Yesterday was my 2 year surgery anniversary. Today I RAN my first 5k! I'm so freaking excited. I've lost AND MAINTAINED 100lb weight loss. I would like to lose another 20lbs, but I'm so pumped right now, I don't even care....lol!

Way to go!!!! Congrats that's such a huge accomplishment !!!!!!

What a huge achievement! Congratulations!!

Amazing achievement! Well done

Congratulations!!!!!

That's so inspiring and impressive! Wtg!!!

Great job! A 5 k is on my bucket list , so I need to get cracking ????

Thanks everyone. Even two days later, I'm pumped...lol. JanetPRN you can do it! If I can do it, anyone can! There is an ap on my phone called couch to 5k. You turn it on and it trains you to run a 5k. You walk and then it says, "Start running now" and you run until it tells you to stop. The first week you run at 90 second intervals. By week 5 or 6 you are doing 20 min. It works! I like the Run Double ap because it has a bunch of options and it dumps your Info into my fitness pal for you. It does cost though. There are some free C25K aps too.

Sorry, I can't get this program to work right for me... Lol.

Congrats!

Losing 100 pounds... wow!

Maintaining your loss... double wow!

Doing a 5k... incredible

Ok, I'll try it. I downloaded the app and will start as soon as this darn winter is over. I love your picture running picture . I can't wait to have a number pinned to me, also. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement.

Janet....Let me know how it goes. I understand about the weather. That frustrates me too. I live in Southeast Texas. Saturday I was wearing shorts; today I'm wearing a down feather coat to stay warm! I've read they have treadmill C25K aps, but I've never looked at them. I just got a fitbit. I'm going to see how that goes. I'll let you know.
