C25k is a great program, I hated running before I started it! Now I'm working on a 1/2 marathon! I enjoy running now! You have plenty of time! :wink:

Bodyrocker website has tons of workouts that I do while watching tv in the evening. A lot of them are only 12 min long and are killer workouts too! It does take some adjusting and wanting it more than the distractions. There is also 30 day shred and ripped in 30.. only 20-25 min long! I'm working on sending my kids to the…

so for mid week run, say it's 3 miles. I would do intervals for these 3 miles? What is the recomended intervals? 2 min/1 min? What is a tempo run?

I was just told that the 30DS is more for the weight loss and ripped is to build muscle. Is this a correct statement?

I like the bodyrocker.it. It's a free website with a bunch of diff workouts that are between 12-20 min. It's rough but she does modifications. I don't really care for how they dress or some of the pictures but the workouts are great! Couch to 5K is also a great program for very beginner runners.

This is so helpful! thank you! :smile:

I found one that has just the lenght of runs instead of the speed, I'm going to try this one. I would like to speed up my 5k though. Thank you! :happy:

I do plan on finishing and not focusing a whole lot on speed. I found a diff plan that has just the distance and not the speed. But on the side I would like to speed up my 5k run. Thank you all for your advice! I appreciate it. :flowerforyou:

How do I figure out my ghmp? I try to keep my hr in the 160's... when I do intervals it goes up to the 180's then in recovery I try to bring it down to 140ish... Am I doing this right or should I be doing somethign diff.. the other day I ran outside for the first time this winter and when I looked at my heart rate monitor…

My 5k is about 35 min and I'd like for it to be faster. So what would the 5 sets be? at this pace and then what? Is it intervals? I've been trying to do intervals of sprints and walks.. 2 min sprint, 1 min walk and switch it up ect... Thank you so much! :wink:

So if this is the case and I have a thyroid or other issues after on the meds is it easier to lose the weight or will it still be harder for me to lose than most people? Even last year when I started I was able to lose but it was seriously burning 3000-4000 calories a week and still only losing .5-1 lb a week.. (at least I…

One thing to consider when taking vitamins is if they don't disolve in a cup of water they will do nothing but flush through your system. This is what I was told years ago. Test whatever you get out and let it sit in some water for a while... I guess this is hear/say since I have not researched it but the gummy ones are…

Unless you have had candida you don't understand what it is. I also had candida overgrowth and I know it was b/c of all the Christmas goodies and sugar I had over the holidays. When ever my mom has too much caffine and sugar she gets symptoms of Candida overgrowth. The most simple way to check it out if to cut out anythign…

If I want an easy workout I do the eliptical if I want a hard workout I run outside...I wouldn't compare the 2. It's so much harder running outside! I agree start with the c25k program. I started with that and I hated to run and I love running now. Starts you out slow and builds you up. Good luck!

I had mine done.. I went in fasting and laid on the couch while breathing in the machine. She printed my results out right then and there.. I have a fast metabolism. 1962. Both my nutritionist and I were very surprised! I've since upped my calories and seeing if it works! I hope your results are good! :)

Bump... I'm wondering the same thing!

Some of mine are getting my nails done, highlighting my hair, buying a new item. Try to stay away from food rewards... Good job on being over 1/2 way there!! Keep it up!

If you can't handle the taste of the ACV it really helps to put it with V8 juice.. then your getting some veggies with it. I did it a while back, does anyone know if it goes bad? or expires?

GGRrrr my downfall1! lol.. and then I found out how good the trefoil ones with nutella!!! :ohwell: I've hidden them so I don't see them as much, these ones will last longer than a week. lol I was talking to a friend and we wonder why they don't sell them at the end of the year when less people are on diets and people have…

Thank you Jeaniehop! I will try to focus on that... I get so frustrated for working so hard and not seeing any results!!! I eat a ton healthier now than I did last year due to the life style changes I've made and I have lost 30 lbs! I'm excited about that but I still have 25-30 lbs to go. What do you mean back to the goals…

I've also heard it is great for you1! I do this in the summer but in the winter I can't seem to stay up on it. lol.. It is nice and refreshing!

I put them in yogurt, apple sauce, in my smoothies, oatmeal, salad... I've tried just putting it in water and it's doable but I don't care for the texture in water. Esp if it sits too long. kinda gets slimey.. also if you put it in smoothies drink up b/c it makes them thick after a while.. Enjoy! I love my chia seeds!!! :)

IF you are able to go to a nuritionist and ask to get a medabolic test done. I got mine tested b/c I was in the same boat.. nothing was working for a good 6 months! Come to find out that I have a fast metabolism and need to eat more... I have currently upped my calories and I'll give it a month to see if it works. :) Good…

I just wanted to give you some encouragement. My nutritionist and I are trying to figure out why I'm not losing and after we try this last thing she has actually given me permission (with dr. supervision) to do it if what we are tryign now doesn't work! I agree it is a 'fad diet' but you know, each to their own and some…

I am in the same boat as you1!!! I started Jan 2011 and lost 30 lbs, 1/2 way to goal, and in July/Aug everything stopped. I went on a trip and gained 10 of that back and have not been able to get any of that off!!! I tried dropping my calories, I tried upping my calories, I tried HARD workouts 5 days a week and NOTHING!!!!…

Ok so here is my story and you can take it as you want.... I've been working out and on my getfit health journey since Jan 2011 and lost a good 30 lbs in the first 6 mo.. The last 7 mo I've been at a stand still.. eating more cal, cutting back cal... shocking my body with diff exercises ect and no change!!! I finally went…

Here i a good website I saw the other day. http://www.cbn.com/media/player/index.aspx?s=/mp4/LJO190v1_WS

The only thing about this strategy is the more you workout, if your doing strength training, the more muscle you have. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism gets, for the most part. I did great the first 30 lbs and this last 30 lbs have not been budging! I went to take a metabolic test and come to find out my…

I took the metabolic test today and it said I have a fast metabolism which means I've been starving myself eating 1500-1800 calories a day!!!! At a resting rate my body burns 1962 calories!! Where most peoples lowest is 1200 mine is 2000. My nutritionist was shocked!! For a 28 year old female that is extremely high!! DO…

I'm planning on joining after I finish the 30 day challenge I'm doing now! Good luck! I did this last year and loved it!!! Saw great results!! Enjoy!! :)
