  • Try a fruity, low-fat yogurt, 30-60 min. before your workout. I love Kroger's Greek yogurt (it's all natural).

  • Alright, guys, here's my attempt at organization. I've created an e-mail account solely for our c25k group. The address is: c25kteam@yahoo.com. This is where you can send your progress to me so that I can put it into a spreadsheet. I will then e-mail the spreadsheet to "dontstopnow" who will turn it into a screen print and…
  • Yes, yes, and yes...please join! I think a good goal would be for all of us to have the 1st week of c25k finished before Sunday. Also, have your weight loss for the week also recorded by then (I like to record my weight loss Friday-Friday, but we'll just figure out an organized routine for our week 2). Does that work for…
  • Ultimately it's calories in vs. calories out. So, as long as you're not adding extra calories on top of a full day, then you should be okay. Also, it's best to avoid carbs (even fruits...yes, those are carbs) within the few hours when you do go to bed. The science (which is all weight loss really is) behind that is…
  • There are quite a few of us that are starting the couch to 5k app this week (it only requires you to do it 3x per week). Read about it and really consider it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/247329-couch-to-5k-start-today?hl=couch+to+5k&page=2#posts-3268150 or search couch 2 5k...start today

  • We're starting the couch 2 5k program. It'd be a fun thing to do and might kick those last 10!

  • I'm in the same boat; new to this "community" thing. Join the couch25k program with us (we just started today)! It'll be a great way to stick to it and be held accountable!
  • We started the couch 2 5k today. Search "couch 2 5k...start today" or click on this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/247329-couch-to-5k-start-today

  • Yikes! Not sure how to screen print or even what that is. I'd love the help! I was also thinking (could be a horrific idea); would EVERYONE be opposed to e-mailing me the information (You wouldn't even have to use your most-often-used-e-mail-address. AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. offer free services that would allow us to each…
  • I could easily do the spreadsheet. I am indeed friends with Excel and as a teacher with her summer off, I could use a little something to do! How does operating the spreadsheet generally work? Are individual results, weekly results, spreadsheets posted on here? E-mailed?
  • I know; I couldn't find an organized group that was just starting...so I started my own! I'm not sure if the couch to 5k app that I'm using (the green and blue one) has music already, but you can add the music from your ipod (I have the ipod touch 4G) within the program (so convenient). For anyone who can't get the app,…
  • Wow, can I relate! My pile of "used-to-wear" by far outweighs the few that I rotate! Your college experience resonated with me so much; I, too, went through a difficult first year of college and took it out on the scale. I lost way too much and have been on an up and down journey (of about 25 pounds) since 2004. I'll keep…
  • My grandpa has a rule that is, "Don't take the first one." I get his theory here: it's hard to say no to more after you get a small sampling. Look into the 17DD: it focuses on fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein...the things that should be on your plate (and you eventually get a cheat day- which is one of the things…
  • Look into the 17 Day Diet. I don't think that living on a restricted "diet" works, but the 17 Day Diet teaches you how a plate should look. You will honestly lose weight quickly and safely, which is great motivation to stay on track!
  • I started Saturday. I'm definitely not a runner, but it was very doable! I'm actually anticipating the run today. If you're downloading the ipod app, I recommend the teal and sage colored one. It's nice because it tells you when to switch from running to walking and it also allows you to use your own music from your ipod.…
  • I started today with Day 1. Good luck!
  • I started today. Good luck! : )
