Rarely...Cannot stop at one (or two) servings and be satisfied...All the added sugar and salt... Can eat one serving of oatmeal (regular or packets) and be satisfied....

I gain water weight every time I have pizza. Something about the sponge like quality of bread and the sodium content. It goes away in a few days though... I have never been able to out exercise a bad diet...

- YOU CAN'T OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET... - 30 min of aerobics can burn 200 - 300 cal. A full sugar soda/energy drink can easily erase this in less than 5 min. - Eat cleaner foods...You wont have to exercise as much (when you decide to take a break as we all do)... - Lower calorie foods allow you to eat more to stay full and…

Simple way to get more vegtables in your diet: Add frozen or cut up fresh vegatables to dishes you currently like.They add low calorie bulk to the dish and typically doesn't change the flavor very much. Double the size of a lean cusine by adding vegtables. Add brocolli to Mac and cheese. Try different vegtables and see…

Any drink under 10 cal/serving I log as water. (the majority of what I drink.) Other more caloric driinks I log as what they are...

Didn't have too much problem up to 20 min (W5D3) and greater runs. Working on the transition from 10 - 20 - 25 min. per segment. The longer the segment, the slower my avg speed is for the segment. Starting to repeat days and throw in shorter speed interval runs on the days in between.

Food 1. Eggs 2. Frozen Chicken Breasts/meat 3. Frozen vegatables/Fruit 4. Various sauces to improve taste 5. Bread/Pasta/Rice 6. Coffee/low cal sweetner Other food: 1. Running shoes 2. Bicycle

WTG! I have a 30 minute goal also. Its good to see one can achieve this shortly after finishing the c25k course...

I am at the end of W6 so I may be behind you. I am starting to plan for what is next. I would like to work on speed in addition to minutes run for the duration of the c25k program. I have thought about just doing the c25k program on alternate days and running shorter sprint workouts on the remaining days for speed. So far…

Most tech support people that I have known, while good at tech support, know nothing about cooking... Most search engines, e.g. http://www.google.com, can find "zuchinni recipies" instantaneously. You may want to try google... Just a thought...

My last week 6 segment is tommorrow. I noticed changes in body shape around w2 or w3. I am losing weight but attribute that to the calories-in vs. calories-out; Not just the effects of running. The weight loss has been constant while using this sight 0.5-1 lb/wk. My appetite seems to compensate for the extra calories…

I would add chocolate protein powder to Brownie mix and make protein fortifed brownies... Vanilla would probably work also...

I believe there is a Bridge to 10k (B210k)... Glad I went with c25k instead of the insanity route...What's after insanity? :laugh:

Plan to stop eating some time before bed (say 2 hours). Do not eat anything after this time for several days until you get use to it. Increase this time before bed every 3-5 days and let your body adjust. You will slowly stop craving food after dinner before bed. I have used this several times and has worked for me. You…

I find when I am not into the workout one day, I get dressed and just start my workout my mood changes when I get into the workout. Do a run that you're comfortable with. This will leave you in the mood to get back into running. I was pushing myself harder running than this c25k program has and I burned out and took a…

I have been to spinning 10-15 times this past winter at a local gym. The lower number was closer to what I was expending per half hour. It depends on the resistance you have the bike set to. The bike computer I was using provided this information during the workout.

I ran my W5D3 earlier this week. Was not as difficult as I imagined it to be. Just ran at a pace that I could sustain for a 20 minute period without getting fatigued or out of breath. I tried running W6d1 the next day since it has 5/8 min. running segments. Simple right? A mistake..Didn't get through the whole planned run.…

I typically run one of the following two areas: HS track or a park loop. The HS track is .25 mi loops and I use google maps to determine the length of the run in the park. I note the time and distance for the entire c25k run for the day and determine the average speed. This is the number I log in my exercise diary. The mfp…

1) A big smile and 2) Beaming Confidence!

I also completed the W5D3 20 min run on Monday. Since then, my legs and, in general, my whole body feels very stiff. Prior to this run, I had none of these issues. Didn't feel a need to stretch before but do now!

Not an expert. Just completed the 20 min c25k W5D3 run! I found a pace I could complete 20 min (up from 8 min) run that I would not have breathing issues. Once comfortable with my pace and breathing, i forgot about them, little aches and pains, and noise in my head. I use a mp3 player with music I enjoy. When I completed…

No headaches, but I get dizzy once in a great while. I find it is typically (very) hot when this occurs. I feel I need food or drink. Once i get something in me and am out of the sun, everything resolves itself shortly. Another thread yesterday, someone was asking about getting dizzy while running. The repeated thought was…

I purchased the chocolate flavored SOY protein powder from Walmart. It is sold in a smaller size than the whey powder they offer. I mixed it with iced coffee made with instant coffee and a sweetner packet. I adjusted the amount of powder I used based on the size of the glass or cup I was drinking out of. Smelled and tasted…

Thanks for sharing! :happy:

20 minute run is a physical as well as a mental challenge for most running 5-8 min. segments. End of week 6 is a 25 min run so there is a need to start training for longer (5k) distance times. No need to go back to the shorter segments if the longer segments are within your capabilites. Substitute the 20 min segment in for…

Running c25k to lose a few. Feel Free to add me...

I run outside when the weather is nice and warm. During the winter, I do spin classes and the treadmill at the local gym. I find that the spin class did not prepare me for hills in my area when I took the bicycle out in the spring. I find it is easier to run an equvalent speed on a treadmill than outside. I like the gym…

I run about 30 min a day (~ 200 cal). I typically do not eat all (or sometimes any) of calories expended for running. I am trying to drop a few lbs. I assume you are eating all of your running calories. Personally I do not see a need to eat back all of my calories. Otherwise I am wasting time exercising and spending money…

myPastaSalad: Rotini Pasta Chicken Tenders (or canned chicken) Stir fry vegetables No salt added canned diced tomatoes w/ oregano/garlic/basil No "In your face" salt taste but still quite tasty...

1. Week/Day? W5D1 tommorrow morning 2. How do you feel? Good, enjoying the time running, like the feel afterwards... 3. Repeat a week or day? No repeat weeks; have repeated days since I run 5 days a week (not 3) and I like to start new weeks after a rest day. 4. Add time or remove time from one of your runs? I typically…
