Conrats!!!! I know the feeling! Before I started the C25k program, I could not jog more than 30sec. When I hit 3 mins straight I was so happy, I just kept going from there. Just remember to take your time and pace yourself and don't let yourself get carried away. I had to learn to slow my pace so I could jog farther…

Bump for later!!!

I understand how you feel. When I first started running back in the spring, I couldn't run for more than 30secs. I hated it, I thought to myself, I am never going to be able to do this. My jogs were at a snail's pace. I did some searching on here and heard about the C25k app for my iphone, made by Zenlabs(i think). Let me…

LOVE special K cracker chips. Bye bye cravings for crunchy, salty.

I love this type of lunch! I am not a salad person, so sandwhiches are a great alternative and nothing is wrong with bread as long as you are not over eating it.

Blue elastics, lots and lots of blue elastics. They just keep coming in with the mail and I just keep putting them in the drawer. It is an entire drawer full. I now have started an making an elastic ball.

Thanks! BUMP

I guess I am different, I just try to all eat a clean, balanced and healthy meals throughout the day and I workout when I can. I usually try to workout after I have eaten one of my smaller snack, typically right after work. Cottage cheese, some fruit and a few nuts. Works for me.

THIS - it took a bit for my body to adjust to the increased calories but everything levelled out. Certainly don't panic!

Even though I set custom goals, I still keep my activity level at "Sedentary".

Its worth a shot, just don't eat less than the number the program gives you for a 500cal deficit. If after a few weeks nothing changes, up it. Watch your measurement and you should see change. If are doing more than insanity, you will probably need to eat even more. If I jog and do insanity in the same day I total roughly…

If you daily goal is already set to 1900 or 2100 and you log your exerciise calories afterwards. Do not eat back those calories. The 1900-2100 already account for the calories burned. I like it the other way around. I set my goal to my BMR, so when I log my exercise cals, I get to eat them. Just my way of doing it and it…

Your stats are similar, I am just a little taller. Your BMR and TDEE at sedetary is pretty much exact to mine. Mine is 1539 & 1847, my TDEE with moderate exercise is 2385. Minus 500 puts me back around 1885. 1596 on the days you workout would be way to low. IMO. So I set customs goal in MFP. I set my daily goal to my BMR.…

I burn anywhere from 250-400. It really depends how hard your pushing and what workout you are doing. If you plow through with only the planned breaks, I am sure you could burn more. The more breaks you take the less you burn. I use a HRM, worth every penny if you can afford one.

I only just started - so yep it is kicking my *kitten*!! I do what I can and take breaks as needed. I would like to finish it, not pass out half way through. You are doing amazing!! Keep it up!

"Just do it, even if you suck" Is one of my favs. I tell this to myself often when I am doing a workout that I suck at. I suck at jogging and pushups, but I do it anyway!

I had to do a double take on your pictures, you do not even look the same. You LOOK FANTASTIC!!! CONGRATS..... you are very inspiring, thankyou for posting!! :happy:

Yum - will need to try this!

Awesome! Well said!!

We own a floppy eared, energetic, super smart, goofball off a pup named Copper. He is a 14 month old male Vizsla. We never know what he is going to do next and certainly keeps up on our toes!!

Zucchini Tots!!!

nice - thanks.

THIS!!

WOW - this is an amazing transformation!!!! Way to push for what you want!!

If you are hitting the 6 days week, every week, I would be using either number 3 or 4. You just want to make sure you are eating enough to fuel you through the intense workouts. When I was doing insanity, I had to hit around 2000 or more a day, depending on how many cals I burned just to keep my net high. I was always…

I also try to stay clear of all liquid foundation. Just feels awful, no matter how light weight they advertise it as. I use a bronzing powder mostly, and oil-absorbing sheets instead of re-applying the powder during the day to get rid of un-wanted shine.

I use an Organic All-in-One Cleanser and Facial Serum made by Bare Organics mostly. I also have Aveeno face cleanser and moisturizer on hand. I love the Aveeno moisturizer for the day time. Both have done wonders for my skin! Trial and error has kept me with these two products. Anything else and skin breakouts happen. I…

No more than once a week, sometimes every two weeks. I found my weight can go up and down as much as a 3-4 lbs through out the week depending how intense my workouts are. So I always use Monday as my weigh in morning IF I weigh in at all.

ooo yum!

Yum!
