I just started using the E-gym at my Y. Anyone else? How best to log the exercises?

I am too.

Swim lesson today. Struggling with getting high elbow with freestyle and doing dolphin kick with weak abs. But still trying.

Thank you, Juliet!

1/2 hour swim lesson today

Thank you all!

Thank you!

67 year old beginner here. Wanting to be courteous when I have to share a lane I read all the “You know what I hate.......You know what I hate” pet peeves posted here. Trying hard not to laugh too much at the “older water aerobics ladies” comments as I am one of those ladies, I am having some difficulty understanding some…

Thank you all for the good advice. I have been doing cardio first as I feel I need to do a warm up before I use the weight machines. I have been walking on the treadmill on an incline or using an elliptical machine on an aerobic program for about 35 minutes before going on the machines. I eat well, and do wait one day…

Me too. New start today. 1200 is difficult but doable with support.

So far it doesn't sync with MFP. Very disappointing.

See this article: http://www.self.com/blogs/flash/2012/02/the-best-sports-bra-for-big-bu.html My well-endowed friends swear by Enelle. Good luck and happy shopping.

Great news! Keep us informed.

I will try that, thank you. Once I do it I'm sure I'll develop some confidence but don't know how to translate the pace into running in real time.

The guys in my zumba class wear shorts and tee shirts. It gets plenty hot and sweaty in the room.

Been struggling. Finished W5D3 long run for 20 minutes last week, very tired, but did it. Did W6 Days 1 and 2 pretty well but cant seem to make the jump to finish the 25 minute run. Tried it twice and seem to poop out around 18 minutes. Part of it is mental-- fear that I won't be able to complete the run since I didn't do…

Go walk in the shopping mall. Everyday go a little bit farther. Listening to audiobooks helps to distract and helps get your mind off your discomfort. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't give up.

I use fat free 1/2 and 1/2 by Land O Lakes. The fat free version is 15 calories per 2 tablespoons. Land O Lakes also makes a low fat version which I believe is 25 calories per 2 tablespoons. Skim Plus makes a similar product.

I'd ask your doc if you could swim, do water aerobics, or walk in the pool.

I'm not very alert or creative at breakfast time. I've been eating the new Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwiches. There are 3 types: Egg with Vegetable and Pepper Jack Cheese (180 cals), Ham, Egg and Pepper Jack Cheese (200 cals), and Sausage Egg and Cheese (240 cals). Not as good as home made, but for a quick (1.5 min…

Although the Almond Breeze carton it says use within seven days of opening it does keep in the refrigerator without spoiling. I wish that it would come in quarts instead of 1/2 gallons though.

Didn't like the Dannon one either. Tasted chalky to me. The Fage and Chobani brands are the best IMHO.

Decided to try swimming today. Did 12 lengths in a 25 meter pool for a grand total of 0.18 mile! Not too much mileage but glad I attempted it.

3.5 treadmill miles today.:happy:

Only 1 mile today.

Did 2.5 miles on underwater treadmill today.

I'd love to join the MYAC! My goal for *kitten*="strong">January is 100 miles. Today I did 3.25 miles:happy:

Great effort everyone! I am so proud of our efforts to get off the couch and become runners, fast or slow. Best wishes for a healthy, happy, prosperous, and thin new year!

Thanks all for the advice. I ended up repeating the week and today I finished W5D3! Phew! I was exhausted, but I did it. Looking forward to starting week 6 and going back to intervals.:love:
