Finished another 5K in my best time ever!
I ran a 5K today and had my PR time of 33:25!! I finished 13th in my age group and had a mile average of 10:47. I never could have imagine 3 months ago that I would be able to accomplish this! Time to start training for a 10K!

NSV - My son noticed!
My son is 7 and does my workouts with my sometimes. Today he hugged me and said Mommy you are getting smaller. Then he said, "Not to be rude but you used to be bigger." Haha. I'm doing this for myself and for my children to show them the benefits of eating and being healthier and it is nice that he noticed. Slowly but…

NSV - Dedication!!
It is supposed to be close to 100 this week. It sounds horrible to run in and now with my children out of school I would have to run at the hottest time of the day. Instead of making excuses I found a way to make it work. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning now so I can run before my husband goes to work. The weather is…

Ran my first 5K race today!
Today I did the Run or Dye and while it took forever to finally get started it was a lot of fun and nice to know that I could actually do it! I run another one in four weeks! I would have never been able to do this two months ago, it is exciting to see how far I have come.

NSV - I want to exercise!!
I'm going on vacation this weekend and going to an all day concert on Friday. 4 months ago I would just go and enjoy. Today I am gathering all my stuff together to make sure that I can get a run and a work out in before we head to the concert. Amazing what regular exercise will do to you...you start to crave it and look…

NSV - Finished 30 Day Shred!
Today was my last day of 30 Day Shred and it is so nice to be done. I have Ripped in 30 all ready to go for tomorrow. I don't have pictures but I have lost 10 pounds and 8.25" in the past 30 days! I will definitely be taking pictures before I start Ripped in 30. I feel so proud of myself for accomplishing this and being…

NSV - Change in mindset!
Yesterday I went out to Mexican food, had margaritas, tacos, enchildadas, chips and salsa, etc. When I logged it this morning I knew I was going to be over and I was by quite a bit. Normally I would have probably gotten upset and then let myself slide down into the mindset of eating crap because I had already been bad.…

Those who have done 30 Day Shred - What did you do after?
I have a week left of 30 Day Shred and I am wondering what to move onto next. I like Jillian Michaels and that type of workout but I am just wondering what others moved on to. Thanks for the help!

NSV - C25K Training is complete!!!
Today I did my last run on my C25K program! In total I have run 67.46 miles in the past 9 weeks and have realized that I actually love running. I would have laughed in your face if you had told me that 9 weeks ago when I was huffing through 60 second intervals. I feel great about myself and even though according to my BMI…

Survived Day 1 of Level 3 of 30 Day Shred
My cat came to check me out because apparently I sounded like I wasn't going to make it. Jillian is a cruel mistress but I am seeing results. The strength was easier this Level but the cardio was killer! I hope that next week at this time I will be much better!

Why are you doing this?
I think that everyone hits the point where enough is enough and you know you need to change. I was wondering what motivated you to do this and make the change? For me it is a bit involved. Two and a half years ago I decided to become a surrogate. I was eating good, losing weight and it was something that I had always…

5.6 Pounds and 8" lost!
Today was my weigh in and measurement day and I was stunned by the results. I don't see a lot of differences yet but I have more energy and I knew that was progress. I have lost almost 3.7" in my waist and 2.5" in my hips alone! I still have a ways to go but I know that I can do it! Thanks everyone for all the inspiration…

NSV!
Yesterday was my last day of week 8 for C25K and not only did I manage to hit 3 miles with warm up and cool down I walked an extra mile after I finished because I was feeling great. Eight weeks ago I couldn't have imagined being able to run for five minutes straight and now when the voice tells me that I am done I am kind…

Hello!
Hello! My name is Jaime and I just joined a little over a week ago. Eight weeks ago I started the C25K and was feeling great. I realized though that all my hard work meant nothing if I was going to continue to eat junk so I decided to join here. It has been very helpful in holding me accountable to getting fit. In the past…
