    I'm in--I guess I will start!

    After doing my first 5K on Sunday (walked it), I did a moderate cardio routine at the gym last night. 1.27 on the elliptical and 1.88 on the treadmill. 372 calories burned.

    Looking forward to supporting all of you! :)

    Hey that's awesome! I would really like to start following a running program. I have tried but it is really mentally challenging....I really like the fact that you stayed in and finished the 5k, very inspiring.

    I don't know if I can get 6lbs in this month but I will try my hardest. My hubby and I went to the gym today and managed to burn over 1,000 calories. I can't believe it. I was really sweating icky. But I got the job done for sure.

    Thank you! I'm really focusing on my "form" when walking-I just can't seem to walk fast! So, with proper form, hopefully I can walk more quickly more easily and then eventually start running!

    I think I can do 6lbs in May. I only weigh 1x a month with my trainer--and that should be a week from Saturday.

    Tonite's workout:
    30 minute leg workout with the trainer:
    64 walking lunges
    leg curls
    squats
    leg press
    calf raises
    isometric squats
    174 calories burned

    20 min on Elliptical - 1.24 miles - 157 calories burned
    42 min on Treadmill - 2.01 miles - 241 calories burned

    Total burned: 572 :D

    I am a few weeks into the C25K program www.c25k.com/. I really like it. It's an interval program that slowly eases you into running a 5K. I highly recommend it. I also use the Podrunner podcasts so that I don't have to constantly look at my watch wondering how much longer I need to run... That used to kill me!

    Good luck!

    Awesome!

    I did 60 min of cardio at the gym tonite. I changed it up a bit and did 40 on the elliptical and 20 on the treadmill

    Did 2.72 mi and 301 calories burned on elliptical and 1 mile on the treadmill and 134 calories burned. total burned=435.

    Thank goodness for my HRM. I did the cardio workout on the elliptical--it asked me for my age, and weight--and had me as burned 600 calories! HRM read 301...the difference is crazy!

    On Wednesday I did a 20 min moderate walk with a walking dvd, this exceeded my exercise goal for the day and it exceeded my goal for calories burned during the day. And I was sweating by the end of it.

    Hey guys and gals, I would like to join this group! I need to check in daily. My name is Andrea and I am currently at 251 trying to get down to 230 and then hopefully 200. I worked out on the elliptical for 30 min today hopefully I do it again tomorrow. My problem right now is staying within my calories I am a student and tend to eat a lot on the go, any tips?

    I do the elliptical for 20mins and that thing kills me every single time. I didn't work out today or yesterday just working on getting to the gym 3x a week and then working my way up from there. We are getting trained in on the weights tomorrow or should i say today he he and then i will be going to the gym more. can't wait.

    I hope everyone is having a good weekend--I just got home from a tough workout. I feel GREAT now, but I am sure I will be paying for this later when I can't keep my eyes open. LOL

    Total calories burned: 642

    30 min intense Ab exercises with my Trainer - 185 calories
    40 min elliptical 2.76 mi - 314 calories
    20 min treadmill 1.03 mi - 143 calories.

    I weigh in next Sunday with my trainer and do measurements....I hope we see good progress! Have a nice weekend, everyone!
