I'm 5'3, 48 and weigh 208 lbs. (ugh). I am wondering what your settings/calories goals are set at. I know everyone is different, but I'm curious about what works for you. Also, if you have a fitbit, do you eat back your exercise calories? I play around with my settings way to often. I know that I need to stick with a good…

Welcome, @cocoajax16!

@skinnyjeanzbound - thanks for the recipe. I will give it a go! I did the first video of the foot massage last night. I found it to be quite interesting. I think it might be nice to book a real reflexology appt one of these days. That's what I love about this Race - trying different things.

I'm ready, as well - I <3 kickboxing, jessica smith and dancing! Yesterday I went to a different grocery store, (killing time while my kidlet was at practice) and picked up "Casbah Ready to Eat Rainbow Quinoa". It's a new item, or at least I've never seen it before. I have tried quinoa in the past (at a potluck & not a…

Glad you are feeling better, @summ72! @PompPanda - let us know how you like the scale. I completed the 5/5 days of logging and under calorie! Woo hoo!

Yesterday was a great day all around! Finished the stair challenge, ate well, got in a good ab workout and went for a walk. Saved the best part for last...played a bit of guitar with one of the old bandmates! I can still meet the 5 days of logging if I stay under today, and remember to post before the cut off time. @BJerzy…

Well, yesterday was a write-off. Had great intentions, but alas...the couch and the pantry were stronger than I. Today is a new day...

It's Friday!!! :) :) :) @summ72 - feel better soon! @TangledThread - enjoy your visit with your family! Sound like it will be a great weekend! @EternalTruth - way to go!! @change04 - that pic is exactly how I felt about this week! So glad it is over! I think I have to focus on the climb challenge today - not even halfway…

I've been busy this week, so just catching up on the thread. I am finished the videos, not very far on the stairs challenge and I was over yesterday,(actually didn't even log...we were at a work function) so 2/5 on logging. Yikes! I've got my work cut out for me! QOD - having coffee on the dock at our cabin, early in the…

Morning Team, We rock - we made it! @Dictorbutt - wow! Way to go! Feel better soon! @sandkp - think of all the time on your hands once college starts! @PompPanda - I have the fitbit charge HR. It was working really good for months, but then it's been wonky this past week. For example - it said I did 19 floors of stairs…

Morning everyone. I finished 3rd Challenge - 5/5 days of logging and under - and I survived! I love that challenge because it proves to me that I CAN do it. ;) Heading out for a walk this morning to finish up the 5K/3mile challenge. Something I would like to do - I learned to play the guitar when I was 40. Took lessons for…

So happy it's friday!! Love the pic, @change04!! @EternalTruth - my healthy choices would be raspberries, steak, peppers (any colour but green), grape tomatoes, and cheese. Have a great day!

Morning Team, For those who are not well this week, hope you all feel better soon! For those that are on the mend, woo hoo! Yes, we have a way to go before getting to the finish line, but I know we can do this! I've been following @alipsie19's lead and doing some sort of workout in the morning. I do just a mini one, 10-15…

@EternalTruth - my daily peaceful moment is my early morning coffee, before the rest of the family gets up - wherever that may be..at home, at our cabin, on holiday somewhere... You are one week ahead of me on C25K. I did wk3 day 1 last night. Let's motivate each other. I don't have a deadline to finish - 8 or 9 weeks…

@shauna30 - I don't have a go to healthy snack. Part of my problem! I did have an apple last night! As @summ72 said - just need to go for that more frequently. @TangledThread - This isn't my first rodeo with c25k or any other running program for that matter. I've had a love/hate relationship with running throughout my…

Morning, Looks like we have a little longer to go this week. We can do it!! I'm happy about the logging challenge - 5/7 days is doable - the weekends are my downfall. @shauna30 - Ringette is an ice sport, kinda like hockey, but not. LOL! It uses a ring instead of a puck and the sticks don't have the blade on it, it's just…

Hey team! We made it! Awesome! I will get some exercise in today, have to finish up week 2 of C25K. It was a very busy week for me, we had 6 ringette games, a birthday out of town, and a retirement at work (special meals and events with that). I am sure looking forward to this upcoming week as my kids have exams. That…

I didn't get any minutes in yesterday, and today will be tricky, as will tomorrow. I am travelling, so I try and get some short walks in when I can. Sorry guys - just one of those weeks. Welcome back, @Dictorbutt! ooh, I haven't answered the questions of the day yet either...exercise I'd like to try - surfing. But…

FYI- just noticed you can't put your points in for the oranges until thursday!

Morning Folks, Done all 3 Challenges. Yay! @bloveless - 24 grand children!! Wow! That's wonderful!! Welcome! Good to hear from you, @skinnyjeanzbound and @Cheriels82!

Morning everyone! I finished Challenge #2 yesterday. I even did a bit of the optional Happy Dance (I think it was called). I repeated the 2nd video - an attempt to redeem myself in trying to follow along - didn't really help! LOL! @DawnBe1 - I checked out the RaceAdventure...sounds like a lot of fun! I am starting to run…

Nice to meet all of the new racers and reconnect with returning Team 3's! This week is 5000 miles, so we should be able to meet easily with 20 team members. 250 minutes/person for the week. We got this, team3!!! I did videos 1,2,& 3 yesterday and whoa - my arms felt it! Did not expect that! That was all I had time to do…

1. NAME: 2. FAVORITE WAY TO EXERCISE: 3. WHERE YOU ARE FROM (TOWN/STATE/PROVINCE) AND 4. ONE OR TWO SENTENCES DESCRIBING WHERE YOU LIVE (PICTURES ARE FUN, BUT NOT A REQUIREMENT) Hey Team 3!! Hello to our returning teammates and a big welcome to our new players! This is a a great group to be a part of, I think this is my…

I worked out sunday and monday, AND, I logged yesterday and stayed under! Other teams...better watch out! :p Have a great day, team!

I have not been consistent at all. *sigh* Came back from vacation, started work again and just can't seem to find the will to start again. I took my fitbit off while on vacay. Put it back on yesterday...that's a start!! Using this week to get into a routine again before the race.

Signed up!! Woo hoo!

OMG!!! I'm so happy!!! Thank you, @hawkins410!!!!!

We are leaving for a vacay south soon. I tried on my "summer" clothes, including bathing suits. Man, I have put on some weight. I feel like the two weeks off of exercise and logging has put 10 lbs on my body. (I'm not weighing myself, that would probably put me over the edge). I did shovel yesterday and I got on the…

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a nice Christmas! Missed this thread and all of you! Let's try and keep it going. I have done 0 exercise since the race ended. Must get back on track! You guys help! Today I will be shovelling the front porch, and trust me, it will be a workout! We had lots of snow fall lately! Have a great…

I've read about going on low dose birth control pills to help with symptoms such as heavy periods and cramps, bloating?
