I WALK/JOGGED 1 MILE A DAY FOR 21 DAYS...this is what happened / BEFORE & AFTER WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS

I decided to begin my actual fitness journey with this 21 day fitness challenge to walk/jog 1 mile a day for 21 days. I began thinking that I could magically run 1 mile a day as a complete beginner but I was greatly mistaken and re-evaluated my goals very fast. Jogging is definitely not easy just starting out but it got easier over time and it is a very effective way to lose weight and tone up. I didn’t really enjoy running but it feels good to have completed this 21 day fitness challenge and I am definitely loving the before and after results. In this video you will see my ups, downs, and the challenges I face being over-weight and running.
Starting Weight: 252.4 lbs
Current Weight: 239.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 150 lbs.

In case it helps anyone, when I started running outside I would count telephone poles. Run 1 pole, walk 1 pole. Then start increasing the running telephone poles over time. It gives you small wins along the way.

That's a really good idea! I want to run a full 5k eventually but the thought of running makes me want to be sick, lol

[@hannacage9455]

If you are going for a 5k distance and you get to the running 1 pole walking 1 pole stage you k ow you have run half a 5k. Running two pole and walking 1 pole you know you have run 2/3 of a 5k, etc. Eventually you will be running 15/16ths of a 5k and be like, do I even need to walk? And then you are there.

[@brandiphillips5775]

As your cardiovascular endurance improves, running becomes enjoyable. And when you lose all the weight that's slowing you down, you actually feel motivated to get out there and run. RUNNER'S HIGH IS REAL

[@katieghoul0092]

So true! I've struggled with my weight my entire life. A few years ago I lost 80lbs to enlist into the military. Long story short, alot has happened and I've gained it ALL back. Working on losing it again 💪🏼 . But I remember that i got addicted to running 🏃‍♀️. I got up to 9mi at one point. It made me feel so much better, and overall I felt healthier. It's amazing how much of a difference you can feel inside and out when you're healthy. Runners high is a real thing. 👌 hopefully I can re-enlist by next year if I meet my fitness goals.

[@oranbrie]

as a cross-country runner with quite the serotonin deficiency, i hope that one day i'll be able to feel this way

I just do 2 miles now. Before I did 3, 4 times a week. The first time I got runners high I felt like everything was amazing. I stopped for 9 months due to surgery and covid now I really want that feeling back. I am starting to get back where I was. I run not for weight loss but for my mental health. It really does help.

GIRL the WAY SHE IS SHAVING THAT TIME DOWN omg man I feel like she's like a runner at heart

[@mignonhagemeijer3726]

Yeah it is super awesome. Man, once you get that mindset and get into running people can be amazed by what one can accomplish! Especially on a treadmill it is a good start as seeing the numbers can be super motivating and you can easily distract yourself with a show or something when it gets hard. I hated running with passion (astma + all kinds of orthodontic issues ), but that all changed when I got onto a threadmill during a cruise. I made huge progress in a short time. After that I got also into running outside and it made me so happy. It is all about just getting like 1 second faster or 1 meter farther away and then after that you see "wooowww I went from 5min on 7km/h to 30min 9,5km/h". Sorry for the happy rant. Ps. Do give your body time to recover. Recovering is as importaint as the exersice. Will get you farther in the long run. :)

[@temi915]

as someone who lost weight by jogging/running, the best way to keep it up is to make sure that you enjoy it! exercise doesn't have to feel like you're dying at any point. you can build your endurance even while making it fun: make a playlist, listen to a podcast, and if you have a treadmill, watch your favorite show on your phone... and if you can't run or jog, then just keep walking! it's really hard to do something when we're just focused on the end results, that's why a lot of diet and workout plans fail. make your exercise personalized so you'll really feel like you're doing it for yourself :)

Ik this was posted a year ago but same honestly. That’s why I refuse to go to a gym.. at least a gym where kids from my grade or kids similar in my age are at and why I refuse to workout or run outside or even near my family. I have a treadmill in my room so I’ll run on it but the only problem is that it’s so loud and beeps so that everyone can hear😭 I’m eating way healthier, focusing on getting protein, potassium, vitamins and electrolytes by myself, I’m drinking a gallon of water a day and I’m working out in the comfort of my room now Tbh just stick to home/ room workouts until you feel confident enough to go outside bc that’s what I’m going to do!!

