Hi everyone! I am 27, married with a little (almost) 3 year old. I work part time outside of the home and then do a lot of social media marketing work at home. I am STILL trying to lose the weight I gained during my pregnancy....luckily life events that have halted any real decent progress has calmed down. Now I am able to…

I am a working mom and I find that as long as I can get some activity in, I'm doing okay. We can't be too hard on ourselves. I have a 3 year old who loves to be by my side constantly. So I have had to improvise with workouts. She loves working out with me, which is a huge help. We do kickboxing, zumba and even basic…

Yeah I figured I would just start out with that as a warm up because I KNOW I am not ready for month 2 workouts. However, I was given a website that has the workouts from the couple DVDs I am missing, so I can start the scheduled program today....FIT TEST is first

Thanks for your response and also your support in giving me a piece of mind that I am NOT the only one who feels this way!!! Y'all are great!!! :happy:

Haha, yeah, calorie police might arrest me. I'm not saying I go way overboard IF/WHEN I go over my limit, but when I do go over, which is never more than 200 cals and not a regular event, I don't get upset, as long as I know I made healthy choices. =)

I count them, just to keep them controlled, but I don't get upset if I am over a bit, whereas some people do......I'm beginning to think calorie counting is a bit overrated....is that too bold to say? LOL

I keep a balance between the 2...cardio one day and weights the next and so on. I'm just really finding it interesting how people are SO concerned with counting calories and burning calories than making a happy balance of your body.

I have been experiencing something similar, very itchy skin, and rash like on my arms and legs. I use a lotion from NAture's Gate, the tea tree moisturizing lotion...it helps TONS!! I got mine from Sprouts, I'm sure they have it at other natural grocery stores as well. ALso stay away from alcohol and high sugar intake…

Hey that's what i am running/walking at too. Have had multiple surgeries on the knee so I'm taking it easy!!!! Thanks for joining my group!!

Jessica - 30 hours (hope I copied right)

I run the c25k app on my phone (HTC Sensation) and I can run background music as well, which is nice! i had to pay for this app to run it, it was only 99cents, but it has been worth it....

I have an iPod nano and NEVER use it...LOL....check to see if you can find an arm strap for your phone...thats what I did.....

Welcome to the group jennifer!!!! Glad to have you aboard!!!!

Welcome all new members!!!! Feel free to add me!!!

Hi everyone! I love the fact that there are so many of us from the Denver area that are keeping our health in check on here! That is awesome! I would love to participate in the meet ups every month, but with a busy toddler, busy schedule and limited to one vehicle, making the meet ups are slim to none, especially with the…

Welcome! My best advice it...well...JUST DO IT!! When you are feeling like not running or working out, just get up and do it. It will increase your energy and your body performance! We are all here for you and here for encouragement!

It was awesome! Just finished the first day of week one (since I missed 2 out of 3 days of the first week), and I found it to be super easy!!! You will do GREAT on week 5!!!!!

Welcome to the group!! I am so happy that I started this SMALLER group to have some great encouragement and words of advice when needed!!! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

WONDERFUL RESPONSES GUYS!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Unfortunately, I have an Android phone, I downloaded the $1.99 app to run the C25K program and I love it, not sure if it's much help for the iPhone, I understand the tight budget, my husband and I live off of 150 extra a month for food and gas after bills, so I am totally there with you. Look at the reviews, go with your…

I just started on monday, so i will be doing W1D2 this afternoon. I hate running, meaning just straight running, so I really needed something to keep my interest into it, that's why I chose this program, also to train for the mud run as well. I too am recovering from having a baby, I packed on 50 lbs during pregnancy, and…

Welcome ladies!!! I love hearing everyone's story. As I had said, I am training for a mud run similar to the tough mudder runs. I had our little girl almost 2 years ago and thanks to stressful life events am JUST now working on getting the added weight off. I look forward to getting to know each one of you!!!! When I get…

Thanks for the reply!! I too am running mon, wed, fri with tue, thur strength training. I just started on the program so I cant speak from experience, yet! :).

Thanks for the reply!! I just started mine, so tomorrow I will be running W1D2...I love the program do far!! Good luck to you too!!!

All are welcome to add me too!!!!

This will go great with the C25K running!! I'm going to be realistic and know that even getting in an hour a day will be hard, so I will commit to 30 hours for the month! =)

I am very tired of it. I stay on it, just because I do have family in Canada on there, and it's cheaper and quicker to share things. But since being on MFP, I have found that the FB community isn't as encouraging as people on here. There is less drama, more encouragement and we are all on the same page when it comes to…

Yes me too!!!!! Even though I didn't get to go 1st round, Ill do the new one with yall!

We are just north of you in castle rock......feel free to add me, i love meeting others from colorado!!!
