Well, I just realized I could add a weight for a date before I joined MFP, so now everything shows correctly. :) Robert

Another 1/2lb is gone. It seems the last week of more calories is working! I'm now down 25lb. I lost 10lb before MFP, but I know know how to tell it that. :) Robert

I got my shoes swapped out today. Now that I am working on the 2 minute run sections I have noticed some pain in my arch from the shoes and also some knee pain. They swapped out my other shoes for a pair of Brooks Beast a full size larger. It appears my other shoes were also too small. I am looking forward to taking them…

Well, I have lost 0.5lb so I guess my body is adjusting. Robert

I just finished W2! I'm looking forward to the next 2 days off. :) Robert

I just completed the last day of week 2! I have gone 12.2mi in just over 3 hours and burned 2600 calories! Robert

Listening to Good Calories/Bad Calories audio book here and as of Saturday my percentages are below. 65% Fat 5% Carbs (I actually aim for about 20g net carbs) 30% Protein Robert

That could be, I will give it another week and see what happens. I have been such a sloth for so long, I'm sure my body is in shock. :) Robert

I am in the middle of Week 2, but I would love to join you guys! Robert

Congratulations! I am 3 weeks behind you, but I look forward to the next few weeks. Robert

W2D2 Complete, onward! Robert

Will do, I was more curious about the correlation with running, which is why I brought the point up.. :) Robert

That is what I changed my fat % to and somehow managed to eat all of my calories yesterday. I am finding cheese type snacks helpful on both accounts. Robert

I have cranked up my calorie goal from 1900 to 2200 and will try harder to reach it as I think this may be my primary problem. I am also paying more attention to what I am eating. I haven't had a problem staying away from carbs, averaging 20g a day, but my protein and fat percentages have been the opposite of what they…

Interesting that you mention that as I have been looking at the Primal information and learning more about it. I have to say that as part of the low carb eating style, I don't eat grains anymore and my stomach has become much more "stable". Thanks for the information! Robert

I just followed this measurement process and according to it, I'm eating nearly 1000 calories less than I should.. I'm not sure what to think about that.. Robert

Interesting thoughts everyone. I went literally from couch potato losing weight to running as part of the C25K program and the weight loss stopped. My average "run" consumes 400kcal but I have not eaten more than I did before, so that tends to point to not eating enough from my perspective. Still trying to figure out my…

No, honestly I didn't consider that, thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will keep going and see what turns up! Thanks! Robert

I found the stores here had several shoes to choose from, but one will feel right to you. I tried 3 different pairs before they felt right. In regards to price, I spent $120 and the online prices for the same shoes might be $10 - $15 cheaper, but I felt the difference was well worth the one on one time and help selecting…

Thank you everyone for your encouragement! W1D3 is in the books, still loving it. Running is something I never thought I would enjoy, so I'm quite surprised. Robert

That is my current plan after completing the C25K. I want to keep going and see what comes of it.. Robert

Thanks everyone! I did W1D2 on Tuesday and my wife joined in, it was great! I chose a flatter route this time and it was much easier, but I didn't feel as accomplished.. :) This evening will be W1D3, I'm so eager to go or to do more, but I don't want to mess up a good thing. Robert

Saima, I just went through this very same thing as I am beginning my C25K as well. I went to a local running shop and they looked at my feet, stance, and watched me jog to determine the best shoe for me. I found a calculator that tries to help recommend shoes on Runner's World that you may be interested in, it is located…

Fergie, I am in a similar situation, just being diagnosed last Monday with an A1C of 10.2%. Fortunately I had a head start in losing weight as I started eating better about a month ago and cut out all regular sodas, so I suppose my body was trying to tell me something was wrong. I have reduced my carb intake dramatically.…
