Hey all -- day 1, week 2 of C25K for me last night. Didn't so well with eating but today I start with my clean eating ways! I started off the morning with steel cut oats and a tbls. of organic honey. I'm excited to see what sort of food possibilities this will bring on!

Good Morning! I finally got some heavier weights last night and did Burn Circuit 1 with 15 lb. weights (for the lower body stuff)...wow! I feel great today. Tonight is going to be day 1, week 2 of C25K, hope I can keep up! Have a great day!

Yeah, I tried TJ as well but it felt like Chalene was leading a cheerleader's group! She is totally different in CE -- much more motivational but not too perky! I will have to look into Superfoods RX, the hard part now is trying to turn my boyfriend into a clean eater too so all those tasty treats aren't lying around…

Hey brangwen and welcome! Awesome that you're starting tonight - I am on Day 1 of Week 3 today so we will be doing the same workout! I am a relatively OK eater but have been doing some research today looking for "clean" recipes. I am thinking I might stop by the local library and pick up the "Eat Clean Diet" book to get…

Thanks for all the reassurances everyone! I have to really force myself tonight, I am super tired from my first day of school yesterday....

jcl - Welcome, glad you joined in! We would be happy to hear how the program goes for you once you start. I have been trying to convince my boyfriend to do it with me but he is reluctant so far! Are you planning on following the food guide as well? lilangel - Thanks for the encouragement, it's great to hear of people with…

Dawna - Thanks for posting! I am definitely planning on getting heavier weights today (even thought the lighter ones are hard for me as it is!) I like it a lot so far as well. My boyfriend and I have also decided to purchase a treadmill (which we are getting tonight YAY!!) so I am planning on starting C25K on Sunday. Are…

Well, this is my first Beachbody workout and actually my first attempt at some sort of weight training and...I love it so far! I have only done 4 days so far but the workouts seem to be between 30-45 minutes long. The program comes with a day by day schedule -- 5 workout days and 2 rest days (I take pilates classes on the…

A good taco salad is always quite delicious..they usually have them with chicken or beef

I just got the Polar F7 on eBay for $99.00 brand new in packaging - check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/POLAR-F7-HEART-RATE-MONITOR-BLUE-FREE-PRIORITY-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ220520435570QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item33580acf72 Pretty sweet deal for a great device!

I had for about 2 weeks and...don't let the tan girl with the 6 pack fool you! Mine started getting really scratched up within the first week, it was unstable and I don't think it would have lasted very long. Yes, you can get a decent cardio/ab workout from it but you can't just expect to sit in front of the TV - you…

Hi Healthworks - I will not following the nutrition plan either (I don't even have the book!) Your plan sounds pretty good to me. I ordered the Polar F7 HRM (got it really cheap on eBay). I was hoping to start the program as soon as I get it which should be in the next day or two....Would love to start together and keep…

Hi Healthworks - I am also planning to start CE in the next week or so...just waiting on a new heart rate monitor to arrive. I wanted to ask you if you were going to follow the nutrition plan for it as well..

Yes!! I have the exact same problem! Sometimes we go out to dinner on the weekends and sometimes I go visit my parents and just eat what I want...it sucks! All that hard work throughout the week and then I just go and ruin it! I am up for some weekend accountability!

When I go out for Mexican food I usually get a taco salad (with chicken, not beef). Enjoy!

Hey - also just started the Shred today...well technically I restarted it! I had been logging it as 20 minutes of circuit training (that's what other people have told me on here...) Good luck!

Ugh indeed! I know just what you mean...

Thanks to both of you for all the help! The only thing I worry about right now is purchasing all of the equipment that is used in the program - I am starting school in January and need to try saving some money! I really like the look of this program though, hopefully I will be able to start soon. Thanks again! Yasmine

Thanks so much for all the info Tami, definitely helpful! Did you guys purchase the program off her website? I would really like to try it out... Is there a lot of jumping around during the cardio segments? I live on the second floor so I need be a little quieter than most! ~Yasmine

Hi Ladies - Excuse me for being ignorant, but which Cathe program are you currently using? I am considering either her STS program or Beachbody's ChaLEAN Extreme. I like the fact that STS is different every day as I tend to get bored easily. What do you guys think? Have you had good results with Cathe's programs? I do not…

Have you ever done the P90X? I am thinking of getting that one or another of the Beachbody programs but am skeptical! I tend to lack motivation sometimes so I don't want to spend all that money and end up not doing it!

I understand where you are coming from, don't worry I will be safe about it : ) Thanks for the heads up on my profile, I changed it now.

Great, thanks for the info!

Thank you! I will definitely check them out.

Yes, it has been quite helpful to me. I enter both my food and exercise diaries first thing in the morning and it certainly helps keep me in check for the day. I find that since it is all ready "set in stone" I feel the need to follow my plan. Good luck!

Hello - I wanted to ask your opinions (if you have tried) any of Cathe's stretching videos. I was looking for some good ones online that were not Yoga based and came across hers. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Yeah, it was hard for me to learn English because of that!

I speak Hebrew

I would like to start this program as well. Are you going to be running outdoors or on a treadmill? When do you think you will be starting? Perhaps we can do it together...
