Yes definately try it! It burns tons of calories if you get into it. Like it was mentioned above try a live class! That truly if my fav, but I love to dance. I have a friend who doesn't think she has rhythm, so she loves the videos and games at home so she doesn't feel embarrassed. It seriously is the most fun I've had…

This is a great program! Feel free to add me if you want. I just completed W4D1 this morning and yes it was a struggle. Week 3 is tough, but don't quit. I've had to repeat several weeks. I should be on week 6, but I repeat several runs and I'm stronger for it! I don't regret it at all. I've signed up for my first 5k in…

I have a Polar HRM (don't know what model) w/ a chest strap, and I just recently bought a MIO petite. I like them both. To me it's like comparing apples and oranges. My mother bought the Polar one for me and it's great cause it will synch w/ most machines at the gym, but it doesn't give me my calories for when I do a free…

ME TOOO! I'm signing up for a 5k on Thanksgiving Day called the Turkey Trot! I'm totally here to help support you if I can ask the same of you too! I'm only in my 3rd week and I've rerun a few of the days cause they were tough for me. I'm glad I've rerun them though, I feel stronger for running them again. Monday was the…

HI! I've been doing the C25k program for about 3 weeks now, and I'm signing up for my first 5k run!? If I follow the plan to a "T" then I should be ready by October, but I haven't been good about that, so luckily the 5k isn't until Thanksgiving. My local YMCA is actually helping anyone who want to sign up with a fitness…

Thanks to all of you who posted to this message. Its been about 3 weeks and I've only lost about 4lbs give or take daily depending on what time I weigh. I know that I will have ups and downs and I'm focusing on my goals and trying to persevere through the tough days when I crave the foods that will put me over calories and…

I started a two weeks ago, I've rerun a few of the days, I didn't feel like I did it as well as I could so....Tomorrow I will attempt W2D2. Typically i do treadmill, but I do enjoy the outside when it's not too hot. I've never been a runner what-so-ever! I thought this would be a great plan to ease my way into something…

I'm totally right there with you. I struggle everyday. With just getting 1200, not to mention my work out calories. But I'm getting better. If I have a snack I try to make sure it's protein and fiber, plus whole grain calories. It keeps me full and helps me get healthy calories. Fruits, veges, healthy fats (I've fallen in…

Fajita's are always a good choice but stick to 2 tortillas and overstuff them with the onions and peppers. Whole beans are better. Refried are just that fried x2 with unhealthy fat. Also something I like to do quite often since I love mexican is what I refer to as my "fiesta" salad. It's your normal bagged iceberg salad…

Hey I don't have a great plan in place per se... but I'm similar to you in that I just joined MFP and I'm committed to working out 5 days a week and want to incorporate running with other exercise like something for my core. Currently I'm running/walking (w2d1 of couch to 5k plan) Mon Wed Fri. and on Tue Thur I try to do…

Maybe add a few carbs in but only the whole grain kind...they aren't as easily digested by your body so they don't spike a blood sugar like carbs do. Or peanut butter if you don't like the actual nut. They make many different kinds of peanut butter. Even if it's just a whole wheat slice of toast w/ nutella...

SO TRUE! I've told myself several times I'm going to do this, but now for the first time "I want this!" No excuses, no looking back it's happening!

Sure I can see how it "irks" people who have been on here awhile. But for me as a newbie I love it!. It's a friendly reminder that you did good today. You logged your food and are within your means. Better than what you were doing when you weren't accountable for your food intake. Also the " if everyday was like today"…

I see both sides of the fence since I've been on this yo-yo my whole life. If I go "cold turkey" from something I love... all that does is make the temptation that much stronger. And eventually I give in, think my diet is screwed and "fall off the wagon". It sounds like to me that is kinda what happens to you. You have to…
