Looking to Lose Ladies

what is couch to 5k?


ps-way cool on the patookie!!

C25K is a jogging routine to prep for a 5k run. Basically saying you can go from a non runner to a runner in 9 weeks. I downloaded a podcast from iTunes that will tell you when to run and when to walk.

thanks on the patookie! I was thrilled to pieces!

okay very happy you're fitting into jeans. but very ugly that I can't

I was in a snug 18 and now it's a snug 16/roomie 18. I can deal with snug.
you will slide soon too!!

I love American sizes! Its the only way I'll ever contemplate being able to get into a size 10

I have a new number - my last number is 5 so down 8lb since end Feb. Need to crank it up now - DH and I are going to work in the garden tomorrow instead of going out for lunch (which we normally do if we're both off work on the same day).

 

[LindaBabe]

I also slid my patookie into a size 16 jeans this week. Haven't done that in ages!!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Way to go on the patookie, Buffy!!!!

 

[ddavis860]

Great news Buffy!! "One"derland and everything!!

 

[ddavis860]

My new number is 4...

So, I'm down 11 total now, and I can get a new WISH banner!!

According to the WW site, I'm down 18 from when I started! I started there before we all started counting here... guess every little bit and lb really does help in the big picture!!

 

[MazdaUK]

That's fantastic deb! 18 is well over a stone - try to carry it in bags of sugar or flouor and you really see what you've achieved

I must try that podcast

 

[LindaBabe]

You guys are doing GREAT! Deb that's wonderful! The prednisone kicked my good week on it's can. without eating one bite extra, I gained 4 pounds the other day. it is NOT fair.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hope it turns around soon. How long do you need to stay on it?

 

[New England Eeyore]

I like that Couch to 5 K thing. I'm going to try it when we get back from vacation. I had been trying to work spurts of jogging into my treadmill routines, but that sounds like a good way to be more serious about it.

Congrats to those of you who are doing so well!

Linda sorry the prednisone got you. It get's me too. hang in there......

Well the scale was a bit better this am. I'm going to try weighing myself every day just to watch it. I'm still unhappy with myself cause it was showing up 2 but hopefully by tuesday it will work itself around to that happier number. I'm trying to drink more water cause everyone says it helps so far all it's done is cause me to spend more time in the bathroom. off to bed.....

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I spend more time in the bathroom too. Not sure what all this water is supposed to be doing for me, but I'm getting in my 8 glasses.

Hope you have happy numbers soon Christy.

Linda, med weight gain is hard, you are right, it isn't fair, however when you are off the predisone you will go back to where you were. I hope you feel better.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

All righty! Today's weigh-in--9.6. After 2 stuck weeks, I'm happy!! Not down much, but it's some! Now, to keep it up!! 6 weeks til Disney!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Back from weigh-in. My new number is 1.2. Yes, that's right, down 2.8 this week for a total of 10.6!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am up .2 so my new number is 2.0.

I'm okay with that. I had a ton of bad stuff on Friday and Saturday. A few cups of ice cream will stick with you. I had Graeter's on Friday and homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt on Saturday. Couldn't let any go to waste.

I don't know if I'll lose these last two pounds before May 1st. But I'm okay with that too. I do feel healthier. I'm exercising regularly. My family is eating better. I'm good.

 

[joyah]

Well the new number on the new scale after a week is 3 so that is up 1 I believe. I'd really hoped to be better off going into ckc but it is what it is.

Onward and downward my friends. 6 lbs to the first goal.

 

[LindaBabe]

Last week, I was thrilled to average 216. THIS week, it annoys me greatly. 216.

 

[PinballFamily]

Last number is 7.5. Up one pound since last week. (That number last week was suspiciously low, though, so I'm not too concerned.)

Have to be good during CKC - trouble ahead!

 

[rlovew]

I am at 0.0 this week- up .5 from last week- not a surprise with the stress and Disney trip in the last week.
