week 2 day one today. all was fine until the last run i did 60 secs of it instead of the full 90 but i feel like wednesday will be better. time for dinner now. hope everyone else is doing ok. i think its an excellent program. my only problem is i run outside and im never sure how far to run before i turn back to come home.…

wow congrats. i had been stuck also for two months up until this week. i think its all the running im doing. but its all good anyways. keep going!:wink:

i did no exercise for the first three months of my weight loss. i was so lazy, but i didn;t eat much. so far since september i am doing 100 push up challenge mon wed fri with couch 25 k mon wed fri aswell and also up to level 2 on jillians shred on tues and thurs and mayeb one weekend day depending on hangover level lol.…

I'm with you there i do day three tommorrow too and i also get the shin pains, someone said something about the shoes you use, its more of a muscle ache with me but i thought i would just run through it. its been a while since i ran anywhere lol. Im really pleased with the calorie burn though, its great, and its only week…

Very true my plan was to get to my goal weight and then quit smoking but i just thought it would be easier to quit before i tried running again lol. anyways scales said 12st 3 today so i guess that is good. wait and see what next week brings. catcha soon. Ben

I'm hiding away until the scales stop saying 12st 4 lol. everything seems slower since i stopped the cigs. i know its good but its just gonna take a little longer yet. maybe it will have to be octobers challenge to get to 11.13st again. grrrr!!! guess im just bothered coz i've been there once this year and now i can't get…

I've had to re start week three after a failure but it says that can happen. today was week 3 (4) day 2 level 3 20 25 15 15 25 (min) I barely made it through. definately not looking forward to friday but we'll see. i can see this taking a lot longer than 6 weeks lol. I'll be pleased when i can do 50 in a row.

every weekend. mine is always after a good weekend, then after two days eating healthy im all narked off because im still up a few pounds lol. but still it keeps me even in the end lol.

i did day one today instead. fell asleep after work yesterday. i did it outside and ran too far in one direction and ended up miles away from home lol. burnt 400 cals though according to the HRM. Happy days. it was hard work i feel like i am running funny. there must be a technique i missed lol. oh well might do day 2…

Anyone still up for it. I had 5am start this morning so v tired but finish work at three then its running time. will try to do this along with the push up challange of which im on week three. its hard work but i do look better for it even though my weight hasn;t moved much. hope other people do it. didn't get far last time…

i envy anyone who could do this lol

11days done but i missed five days in a row lol. i can definately get through everything now apart from squat and press at the start. i don;t know what it is about my shoulders lol. im sort of ready for level two but for people just about to start it, if i remember correctly, there is a lot of plank postition moves and you…

i had just quit smoking last time i attempted this and really flunked all my exercises back then. so its about time i tried this again. i only managed two days last time. lol. i have the podcasts already so im ready to run. could be fun. losing hope in all my efforts so far. sat at plateau heaven. Ben :smile:

Hey everybody. looks like there is alot of sucess this month. i came back down 4 pounds last week to 12st 3 but have not weighed this week yet. still enough time i think to get to 12st but we'll see. Struggling with exercise on my early shifts feel so tired after work that i sleep instead lol. oh well i have two weeks of…

last shred was friday but have had time off work which was used having fun lol so no shred for four days. back into it tonight after work. glad to hear everyone else doing well. ive done nine days of it so far this month which isn't too bad.

I sat still for ten minutes this morning and burnt 20 cals which when added up can make quite the difference. 10 minutes walking round was 30 cals. hey i was bored. but when it comes to doing exercise for half hour i have to remeber that 60 70 cals would have been burnt anyways makes a big difference if you exercise a lot…

8 days done. no extra comment though. nothing exciting happened yet. although that bit where she says 'those on day 5 6 and 7 will notice better endurance' she is definately right i can get through the cardio loads better. still struggling with some of the strenght. have change food to suit strenght workout now though so i…

as long as there isn't a "Team 5 year anniversary group lol".

freaky im getting hitched november next year to my partner which will be our five years since first dating. good luck getting ready for yours. i want to go somewhere hot for mine but no decisions made yet lol. :smile:

well i did week 2 day two today. think im level three. doing the iphone app so not sure 16 14 10 10 17 min i managed 20 does feel like i have improved though and doing it mon wed fri. its good fun. its a little while before i do one hundred in a row though lol.

i knew boss would know and yes to amandaj i know what you mean. i have an f6 polar so i will bear it in mind. i thought someone would come out with a theory that proved me stupid lol.

that makes sense i think i will do the same but yeah we can't be too picky either. ill end up in an insane asylum counting cals lol

Had the weekend off last week. but done the three weekdays so far so that makes 7 days. definately feeling it in my shoulders. im alternating between level one and two because they are so very different. i don't get my heart rate as high in level two but it is defiately harder work. haven't got to level three before but im…

@tammiefannie hey thanks very much. its always nice to hear that. i will look around. i know the gym sells it down the road but im not a member anymore. in the uk i figured it would be a health food store but i will do my research make sure i buy the right stuff lol. so many brands and colourful labels i get lost easily. i…

well done on getting to 12st I'm a bit gutted about my weight in figures but feel loads better about body now so kinda the opposite of you. might take you a while to get used to being back in college all the time but its seems you've done really well over the summer. don't lose faith! i know im trying not to. looks like…

i was hoping that but i don't feel like i have been working out enough to have made that sort of change though maybe as my jeans don't feel tighter lol. its definately the time of day i weigh myself. has been midday all last week and today it was at 5.30am so thats probably yesterdays meal ha ha im just frustartaed that i…

did day one to five last week monday to fri and then had sat sunday off. back into it today i hope. so far i have not lost any weight but gained a pound lol. must be the weekend. gong to try not to weight myself till next monday now hope it makes a difference. level two is definately a different workout. i find it hard…

hey sean crazy as it sounds im 5ft 9.5 (no shoes lol) apparantly and i did it on one of those machine things at boots. bmi for me is good at 12st 3 but really i think 12st is same as James. my goal is 11st although i think i was looking ok at 11st 6 just thought hey why not go for 11st. my goals change with my motivation…

well after day three today i feel good. everyone seems to have a hard time with the lateral raises but i seem to be able to do them. i struggle with the first ones, shoulder press and squat, for some reason i can't hold my arms up in the air. don't want to sound annoying but i found with the raises getting the breathing…
