    Welcome to the group!
    So it would be cool if everyone introduces themselves, goals and workouts to help give other members ideas

    I could benefit from this group. It will help kickstart my goal. Hope I can help others as well!


    I am looking to loose my pregnancy weight and more. I am in desperate need of getting in better health and shape.

    I currently walk an hour at least 4 times a day, with my son in the front carrier.
    and am planning to start the couch to 5k running program next week.

    Any ideas on other exercise's for beginners?

    Good Luck to All!

    Posting my first set of results:
    Weight - 204 (I have only been on this site for one week, but it's been a week and a half since I weighed in at 210) I'm not extremely happy with that number, but only because I'm doing a weight loss competition with my wife at her place of employment and I don't like to lose.

    Measurements - Body fat % - 24.4 :mad: ; Neck - 18; Chest - 45; "Gut" - 42 :noway: ; Waist - 39.5; Bicep - 16; Thigh - 22.5; Calf - 16

    Well, that's it.

    I'd love to join in! I'm hoping to lose another 10-15, though it's coming off slowly. I am doing couch to 5K 3 times a week, and will likely add back some TurboFire on the off days.

    Please feel free to add me! Always looking to offer and receive support! :)

    I had my weight day today, not measurements.. ...... we had snow so my measurement lady was not at work!

    Current weight: 64.9 kgs / 143 pounds

    Last weigh in: 67 kgs / 147.7 pounds

    Pretty happy with this loss as its the first time i have really made a dent in the weight loss!! Only 7-8 pounds left and i will be almost at my goal weight but i would be happy with 7-8 pounds!

    How is everyone else going?

    I'm in too.

    I'm doing 30 day shred too, it's great. The arms are the killer for me. Did day 5 this morning. I was worried about fitting it in too, but decided just to get up 30minutes earlier and then you feel great for the day and already know you can eat that little bit more during the day.
    I also cycle around 25-25mins few times a week and have a 15-20 min walk to the station 2x a day.
    I did run for a bit, but had to stop that as I am still recovering from tendon surgery. But I think I want to do C25K if my physio lets me.
    Oh, and I tried Wii Fit yoga over the weekend.. a little boring, but I guess also good to do every now and then.

    I measure on wednesdays.

    You have room for 1 more? I just joined MFP yesterday, I'm actually looking for a motivation as I've working out for the past 2 weeks and instead of my weight going down it went up 1kg. :-(

    my current weight is 64kg my goal weight is 55kg, i've heard of 30 day shred only yesterday and want to try it - i'll start tonight..

    So just to get everyone started....who had a really good/ hard workout today!?? I know its kind of early, but I just finished my workout and boy, it was a killer. Today was my first day of increasing my workout routine. I ran 1/2 miles and walked 2 miles in 30 mins. Then I did some weights and crunches. Gosh I thought running the 1/2 mile was going to be dreadful, but suprisingly it wasnt and I feel confident that I may just be able to start running 4 miles a day again! Slowly but surely I will get there! :)
