Yay, I made my goal this morning. Hit 143.2 for the 6lb loss. Just have to keep it steady for 2 more days now. Planning to do strength today...maybe an hour or so and then finish with yoga.

Finished my stairs late this afternoon with final 240. No problems with Challenge 3; I don't snack at night.

Yay, I did my run/walk today with no problems and it felt great. Now I know that next week's increase to 10 minutes is something I can handle. Today's totals: 38 minute run/walk, 7 minutes stairs, and 15 minutes yoga for 60 total. Almost forgot...my weigh-in this morning was 143.4 so I'm .2 from my goal. Looks like I'm…

Sometimes willpower just fades and the only thing you can do is just go with it until you get your mojo back. You can do this!

Weighed myself this morning and I'm a tad over the 20lb mark. Hope it holds true for the Sunday weigh-in.

All depends on how you're feeling, but if you think the 20 is too much then go with your 1st plan. I felt like the 20 was just too big of a jump for me so I started an alternative plan which builds far more slowly. The C25k plan had me running 20 last Friday on the 21st whereas with my new plan I don't run it until 11/28.…

I'm 60 and exercise 6 days per week for an hour minimum per day. Started running from scratch in September on a Couch to 5k-like program Runs are MWF. Either do a little more cardio following my run or finish up with 1/2 hour of yoga. TThS are my strength days. I started with body resistance exercises in August but just…

At 540 steps. Should finish the rest tomorrow.

Oh my gosh, Aliem! What a splurge you had....well, it will all even out and maybe you'll still be close to your goal if you have a good weekend. But that muscle soreness may get you, though...now that I think of it. Hope you enjoy the barre class tonight! Sounds great. I was down 2 lbs this morning from yesterday but i…

I've heard that the best quality sleep is without any electronics in the room, particularly without tv running in the background. Don't know if there's any science to this, however.

Aliem: the gym sounds fantastic for you. So much variety plus doing your weights, too. Did you join last night? 68 minute workout today: 28 minute run/walk, 10 minutes up and down stairs, and 30 minutes of yoga. Lost a tad this am...at 144.2 now. Means I need to lose a lb exactly to meet goal next Monday. It's possible but…

Just started the stair challenge. I have 4 steps to my front door so did a lot of repeats to get to 240. At least I'm on my way.

Aliem: congrats on your weight loss! Headed in the right direction once more. Gym sounds good. What classes are you planning to take besides yoga? Will you be doing cardio and weights there as well? Well, I'm back down 1.5lbs. The 1st time I got on the scale it showed 3lbs, but then I weighed myself a 2nd time and it went…

When I evacuated from my home in SC to Charlotte, NC due to Hurricane Matthew I took my bathroom scale with me. Have various weigh-ins with different MFP groups so I wanted it with me.

Aliem: food may be off a little, but at least you got your workout in! Yay you! Weighed myself this morning and I'm up 3lbs from the 21st. Don't know why unless it's water weight from muscle soreness and the pizza I had Friday night. Hopefully it will go down again shortly. 10/24 workout: 30 minutes run/ walk, 34 minutes…

Hi all! I'm Rinde, an addition from the wait list. Great to join the team! I live in the Lowcountry of South Carolina between Savannah and Charleston. (No damage from Hurricane Matthew.) and not too far from @Fitbug92. I'm working on adding you all so look out for my friend request.

I currently run MWF for a half hour to 40 minutes and then practice yoga for 30 minutes following my run. On TThS I lift for 45 minutes to an hour and cool down with 15 to 20 minutes of yoga. Sunday's my rest day and either I don't exercise at all or do a little yoga to stretch and relax. I often throw in another cardio on…

Rest day for me. Maybe some yoga but that's it.

Yippee, I had my weightlifting workout with my trainer and had fun! Good overall workout for beginner plus some focus on improving my posture which I'm really happy about. Then 30 minutes of cardio dance and 15 minutes of yoga. Big day for me!

Most important thing is to have fun!

Fantastic job! So happy for you! I'm starting my new weight workout this afternoon with trainer. Then I'll be doing some cardio and yoga to finish the day. Enjoy!

Whoopee! My weight bar arrived this afternoon! I knew it weighed 45lbs, but the darn thing is also 7 ft long. It's huge as well as heavy! I'm definitely gonna get stronger with my new set-up. Can't wait to get started. 60 minutes today: 30 minutes run/walk and 30 minutes yoga. My running portion increased today to 12…

Great job on getting it done!

Wow, I know it's hard work, but it sure looks like fun! Beautiful!

Aliem: keep up the good work and you'll get there! You may be slightly off your schedule, but look at all the weight you've lost and the transformation you've made. I always have to remind myself that the goals I set are great, but if I don't meet them I can't let it diminish all my other accomplishments. Another 60…

Fantastic! I'm in my 5th week of a run/walk program after a 30 year absence from running.

Today's workout: 28 minutes run/walk and 35 minutes yoga. Per the coach's suggestion, I paid more attention to keeping my running intervals at a consistent easy pace. For 4/5 I ran between 10:58 and 11:14: didn't hear the time for other interval. So pretty good. Covered 2.01 miles for 10 minutes of running and 18 minutes…

Fantastic, Becs!

Tuesday workout: 37 minutes aerobic dance, 16 minutes body resistance, and 20 minutes of yoga for 73 minutes total. I had to really push myself to get started this morning, but I finally got it together and got it done. Bonus: weighed 145.6 this morning. This afternoon the running and strength coach came over to my house…

I decided to change my direction somewhat. I went online last week and purchased a 20 Week training program from a running coach. It slows down the running intervals a bit so I won't be running the 20 minutes this Friday after all. Frankly, I'm relieved. I certainly didn't feel ready for the 20 and prefer the more gradual…