Starting out is nothing but awkward and uncomfortable, but it gets better. Last month I was depressed because I was so out of shape, had no energy, and both my BP and resting pulse rate were way too high. This month I’m making improvements in all those areas, 😢just from exercise. Whatever noise my exercise makes is joyful; it’s what progress sounds like. Don’t compare your journey with anyone else’s, especially when you’re just starting out. Just keep moving!

Maikol Rivas when I said “ ugly “ it was in reference to being out of shape and transitioning into working out . Going from “0 to 100 “ and feeling ashamed to work out in front of people.

[@jasonolson7966]

As an experienced runner, I'd like to offer some modifications to your exercise routine! 1. focus more on time rather than distance for starters. 10 to 20 minutes is great! 2. time how long you can run without walking and purposefully attempt to increase that time a little bit at a time. 3. research running shoes that can work for you. everyone is different, and you likely need special shoes that won't give you blisters, arch pain, and even alleviate joint pain. 4. you'll like this one! do not run every day of the week! try doing 5 to 6 days a week. the body needs time to recover and grow stronger. Maybe do 3 days in a row and then take a day off? 5. this one is harder, but try to run outside as much as you can! 6. listen to your body. certain pain can be good like normal muscle soreness, but joint pain, arch pain, and shin pain is common and could mean you are injuring yourself. if the pain doesn't go away after a few runs or it gets worse, stop running and seek professional opinions before continuing (but you don't have to stop exercise: there are plenty of alternatives to running!) 7. get a friend! you said so yourself, it's easier to do something terrible with friends lol. an exercise buddy is absolutely imperative to long term motivation. 8. have fun with it, and try to force a positive attitude even when you feel miserable. way easier said than done hope these tips are helpful and not too long! good luck with your exercising venture!

I read about a long distance runner who had this great tip: When you're learning to run you should walk/jog at a pace so that you can still keep a conversation. So basically if you feel like you can't talk, slow down! As you gain statima and get more fit, you can run faster while still being able to talk, so basically that can be what sets a healthy pace as a beginner and when you're advanced

What fasting schedule did you use? I find 16/8 easy, but doesn't do much for weight loss. I'm going to try 18/6 or 20/4 and see what happens. I'm 57 and have lost 43 pounds in the last 10 months(I started at 297), but have hit a plateau now. I have a bad ticker and a pacemaker, so I can't go crazy exercising. I walk a couple miles every weekday morning but can't really do anything more intense than that. I can walk farther, but don't have the time in the morning. Sometimes we do a little more on the weekends. Still have another 75ish more pounds to go. I would love to get there by the middle of 2022, so my goals are doable, but progress seems to be at pretty much a standstill right now.

[@skyxstl6653]

Advice (if you want it): Try to associate running with good emotions, as opposed to negative emotions, it helps a LOT with motivation. Example: instead of thinking "i want to run to lose weight and change my body", try linking it to something like "I've had a rough day so im going to put on feel good music and run for a mile" Eventually if u stick with that your mind will link running with positive emotions, instead of negative "ugh i dont rly want to but im forcing myself to" feelings. It will turn into a natural response. I saw this in a video somewhere and it honestly helped me A LOT (this can also work with basically anything that you're trying to do)

How much have you lost ?

[@dancerox21]

Biggest tip for running: start. slow. The first pace you start off at shouldn’t feel like you’re pushing yourself AT ALL. If anything, it should feel annoyingly slow. Trust me-the difference of even half a mile per hour makes ALL the difference when it comes to keeping a consistent pace over longer distances.

[@1992ilikepie]

People don’t realize how important this is, glad you mentioned it. It’s way more about teaching your body that you can sustain that level of activity. Pushing at all is pushing too hard at first, you just make it daunting.

Dear lady... what you have is friction rashes! Well experienced by many of us plus sized ladies, under the tummy, etc. It is skin cells rubbing against skin cells. Seriously get yourself some zinc creme (baby diaper rash creme) and after a shower spread a thin layer over the entire area that has redness. Do this maybe twice a day and repeat the next morning after a shower. The rash will disappear in 2-3 days. I routinely add the zinc creme after all showers to avoid skin friction. Love your videos, your open and honest approach. Best wishes.
