I have never in my life been able to run/jog anything more than half a block. For the first time I am hopeful that I will be able to become a runner. One of my goals is to run a 5k obstacle before the end of the year. I'm on my third try with the C25K and I've gotten farther than the first two times. I figured out it is…

No shame in repeating weeks. The program is designed for you to build up endurance. Some of us take a little longer to build it. I had to repeat W2 three times before I graduated. I spent 3 weeks on W3 and couldn't finish a whole round in that week before I stumbled on this group.They helped me realize my problem, I was…

All of it! I'm going to be good and avoid all the candies this Easter. My daughter never eats her candy so this year she gets a little chocolate bunny and some jelly beans. Nothing for me to pick at.

Here is me. :happy: Female Age: 33 Height: 5' 7" Daily Calorie Goal: 1650-2000 (I'm doing the roadmap diet) SW: 201 Challenge Goal: 175 (i'll be happy to hit 180 or get below it) Preferred Workouts: lifting at the gym, C25K (I'm going to finish this darn program!!) on the treadmill, P90X, Brazil Butt Lift

I came up short on my goal for the last challenge. This time I set it a bit lower for total loss. My ultimate goal is to get down around 155. By July, I want to at the very least be under 180. CW: 201 GW: 175

WTG!! I'm on my 3rd try for the C25K and it took me 3 weeks to actually complete W1. Its a great feeling of accomplishemnt when you finish a week.

I have been following a doctor prescribed/monitered very low calorie (1000 Per day) DASH diet with phentermine. I did really well for the first 2 months (lost over 20 lbs). Now, I haven't budged in the past month. The diet itself isn't too terribly hard to follow; however, I think that my body may be doing the whole…

:happy: Hello!! My name is Niki and I'm a total dork/nerd. I live in SW Florida. I moved down here 10 years ago from the Detroit area to get away from the cold. I LOVE summer. Hot and humid weather are a must. My favoritest color is red. I have a 9 (almost 10) year old little girl who is my life. She has Asperger's which…

Starting Weight: 208 Week 1: 206 Week 2: 204 Week 3: 200 Week 4: 198 Week 5: 200 Week 6: 198 Total so far: 10.0 Not sure if I'm going to make my 185 challenge goal, but I'm still losing. :)

Starting: 208 Week 1: 206 Week 2: 202 Week 3: 200 Week 4: 198 Down 2 lbs total of 10 lbs!!!

I just did W2D2 again this morning. It is definitely getting easier. I think I will only have to spend 2 weeks on W2 instead of the 4 it took me to graduate from W1. It is hard but I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to participate in a 5k by the end of this summer, darn it. Auto63 - Any cardio will help with weight…

After several failed attempts, I have finally graduated to week 2! I actually graduated last week. Unfortunately due to crazy school schedule, I wasn't able to do more than W2D1. So, Monday morning will officially be my W2D1!! I never thought I would be so excited to run.

Amazing! I'm kinda similar in start size and goal. I'm about 5'7", my SW was 217-219. My GW is around 160. I'm down to about 203 now. I love seeing progress like this. It gives me hope. You are truly an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing!!

I started the c25k (again) for the challenge. This will be my third time attempting. This time rather than outside, I'm doing it on the treadmill at the gym. I don't know if its because I've lost about 15 pounds since the last time I tried, or because of the treadmill, but it seems much easier this time around. I really…

I am on a physician supervised low-carb diet. I can't wait to see your recipes. If you want, I can share some of mine.

THIS! I've started the C25K a couple of times recently and these girls just don't want to be tamed! I'm a 38 D-DD and it is painful sometimes and a big part of why I can't actually keep at it. I have tried wearing two sports bras, a regular bra and a sports bra, or wrapping with ace bandages and then putting on the sports…

I love a challenge. Count me in!! :happy:

208 starting weight 185 goal for the challenge 155-160 overall goal

Oh the fun! My other half says I'm nuts with how I eat. Here are some of my major quirks... 1. I must have an even amount of food on both sides of my mouth when chewing. This means even numbers of small things, like pretzels and such at all times. If I chew gum, I either have two pieces, or split one in half so its always…

I've been using them off and on for about 3 months now and I really like it. The flavor with just the shake powder alone is good, and when you add stuff to it its even better. One of my favs is chocolate mint. If you are considering placing an order, you should be able to get a sample or two from the distributor. They have…

I second this. Here are my stats Height: 5'7" CW: 208lbs GW for challenge: 180lbs Ideal weight: 155-160lbs Dress size: 16-18 Bust: 44 Waist: 40 Hips: 46 Build: Hour glass Age: 33

Hey there! I think we are pretty darn similar. Age: 33 Height 5'7" Daily Caloric intake 1000 (medically supervised, will increase when I lose 8-10% body weight) CW: 208 GW: 160 Preferred Workouts: Walking, (trying couch 2 5k), Xbox Kinect/Dance Central, and anything I can fit in my hectic schedule

I live in SW Florida now but I grew up just outside of Detroit. My sister (who was 13) was abducted and raped, just before dark, walking home from a friends house 2 blocks away. My parents went looking for her when she wasn't home on time and found her, an absolute mess, crying and screaming in an alley down the street. I…

I'm not an RN, but I am a 3rd shift critical care secretary (some nights they abuse me and I play LPN), and I'm going to school to be a respiratory therapist. I have about 65 pounds to lose. I'm between semesters and on a lull from an insane schedule. I'm trying to get the ball rolling with my diet and exercise while I…

I love a challenge to keep me motivated! Count me in!!

I have an hourglass shape. Right now at 215lbs, I wear a size 18 pants, and an XL or XXL top. I have a large chest and it never goes away. When I was about 160lbs, I fit into a size 12 pants, and it was a little loose in the waist, but snug in the thighs and bottom. My top will be a L/XL. Now, when I get down to 150, I…
