  • I was using the calorie goal on MFP when I first started, which put me at 1200 calories. I lost a little weight, but nothing significant. I started working out with a personal trainer a couple of months ago at my gym because my weight loss had stalled. He immediately stated he would bump my calories up because I was…
  • I am over 200 as well and I can not run 5 minutes straight yet, but I will. I have been doing the C25K (Couch to 5K) program and in week 2 am up to alternating running 90 sec and walking 2 min for 20 minutes. You can go to http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/index.shtml and get the C25K running program from there. I…
  • I am in the same range (239) and my goal is 140. You can add me if you like, although I do my weigh-ins on Wednesdays. Middle of the week seems to be better for me, especially if I've had a bad weekend, give a few days to catch up.

Trying to get ready for my 3rd 5K in October. Hoping to be able to run more of it this time.
  • I actually started the 30 Day Shred video last night. I have been going to the gym on M-W-F and started the Couch to 5K program on Sunday to do during my off days from the gym. I was going to do my Week 1 Day 2 of C25K last night, but was nursing a blister on my heel from Week 1, Day 1, so opted to do the 30 Day Shred…
  • tharrop - If you don't mind sharing, how do you change or customize your Carb/Protein/Fat ratios on MFP? :smile:
  • The smoking suggestion is funny since I notice you are/were a smoker and had a April quit date on your goals. I started smoking casually at 17 and it did help suppress my appetite at first, but not forever. After 18 years all I ended up with was 80 extra pounds and a bad habit which cost me $$ each year fighting chronic…
