10 lbs to overweight for me. Been lingering in that range since holidays. This is my first goal. Great accomplishment!

Hi, I have been struggling to just go out & run. I started calling it jogging. Sounds easier, less difficult & it did help me keep up for a week or 2. I live in FL, too, on the other coast. I always run by myself because of my slow pace , short legs, & lack of discipline to keep a schedule. I think as long as u go out & do…

Count me in, have 35 lbs til goal weight, so this is perfect motivation to stay on track. Feel free to friend me.

Great job! I also have just started over again. Weighing in at my heaviest ever. Trying to lose 58 lbs. Ordered nutrisystem this time, and lost 3.8 lbs this first week:) I also try to eat fresh foods & water. I am not only eating organic labelled foods, but I try to choose wisely. I need motivation / support, too.

Hello! 4'11'' here. I would also like to hear shortly success stories. Please post, thanks.

That is a great attitude! Each day is a new beginning. I agree. I also use the support of people on mfp to keep me going. I create mini goals and plan rewards for achieving those goals. For example, I have a weekly weigh-in. On the third week, I plan to have lost at least 1.5 lbs. And exercise 3xs per week minimum.My…

My heart rate has always been on the low end of normal scale at checkups. I am 40 yo female 4'11. My resting hr is 72 bpm. 220-40=180 max hr. Target hr should be 108-135 bpm during cardio. Began eliptical this week. Killed my thighs but with the urging of those who train, I did it again Friday and I am fine now. On the…

Not sure if I will be much help. I had a c section (battle scars)16 years ago. Before pregnancy I was running and doing sit-ups, push-ups daily and obstacle courses or backpacking 5 miles weekly.The ab muscles have never fully come back. Still numb in a few spots too. I have been able to feel some of the muscles only since…

Didn't as many squats this week. Only did about 24. Started running exercise program hoping to lose more by adding cardio.

4'11". I am always the shortest wherever i go. Just starting so no before and after pics. Thanks to those who shared. Amazing results. Great job to all of u! Motivational. I am beginning to run. Starting slow and walking at first. Using a training plan for 5k & marathon as a guide. Ran 1/4 mile in 4 mins. The slowest…

Did the same exercise routine. Plus added squats through out the weekend. Will decrease my goal to 100 a week. More attainable right now. When do cardio and step will increase. Great job top those who keep up with it! A little at a time ads up.

I began my exercise routine this week. Did abs and glutes. Included 48 squats and 32 lunges. Also arms and shoulders did squats instead of sitting for 3 exercises. Did 4 sets of those. So 12 squats. Total 60 squats. Seemed like allot more. Anyway it kept me motivated. Thanks!

I did not meet my goal of 200 per week. I will do more this week. I did 115. I also cleaned my future exercise area and bought some resistance bands and a balance ball. Still motivated too get started!

I will set a weekly goal of 200. I've never counted how many i did before. I may need to adjust this number if it is too little or too much. This week will be the one to make time for it. Some ideas of when to do it. .. while heating up food in microwave, while watching tv, while food is warming on stove, during breaks or…
