Just did W3D1 today too, but you ran circles around me!!!!! I only went 1.66 miles! I've noticed that my distance has actually gone down each week and I'm so confused! I know I run REALLY slow but it's a LITTLE faster than I walk, and I feel like I should be going further. What's up? Anyone else encounter this? (I do run…

I was pleasantly surprised that my knees didn't stage a revolt! And I really wanted to work on making it a habit, so the first week was great. I only ran 3 times this past week and I'm feeling like it's just too easy to keep skipping days. Doing it every day makes it feel like it's not okay to skip a day. I have a tendency…

Week 1 I ran 6 times. Week 2 only 3 times. I was really debating doing another day of W2 today but figured I'd try W3 and see how it went but I REALLY didn't think there was any way I could run for 3 minutes straight. Well, guess what??? I DID! My pace is SOOO slow but I'm doing it so I guess that's what counts at this…

Yay! I keep telling myself that the longer it takes me to lose the weight, the more practice I will have at maintaining it! (Psssst - As it turns out, butter's not a food group either!) Good Luck & Good Eating!

I hear ya! There are places to buy larger sizes but if you don't happen to live near one of them, good luck with ordering clothes online!!! I don't know how some people get by - oh no wait, I do know, they wear bad fitting plain boring stuff they had to settle for cuz they couldn't get to or afford decent clothes. Yes, I…

If you get in the habit of having a glass of water when you think you might be hungry (but are often just thirsty) it will cut back on your calories too! And probably delay actual hunger a bit too cuz your stomach has something in it.

You look great - excellent job!

Did Week 2 Day 1 today & survived! I ran 6 times last week though, the first 3 as scheduled and the last 3 for 1:15 each time to ease me into week 2. It worked. I had a bit of a stitch in my side but it went away after a bit. I no longer take water with me when I go because I drink it and get pains in my side. I'm going to…

AAAWWWWWEEEEESSSSSOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE!!! They look great! And a good reminder to try on clothes on a regular basis while losing! I squeezed into a pair of size 12's last night and am so excited I'm tempted to wear them jogging today! And do you think it would be too much to clean house in a little black dress that hasn't fit…

You look awesome!!! Congrats on the great work, and the Fab Abs!!!

LOL - love it!

I started on Sunday and have actually done it 3 days in a row! I know the program is for 3 days a week, but a lot of people do cardio 5-6 days a week so I don't think it will do any harm to do it more often. I'm handling it much better than I had expected but I think I'm going to have a hard time increasing the length of…

I'll do you one better and give you a friend! I'm sending you a friend request...

Yay! Good timing - I just did Day 1 and am still alive to talk about it so I am IN! I convinced my hubby to do it with me but can still use all the support I can get! I tried running 3 months ago but quit because of sore knees. This time I'm prepared to go to a sports therapy clinic and get some help with my knees in order…

Well, it must be a sign that I saw this and am feeling the pressure to commit to my desire in writing and in public... I've been thinking about starting Couch to 5k - it's what I was thinking when I went to bed last night and again when I woke up this morning but I'm dreading the thought of actually committing to it, so…

Congratulations! You're an inspiration to all of us!

Oh, file me under JEALOUS! Enjoy!

I haven't tried the DVDs but I love the class I go to. I'd like to be able to do it at home, but I doubt if it would be as much fun without my perky, sexy, cheeky instructor. I've gotten spoiled with a really fun class and I think I'll miss that at home, but if you don't know what you're missing, the DVDs might still be…

That's fantastic sweetie! I'm so proud of you! You must be so excited to start your new job, especially feeling more comfortable and confident because of your weight loss. Feel free to friend me! I was never into the online 'friends' thing, but having a group of people to cheer me on, offer advice, and listen to me…

Your muscles get used to what you're doing after a while so you have to change it up to keep them 'on their toes'. Alternating between casual walking & speed walking might be enough to do it. Or carrying some extra weight (arm weights, leg weights, backpack maybe?). Adding in just a little extra at home can help too. Doing…

Well, you're definitely a gorgeous gal so losing the extra weight would no doubt put you in the HOT CHICK category (if you're not already there!). Feel free to friend me! And good luck with the interview!

Awesome! Great work!

Yeah, I'd have to agree, walking is probably less likely to induce puking.

Yup, me too! Every day, but I know that it can fluctuate. It's sad, when I get up in the middle of the night to pee, I hop on the scale just like I do when I get up in the morning - my brain is well-trained for bed, pee, scale! It's actually kind of neat to see it go down overnight though :0)

Those are AWESOME! Way to go girl! Hope you bought sexy new undies - you deserve em!

Awesome! I need someone to work out with cuz I hate it. Having someone to kick my butt and keep me company would be great. Good for you - it's obviously paying off!

LOL! Yeah, I guess it's easier to fix FAT than for to fix STOOPID!

Well, I've heard that "Ignorance Is Bliss" and I've seen lots of not-so-smart people who are completely oblivious to their shortcomings and seem happy, so I might have to go with being slim over smart. Besides, I've been smart for a long time, it would be nice to try being healthy! ;0) Hey, wait a minute, I just realized…
