~~~JUST A REMINDER~~~
Your starting weights can be submitted any time between tomorrow, Saturday, March 26 through to Friday, April 1 depending on what day you weigh in.
In order to submit your weight please go to the thread located in Announcements for the applicable week and respond with:
Your Username:
Your Team Name:
Your Current Weight:
There is currently a very long list of individuals on a waiting list that would like to participate. I was surprised on how much interest there was! I could have easily added another 5 teams but I wanted to keep the numbers low, at least for this month. As a result I ask that everyone submit their weights on or before April 1. If not received by end of day April 1 I will assume you are no longer interested in the challenge and your seat will be filled by someone else.
Good luck everyone!! Let the game begin!!!

Leslie Sansone is one of my favs!! I love her workouts especially the walk/jog one. Have you seen that one? It incorporates walking and light jogging. It's awesome.0 -

Day one was tough but I'm finding I'm really enjoying running now! Who'd a thunk it!?
I used to be a runner many years ago and loved it. A broken leg, rod & 8 screws later (not running related) I never thought I'd ever run again. The healing process, 2 pregnancies and lots of weight gain later I thought running was completely out of the question and a huge goal to take on. I am pleasantly surprised at how attainable the C25K program is!! If you're even remotely considering it, do it!!
Yay!! Glad you're liking the C25K. I'm ready for week 2...Lol.Serendipity0913 wrote: »
Leslie Sansone is fantastic for ease on joints! Good for you for looking for an alternative to spending time in the rain. Not only did you avoid the rain but you discovered another form of exercise you find enjoyable!
Agreed!!0 -

I haven't had a chance to look at them all. I will have to go through them and save my favorites.

I agree with you not all people have access to the gym.

Today's workout was 60 mins Arc Trainer / 60 mins Treadmill 3 mph winds/ incline of 6.5 plus 10 mins strength
I would like to do both challenges. Is there anyway that I could have two times for the nutrition challenge? The four nights that I work at night job I am serving dinner to people instead of having dinner and usually don't get a chance to eat anything until way after when I would normally eat. I thought something like 8pm on Sun., Tues., and Fri. and 9:30pm the rest of the week.0 -

C25K W1D3 completed! I'm debating as to whether I should just do week 1 again instead of moving to week 2, I've never really been a runner and it's been a struggle. It would be nice to be able to complete the session without getting a stitch before moving to a harder workout lol!0

I near died on day 1. Day 2 was trial and error and day 3 was a success and I actually enjoyed it.
I found I was focusing too much on speed instead of endurance and and as a result was tiring myself out too quickly which made it near imposible to finish. On day 2 I did a stretching session and a 15 minute walk BEFORE my C25K warmup. For me the 5 minute warm up embedded in the C25K program wasn't enough to get me warmed up. Because I focused more on endurance than speed I lowered my speed dramatically until I found a sweetspot that I could jog comfortably without feeling like I was going to hyperventilate while trying to catch my breath.
On day 3 I did my stretching session, followed by a 15 minute walk and then I started my 5 minute warm up in the C25K program and completed the program with the speeds I knew I could work with. I completed the program winded but under control.
For me personally the C25K program is not a running program and it won't be until I build up my endurance. It's a jogging program for now. Once I can do that I'll slowing increase my speeds until it becomes a running program I can endure.
Maybe if you tweak the program and add more stretching, warm up, slower speeds, etc you'll find the stitches will go away. If you're like me, just the movement alone is shocking my body. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not a runner yet....but I will be! Good luck :-)0 -

Lol...day 2 was the worst for me. But when I did day 3, I found myself wanting to do it a second time...:) I agree 100% that you must focus more on endurance than speed at first. The speed will come eventually.
@IAmALeaf...I think it would be wise for you to repeat week 1 before moving on. Work at your own pace and tweak it as you see fit. I might have to do that down the road too...Lol.
@Serendipity...Wow I'm amazed at the amount of interest in this challenge. That's awesome!! If you need help with anything, just let me know. I appreciate you starting this challenge. It's so well organized. I'm here if you need me. 0 -

Hi All,
I have been pleasantly surprised and very shocked at the number of people that have expressed interest in our challenge. I really dislike turning people away, especially if they are trying to better themselves by reaching out for support in helping themselves achieve health goals.
At this moment I have over 100 people on our waiting list. As a result I have created 3 more teams! This won't place them all but at least it will help 45 of them.
Because we've grown so much I am looking for a Team Captain for each team. This person should be someone that is 100% committed to not only their own success but each and every team member on the team. This must be someone that logs in DAILY.
I'll be looking to the Team Captains to ensure everyone on your team has submitted their weekly weigh-ins on or before Friday of every week. If there is a team member that is falling off the wagon, I'll be looking to you to encourage them to continue both for their own benefit as well as the team's overall weekly standing. This may require a personal message to them of encouragement or maybe just a reminder that they haven't submitted yet.
If this sounds like something you'd like to do let me know ASAP. I'd like to have Team Captains selected prior to our April 1 start date.0 -
