Very nice! I'm going to bookmark it. BTW, what tri suit are you wearing? It's very flattering? :flowerforyou:

Oh good grief!!! Thanks for the tip! :indifferent:

Yes, I'm referring to those. :frown: Unfortunately, my budget, no matter how friendly the price may be, will not allow me to upgrade to pedals and shoes at this time. I'm just going to have to keep practicing.

Thank you so much!!! I printed the map and I will look up the group on FB. :smile:

I loved it. I had never been a runner my entire life until I started the program. I used the app on my smartphone. You can also find it on www.coolrunning.com. Each run, I found my confidence and love for running grow. I've been hooked ever since.

I started with the Couch to 5K plan now I'm training for my second half-marathon. BTW, I love your InuYasha ticker! :love:

I'm more near 290/Cypress/249.

OK. Thanks guys! I'm going to keep trying. It's been less than a week so I'm not going to give up. The next time I ride though, I will probably go out to the country where there's little to no traffic. :noway:

I'm in Houston too! :drinker: This morning I did get my bike fitted, bought a helmet and some bike shorts. Very excited. Tomorrow I'll probably do my usual 6 mile morning run, but Saturday get a ride in and Sunday, I'll do some swimming.

I'm in Texas. It'll still be hot. :laugh:

HECK YES!!!!

Please read the article I posted Cal28. It REALLY will explain what's happening to your body and how to get through it. :flowerforyou: http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html

This article is a life saver for busting plateaus: http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html

I had a co-worker that always complained about her high blood pressure and other ailments and actually admitted she wanted to lose weight. So, when she told me that I was losing too much weight and that I was starting to look old :frown: , I replied (yes it's mean) "I'm still losing weight because I don't want to be…

Facebook is sooooo 2011! :laugh:

Anita! I have had body envy since 30 Day Shred. I was so happy to see her here. She seems so nice too.

I'm also on workouts 3 and 4 and my legs were/are so sore from the lunges and dead lifts :sad: , but I'm still enjoying the program. Excited about seeing the changes in my body. :flowerforyou:

Born and raised in Houston!

Thank you for sharing! You are defintiely want of "those girls" but you got it it with hard work and determination!

Well, I decided not to do the two a days. Life is just to busy right now, so I'll continue the program the way it is described. I did Workout 2 this morning which focuses on the back. Again, I felt it was fairly easy and my heart rate stayed fairly low through out the entire workout. I have to leave tomorrow morning early…

You're wearing a blue shirt.

I tried the image code. Will try again and yes, ma'am I NEED to be on this here thread. When you see the love handles, stuffing and fluff, in all it's glory, you WILL retract your statement! LOL!

18 more lbs. to go ...

I was on a birth control pill that was making me gain tons of weight. I hated it, plus my cycle became very irregular. I had my doctor switch me to another one that has made a world of difference.

I absolutely love this program. I used it in 2010 and from there on started running 5Ks, then 10Ks, and completed my first half marathon this past April. I'm training for a sprint triathlon now and another half marathon in November. I owe it all to Couch to 5K.

Congratulations!!! That is awesome!!!
