That's funny! Thanks for making me smile. I completed W6D2 - it wasn't too bad. I looked ahead and found out there will be no more walking breaks - ouch.

Hello fellow teammates - don't forget weigh in today!! Remember we are all in this together!

You are doing really well!! Keep it up!

Hello - happy Friday!! I lost 2.2 this week (the spreadsheet says 1.8 - must be fuzzy math). As long as the scale goes down and not up, I'm happy. JERubin1 - hang in there. My husband isn't supportive all the time either which is crazy because I know he want's me to lose weight. He doesn't like the fact I won't eat at…

This is sooo simple - frozen chicken breasts (I usually use 5), throw them in a slow cooker and top with - 1 16 oz jar of salsa 1 can corn (drained) 1 can black beans (drained) 1/2 hr before serving, add one 8 oz package of cream cheese I let it cook all day when I'm at work - usually 10 hrs before it is served. I serve it…

I completed W6 D1 today - much easier than W5 D3. My husband said "I didn't hear you breathing tonight". I can sound like a freight train when I'm running and really tired.:happy:

I've had a rough couple of days. Work is stressful - I am definitely a stress eater. I haven't eaten more (yet) but I feel really hungry all the time. I haven't felt like this is weeks. More water!! Our weather stinks too - that doesn't help me. We received more snow yesterday and it stuck. :grumble: I've lived in…

I FINALLY finished W5 D3 tonight!! My husband said "was it because you ran so late" - I said "no, it was because my MFP friend across the pond who helped pull me through". Thank you Lau-UK for all of your encouragement and helpful insights!! Now on to W6 D1!!

Found out today you cannot edit posts after they have been posted for an hour. I reread my posting from yesterday and discovered I violated one of my pet peeves. I wrote "loose" instead of "lose". How could I do that? (Idiot) Anywho, today is another day. Discoverdamb, I too am a stress eater (and I'm a worrier so I'm…

Go Navy - Woot - Woot! Awesome first week! When I look at the great losses, it can be a bit disheartening because I only lost 1.8, but guess what, I continue to loose! I had been packing on weight pretty consistently for the past few years! After tracking my food, it's obvious to me my calories aren't necessarily the…

Hello Team Navy!! Glad you grabbed the reins JERubin1! I'm 48 and have five sons. Besides our dog, I'm the only female in the house. I work full time and often times after coming home and making dinner, I just want to relax. I've been in shape before (the last time was about 10 years ago). For me it takes exercise - plain…

Awesome! You have this - the rest will be a piece of cake! I tried again today and didn't make it. No excuses - the weather was perfect. I was shooting making it to a certain tree and I bypassed the tree and she still hadn't told me "you have one minute left". I must have been going faster than last time (seems impossible…

Ugh - I'm right there with you. This is my third week of W5 D2. Just this week I started adding a minute to each run but I haven't cracked W5 D3 yet. Honestly, I feel once I conquer W5 D3, I will be able to conquer running the entire 5K. My heart rate is coming down much quicker and my highest heart rate is no longer in…

I completed week 5 day 2 again today. My heart rate has come down and is now staying in the high 160's. I'm trying week 5 day 3 again tomorrow. What I found out is different C25K programs have varying programs - crazy, but true. My week 5 program is quite different than a friend's week 5. All that counts is we keep going.…

I'm on week 5 day 2. I cannot get past it. My current plan is to continue repeating day 2 until my heart rate stays below 180. :smile:

Hi, I'm 46 and I'm currently 168 pounds. I am 5'6 with a medium build. I have five boys and work full-time. This will be a great motivator - I need all the help I can find. I avoid pictures - whenever I see them I want to hide. I may post pictures when some of the rolls go away. Thanks for creating this group! SW - 187 CW…

Hi, My name is Stephanie. I'm 46 and I'm currently 168 pounds. Losing 10lbs in June would be wonderful! I am 5'6 with a medium build. I have five boys and work full-time. This will be a great motivator - I need all the help I can get! SW - 187 CW - 168 GW - 135 I am tired of being chubby and would love to be able to wear…

Have any of you owned your FitBit for 6+ months? I was looking into purchasing one but when I looked at reviews it seemed the FitBit stopped working after about 6+ months.

I am by no means a expert, but in order for me to lose weight, I need to choose an exercise that will raise my heart rate (and keep it up). Recently a personal trainer told me for moderate weight loss your heart rate should be elevated (in a healthy range of course) for at least 30 minutes. I'm 46 - eating healthy is not…
