Thanks everyone. I did log it in and will just not overdue it later with dinner. Plan to have grilled chicken and veggies and more water. My husband has lost over 40 lbs and has such total discipline 95% of the time. I wish I had half his will power!

Great job. That is exactly my situation and really going to work this year to reach my goal. Do you mind me asking what you set your calorie limit to??

Ok, so 93 days till Christmas. So need to loose 25 lbs. but not sure it will happen in 93 days. Willing to give it a shot and have a smaller goal of 15 lbs. Feel like I'm really motivated again after a lazy few months of summer. Had lost 7 lbs. by mid-July, but it is all back. So not happy about that. Hate to have to post…

I've done this diet and had great results. Due to family issues and such, let myself go with my diet and exercise. Now back on track and starting on the 17 day diet Monday with my husband. Need to loose at least 20, but would like 25. I know this works for me. Good luck!!

I was just checking your food diary and it says you earn over 2000 calories from exercise. What do you do to burn that much in one day? You are amazing!!

This thread is great. My 3rd child is going to be 3 in a few weeks and I still have to loose 20 lbs. and tone up my belly. It definatley is harder after each baby, especially since I had my kids later in life (my 3rd was when I was 40) and my two youngest are 17 months apart. So, for the Moms that have seen real changes…

Yes on the days I work. By the time I get home with the kids and feed, bath and spend time with the family, it is 9:00 pm. I've been up since 5:15 and no way I have energy to go to the gym. I did a 3 mile walk and have done the equilavent of 6 miles today so not being totally lazy, but feel like I would have gotten more…

These posts are just the motivation I need to get back on track. I was almost running 6 miles and then the winter came and family issues and bam, 10 lbs. back on and I feel like my endurance is gone. I signed up for a virtual 10k next month and know that I won't be able to run the whole distance, I hope I can at least run…

Wow - that is great. So going to give this new system a try and hopefully start to see some results. It seems to simple. Love having the two systems syching to provide me with all the information I need to reach my goals!!

Thanks. My down fall are carbs! Love my bagels, pretzels and pizza (and wine). Going to limit it to one a week and try the bagel thins. I know what i have to do, just completely lost focus. Have an extremely busy lifestyle 3 kids (8, 4 and 2), working part-time in the city which means 11 hour days out of the house for me…

I'm starting week 12 of this program. I also skipped a few weeks as I had completed the c25k in January 2013 and ran a few 5ks over the spring. Now hoping to start focusing on doing 10ks. Its hard b/c I just can't always find the time for a run. I have 3 small children, work part-time at a firm in the city so my…

I have been researching this and plan on ordering it today. Starting 9/3 would be great. How can I join??

I do stretch before and after a run and thankfully never had an issue. I'm sure it was from the 2.0 incline on the treadmill yesterday after also doing a circuit workout and a 4 1.2 mile run the day before. I'll probably give it a go today at the gym and see how things feel. If too uncomfortable, will just stop. Trying to…

My breathing isn't an issue, it is partly mental and partly my legs just couldn't keep going. I'm sure it was the extreme humidity yesterday. I should have gone out earlier in the morning rather than 10 am. I'm going to do it at the gym on Wednesday where I have more control over how fast/slow I'm running. Thanks.

Thanks. Trying not to get discouraged and accept that weather has a lot to do with my 2 failed attempts. Will give it a go again on Wednesday and hope to get over this hurdle. Will run 3.5 miles today during lunch at the gym to keep up the training.

Awesome article. I just started running a year ago and have done a few 5ks and now training for a 10k in October. I have 3 kids and so hard juggling being a mommy, working, wife and runner, but I'm not giving up. The 10k will require a hotel stay b/c the race is very early on a Saturday morning, but hopefully my husband…

Hi. I've been running a little less than a year and have done 2 5ks. Absolutely addicted to it and wish my crazy life would allow more time to train. Hoping to do a few more 5ks and a 10k in the fall. I'm trying to eat as best I can, but tracking calories is just not for me. I eat pretty clean as I cook almost all of our…

Wow! I'm hoping to do my first 10k in October and would be thrilled to do it under 60 minutes. Have done 2 5ks and the first was 30.54 and second 28.54. I'm doing the 10k training app and really hoping to be able to run the whole thing.

I haven't signed up for it yet, but hoping to do the 10k in Atlantic City in October. I started running last Sept. using the couch to 5k app. I've done 2 5k races and hope to do at least one more over the summer while training for a 10k. Now using the bridge to 10k app and running 4 miles without too much trouble. I just…

That is awesome and I especially like the part about you saying when you ran your 5k, never do that again, ran your 10k, never do that again. Did my second 5k on Sunday and did it in 28.58 seconds. It was a grueling race for me b/c of the heat and I just started out too fast. As I was running, I swore I would never do this…

And just to make clear, I'm not complaining about the time I ran the race as all I was looking to do was keep it under 30, I'm upset b/c I didn't enjoy the race and struggled to get through it. I love running and so happy at what I've accomplished over the last several months, but I really wish that I wasn't miserable the…

I'm going to start the bridge to 10k program now and will be increasing my runs. It is hard as a mother of 3 small chidren and working, but will try my best to make the time. I already get up on my days off from work before 6 to get a run in so I'm sure I can get up at 5:30!! Thanks for your support and advice. Much…

That is exactly how I felt. I did great, but could have done better if I paced myself better. I do use runkeeper that was letting me know how far and fast I was going and realized I did the first mile in a little over 8 minutes and that is way too much for me. I guess after waiting around an hour for the race to start got…

Thanks all. I just felt like I didn't belong running since I was really having to mentally push myself to keep going. Once I was done, I was extremely happy, but wish I enjoyed it more. I ran on Friday, but didn't run on Saturday to prepare for Sunday. I was saying in my head that this was going to be my last race, which…

Thanks. I am going to start working on a 10k which will force me to do longer runs. Hard as I have 3 small children and can't dedicate all the time I want to my running, but trying to make it work as I really enjoy it. A lot of yesterday was mental as I was fixated on doing it under 30 and was sort of psyching myself out…

I just ran my first 5k on Sunday after completing the c25k program in December. My time was 30 minutes 43 seconds. I was pretty happy with that result for my first ever race. It was very cold and I'm not sure if that helped, but I've been running 10 minute miles for a few weeks now so I guess that is where I should be.…

No ab pics to show but hopefully in a few months I will. I have 3 kids, youngest turning 2 next week. I've been eating A LOT healthier and running and dropped 10 lbs and see my stomach finally starting to flatten out. I'm going to add in some real conditioning work soon with DVDs and classes at the gym, in addition to…

Thanks. I think the cold made me run faster than I normally would or the momentum of the crowd. It was so much fun. Once you complete the program, I highly recommend you signing up for a 5k in your area. Nothing better than crossing the finish line wih people cheering you on.
