Did Week 3 Day 1 of C25K today. The 3 minute runs were really hard. I completed them all, but I was really breathless by the end of them and wasn't completely recovered in the 2 minute walk. Hopefully I am just having an off day and this will improve in the next two runs because I don't want to have to repeat week…

I was doing this in the past. It was only that off the cuff comment he made about me always thinking of food that got me doubting myself and feeling self-conscious. I need to just get over myself and do the things I know I need to.

Thanks Rubybelle. Your husband sounds a lot like my bf. To a tee. I know I need to eat when I need to eat and not hold him up as an example of what I should be. I need to get over my self-consciousness and do what is right for me. If it really does end up bothering him then I guess that's his problem. I just need a thicker…

strange...I got a notification on my phone that you sent me a message but when I go to my messages there is nothing there....

I think I shall steal this idea shamelessly. Love it!!

No I just rinse it after every use....no soap. And then hang it to dry. Not sure what else it might be. Maybe yours is just defective?? I have not heard any other issues here on the forum. Maybe someone else here can offer some advice. Have you tried contacting Polar for troubleshooting? Wish I could be more help.

Bump. I may need this thread down the road when I am looking for these :)

2nd workout in level 1 of 30DS complete :0 I can't remember who suggested it, but when I was done the shred, I immediately went to the treadmill and did a lower heart rate walk to help disperse the lactic acid and hopefully prevent some of the impending soreness. I also did the shred without weights today knowing how bad…

I've only had mine for a few weeks and I love it. Could it be a battery issue? I know they are supposed to last a lot longer than that, but that's the only thing I can think of. Do you disconnect the transmitter from the chest strap after every use?

did he ever or does he ever make comments about it that made you self-conscious about it? I think I would be fine with the difference if I was at a healthy weight, but because I am overweight I feel like I am being judged with every bite of food I put in my mouth --- disclaimer....he is not constantly harping or mean about…

I love your response. I am striving to have this attitude. Sadly I am still in the cycle, but working on it.

I wish I had the self control to make these and not eat the whole batch! They look and sound delicious!!

I am feeling better...only a trace of stiffness remains...gonna try the shred again tomorrow. Good job to you for finishing your runs today!!

Great job on the C25K!! I hope I can stay motivated to get to week 6! Good for you! How far did you get in the shred and what is stopping you from re-starting it? I have only done one day so far and had to skip the next one because I was in excruciating pain form the muscle soreness. I overdid it on day 1 I guess. Jillian…

Week 2 Day 3 of C25K Complete :) Still a bit sore but not enough to keep me from the treadmill :)

Me too...thanks! Good for you on completing your runs today! I hope I can stay motivated to make it as far as you have!!

I am sad to say that the pain was too much today to even think of attempting the shred. I literally stayed in bed until 3pm because it hurt so much to move. :( That said, I am going take today as a rest day and keep right on going with c25k tomorrow. I am away on Saturday so 30DS will be on Sunday next. I am thinking I…

Way to go! I can't even fathom level 2 at this point...but I shall persevere.... one day at a time :)

So when I woke up this morning I could hardly move. Every muscle in my body was feeling the effects of my first 30DS workout yesterday. The scary part is...I know it is usually the second day after that is the worst, so not sure what kind of shape I will be in tomorrow. Jillian Michaels I curse you!! But no denying I got a…

Due to the pain of shin splints? Or stamina/ breathing? Hang in there....you will conquer this :-)

Just finished Level 1 Day one of 30 Day Shred. Decided to have a protein snack of chicken breast when I was done. My arm was shaking with every lift of the fork to my mouth...lol. Hope I can lift my arms tomorrow :)

Just got mine a few weeks ago and love it love it love it!! Although if you want to upload your data to your computer and have it tracked on the website you also need a FlowLink to send the data which costs extra. But for me it was worth it. For me it is perfect but it depends what you want it for. For some a GPS is…

I'm with you on the WWE...lol. But me and my BF do Smack Down on Friday's too!! Hahaha. Love it!

Good advice....the last thing I want is an injury. I have tried C25K before and failed twice after a max of 3 weeks. I think I was trying to go at it too fast and got frustrated. This time I am doing a slow jogging pace, more concerned with finishing than excelling. I can work on pace later on. As for Jillian, I will be…

Thanks for the advice....I am one who usually needs to work through the pain because once I am motivated to start, I know if I take a day or two off to recover I could easily lose my motivation. I think I will watch the workout tonight to prepare myself what I am in for...lol. As for today, I completed C25K week 2 day 1. I…

I started c25k last week and wanted to at least try 30ds this week too. I have never even watched the video yet and am afraid after seeing posts on mfp about the agony after doing it! Have any of you been too sore after a day of jillian to do c25k??

Beautiful and inspiring. Like looking in a mirror. Thank you for sharing.

It's only necessary if a true number of exercise calories burnt is important for you to know accurately. The calories burnt for an exercise in the MFP database, or on the equipment at the gym are estimates at best. Some will be close, some will be way off. It was driving me crazy not to know the true number I was burning…
