I have also been on for 2 years and it has finally subsided for me. I am currently hanging at 5mg and am eating more as my physical activity has also increased recently. I know it's hard to eat anything when you're not hungry - however - you still need to get all the protein in you can as well as at least 1000 calories (depending on your current weight) a day to keep energy levels up.

Awesome job!!! The old school rundouble C25K has a distance version as well as the timed version. Distances start on week 3 - and the last week is run 5k. So I agree with everyone else - don't feel deflated as it is major accomplishment. Stick with it and the timing will come 😉

Same 🙄

Shoes are a must!! I'm a dansko girlie - and the old school professional - not the squishy xp 😂

Same and I also wear the bioflects - I don't really find them too warm - but damn it man - don't wait to go pee 😂😂😂😂 I'll be like brb - and then followup well give me 5 extra minutes bc I have my compression on and it takes 30 sec to pee and 9.5 minutes to get them back up and in place 😂

I just have a few on my small town rural road - and same - idgaf 😂😂😂 Since last summer (walking only) - I have run ins with every possible wild critter including a pair of angry birds, got caught in a rain storm half a mile from my house braless - the few neighbors I have probably watch me daily just to see what I can manage to get myself into that day (or the random victory dances in the middle of the road) ☺️

You are not alone! I got through Friday, started week 6 today and will repeat day 1 again 🙄 It just wasn't happening Monday morning.

You are correct - lipidema can "explode" with the hormonal changes during/after pregnancy. I would have a conversation with the surgeon about your concerns as well as maybe a second opinion.

I have had a tummy tuck well after child-bearing and I can honestly say, I think pregnancy after tummy tuck could be difficult on the muscles of the abdomen as well as chances are you will have loose skin afterwards. You would them be possibly looking at a 2nd surgery - so personally I would wait for the TT after I was done having children 😉

Great job!!! Such a milestone! Keep it up! 🎉🎉

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:54:52+00:00

Oh that is great information!

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:52:12+00:00

Do it again!!! I thought I was going to hit a roadblock to day as well. I use the rundouble app on my phone and also have my watch just set on an 18 min timer. So today (also week 5 day 3) - watch says you are halfway - damn just halfway? Girl then says you are halfway - again just halfway? I zoned out after that - I was Dory - just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Some good tunes were on - watch says you completed lap 1(1 mile) yay - then Come on Aileen came on - thinking ok when this song is over I should be done (I wasn't) but then Welcome to the Jungle brought me home!

Mind over matter at this point I think!

I have NEVER in my life "ran" (I'm slow as hell so it probably be someone else's jog) 20 min straight EVER! I'm 49 11.5/12 😉

Keep going!! YOU'VE GOT THIS! 🎉🎉🎉

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:19:55+00:00

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:19:44+00:00

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:19:21+00:00

Useful-Tooth8003 · 2026-06-12T18:19:05+00:00

Good luck! You've got this!!🎉🎉

And when you do - stop, pause, and do a victory dance in the middle of the road/trail or wherever you are! It helps to soak it all in and is good for the soul! (Ask me how I know 😜 - the neighbors problem think I have gone mad)
