an actual outside, with a number on my chest, no...I haven't run an official 5k. However, a 5k is 3.16ish miles and since I run 4.5-5 miles a day...you get it . On my "light days" I set the treadmill to 5k and jog along.

I will hit the treadmill after work...then some freeze dance with the kids and kettlebell before bed!

your welcome , i know this way work nice i did it my husband did it and we both lost weight. We were never hungry , and it is coming a life style at one point , and when your done losing just had 25 g of carbs a day until you stop losing , ex 125 for a week , when you weigh yourself you still lose , well try to 150 . Me at 150 i was maintaining myself , the other way is to reduce the training as well but being active is a part of being healthy and 80 carbs , i was burning this within 30 minutes of eleptique ... level 7 or 8 which is i guess more than easy to continue. Now following a pregnancy i will start back this system again as I gained a lot of weight ... i gaining average 100 pounds per pregnancy ... i have 3  kids so I start to get use to losing weight ! Don't get upset if you gain weight  at first as you will built muscles ... then you will shred down ! on a regular pace , you will be very proud and keep your motivation will be easy with these result. Do not look the calories , low calories diets are known to fail , cut the carbs , your body will then turn the fat you eat first in energy source then will get the reserve out !

Hello everyone! I recently found this site so I thought I would give it a try.

Early last year I was having blood sugar issues, achy joints and I was pretty much miserable so in February I started doing some light strength training and changing my diet. I started walking outside in April and by June the aches and pains faded and I had a more energized feeling. I stopped drinking coffee, soft drinks, and anything with caffeine and I gave up the junk like chips and pretzels and switched to bananas. I'm not exactly sure what my starting weight was but I know it was well over 400 and now I would guess I'm around 300.

Would love to have you!  Come on over to the fb book group, we are growing everyday and people are really loving the support!

I had asked the same question to my doctor who explained me , that the severe side effects were just not worth it , that it was better for me to concentrate my efforts and energy to  live healthy ... i have a slow metabolisms and a am not losing weight with a 1200 calories a day diet with less that 100 carbs .... when the Canadian guide recommend to a normal weight person to eat 300 ... any way ... to lose weight i have to burn by exercising 80 of the 100 i eat everyday ... then the rest if my nutrition goes for my basal needs .... when i should need 2900 calories a day according to my weight for my basal and eat a way under .... i felt misunderstood a long time , but resign myself to fight the battle an no one else will do it for me if i want to be in peace with myself !
