60 sec. Plank... That's my goal!

Great job!!

Week 2 day 3: Plank: 50 sec did this before c25k today Push ups: 6, 7, 5, 5, 7 (30). Did real ones today my arms were shaking!! Squats: 20, 20, 24, 22, 18 (104) I'm tired!!!

I really need to work on that plank. Maybe do it first... I read that it really helps tighten and bring in the mom belly. A mom belly I certainly have after 3 kids!! More info on planking to help motivate us!! http://challengesoflosingweight.blogspot.com/2012/02/benefits-of-planking-exercise.html?m=1

Week 2 day 2 20 sec plank.... Wad just too tired after c25k 92 Squats 18, 18, 20, 18, 18 27 push ups 5, 6, 5, 4, 7

Completed week 2, day 2! Plus jogged a few more longer intervals a 3 min and a 2 min. Just to see if was going to be able to handle week 3... :-)

Week 2, day 1 45 sec plank 15 push ups 88 Squats

That is why I like intimacy. They carry non standard sizes. They don't measure either, they go by fit.

If you live close to an {intimacy} go there!! http://www.myintimacy.com/ I'm a hard to fit size 34F/G and they carry my size in non grandma bras that actually fit right and make you feel smaller. :-)

Thanks! What are the dips?

I also did a 15 min warm up today and stretched after.

Try sauteing your veggies in olive or coconut oil to add healthy fat. Also avocados and nuts are good choices. :) make sure you eat enough and drink plenty of water to help with your supply.

Did week 1, day 3 again today at a slower pace. Think I will attempt week 2 next week at this same speed 2mph walking/ 3 mph jogging.

Day 3: Incline push up: 5, 6, 4, 3, 5 (23) Squats: 14, 14, 16, 16, 14 (74) 30 sec plank

THANKS! I think I'll try it with honey as the sweetener...

Did Week 1, Day 3 this morning. Today was the hardest so far. My calves started cramping up and I ended up walking through the last run. Think I will repeat week 1. I don't think I'm ready to move on yet, but I'm not quitting just prolonging. :-)

Day 2: Incline push up. I use the fire place...: 3, 4, 3, 2, 3 (15) Squats: 15, 12, 16, 12, 12 (67) Plank: 30 sec

I do mine on the treadmill. Right now I'm doing 0% incline, 2.5-3 walking, 3.5-4 jogging. I'm very slow and out of shape...

Me too!

Loving all the tips and reports!! I finished week 1, day 2 today. It was harder than day 1, I think because today is a Monday. :-/ I was definately slower today!!

Day 1: Incline push ups: 2,3,2,2,3 Squats test: 30, Day 1: 12,10,14,10,10 Plank: 25 sec

Hi, I'm going to try!! I'm going to have to do a modified push up to start with though as I can't even do one real one!! Also I really want to focus on the planks as I read they help with the mom belly the most. :-) Will start on Monday!!

Thanks for all suggestions!! I did day one today plus walked 35 min afterwards to make a total of 3 miles... I'm pretty slow, but I feel great!!

For those of you who try to exercise everyday, what are going of the off days? Is it ok to jusy walk, or should I try to do some strength training? I'm trying to loose weight...

Well I kinda have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I'm totally out of shape!! I just started walking on the treadmill. 15-20 min at first. Now I'm up to an hour or more... and ready to start the c25k program. Just start moving and you'll build strength and endurance.

I've downloaded the c25k by Guy Hoffman app for android. It has the entire program for free. :-)

Hi I'm Jennifer... I actually have no plans to ever run a 5K, but I'd love to build up my endurance and be healthier. I've been walking an hour or so on the treadmill 3-4 times a week for 2 weeks now. So I thought it was about time I build up to jogging. I would like to burn as many calories in 20 minutes as it takes me to…

Peanut butter! Find a nutural one or one with less additives. I like the Peanut Butter and Company ones. NO HFCS or Hydro gated oils. :-)

Yea!!! Awesome accomplishment. :-)

I started this morning! Already notice the difference. :-)
