye to being trapped in this fat…

HI there. I started checking in here about a month ago and then fizzled. I used as an excuse my two vacations and that it was too hard to stay the course on vacation. WELL here I am again. I did not gain. BUT really felt limited and self conscious at the beach :( with DD starting HS in next week and DS starting middle…
