Winter_rose89 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I started my journey out at 293lbs, when I finally decided to change. With the help of my FitBit, I'm down to 267lbs by walking and counting calories. I don't know if I'm ready for running or not, but I'm going to try my hardest! I deserve to be healthy, not trapped in this prison I created. No matter how long it takes me to have to work at this, I want to be able to say that I can do it one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I like the prison metaphor. DeeB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeB Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I am nervous about trying this! I have just completed the Whole30 diet and feel so much better and have energy and that is new for me, but I have 110 extra pounds and I don't want to try this and get discouraged. I have to start somewhere and there isn't anytime like the present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 DeeB, start with walking and try slow jogging. Do not rush. These extra pounds, we are carrying, can do a number on our joins... DeeB and Stitch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I work a very physical job but am also trapped in my own "prison" (I like that metaphor as well). Slowly but surely I will escape. I am on day 7 of 1 hour per day on the treadmill. Started this program yesterday hoping I can do a 5k in October. I have never been a runner but am willing to give it a go. Even if that means I walk half the way I will try my best. I don't have tons of weight to lose but if we all encourage each other we can succeed. Hard to do it all alone. Best of luck everyone!

Chrisk2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Walk when it hurts. As the pounds drop off the pain gets lesser. Less weight on the joints. Then you find new pain lol. I have been all over the scales as long as you are sweating you are making gainz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
