Where do I go on this site to join you guys?

Thanks!

Well trust me, if I can do it so can you! I have the luxury of having a treadmill at home (borrowed from my parents). I started walking 30 mins a day first and then decided I wanted a "program" to give me a goal. So far this is working although I am scared about Week 3. Although I will push through it.

Thank you! I try not to compare myself to others on here and usually am pretty good about it. However lately I have been feeling discouraged and then I see how everyone else is doing and it gets to me. I am not skinny at all but there are people out there bigger than me and they seem to be doing okay.... I am going to keep…

This made me smile! I have the same little B#$% in my head and she just won't let up!

No I have regular sneakers that I have been using. I believe I need to get me some running shoes. Thank you for the suggestion. When I read how fast others are going I feel quite defeated. I do the brisk walk at 2.7 and then the jog at 3.5. I can't get anywhere near what everyone else is without actually running.

That is great! Keep it up!

Wow there are a lot of people doing C25K out there. I am not a runner, never have been. However I wanted to push myself and see what I could do. I just finished W2D2 yesterday and it is kicking my butt. How are you guys getting up to 4-5 to jog? I am down at 3-3.5. Does anyone feel tightness in the outside of their ankles…

Okay, I have read the link that you provided and I have looked at the external sites to calculate my TDEE. I get most of it and I can see now that MFP does not include EAT in the calculation so I need to eat my exercise calories back. However, I really get confused when it starts talking about setting the percentages for…

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! I need to go home and figure out my TDEE. I don't know what I just did on here when looking at my goals, but now my intake says 1370! Ugh! I don't think I am ready for that. I cut out most breads, pastas, rice, potatoes, etc. For most dinners we make a protein and vegetables. I…

Actually and surprisingly for me, I have been able to successfully switch to water. The only other thing I drink is wine. There is the occassional (once in about a month) soda.

Honestly I don't understand how that works. If I exercise and eat my allotted calories, shouldn't I lose weight? How does eating more to make up for what you burned, right? Am I looking at it wrong?

You are awesome! I am adding you as a friend and as my inspiration that it can be done! :smile:

So who has the Jawbone Up and does it really work as it says that it does? I think it is a neat idea and wouldn't mind trying it out.

I just cleaned my house yesterday and I did what I consider to be a normal cleaning - bathrooms, dusting, sweeping, and vacuuming. I put it as light house cleaning. I would say if you mopped the house with your hands, that would be more vigorous...IMO. Hope this helps!

That is awesome! Congratulations!

You look great! Congratulations! One question though....what is 30DS? :)

It was, thank you for recognizing that. If others had been as helpful as you and another member who told me I probably posted too early...I would have been much more appreciative.

How do I delete a post?

Thank you! I have failed miserably before if I make certain foods off limits to my diet. I find figuring out how to eat better is probably how I am going to be successful. Thanks!

My goal is to not have sodas at all. I am doing excellent in regards to quitting them. I drink so much water I slosh! LOL Every now and again I want one, but I am not craving them as I once was.

Those who are being negative can quite replying. This site is supposed to be positive.

I guess I didn't post correctly. I am there and I am doing okay for losing weight. Since I began I have lost 4 pounds. It is coming off one pound a week, which what I read is pretty good. I do realize that I need to stop eating out. I am getting there with that. The hurdle I am trying now to overcome at home is that I live…

I have done really good at drinking mostly water. When I do have a soda, it is only one. I have honestly tried hard to switch to diet soda for that "fix" but it gives me headaches.

Thank you!

I am cutting down on how much I eat out. When you see something twice, like Dominos, it is the leftovers that I am eating. I don't estimate on things that I can find the nutritional information form. Hard to do for sushi and other things that are fixed at home. That is the difficulty I am having.

Thank you but I am already giving up on getting help from people who are so rude, unlike you. Thank you for the help though.

Thank you for your positive response. I can't believe how mean spirited and rude people are on this site. So much for positive support....

Thanks for the advice. I didn't think about the time when I did it.

Not whining but thanks for the observation. Nice to be judged by those who don't know me.
