Thanks for all the advice. I just need to be accountable. I know I want to lose weight, and I know I need it--I just need to make it happen!!

Thanks for all the good advice! I am changing my goal to lose 1lb a week to up the calorie intake and see if that helps. I will also pay more attention to what kinds of foods I am eating!!

I try to eat well during the day...granted I've had my days. Today for breakfast I ate a grapefruit and a fiber one granola bar oats and peanut butter. For lunch I had a lean pocket chicken, cheddar, and broccoli and a grape fruit, and I just got done eating 6 saltine crackers because I'm starving and thats all I could…

Thanks for the support! I am actually really excited!! And knowing I have 7 months to prepare myself makes me a little more comfortable!

Well I am hoping that is what it's going to make me do. Now I have to go run even when I can seem to find all the excuses in the world not too:laugh:

lol yes there is...and now it's stuck in my head :)

I know, but I wish I could find the will power. I like it here. A lot of good people and support. I just get discouraged easily!!

back on the wagon! I finished week 3 day 1 last night...it was a little tough since I didn't run for the last 2 weeks, but I managed to get through it!! I have been having a problem though where my calves cramp up really bad after running and it really hurts to stretch them or walk for a few minutes after I'm finished…

Well I fell off the wagon. I am going to try to do week 3 day one tonight when I get off work. I was on week 2 when I quit...so we'll see how it goes...may have to redo week 2. Excited to be back!!

I work 12 hour days as well and am trying to find the motivation most days to get to the gym. I work out down at the gym at the hospital I work at, so I keep trying to tell myself it shouldn't be that hard to go downstairs and work out for 1/2 an hour. Once I am in the gym I usually do ok...it's just the walk down there…

I would be interested in these as well!!

I figured that was what my acid reflux was from! I hate it though because it's the one fruit I don't get tired of eating, and I actually look foward to my morning and afternoon snacks because I usually have an orange. Well I guess I will cut back then!

i did the same thing! ate like crap the last week and i feel sooooo sick!! Glad to be back on the wagon and i think my body is too!! good luck to you!

Molly McButter is a butter seasoning and I love it! I put it on my air popped popcorn all the time!!

I use miricle whip lite which only has 15 cals a tablespoon.

...well i put the c25k instructions in my calender wrong...glad I went back and looked at that. So I guess there are a couple of 10 min runs time and such before the big 20 and 25 mins runs....still I am terrified. One step at a time though...thats what i keep telling myself.

I have to say I am TERRIFIED of the transition from weeks 6 to week 7. I was writing them in my calender tonight and was thinking "how on earth does anyone expect me to go from running 5 mins, walk 3, run 8, walk 3 and run 5--to the next week of running 25 mins..." aaaah!!! I am really trying not to think about it as I go…

I'm not a big breakfast person, but usually I eat a piece of fruit. Today was weird day since I had to be at the dentist early and didn't wake up in time so I didn't manage to get breakfast this morning. My biggest problem with dinner is I work 12 hour days so I tend to eat dinner at work most of the time. Sunday I made a…

I did W1D2 last night! Felt great! I really didn't feel like running but once I was on the treadmill I was fine! See you Friday!

I ran my first offical W1D1 last night and though I was still sore from Saturday I pushed through it and made myself finsh! Usually I would just give up so I was pretty excited. The weird thing was this morning I was actually less sore than yesterday!! And I really am wanting to run again tonight but I am going to do some…

I guess I took the jokers out...but you could make them whatever you want! Thats the nice part about the workout!

well I didn't gain...but I only lost .8lbs this week :( I was hoping for more. Maybe next week!

I am like you! I can't weigh everyday because I will give up when I am not seeing the results! I just started making myself only weigh in once weekly. I am weighing in on Mondays since then it makes me watch what I eat on the weekends. This was my first full week of not looking at the scale and I was a little disappointed…

No I didn't measaure. I should have. I will have to measure so I can see if there are any changes between tomorrow and next weeks weigh in!!

Thanks! I feel amazing and am ready for monday!!!!!

Try weighing in once a week. Your weight is going to change day to day and it can get frustrating when you are looking at it everyday. It is hard because we have a scale at work and I used to weight myself in the morning and evening everyday, but I would get so upset when I would weight 2lbs more than in the morning. So I…

Look at the types of foods your eating! Today was much better than yesterday and even though your in the red-I usually don't worry about 100cals. Plus think of things like, how many almonds did you eat? Almonds though they are good for you are high in calories! So usually a handful is about all I can eat. Just remember…

I would make an appointment with your OB/GYN and have them check to make sure it's still attached. I work in the Emergency Room and we see woman all the time that have IUD's that the strings detach and they have horrible pelvic pain.

I would love to join! I am planning on starting on Monday January 4th. I use the gym at work and I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday so I am going to try to do my running on those days and do some strength training on my days off from running. I tried a program similar this past summer and didn't make it past the first…

I usually take lean pockets-they come in all sorts of flavors and are whole wheat. I had a ham,turkey and cheese one today for lunch and it had 260 cals and 500mg of sugar which isnt too bad!! And then I just paired it with a container of yogurt and water.
