Finished the OHR Program!!
I finished the One Hour Runner program yesterday. For those of you not familiar with it, it comes after C25K and stretches you out to running one hour nonstop. Since I need something new to work on, I'm thinking about trying Hal Higdon's 10K Training Program. This program continues the running three days a week, while…

Under 200 lbs for the first time in 10 years!!
I began my weight loss journey on 1-12-10 at 238 pounds (the most I had ever weighed). At that time, I was wearing extra large shirts and size 36 pants. Since that time, I have slowly been losing pounds and inches. I have used MFP religiously, completed the C25K running program, and I am currently working on the One Hour…

Ran 3 Miles Tonight!
I ran three miles tonight! Averaged 10:39 per mile. I know that's pretty pitiful compared to what some of you can do, but I'm still pretty stoked about it!! Had to share!

25 Minutes Nonstop!
I finished week 6 of C25K last night, running for 25 minutes straight. If someone had told me 6 weeks ago that I would be running for 25 minutes, I would have thought it some rude, vile, nasty joke. This probably seems like nothing to some of you, but it is a big deal to me!

Struggling to get under 210...
I started my lifestyle change on Jan. 12 of this year. I started at 238lbs and am currently at 211. The problem is that I have been stuck at 211 for more than three weeks now. I am getting frustrated with this. The weight I have lost, I have done it by logging my food, staying within my goals, exercising on the elliptical,…

Started C25K...
I started the program tonight. I am also using the free podcasts. They are very helpful with the music and the prompts to run and walk. This allows me to complete the goals without looking at my watch every five seconds. I will let you know how it turns out. I'm curious to know what you guys think of the program. Has it…

Craziest Thing Ever...
Yesterday when I woke up the scale said 218.0 pounds. This was discouraging because it was my third consecutive weigh-in with no loss. I was also aggravated because I knew I wasn't going to be able to stick with my goals for the day. I had an insurance meeting at eleven, and my boss bought lunch. I had fried chicken…

Making progress again!
After a solid 2 weeks of doing everything right and not losing anything, I lost 4 pounds last week. A small victory, but I'm pretty jazzed about it!! I am convinced that it is because I left the treadmill behind and bought an elliptical. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

5k every day?
I recently ran into my former boss. He is 5'7" tall. The last time I saw him he weighed 330 pounds and had been diagnosed as a diabetic. When I saw him last week he looked so different! He has lost 100 pounds and now weighs 227. I asked him how he did it, and he said the formula was simple: eating no more than 1600…

I have broken my addiction..
For the last 13 years, I have drank Diet Mountain Dew like crazy. When I say like crazy, I mean 5 or 6 20 oz. bottles per day. It was as though I couldn't survive without it. When I would try to quit, the headaches would come, and I would start drinking recklessly again. At work, I couldn't function unless I had 2 20oz.…

Day #9 and not seeing any results..
This is day 9 for me. I have been under my calorie goal for all nine days. I have no problems drinking the 8 glasses of water. I have also walked 9 miles during this time. Just wondering if this is normal, or if I am doing something wrong.
