Hello everyone!! I'm new to the Wii Fit Team! I got the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and have been working out on it since the beginning of January! I usually try and get on the Wii 3-4 times per week for an hour and then some days I run outside if weather permits. Question for those using the Wii Fit Plus game....how do I…

So does the interference mess up the calorie calculator or anything else?? I'm usually working out alone or at a gym full of college students so I doubt many of them even have an HRM. I'm a little confused about the interference??

Polar HRM are having a sale on their products and I'm trying to decide between the F6 and the F4. What are the main differences?? Also, if I got the F6 what is the interference thing they are talking about?? Help please!! FYI the sale is through Friday and includes free overnight shipping!

Well I haven't signed up for a 5k yet, but our school does one in April, so I will be doing that! I'm not quite sure when I will hit the 3k mark during the weeks...I'm kinda having to change it up for myself...so maybe in a week or so....

So I have been working on the couch to 5k plan doing well until week 6 hit! It has been hard to get past the first day on week 6, but today I ran a full mile without stopping! :)

Well some days I feel my clothes are looser, but who knows! I took a few measurements but I never know if I am measuring in the exact same place!

Well I repeated Day 1 of week 6 and I was able to complete it!! I did it on a treadmill today and it seems that I can always finish what i'm supposed to do on a treamill rather than running outside or on a track....weird!

I am using the couch to 5k plan from http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml This is a 9 week program. The program says to to the plan 3 times per week, but I also increased it to 4 or 5 times per week to increase my stamina. It is just this week that it was super hard for me to stick to the plan. I am going to…

Well I weighed myself this morning and I had lost some more weight! So now I have lost 3 lbs!!

So yesterday I did the first workout of week 6 on the couch to 5k plan. It was a little rough.... I was supposed to warm up then run 5 min, walk 3 min, run 8 min, walk3 min, and then run 5 min. The 8 minute run was too much for me so I split it up into 5 and 3 minute runs. I'm a little worried cause the next workout is…

Well I am drinking about 60-65 ounces of water per day...sometimes a lot more.

So I have been at this for about 6 weeks now and I have only lost about 2-3 lbs. Granted I wasn't perfect during the holidays but I still managed to work out. I am doing the couch to 5k running program and I am on week 5 of it. I am also doing strength training a couple times per week. The majority of days I stay within my…

I am on week 4 of couch to 5K. I have ran on and off for the past 8 years but I had not been running a whole lot before I started. The first couple of weeks weren't too bad. I am feeling better and better as I continue to run longer. You can do it!! There have been a couple of days were I just don't feel like running or…

While doing a bootcamp this summer this happened to me also. The only thing I was eating beforehand was a granola bar because it was way to early in the morning for me to want to eat. The trainer had said I am probably eating the wrong thing, but he also said to try and not eat before working out and if I got dizzy to…

Hey everyone! Today is starting my third week using fitness pal. I have lost 2 lbs since I started which is good....but I've been reading how some of you lost a lot the first week or so. Am I doing something wrong? I'm watching my calories and exercising about 4-5 times per week doing the couch to 5k plan. I'm also eating…

Thanks for the info. Pixie I see you have lost 14 lbs...CONGRATS. Are you only doing the couch to 5K plan for workouts?

Is it okay to do the plan 5 days per week?? I feel like I need to work out everyday and I really like walking/running outside for now. I have looked into doing other workouts on DVD or something...but we don't have much room around the TVs to do much working out. Also, I have started bringing my fiance along, which is…

Congrats!! I have just started too and I waiting to see the results on the scale!!

Where can I get a HRM? And what kind is the best?

So after reading everyone's thoughts on this I decided to start the couch to 5K plan. I have been jogging/walking for the past few weeks and was able to run for about 7 minutes, so I thought the first week would be a breeze....but I did the first day of the first week and it was harder than I thought, but I did it!! I…

What type of exercise are you doing to lose weight? I have started walking/jogging for about 50-60 minutes this week, today will be my fourth day to do that. I see you have lost about 10 pounds. Congrats!

Hello! I'm new to the website. I'm trying to lose at least 30 pounds before my wedding in August. I like the website and it seems easy to log foods and exercises. One question though...should I eat the calories that I burn from exercising or will that just slow down the weight loss??
