Just saw this on my Facebook feed...relevant to our recent discussions: http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/10-signs-that-you-need-a-rest-day?cid=socTP_20150629_48220556&adbid=10152880205971987&adbpl=fb&adbpr=9815486986

Week 7/Day 3 done!! I had to run through some sprinklers to get it done, but I did it! Seriously though, what kind of public park runs their sprinklers at 6am when the joggers are out?!?!

Wonderful!! Great time!!

Hooray - I bet that feels good!! I'm finishing my week 7 tomorrow and am weirdly excited about it :) Rest days are a challenge (something I never thought I'd say). We adopted a kitten from the shelter yesterday so I've been entertained all day watching my 2 year old basset hound follow her around the house, trying to sniff…

My weekly fitness routine is still a work in progress, but right now I'm jogging first thing in the morning 5 times/week. The other 2 mornings (Wed, Sun) I do the elliptical for cross training (Wed) or "Gentle Hatha" yoga (Sunday, my "rest day"). In the evening, I lift weights with a trainer 2 nights/week and go to a…

Week 7/Day 2 done! I was slow but steady...a pretty smooth run without any mental "drama" :) Happy Saturday to all!!!!

@krichard08 - did you download the 10K training app yet? I *might* have....LOL!!!

Week 7/Day 1 done! Including the 5 minute warm-up, 25 minute run, and 5 minute cool-down, I covered 3 miles. So feeling a little bit better about my 5K on 8/1 :)

As you learned during your 24 hour fast, you don't respond well to food deprivation. So your response to the post-deprivation binge is to go back into deprivation mode? Sorry, I'm not following your logic. You seem to be asking for another binge.....

Great job! Keep it up!!!

I still have over 35lbs to lose, so I'd love to join as well!

Week 6/Day 3 DONE!!! I'm not going to say that it was easy, but it was certainly easier than I expected. It really is a matter of overcoming your mind....my body is definitely strong enough. It's my thoughts that say, "Hey...maybe you should stop and walk for a bit....catch your breath...." Does anyone else find themselves…

Holy crappola....I was looking at the Cool Running website and just realized that there's no more intervals for me...nothing but "long runs" for the remainder of my C25K experience. Feeling a little....nervous :/

Did Week 6/Day 2 this morning :) Tomorrow is a rest day, so looking forward to W6D3 on Thursday! My first 5K is on 8/1 and I'm already getting a little nervous about it. But I'm feeling much stronger that last month, so still lots of time for improvement. Happy Tuesday everyone :)

Did Week 6/Day 1 this a.m.....sooo hot already at 5:45am but otherwise a good run :)

I've read that people who are brand new to exercise/lifting and with a fair amount of fat to lose can build some muscle in a caloric deficit, but I don't have specific studies to cite. ETA: Agree w/what Ninkyou said :)

Ironmaiden - Thanks for the input! Funker140 - I have a Fitbit Charge HR, so I go by the calorie burn calculated by it for any cardio. When I lift (with some interspersed cardio bursts), I just log 150 cals burned since there's no great way to calculate that burn.

Sorry - I should have added that I've been doing a calorie deficit for about 3 months. I'm down a little over 30 lbs from where I started. I'm 5'3", 39 yo female who is currently at 160 lbs. Like most my size, MFP has me at 1200 cal/day but I'm usually at 1400-1600 once I eat back around 50% of exercise calories. As one…

I'm 5'3" with a goal weight of 120. I started at 191 but have been on here for almost 100 days and am now down to 159-160. I'm on here every day, so feel free to "friend" me :)

Week 5/Day 3 done!!!! I had no idea I could run for 20 minutes without stopping!!! Crazy. It really does all come down to mind over matter. As long as I cleared my mind and focused on my music and the scenery, it was far more do-able! Great way to start the weekend!!

Hey @kramrn77 - are you talking about Insane Inflatable in Victoria, TX, on 11/21? If so, a friend and I are signed up for that one :) Looks like fun!

I'm nearing 100 days in a row on here....I still have 40 lbs to lose so I'll be here for a good while :) Feel free to add me!

Inspiring work!

Sugar Land :)

Congrats to @KRPolo on your "graduation"! What a wonderful accomplishment! I just finished week 5/day 2.....already nervous about the 20 minute run coming up on day 3. Yikes!

Best of luck with your health and fitness goals :) [edited by MFP Mods]

I also mix in some banana and/or PB2 with my chocolate or vanilla protein powder. I'm pretty sure I stole that idea from someone in these forums....

I make my protein shake with coffee instead of water :) For a little pre-workout pick-me-up....
