Can I just say that I LOVE this program!! My weight was at a stand still for about 1-2 months, or so it felt, and since I have started C25K the weight seems to just be falling off!! I just started week 4 yesterday and am down 7lbs. That may not seem like a lot in 4 weeks, but this is the only change that I have made and honestly it wasn't until this week that it really got challenging. So for anyone who needs a little boost in their weight loss I highly recommend this!

Let me just say for the record I am NOT a runner! Never have been. I LOVE playing softball, LOVE it, but learned early the harder I hit the ball the slower I could run. Plus you get to run a few feet and then take a break, who wouldn't love that, right? I wouldn't even play fast pitch in high school, just stuck to my slow pitch summer league because in high school they made you run, blah! People always say, "I love running...It helps me think and clear my mind"...my thought, "I cant think about anything aside from the fact that my big a** is running, lol". However, this program has helped me learn to semi enjoy it. It builds you up slowly, you can go at your own pace/speed and before you know it the pounds are falling off and you are running for 5 mins straight :)

I agree it's a good program. I did it 8 years ago when I was on Weight Watchers and it helped me through the last 15 pounds after a plateau. Unfortunately I stopped running shortly after my first 5k and gradually began to gain back the 98 lbs I had lost! I'm definitely planning to give it another go once I'm back in onederland, assuming my back cooperates (I had major spinal surgery a few years ago and I'm not entirely sure how it'll do with running).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
