Currently you have 3 days that you are not burning any ADDITIONAL calories! How long do you workout on the treadmill?
Well for the past while I really haven't been working out like I should. I've been lucky lately to get 2 days in per week. I am sure I can try to up it to 5! I've done it before and I can do it again! I work out about 30 to 45 minutes at a time.britnaii22 wrote: »darklilly45 wrote: »britnaii22, I'll start the C25K program with you this week!

I really don't know much about the C25K, but I would love to try to join in with you guys! Is there an app for this?0 -

Yes thee is a C25K app that you can download from your playstore! I didn't like the original one...i just needed a simple app that would let me play my motivational music, and tell me when to jog, so i downloaded the RunDouble app...it does the same thing, and it's also FREE0

Hi yes the C25K is an app for training for a 5K. I've signed myself up for three 5K's this summer so I've really got to get in shape and be able to run them. The app is really cool though, it's 3 days a week (your choice on days) and it will interrupt your music to let you know when to start running, and when to start walking again. It's really easy to use and the version I downloaded is free too

These ppl had to REALLY want change! I can only imagine their determination! They had to put in endless hours, days, & months....BUT LOOK AT THEIR RESULTS! Amazing!!!!!
I truly believe that we can also be submitting our weight loss success story soon as well!
Let's also make up our minds to be DETERMINED to change our lives around for the better....NO EXCUSES ALLOWED! Let's love OURSELVES enough to do it for SELF!0 -
Are we going to have different challenges every week or just (not that it's just a just) weightloss? 0
-
I am not sure...they have not said yet! As for me, i plan to let each teammate do their own exercise plan, but will help motivate them to increase their workouts days, duration, and calories burned, plus encourage better eating habits to ensure proper weight loss!
Any suggestions will considered!0 -
I would like to know what everyone thinks about strength training! For some ppl, it delays their progress (as in lowering the # on the scale), for others it may not be an issue!
Strength training/Weight training will help you get the weight off after weeks of training, and it will most certainly help you lose inches!
BUT....we need to see the scale DECREASE each week in order to win this challenge, so therefore I AM THINKING that strength training may not be the best idea during THIS challenge, being that it is a WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE!
If they were charting our measurements, i think it wouldn't matter, but they are not...ONLY WEIGHT LOSS....what do you think???0 -
I would agree that strength training won't help the scale number go down. On the other hand, it does extra duty in burning fat. I'm guessing moderation is the key. I would only use weights once a week with 90% of my exercise for the week being cardio.0

That 's good advice strength_76! I may do that myself! Thanks for sharing!0

hi guys my name is nick 28 from AZ. I'm really excited to start this. I could really use help on meal prep and some recipes that are good. I'm really trying to get back into the fitness life. GO TEAM!!0

Hello all, I am Angel and currently a very fat one (weighing 208 lbs). So, I want to become a thin one because of the number of health issues including but not limited to PCOS, Diabetes, Angina, Migraine, Acid Reflux, etc. And yes I am officially allergic to exercise, I recently learnt that. I get hives if I brisk walk/run.
I am one big sad story but I am a very happy person. I keep myself stress-free with Yoga and Meditation. But hell I need to lose weight. None of my clothes fit and I hate it when people say "Oh you look so cute" or that "your dress is pretty". I am 35, and I should not look cute, right.
So I want people saying "Oh You look sooo hot in that dress" by New Year.

Hi Nick! Welcome to the team! My best advice to you about meal prep is to plan your meals AHEAD OF TIME! This has been a blessing for me! Before i started planning my meals, i would overeat, which would mess up my macros! I have a note on top of my keyboard to remind me to plan my meals for the entire day. This way i stay within my macros, and stick to my nutritional plans set for myself!
Also for Recipes, I love Linda's Low Carbs Menus and Recipes...here is the link, check it out!

Nick...Please don't forget to submit your starting weight TODAY so that you wont be dropped from the challenge.
Also, I need to know which day of the week you will be weighing in on each week!
Some ppl from other groups have switched days, so i don;t wanna assume that it will be on Fridays!
You can copy and paste the info below to your next post!

It's April 1st Everyone...Are you ready? Let's really win this challenge!!!
I need EVERYONE to be in 100% Participation for the next 30 days. This month is gonna help to kick-start your weight loss in a big way, but you must stay FOCUSED, COMMITTED, and MOTIVATED!
Prepare yourself for the hardest month that you may have ever had! When it gets tough PUSH-THROUGH IT! When the workout is over, you will be glad that you did!
Remember that you have TEAMMATES, WE ARE HERE TO HELP! Plz try your best to check in DAILY, so that we can help you stay on track!
The key to winning this challenge will be for us to WORK AS A TEAM! There will be teammates that will struggle, not be motivated, or just simply hit a plateau...plz suggest ideas that may be of some help. Nothing you say will be dismissed!
*** I still have a few ppl who have NOT submitted their starting weight! I will be sending out reminders if not entered by 5pm EST!
Teammates it will be very important to weigh-in on your SPECIFIC weigh-in day EVERY WEEK! If you fail to weigh in, your weight will be entered as ZERO, even if you lose weight! Two consecutive weeks w/o a weigh-in will cause you to be DROPPED from the challenge! So plz everyone set yourself a reminder to weigh in ON TIME!
If you forget i will send you a reminder message to your inbox, so plzzz make sure you log-in to MFP daily for the next 30 days.
Let's get moving everyone! LET'S DO THIS!!!
Thank you team!!!!
Woooohoooo...Team THIN IT TO WIN IT!!!!
