Ultimately, we need to do whatever we need to do to be healthy. Whether it's easy or whether it's hard, I'm going to keep working at it as long as I need to, and I just assume that this is for the rest of my life. Going back to the way I was is not an option. I'm becoming a new person, and if that means always eating less…

I'd like to do this, too! Is there still time to join?

Battle of New Orleans :)

Thanks for the specifics!! :) I've been wondering about this myself.

same here!

Yes, this often happens to me, too. I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts on why this is.

Venti Awake Tea with skim milk and 1 splenda... mmm :) In fact... I'm going there to get one now! :)
-
This has happened to me, too... it's just that you had lots of fat making your stomach stick out before, and now that a lot of that fat is gone, the skin is extra wobbly and kind of hangs there. NOT fun to look at, I know, but all of the exercises she mentioned above have helped me with this, and the main thing is just…

I LOVE black tea but I did find that the caffeine content contributed to my blood pressure being a bit high. When I cut down to no more than 2 cups a day (usually just 1), my blood pressure went down, too. As long as you're monitoring this aspect of it carefully, though... like everyone says, black tea has so many…

That's quite a change! You're doing a GREAT job! :)

I guess take it either way. :) About the running socks... I got the special "running socks" from the store (you know the really thin ones that mold to your feet and all that), and my feet slid around so much in my shoes that I got blister after blister after blister wearing those things! So I went back to my old hanes…

:happy: Well said :happy:

This. I'd love to participate in sports again, but I don't know anybody else who wants to play pickup basketball or soccer or whatever it might be, no matter how willing I am to do it myself. I wish I could find somebody who wanted to! But running is really fun, too, you know! I run because I love to do it! Having said…
-
Amazing... that is something to aspire to, for sure. Keep up the great work!
-
Ugh... heartburn, knees hurt constantly, if I took too long to tie my shoes, I'd have to straighten up and breathe before finishing, because my fat stomach was crushing my lungs so much, I couldn't shop at decent stores for anything but scarves and shoes and purses, fat arms that looked like legs, fat stomach that stuck…

I put Circuit Training for Slim in 6. Don't know about Just Dance. When I was doing Slim in 6 every day, I had excellent results with it. Problem is... I got really tired of doing the same workout every day and also all the squats and lunges were hurting my knees. I still do it every now and then because it's a great…

I use C25K Pro for Android and I like it. It gives me an added boost when I can see how many weeks/days are filled in, so I get to feel like I've accomplished set goals, rather than just did some running a few times a week. I know it may just be psychological, but I like all the motivation I can get! I use the Buddy Runner…
-
Yes, this! I never thought I'd be able to run and now I can. I can't say enough nice things about C25K. :)
-
No, it definitely doesn't make you obsessed... it means you're committed and determined. There's a big difference. I do agree with what someone said earlier about it being hard to stay motivated to go to the gym that early during the winter, so what if you went to the gym in the evenings when you can, but got a really good…
-
Great job!! That's a pretty great speed!
-
Add me! I'm on week 8 of C25K and I have my first 5K race this Saturday. I'm going to start Bridge to 10K once I'm finished with that, and I'd like to start training for many more 5K and 10K races to come! :) Like many of you on this thread said, I never thought I'd be a runner, but once I got started, I am completely…

What a great idea!!! I have only been to HuHot once, but it was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. (And sadly, yes... very unhealthy.) I am going to have to try your idea next time we have guests. Thanks for sharing! :)
-
I am so jealous.... I LOVE them!!!!!! :brokenheart:
-
Hang in there... if you keep doing the right things long enough, you WILL get results. That is just a fact. Sometimes it takes our bodies a while to transition from one phase to another, and that's most likely all this is... just a time of transition. Bravo to you for your dedication, though! A sugar purge would take a lot…

That makes three of us. :explode:

There is the possibility that she was just trying to be helpful... tone of voice and facial expression as well as how she behaves to you overall make a big difference. Only you can evaluate that. Before you just decide you're being oversensitive, consider whether she's really intending to put you down or if she's just…
-
Congratulations!! I'm on Week 7 Day 3 and I know I will be so proud when I've completed it, so you should definitely feel good about yourself for getting all the way through! :)
-
I think it would be more accurate to add up your running times and log them at the average speed you're running, then add up your walking times at the average speed you're walking. You have two entries, but C25K's format makes it very easy to distinguish how many minutes you're doing of each.

I'm pretty heavy, so I usually get some knee pain when I do anything that requires a lot of bending, squatting, jumping, or other unusual stress on the joints, and I have learned to do everything possible to minimize the strain (supplements, proper stretching before and after, wearing decent shoes) and to recognize my…

I love C25K!!! Never thought I'd be able to run till I lost all the weight, but this program is great for helping you take it in manageable steps, no matter where you start out. If you are interested in running at all, definitely give this one a look. :)
