The best thing I ate today was 2x triple decker club sandwiches. Really awesome after a 5 mile run.

I'm slowly learning after years of failures that the mindset you need is made up of lots of different strands. Including knowledge about yourself, your state of mind, anxiety/mental well being, consistency over many weeks/months/years and understanding that you do not need to be 100% 'perfect' all the time, but you do want…

My first thought is that this is irresponsible and serves no purpose apart from to put you at risk of injury or unnecessary soreness. I'd challenge the trainer next time and ask for a good reason as to why they made you do this. I'm guessing this is not Navy SEALS training so he/she needs to back off. I'd actually question…

I listened to an interview of a 101 year old lady recently and she said you have to live your life. Her advice was to do what makes you happy, and do lots of it. Forget about the rest, because when you look back on life you don't want to wish you had done something and dwell on the missed opportunity. Other people,…

I'm repeating what others have said, but this is very important information: Have you looked at any coaching information that talks about building a running base of 30 miles per week, maintaining it for a period of 6 months or more? Speed should come later, but building a running base is key to progressing in a healthy and…

You have gone too low with 1200cals. I assume you are male, sorry if I got that wrong. From a TDEE calculator: This might help as well, rather than me try and type it all out: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1399829/step-by-step-guide-to-losing-weight-with-myfitnesspal

I take a B & D vitamin supplement each day with breakfast. I try and eat a balanced diet with in my calories as well.

Well done, you are doing amazing. I've read some good posts about taking a short break and eating at maintenance for a week or two. How are things feeling? I don't want to point you in a direction that may cause you issues. Have you much more weight to lose?

For me: 100% CICO

Well done! You just need to tick of the days, weeks and months and you will reach goal weight. That is what I keep telling myself as well. It's just a process to follow and the results come. Too many people chase the results, just 1 day at a time works best.

I run in Asic Gel Kayano 25's at the moment and I think they are the best Kayano's yet, I started with this model about 14 years ago. Amazing running shoe.

Keep us posted on how it works out pls :-)

5Km run and then an hour later Stronglifts 5x5 program (Squat, Bench Press and Standing Row). Feeling good now :-)

I recently started taking Vitamin D3 and B12. It's been about a month and I am feeling really good. I often struggle with SAD in winter here in the UK, I should have been taking them years ago.

[/quote] This is not the general consensus here. A 1000 calorie deficit is not recommended when you are close to your goal, even if it would put you over 1200. [/quote] Thanks @MikePTY I did not realize.

I asked a similar question in 2017 and saved the answer as I'll need to read it again when I get to the last 25 lbs:

Hi, add me, diary is open and I'm on track to hopefully lose another 50lbs.

A whole wardrobe of sports wear that I could fit in to 10 years ago when I was serious about running. Some really nice training tops, t-shirts and a Gore running jacket. I can't wait :-)

Feel free to add me, more friends the better.

How about a couple of weeks eating at maintenance levels, and be strict with your logging so that you hit the required calories but don't go over them. You will not gain or lose any weight, but you will be ready in 2 weeks to start again with your journey. I've not been there yet, but I have decided that is what I am going…

This is not a comment on whether to run tomorrow or not, I do want to add that anyone serious about running needs to also be serious about rest days. Tomorrow may not be a rest day for you, but you do need to factor one in to give your body time to recover, get stronger and refuel for a healthy lifetime of running. Runners…

Hi ccolizzi, I've had a similar story to yours in 2017 and 2018. You might make it to 100 days eating like this, but from previous experience, starting at 275lbs myself and being 6'1" when I reached 100 days something in me finally snapped and that was the last day I exercised or logged on to MFP and recorded food. I have…

I ran 5k today. Not very fast, but steady with no walk breaks. I've felt good all day since the run.

Thank you all for commenting, I'm looking forwards to having less mass to get in the way, that is the main challenge at present.

Thank you guys, I have ordered the book recomended above, and will be hitting the gym on the way home tonight. Your comments have given me the confidence I needed to get going.

I find eating more protein helps reduce cravings for snacks. I make a protein shake for breakfast, with some fruit, and make sure to have protein with each meal. My diary is open, you are welcome to take a look.

Week 3 run 1 completed. It is going well :-)

Hi everyone. I am new to the group. I have run 3 marathons in the past, the last was 8 years ago. I have not been a consistent runner since 2010. I discovered running during a weight loss period in my life, in my early 30's, and really did love it, but my weight has kept me away from being able to run since the last…
