I've just signed up to do the turkey trot too. It will be my first race.

I've been looking for something to do on the days I don't run. Count me in! I will be doing it 3-4 times a week. It will be great to be held accountable. I've done it once before but only completed the first two levels.

Bump for later.

Completed week 7 day 2. I found it a little easier than day 1 so I must be improving. I was a little faster but not much. Day 3 won't be till Monday now. I'm think of repeating the whole program again once I've finished because I'm so slow, and try to do it faster. Has anyone else done this ? Does it work? If not how do I…

I completed week 6 day 3 today. On Wednesday I had trouble running the 10 minutes and in fact couldn't finish the second 10 minutes of running. I decided to move on to day 3 anyway. I'm so glad I did. I can't believe I ran for 22 minutes!!! It was slow, but I don't care, I did it!! We did a full 3.1 miles it took 49…

I know exactly how you feel. 6 weeks ago, I started C25k. I could barely run the 60 seconds for week one. Now I'm on week 6, and I can't believe in such a short space if time I can run for 20 mins. Check out the app. You'll be amazed what you can do!!

I went vegan two years ago after watching the movie " Forks over Knives". Best decision of my life. To date I've lost 69lbs and counting. Within a few weeks of making the changes, my BP dropped and consistently stayed around 110/65, I no longer needed asthma medication and my skin issues all cleared. I no longer have ANY…

I'mI happy dancing right now....lol!! I've just completed the dreaded week 5 day 3. I can't believe I ran for 20 minutes! 5 weeks ago I couldn't even run 60 seconds. So happy right now !! What made it even more of an achievement was it was very hot and humid, and I still was able to complete it.:))

I have been stuck in the 170,s for over 6 months. Like you I was eating 1200 calories. Three weeks ago I did a lot of reading and decided to increase my calories. The first week I went to 1300, the second week 1400, and now I eating 1500-1600. I plan on increasing again to 1700, but while I appear to be losing again I'm…

Well said! Running in Florida is hard work!! I'll be outside another month or so, and then onto the treadmill. The humidity is too much for me!!

Posted my story today, but here are just the pictures! Still a work in progress. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1005597-is-this-really-me-with-pics

Thanks, for all the encouraging comments!

No, I was at an animal sanctuary.

Phew, the pictures are there now!

Ok, how do I resize the picture?

I love reading all the updates. Congratulations to you all. I completed week 5 day 2. I can't believe I ran for 8 minutes. Now onto the dreaded day 3, 20 minutes run......I may be able to do it in my dreams.....lol!

I've done week 4 day 3, three times and still couldn't do it. I think I hit a mental block so I decided to move on. So glad I did. I completed week 5 day 1 today with ease!! I even went for longer and did some faster paced runs! Feeling so good right now !!! I'm a little fazed by day 2, but I will give it my best on…

I too started C25k about 5 weeks ago. I also live in FL, and am the opposite to you. I love running outside , but the heat will soon send me indoors. I'm dreading having to continue on the treadmill, but I know the heat will be too much in a few more weeks:(( My first 5k is not till November so I'll have plenty of time to…

I repeated Week 4 day 3 and still can't complete the last 2 minutes jogging. I will repeat it again on Tuesday, and then plan to move on to week 5. I ran my fastest pace to date. Maybe if I'd slowed down I could have completed it. I will slow down on Tuesday. I feel so good doing this and am seeing other changes in my…

I love hummus on baked potato instead of sour cream.....yum!

I'm 41. The first year the weight came off very steadily. This last year has been VERY slow, and for the last 6 months has stopped completely!! I had been eating 1200-1300 calories. I started couch to 5k 4 weeks ago and increased my calories to 1400-1550 to see if I can get it moving again. Nothing moving yet , but I will…

I did week 4 day 1 last Friday. Like you I needed to walk some of it. I did day 2 today, and was very close to completing it. I will be doing day 3 on Thursday, and hope to fully complete it. I was tempted to go back to week 3, but am glad I didn't.

I did week 4 day 2 today. I almost completed it. I just had to walk the last minute on the final jog. I hope to finish it completely on Thursday! It was very hot and humid, so that didn't help.

I did week 4 day 1 today. I went out really early so it wouldn't be too hot. I didn't manage to do all the running. I did the first set, but had to walk the 3 mins on the second set. I did both of the 5 minute jogs, so I'm pleased with that. I won't be out again till Tuesday now. We have we've not seen in 10 years staying…

It took me 52 weeks to lose 52lbs. I mostly did walking and some JM 30 day shred 4x week.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to stick with it. I'm loving doing the program. Let hope the results will soon follow!

Thanks, maybe I'm just expecting to much too soon. I just thought it would start moving because I've never pushed myself so hard. My diet is very clean, so nothing I can change there.

Yes, I've done measurements, and nothing has changed yet.

My TDEE is 1700s. Im eating -15-20% below that. I eat a plant based diet. Lots of vegetables, beans, hummus, fruit, oats, rice etc. The 69lbs I've lost came off very steadily over an year and a half.
