    I haven't nailed down a set exercise routine because I get bored. I have all kinds of stuff to do becase of that. I have DVD's, yoga mat, the Wii and Wii Fit, running gear and cycling gear, and oh yes my punching bag! I just need to start USING it all!!

    Oh all the Couch to5K users, I found a free podcast on itunes. The one I have is called Running Mate. There's a podcast for each stage, and each podcast is the complete workout. You just hir play and go! There's music, and someone comes on and tells you when to switch, and he give encouragement throughout the podcast as well.

    I tried unning but my knees woun't take it right now. I need the get some weight off before I try it again.

    I'm in! I want to look great in my wedding dress, which I am wearing in October.. Want to lose about 40-50lbs. Going to take some work, but with the support system of mfp, I can do it. :)

    Sounds like me!! Getting married September 18th and I want to lose about 35 lbs by then. More would be great but 30 pounds I feel like is a must.

    Wow! So much going on in the past couple of days! Wish I could access the forums from my iphone app!

    Does anyone have a job where you stand most of the day? I feel I'm having trouble getting my exercise in on days I work. I walked a little over 2 miles yesterday before work, and was exhausted the whole time I was at work. I definitely don't feel like a workout by the time I get home either... I dunno what to do!


    Feel free to add me!

    I'm starting to lose some from there as well. I've always heard that's one of the first things to go since it's all fatty tissue in that area. My tummy is going very slowly... I wish that part would go faster! lol

    I am in with everyone!!
    I hope to make some friends here as well as some motivational support! I know we can all do it!
    I am well on my way - first week down - many more to go but I have started diets before and failed - I refuse to give up on this one! I am so thankful that I found a community where I can track everything and meet new people.

    Good luck to everyone!

    I would love to join in! I have about 60 + pounds I would like to lose. I started my weight loss journey in December after my son was born late November. Today I have lost 41.5 pounds. I just joined MFP yesterday and so far love this site! I don't have much support in my life as far as fitness and weight loss goes so this site will be a huge tool and motivator for me!

    I'm in too! I don't even know if I am doing this right. I have never posted to a BB i am two weeks new to this program. Have not eaten this much in years Am trying to eat as close to my allotment according to the program. I need to loose 60lbs but immediate goal is to get below 200 soon. When am I going to start seeing results? I am very uncomfortable physically and mentally with eating this much. Also where can I read about how the program works. I can't find any FAQ's that address my issues.

    I am so game!! I'm glad to read that there are so many like me on here!! I have over 75lbs to get to my ideal goal weight, but ideally I have 50lbs to get to my pre-pregnancy weight! Gotta love having kids and not losing that weight!!! I am also thrilled that there are people on here that need as much motivation as I do to actually do something!! I too need as much motivation as I can get to do something about this!! I've been trying for a week now due to having my son 6 weeks ago, now it's my turn to get going and get me back!!!

    Add me as a friend, I could us the great motivators and be one too! :O)

    Count me in too! I have at least 50 lbs to lose and can use all the help I can get. I say at least 50 lbs because that's my goal, but if I lose more, it's a bonus!

    I've just started this journey but am determined to be successful at it.

    The only downside is that by the end of the programme I'm supposed to do 5k (3 miles) in a half hour. I'm nowhere near as fast as this, more like 40mins. I'm not too bothered by my time at the moment, will jut build it up.

    Indeed you will. The forums over at Couch to 5K (http://c25k.cze.dk/index.php) have TONS of threads that address running for time versus distance and feedback from people that experience the same thing as you!

    I've heard that 1-2 pounds a week is average, and anything more than that, it's easier to put the weight back on... not sure if that's totally true or not though. I know I've been happy with that amount every week!

    I've also heard this is average 1-2 pounds per week. Some weeks I've lost more but when I lose at this rate, my weight doesn't tend to come back on as fast if I suddenly eat something I shouldn't.

    So this will be more than just a "bump" post.

    I've noticed since I've moved to Cali, where I walk more just to get around that I have to work harder to lose weight. My body's mostly adjusted to me walking an average of 10 miles a week (and that's probably a lowball average, I know for a fact I walked at least 15 week because I had to go to SF) that working out 30 minutes here and there just won't cut it. So I'm trying to do cardio for 60 minutes at least 5x a week. Which I gotta tell ya, the adjustment periods been hard. I still am tired when I come home at the end of the day especially when I'm in a hilly area. Not like "end of a workout tired" but just a regular tired. I've been doing Leslie Sansone's Walk off the pounds on the days I have go out a lot since it's relatively low impact.
