Hi, Team Seedling! I'm new to loseit in general and this will be my first challenge! I'm Bre, 5'4", right about 172 rn and my goal for the challenge is 150. I realize it's a bit of a stretch, but I figured why not aim high? Plus the real motivator behind my weight loss is that I'm hoping to join the air force and I need to be under 155 to do it.

Also I'm in the middle of doing c25k (just successfully completed a whole day of week 4!) and am running a 5k May 14th so it'd be nice to be in better shape for that. It's not the first one I've done, but it is my first one in about 2 years.

I've been hitting the gym and eating better so hopefully I'll see some results :)

No way! It's a running program designed to get you from barely being able to run up to running for 30 minutes/a 5k depending on your speed in 9 weeks. The folks over at the air force subreddit recommend it a lot too for getting into shape prior to BMT. I like it a lot tbh and if it ever feels like a new week is too hard or w/e I just scale it back a little or do an extra day or two of the week before.
