New C25K for the New Year

I'll join you!!! I started it a while back and made it to week 3. I haven't managed to make it to the gym in a few weeks now. I'm thinking of just starting over. I'm hoping that if I join a group I'll stick with it this time. I need someone to make me accountable!!!!

I'm in the same boat...so I'm in too!

When are we starting?

Hey! I'm interested!
I've already downloaded the app for my iphone and plan on starting Jan 2nd, so count me in!

I'm in, too. I've started already but I took a week off around the holidays and had to move back to Week 3 when I started again yesterday. I just consider myself 3 weeks ahead of my own schedule because originally in September I had planned starting in January. You guys will catch up to me in no time, I'm sure because I've been struggling to get past week 4 for a couple weeks now.

I'm in too! I've already downloaded it all and was going to make it my new years goal. I've never ran a day in my life, but soon will be a runner!

I'd like to do this as well. Have started it a couple different times, but never made it past week 3. I do a lot of the walk/jog intervals, so being able to complete a 5K would be a good goal. When are we starting?

Yay!! It's Kelly!!

Hey there Green Pepper! Glad to be sharing this with ya! We can do it and be in agony together!

I'm in as well! I plan to start tomorrow (January 1st). If we all start within 2 or 3 days of eachother that should be good. Are we tracking measurements and weight? I plan to measure and weigh tomorrow...

I would love to join. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I started before and than quit on like week 3.

I started on Wednesday. Plan to run again on Friday and Sunday. Hopefuly I won't be too exhausted from the party tonight to run tomorrow!

Where is the info on the C25K?

you can find some info here http://www.c25k.com/

I am going to start next week when we get back in the gym.

Im starting it on Jan 4th. Im doing it every other day and biking on the others. 5 days a week Im going to do this. Im nervous and excited. But I want to lose this weight and I thats the day Im also going to quit smoking. So I figured why not do it all at once. So Im in.

I'm in! I've done up to week three of the program but haven't manage to finish it.. decided to start over again.. I start on monday because my ipod's batteries are empty and my USB is broken.. haven't gotten to replace them and so I plan to get one during the weekends..

Here's my measurements OMG
Bust 36
Waist 36 inches
Hips 40
L arm 10 R arm 11

Start Weight 135
Goal Weight 110

hoping to finish it and run my first 5k! God bless everyone! :flowerforyou:

:ohwell: Okay, Here are my starting statistics --

SW-218
GW-170

B-47
W-41.5
H-49 :frown:

I'm going to weigh every week (on Friday) but I'm only going to measure once or twice a month.

Just did week one, day one of the program and it wasn't as bad as I thought. The first four sets of the run/walk were great and I found myself looking forward to the next run while I was in the 90 second walk. Coming back was a little harder and I REALLY had to force myself to do the last 2 sets. The final 1 1/2 minute walk and then the cool down back to my house were more like a moderate walk because I was exhausted! But I am just glad I made it through day one!
Like Kathy, I plan to weigh once a week (on Saturday) and then measure at the first of each month.

I would love to join! I am planning on starting on Monday January 4th. I use the gym at work and I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday so I am going to try to do my running on those days and do some strength training on my days off from running. I tried a program similar this past summer and didn't make it past the first week, so my goal is just to finish!! I would like to run a 5k this fall sometime would be my second goal...and of course I would love to lose some weight as I go. I am starting over with eating within my calorie limit. I am ready for a change as we roll into 2010! I am also only going to only allow myself weigh ins on monday. I seem to get obsessed with the scale and weigh myself at least twice daily, which I think is hindering my weight loss as well since I get discouraged. So only once weekly and I think Mondays will be a good day to weigh in since it will make me behave over the weekend!! Good luck everyone!!

I downloaded music from nicole, she counts down to zero when it's time to change from run/walk (http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/2008/06/couch-to-5k-podcast-page.html

I used her music as well, and it was great. I made my own mix of music, though the transition between the songs isn't pretty, so unless I get better on sound editing, I'll probably stick with premade mixes until I get to more continuous runs later on. Did day 1 of week 1 today. It was pretty painless overall, but I've also been working on pretty regulary for 2ish months now. If i'd started this right away, I would have been in serious pain (then again, I could be in pain tomorrow). Plan to do day 2 on Tues, and day 3 on Thurs with some more cardio thrown in other days.
