W5 D1 is done!! I slowed down a little bit (9:15, 9:25 and 9:35 splits) and felt great. Thanks all for the encouragement!

Hi there. I'm on Week 4, Day 3. I'm running the timed version and average a 9 min mile. I haven't been able to finish the last 5 minute interval all 3 tries. I slow to a walk twice for about 20 seconds each time. Should I just move on to Week 5? Intervals 1-3 are fine. I'm thinking it may be the quick turn around before…

5'3, 36yrs old. 15 lbs to lose, 1510 cals/day and don't eat back exercise calories

I'm not signed up for any races, but I'm doing the C25K program. I really like it. It's a free app on Android. I assume it's free for iPhones too.

I lost the first 35 lbs without logging at all. Because I'm 10-15lbs away from my goal weight, I log everything now. At most, logging and measuring should take 5-10 minutes/day. I can handle that if it gets me to my goal!

I'm pretty close to 40-30-30. It forces me to eat protein. Otherwise, I'd just live on pasta alone. lol

I'd like to get into the mid 120's and evaluate from there. I'm only 5'3, so every 5 lbs makes a huge difference, but super difficult to get and keep off.

Love my flip belt! And, now they have water bottles that fit with them too. I haven't bought one yet, but will this summer.

Yep, last night. I logged it. Too embarrassed to look now, but it's done and I need to move on. At least all of my trigger foods are gone now. lol

I'm 36 and 5'3. Starting weight: 138.4 April 4: 136.6 April 11: 136 April 18 April 25: Goal for April 30: 131.4

I have at least 4 Champion sports bras. Love them. You can get them on Amazon for around $30.

36, looking to lose 10-15lbs. Add me!

Below is a link to a good blog about how we view food now. I'm guilty of it, but am working hard to change my view of it, and enjoy pizza, or any other "non-diet" food when I have it. Just keep it within your calorie allowance (or within reason), and you'll be fine.…

Come to Michigan. It's snowing here!

I do the same thing. Especially if the group wants to go to a non-chain restaurant. How am I going to count calories? What should I get? How is it cooked? I keep needing to remind myself that healthy eating is a part of my life, but it shouldn't run or dictate it. Easier said than done! This is what I plan on doing now...…

I've seen it and wondered what people thought. Are you still using it? You don't need any free weights, right?

My diary is open. I vary between 1350-1450 most days. Feel free to add me!

Ha! I like the bits of raisin in them. And, really, what could lack more flavor than plain white toast?!?! I just spray a couple sprays of I can't believe it's not butter, toast it and enjoy :)

These Ozery muesli rounds are AMAZING! I get them at Whole Foods. If you're looking for something a little more than you're typical white/wheat toast, this is great.

That's great! I am off to a fast start as well, but trying to be realistic as it won't come off this easy forever. There will be great, 3lbs loss weeks and probably weeks that you won't lose anything. We just have to remember it's a journey and to stick with it!

Anyone who thinks whole foods/food groups such as fruits or grains should be eliminated, but it's ok to have a pound of bacon with your 6 scrambled cheesy eggs. Sorry, Atkins fans! It's about moderation and CICO for those of us that are just looking to be healthy.

Not sure if you have a Papa Romano's locally, but I will either splurge if I have a "real" pizza craving and get a mini bambino 4 slice (720 calories total), or for regular pizza cravings, I'll just get an Amy's frozen cheese pizza. Sometimes you just need good pizza and I'm never satisfied making my own.

Hi, feel free to add me. I'm in a similar position. I'm on a bit of a roll now, but will probably need support myself pretty soon if I hit a wall again.

I make salsa chicken quite a bit. Crockpot, chicken, salsa and Mrs. dash seasoning. I don't eat the salsa after it's cooked, but do add 3 TBSP of the salsa to my logging because it does penetrate the chicken to give it the flavor.

I did. I'm not sure why though. Maybe it will be a benefit when I have a different calories goal depending on the day. For now though, it hasn't done much for the $50

I'm looking to add friends as well. Add me!! 5'3, 137 today with a goal of 123.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but don't know how to do the calculations. I'll search for a template online.

Chicken fajitas. I buy Trader Joe's frozen fire roasted onions/peppers and just add shredded lettuce and greek yogurt. Whole wheat tortillas are good too.
