Interesting... So my goal is to increase my speed while slowly building my distance. I have a plan in mind, but it is different than your advise. Maybe I am messing it up. Can you let me know what you think? Current: 2-3 miles twice weekly Average = 3-5 miles/week Plan: 1 mile 2 times weekly at an increased speed 3 - 4…

Couch to 5K (C25K) has a 10K training program. I haven't tried it yet, but I did complete the C25K program and I would not be able to run that far without it. In fact, when I started, I could barely run 0.3km

I kinda had a feeling that you were not pushing yourself hard enough.... You can totally double your distance in a year.

You did great!

Thanks, I agree! It sounds like this was your first 5K. That is awesome! Congratulations! My picture shows me finishing my first 5k. It felt amazing. I finished at 51:04 so I have improved some. My goal is to complete a 40 minute 5k. I am thinking of completing 1 mile at my fasted speed 3 days a week and completing 3-4…

completed yesterday (1/25): 3.1 miles in 47:09. Kinda sad since I have actually been trying to increase my speed. That's okay. I am going to figure out a training plan and try to get faster.

Alcohol is my vice, also. I decided to cut it out through January. Half way there! My progress is definitely much better when I am not drinking. That way I am avoiding empty calories and I am able to control my cravings better. Man, when I drink... I just want something fried and/or fatty. Also, I know that a 6oz glass is…

I never pay full price for fruits or veggies. Why pay $3.50 - $4.00 for strawberries when I can get them on sale and pay half the cost, especially when they are in season. I never new how much money I was wasting. Turns out, the same concept applies to meat. I prefer to stock up when the prices are lower. I love when…

Woohoo! Way to go!

That is awesome. I wish that I had started that young.

Are you kidding? That is huge! Good job.

It took me nearly 5 months and a loss of 20 lbs. to start fitting into my smaller clothes. I'm still not sure that the mirror reflects my loss.

That is so awesome! Thank you @roxilegend, lexbubbles, and cycletrak1 for putting so much work into the spreadsheet!

Tracking with my food diary Making it to the gym today (and at least 2-3 times/week) With-staining from alcohol for 1 month

You could turn that walk into a run, also.

I'm looking at all of the goals listed on here, and it is just amazing how close these 20 pounds puts us to our final goals. I hope that everyone has had a good start. Now lets ROCK IT OUT!

Current weight - 177.2 lbs Goal for Easter - 162 lbs Ideal weight - 150 lbs

1/1=22 minute HIIT workout + bonus jumping jacks and squats 1/2= 1/3= 1/4= 1/5= 1/6= 1/7= Minutes left required=98 minutes Total of minutes for the week= 22 minutes

1/1/15: I will find a new job this year! 1/1/15: This year, I am going to continue losing weight. By summer, I will be at my goal weight of 150 lbs. I will be successful by: 1. Logging my foods 2. Continuing to exercise 2-3 times per week (on my days off) 3. With-staining from alcohol, starting with the month of January 4.…

Ultimately, it is just a goal deadline to help with motivation. I don't think anyone would ever consider deleting you! Besides, you are so close to your goal weight that it is going to be a challenge. So bring it on!

I had some alcohol and treats over the last 2 days and today I showed a 3 pound gain. I am going to give it a few days. I will log it if it is real. I sure hope not...However, if it is, I will suck it up and get back on track. I will just have to work extra hard going forward.

Made me laugh! or as most people say... LOL ... but for real

I can definitely see a difference. Good job!

Such an inspiration!

I love to swim. It burns more calories than anything else that I do. I also started training for my 1st 5k. I am going to try the Couch to 5 K (C25K) app and see if it helps. I figure that I will do best if I have a goal.
