New runner here! About to finish week 4 of couch to 5k! It's a great program! At first i struggled to run for a minute but the program really teaches you to pace yourself and the weeks go by so quickly! Good luck!

I'm in. I'm working on toning my abs right now so this'll be the perfect thing for me :)

So far I've been wii fitting and ea sports activing for a week and I've lost................ A grand total of 2lb. And 1 inch off my waist. (I know I should measure thighs, neck etc, but it's only my waistline that concerns me)

So 200 crunches a day should do the trick? Thanks for the advice, I'll see how it goes. If the problem is that I have too high a body fat percentage, what do I do to fix it? Do I have to lose the weight and then gain it back as muscle? I'm really confused.

Sorry, what's a body comp? And where can I get one?

I'm doing yoga on my wii fit, I'm terrible at it though since I have no balance skills =)) And I'm doing things like crunches and sit ups as strength training. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Hey Tyler! Welcome to mfp, I'm not really a regular around the forums since I'm only generally around here to track what I've eaten and how many calories I've burned etc. I thought I'd welcome you after seeing your thread since I'm a teen trying to lose weight too, I'm 16, I'm not overweight, I just used to be way skinnier…

So far I've been wiiing for 4 days. As long as I burn about 150 calories per day, I'm fine with that, it takes a lot of effort not to get bored just playing wii fit and trying to burn those calories, so i also do my daily exercise challenge on EA sports active. I didn't know you could set a goal on wii fit plus itself,…

I use my wii fit :) My goal is to do at least 30 minutes per day. I'm doing it in small doses, I've noticed I've got issues meeting large goals like losses of 20lb(it's a lot for me because I'm not looking to lose that much) but aiming for about 3lb every 2 months so I know I'll definately make it feels better than putting…

I think it's something to do with you losing a lot of weight during the first few weeks, and then your body recognising what you're doing, getting used to it and staying at a stable weight. If you keep persisting with excercise then you should continue to lose. I'd been stuck at 130 for about 2 weeks, only going up, then…

I'm the same. For the past few days I've felt like I didn't need to do the excercise, and that i could start doing whatever I want. This is probably why I didn't lose any weight this week(lack of excercise, overeating) but I'm getting back on the wagon today, the weather won't stop me.

I'm 15, and turning 16 next month. I know my profile says I'm 18, but they don't let you have an account at 15 otherwise, and I can see no harm in it to be honest, it's helping me, and not damaging my health, so I'm here. I think you should tell her about the site, it does wonders! I know I only got serious about it last…

Name: Ell A little bit about me: There isn't really much to say, I'm still in full time education, and I have a lot of friends who are against me losing weight(I've always been one of those strereotypically skinny girls who everybody thinks is a stick, and that used to be true, until I gained some weight from spending…

Thanks everyone. I'll try to make an appointment with the doctor soon. Oh and I'm a virgin, so I'm definately not pregnant.

I have the sports active, currently I'm on day 3. I started over with it because I was about 7 days in and gave up(I was too busy for a couple of days to go on it, and used it as a quitting excuse, that and the fact that I went away on holiday and couldn't use it there, we were in a hotel, I spent the holiday eating chips…

It's good that you shouold be able to fit in to them soon, keep up the good work.

So yesterday I went out and I got myself some new jeans. The catch, however, is that the jeans are a tad bit small. And now I'm forced to lose the weight to fit into them. So now whenever I'm reaching for my comfort foods, I think to myself 'the jeans wont fit if you eat that.'

I probably am still growing, but I feel like if I don't shift these pesky few pounds now then I'll get to the pint when my motabolism has slowed in several years and it'll become more difficult to lose weight.

I'm Ellen, I'm 18 and from England. Currently I'm 5 foot 7 and I weigh 127lb, I'd like to lose about 7lb pretty much primarily using wii fit. But by doing walking several days a week too. I'm getting quite a lot of motivation since I was talking with a guy friend the other day, and I was telling him how I had a dream that…
