Honestly, I can't answer that question for you, because I'm a stay at home mom, but, you hang in there!! You will figure it out! Everybody always asks me how I can get up at 0430 to get my workouts in.... I just tell them "I just do!" *hugs*

Look... I'm not attacking you... but that article is a lot of rubbish. If you ask a scientist... everything causes cancer/diabetes/MS/multitudes of others. If "raw electricity" can cause diabetes, then why is it that not EVERYONE in a modern environment has it? We're all exposed to it every. single. day. for many many…

LOL!! I just read this "Coach Poliquin threw out a few dingers like: right hamstring pulls are a magnesium deficiency and left hamstring pulls are a potassium deficiency and this based on yin/yang theory." This has to be so true because... a muscle can only be pulled by those things right??? What a FRUITCAKE!

I got a pretty good laugh out of this... While it's recommended that you don't OVER exercise, because it does produce more stress on your body than good, running on a treadmill, or using any other type of electronic equipment, does not cause diabetes. I know people that have never seen electronic exercise equipment in…

Welcome!!!

Finished Day 2!! MAN! There are muscles in my legs that are sore that I didn't even notice until I started jogging!!! LOL

*giggle* Thanks!! It wasn't exactly a high speed pace... my max speed was 7.5mph but my average was 3.3mph. So, on AVERAGE... it was just slightly more than a walk! LOL

on the couch 2 5k site they actually have a treadmill one! Here's the website http://www.c25k.com

I just started today!! I was GOING to start yesterday, but I didn't sleep well... I would LOVE to be friends! :-)

For those of you asking about where to get podcasts... You can do a search on google for Couch 2 5k podcasts, and the C25K website does give you some as well! Here's their website http://www.c25k.com

Kerrymh- I also want to run a 5k in May!! My husband is military and is also a Wounded Warrior... and the run is to benefit them! After that I'm going to keep training and HOPEFULLY do a 10k with a friend of mine in August! Maybe next year I will be able to do the half marathon!! (Okay... I'm getting a little ahead of…

Thanks guys!!! ^.^ My hubs, kids, and I took our dogs walking last night as well... and I did a little bit of jogging with my dog. I'm just happy I did it! I was supposed to start yesterday, but, I couldn't sleep and ended up not doing it. I thought that I would chicken out this morning and reset my alarm!! But, I really…

I know that it's not funny... and it's not.. it sucks.. trust me I know!! (My own daughter told me in Old Navy one time when I was searching for a pair of shorts that if I wasn't so fat that I could find some... yeah.. she got a bar of soap for that one...) But... what IS funny.. is I was just watching a movie last night…

*giggle*

Thanks guys!! I currently have Nike Shox... haha! I've had them for a LONG time tho, and the back is worn completely down, even some of the PLASTIC has been worn off! I did go to one of our running/fitness stores here in town, Omega Sports, but, I think I'm going to go to ****s and a couple other places as well.…

Wow! That's amazingt tamcrit! I'm REALLY hoping that I can do my first 5k in May! My husband is a Wounded Warrior and the run is to benifit them, so, I'm kinda partial. I went and looked at running shoes today. Man! Those things can get expensive! Lol. I'm really hoping that I can lose some weight and get back in shape as…

Thanks guys.... I really want to do this 5K! I also really want to slender down again!

We usually walk the dogs in the evening now that it's gotten cooler. I'm sure once I get him started exercising, it will be hard to keep him from it, but, for now, we got bumpkis! LOL I'm hoping that I can be very successful at TJ, and lose a bunch of weight! Like I said... I know one of my coaches lost 90 pounds using TJ!…

Thanks guys! I'm workin hard to get the weight off. Next is my husband. He has a medical condition and while he's in the military, they don't want him to exercise. It's terrible. We try to watch what we eat, but, he's so depressed that he's so large, that he eats because he's depressed. :-( He's up to a BMI of 35. I know…

BFBM is no joke! It is a pretty intense 40 minute cardio! By the time I get to the end I'm POOPED! Keep at it... you will work up you will be able to work thru it! Promise!

I have 30 Day Shred, and Banish Fat. 30 Day is a good one for some results. She does give you quite the workout. The Banish DVD is ALL cardio! Don't get me wrong, there is muscle building in there too... but it's 40 minutes of pure *kitten* kicking cardio. It gets "easier" as you build up, but, never easy!!

TatianaB... you can always return it if you don't like it. Contact your coach and tell them that you would like to try Greenberry (if you didn't sign up for a mix shipment) and they can have it changed for you. There are lots of recipes on the shakeology site that taste wonderful. My favorite is milk and PB... tastes just…

Kepp workin it girl!! I know it sucks!! The first WEEK I did Jillian I was so sore I couldn't sit on the toilet! It DOES get better!!

I never thought about jogging in the pool. We live in Jacksonville NC, so, I'm used to the heat and humidity. Since I'm an hour ahead I would be waking up around 5:30 to go jog. Maybe I will just do the jogging in the pool... we will see... LOL

I started with no weights... then I added them. When I FIRST started it... I was all gun ho and I started with 5 pound weights.. I didn't do it again for MONTHS! LOL

Oh goodness!! Good luck!!

Well, I don't know about other people, but I try not to deny myself anything. If I want a Blizzard, I go buy a Blizzard, but I also make a deal with my kids, that I'm going to only eat X amount, and they get the rest. Usually I make this deal with my daughter. If we order her a small, she very rarely finishes it, so, I…

Wow! I started Shred on Monday! My friend and I are doing Shred on M,W, F and then I do Cardio Max on T & TH! So, TECHNICALLY, I'm L1D3! It's okay tho, because I'm working out, I feel good! I was really sore after the 1st day, but, I pushed through and did Cardio the next day! I actually took yesterday off because we were…

You can do it!! There are a lot of people on here that are in the same boat as you! You have a great support system here, even if we don't have a lot to lose! Everyone here is friendly (from what I've encountered) and always have encouraging words for you!! Good luck hun! :-)
