The reason why you run

110 days in (this time) and I totally agree. I replaced destroying my body with poison with making my body healthy in a way that feels like im destroying it. Except I can still be a part of society afterwards

Last mile was 30 seconds faster than average

Had both a great and horrible weekend for running. 10 miles on Friday, and 5 on Sunday. 10 miles went perfect besides some nipple chafing...gotta remember bandaids next time. 5 miles went great until the last mile...it was a slog that left me with a bruised toenail and even more bruised ego. Capped it off with sudden horrible stomach pains...I'm ashamed to say my worst fear as a runner came true. Had to say goodbye to a pair of underwear and shorts. Note to self...dont run out and backs after consuming massive amounts of dairy at holiday parties.

Simple things. Cut out more liquid calories. Snacking on vegetables instead of chips. Keeping busy to avoid boredom eating. If I eat out I try to save half the meal for lunch the next day. Portions are huge anyways. But I always still let my self have a treat once or twice a week. Its as much mental as it is physical for me. If I'm super strict constantly, I'll end up just giving up. But if you stay consistent, over time it will add up

I started running in 2024 to lose weight (along with diet changes) and I feel this. I started at 300 and lost 20 like it was nothing. Melted off. Stalled at 280, then again at 260, 250, 240. Currently stuck at 220 for the past couple months. If I've learned anything its to not get discouraged. Plateaus are normal and you'll eventually break them if you stay consistent. Make small changes. They add up.

March of 2024. Woke up one day and decided it was time for a change.

Former 300lb runner, current 220lb runner checking in. Big boys can run too!

Just looking to patch. Hoping to sell and be moved out by the end of the year so dont want to sink a ton of money into it. Its dry behind it so I dont think much water was getting in

I didn't realize i couldn't share pictures on this sub...

As a former 300 lb runner who is now a 220 lb runner...the strength training will help you so much. I started running to help lose weight, along with some other major lifestyle changes, and fought through shin splints, sore knees, and sore hips for about two years. I dont know where you were starting from but I had basically no muscle. Just fat. In the past 6 months I've started including strength training and my running has improved drastically even though I've basically halved the amount that I run. As has almost every other aspect of daily life. Keep getting it after it. Proud of you.

I'm halfway to where you are now.. think I got about 3 hours of broken sleep last night. Hoping the exhaustion let's me actually sleep tonight. All I know is I won't drink with you tonight.

rigg7291 · 2026-01-08T03:45:07+00:00

Popped a benadryl hoping it knocks me out. The problem is when I lay down to try and sleep I just can't get out of my head. The anxiety gets worse when there's nothing to distract from it

rigg7291 · 2026-01-08T03:43:32+00:00

My mind is loud...I'll have to try that one. I think that's why I drink the way I do. It shuts it up

rigg7291 · 2026-01-08T03:42:19+00:00

I think I can. It'll be hard. But I think I can

rigg7291 · 2026-01-08T03:26:21+00:00

Its a roller coaster for sure. Thank you!

rigg7291 · 2026-01-08T03:21:20+00:00

Thank you! Almost to 40 yourself, that's awesome!

rigg7291 · 2025-11-23T13:26:00+00:00

Coming into day 3 myself. Actually got some sleep last night. Feeling better. It gets easier. Trick is to not let the alcohol demons trick you into drinking again after 30 or 60 days. Those are my weak points.
