I just got mine in the mail today. I'm on vacation (at home) and have a lot of running around to do so i'm not sure when I will be able to follow the calendar....but I may try out a video or two this week. Very excited to start this!!

I'm actually pretty darned slow. But I believe running is defined as any forward movement that is not walking :). I do like to call myself a runner and not a jogger...It just sounds cooler! I do walk/run intervals. Most people would say I do walk/shuffle or walk/jog intervals. I don't care what they say...I run! :)

If I had to go over on one macronutrient it would be protein. I wouldn't let that number control what you have for dinner. Just make sure it is still healthy and you are good to go!

FYI from the Hungry Girl website....also, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter ALSO does have calories. I believe it is an FDA rule that if a PER SERVING has less than 5 claoires it can be labled and 0 calories. But i don't know anyone who can spray that fast! :) If there are only trace calories in each tiny serving of…

I did the EXACT same thing a couple years ago!!! Got frustrated and quit. DON'T QUIT!! If you did 4mph and it seemed a little slow and you did 5mph but it got a bit hard when doing longer times...then my suggestion is try 4.5 mph and start week 5 over. Start it from the beginning to build your mental confidence back up…

I can only go by experience. When I was eating healthier and eating bananas, at least one everyday for either breakfast or a snack, I was becoming healthier, learning new eating habits, AND losing weight. When I quit eating the bananas and was not concerned with eating healthier for awhile I gained weight back. I'm back on…

C25K is an introduction to running program. It gradually builds you up to run for 30 mintues straight. And if you are jogging at 3mph that is fine...running has no set speed, it is what it is for YOU! I started in the same place as you and was so ticked because I couldn't find any treadmill specific music that was slower…

You have a month to prepare!

OMG...ROFLMAO...ME TOO!!!!!!

Hi all :smile: I have the original Turbo Jam dvd's and love the workouts! I am hoping to add in some of the advanced dvd's soon. I'm scoping out ebay!

If you can NOT run the full 25 minutes of intervals then you are definitely setting yourself up for failure if you try to move on to the next week of longer intervals. Seems very counter productive and useless. BECAUSE, even if you could do the 3 minute run, you STILL wont be able to do the 25 minutes of intervals! Use the…

I know A LOT of people that have done this program and have had to do week 5 MANY times. Two years ago I let week 5 defeat me and I have never completed the C25K. I don't consider myself a failure. I just choose to do my running a bit differently :). I always do interval runs now and that works for me. If I never run for…

I have done that race the last 2 years locally in Little Rock, AR and am planning on doing it this year with my daughter :). We do running/walking intervals. I am pretty darned slow so between then and now I am just trying to build the speed up a bit :). Right now we are just managing to run 2 nights a week, cuz we are so…

You also need to consider the fact that MFP is trying to teach us a new way to eat FOR LIFE and not just to lose weight. I personally love food to much to ONLY eat 1000 calories a day for the rest of my life. And if I only eat 1000 a day for now then what happens when I lose all the weight then want to go back to a more…

Thank you! I guess I didnt look hard enough when I searched.

You are biking,walking, jogging...those are all leg, butt and thigh exercises! When I first started with just walking 3 years ago. I had only lost maybe 10lbs but my husband told me that my butt was looking really good. Its becasue you are using muscles that you have probably not used alot in the past and they are…

For 1.5 lbs your deficit should either average 750 calories a day or 5250 calorie deficit for a week. But the program will calculate all of this for you!

Use the Polar. That is what it is for! It is using your Heart Rate and information about yourself that you programed into it to determine how many calories YOU specifically are burning. The machines are using general information and not heart rates to determine an estimate for anybody that climbs on it.

There is a program call Couch to 5K , or, C25K. It builds you up slowly with intervals. I do intervals on a regular basis. Google it to find the link..or someone may post it. The key for you seems to be that you are running at 80-90%...why? You don't need to do that. I walk then do a nice decent paced run (jog for most)…

If you count your exercise in your activity level then you DON'T eat your calories back. It would be factored into your daily calorie allotment.

Last night was a full D1L1. I am SORE today! I do feel great about it though :). I'm using 3lb weights and not sure that I will be able ot contiue with them...omg they get really heavy...lol. The jumping jacks and the jumprope are both being really hard on my bladder. I'm doing my best with them and modifying by doing…

Hi all! I just bought the dvd yesterday and did a half hearted L1D1 workout. Mainly wanted to see what it was all about. My shins are incredibly sore from doing a 5K over the weekend so I found the butt kicks and jump roping hard. Today I will go at it as a full on workout!

It's been a week! Come on ppl!!!!! Check in already :)
