Lost so far: 4.0 lb

Current Weight

Goal Weight

Still to go: 53.5 lb

I am a mom of 4 and a stay at home mom. I have done the weight loss thing before and maintained it until my last pregnancy 3 yrs ago. It was a very difficult pregnancy and I ended up putting on 90 lbs durning the pregnancy. Anyway, somehow I am finding it very hard to lose this time and it has a lot to do with not wanting to give up foods I love. So I am hoping that between working out and eating right I will start to see some changes.

1 Foot In The Grave, but the other foot isn't ready yet
Hello Other Foot, I am glad that you are here. It is great that you are following a diet now and losing weight. The hardest thing to do is change your eating style. I am struggling with that now. My father had COPD but refused to change anything and we lost a year ago Nov. He had this pedals thing that was just bike pedals so he could sit and work his legs. Well in theory, he used as a foot rest instead. You can use it for you arms to, but if you can walk (my dad could not)then short walks would be great to start. I have asthma so I can't run yet until we get it under control, so I go on 3 mile walks in the morning and do push ups sit ups etc. However before you do anything talk to your doctor. Everything is baby steps and then you build on that. Good luck

Wanna train to run a 5k--help
Okay I at this point I am not running due to the fact I was recently told I have asthma. As soon as the dr clears me though I am back at it. I have always been a sprinter so distance running is hard for me, but in a week I went from being able to run 2 min to running a mile in 30 min. First, the shins are due to the improper shoes for the shape of your foot. I know crazy but true. Depending on if you have a flat, high arch, or normal arched foot depends on the shoe support you need. Make sure before you run you do a short warm up for your legs (lunges, squats, or even a 1 min walk will do the warm up), then put on a watch that has a stop watch and time your nonstop run, when you stop running stop your watch and don't restart it. Take a 60 sec break (walk) then start running again, if you can do this for an hr. Everyday increase your time so if you do a 1 min run then the next day run for 2 min. For me a run looks like a power walk, but I can maintain that for a mile without walking. So running right now is not about speed but about what you can maintain. Don't get discouraged because your legs hurt,trust me they will for a period of time. Make sure to start you are doing this on a flat surface. For the first two weeks you do not want any hills just a flat area, after two weeks you want to push yourself on hills and doing some sprinting. Running is really the best way to lose weight quickly. Good luck
