Autumn256

I found that if I get my exercising clothes on, and lace up my sneakers, I don't have anything else to do but work out! And you are right, once you get going, you can do more than you thought!!

Thanks for the info! Number 12 is the key for me........................

Hello All! I would love to join this challenge! My plateau is d/t my own inconsistency. Getting ready to bust through October with you all.........:smile:

As soon as you get home from work, bypass the refrigerator and have your workout clothes ready to put on. Suit up, and start your workout!! Of course, you will have laid out your clothes so they are ready to go and planned your workout. I find the exercise DVD's so helpful. I put on my sweats, plug in my DVD, and start…

Great job! Very motivating! And what you refer to as your "laziness", is probably your body calling for a rest day, so your muscles can build and repair. You are making all kinds of positive lifestyle changes, and deserve congratulations!!! (and will be looking cute in your swimsuit! :0) )

Hi, yes, Jenna is a great teacher. I have not done that particular DVD, but I have done a drum solo one she puts out, which was great! It is so much fun............

I certainly know how this feels! I used to work 7p to 7 a, 3 nights a week. When I woke up, I would either get dressed and put my walking shoes on and go right out the door, or put in one of my exercise DVD's, and get it done right off the bat! Then, I would worry about cooking dinner, people would start coming home from…

Good for you! You've got to treat those tootsies right! Loving your reward at 154 pounds! Awesome................

Wow! A triathalon? As in swim, bike, run? That sounds like a great goal! Congrats on the 13 pounds lost so far, You must be down a size, too. WTG! I am getting ready for a 5K on Sept 10th, so we have similar goals. I would like to lose 8 pounds by August 31st, as well. I think it's doable. Let's keep in touch, and motivate…

I'm with you, Mommy, on the small goals. 5 pounds a month? That's 60 pounds in a year! Thats about 6 sizes smaller, and think fo the great bennies in Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol. I was aiming for 1.5 pounds a week. I will take 1 pound a week! i am aiming for 23 more, so that is 12 to 23 weeks for me. Now, just…

Ok, so I eat about 1/2 of my exercise calories, because, like a previous poster said, most people underestimate the amount of calories eaten, and overestimate the amount of calories burned. While this site seems to eliminate alot of that, i just want to be sure!! My history in weight loss: I went from 230 pounds to 168…

I am still on week 7. But last night we only jogged for 15 minutes b/c it was so hot and humid. (then we walked for 50 minutes) Also, I think my BF runs faster than me, and i probably should just do my own pace, and work up the speed. So, I will do my Day 2 on Friday and Day 3 on sunday. Have to adjust it around my pesky…

Well, finished W6D2 today! It wasn't easy, already hot and humid here at 9 a.m. on Cape cod. The last few minutes were tough, but i just slowed my pace. So I made it, yeay! The 15 minute walk back was the hardest, actually. Day 3 is coming on friday. So far, have lost 4.7 pounds since starting back. How is everyone else…

check out: www.collagevideo.com. They have 100's of DVD's. you can watch a sample of any DVD, and the give you an exact breakdown of what is in each DVD, like 20 minutes aerobics, 20 minutes toning, etc. And you could certainly buy one that is all toning, if you want...........

Hello Everyone! I am new here as well! Excited to find C25K here. I am trying to lose 30 pounds, have lost 3.5 so far. This is my week 6 of C25K. I did Day 1 yesterday, and it was easy, wow! My BF accompanied me on the trail, so it was fun. The end of the week is daunting, 25 minute run. But I think day 1 and day 2 are…
