I just found out about it around New Years. I joined a 6 month Transformer and a 4 week Kickstarter. I find the Transformer a more solid bet for me since it's a slower pace but I was hoping to get a kick in the pants from the Kickstarter. The basic premise under the 6month is to lose 10% of your starting weight in that…

I do love John Oliver! But he hit the nail right on the head. Dr. Oz is a symptom of a larger disease. An incredibly annoying symptom that could manage to kill us in it's own right, but still a symptom nonetheless.

I hear and empathize with every word you just wrote. I too am Canadian and this winter is just incredibly brutal. Hasn't been like this since I was a little kid. I was just diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for the first time about three weeks ago. There is also some question as to whether it might be my…

So, I should have started Week 3 yesterday. But, I came down with a nasty sinus infection so that got put off. I'm hoping that I'll be ok to start up again tomorrow but in the even that I have to wait for the weekend or later, would you repeat another day of Week 2 or go into Week 3 as planned?

I love the accountability of this thread (it's so easy to give up on a new exercise plan). I just finished W2D3 today - still feeling pretty good. Trying not to think about running 3minutes next week :)

in Daily Check In Thread Comment by galipemi1 November 2013

It calculates that from day to day based on your intake. Your diary is closed so I can't see what you ate, but I'm guessing you were over the MFP recommended calories for the day - and by quite a bit. It's basically saying that if you kept eating at that level, you'd be going up in weight (although, we all know 500lbs in 5…

in MFP says I'll be 500 lbs in 5 weeks...help? Comment by galipemi1 November 2013

Thanks vardaemi! I actually just did W2D2 today. I was worried, it's really windy here today and it was raining and I just wasn't feeling it. I actually finished the whole thing before I knew it. And faster than before :) Not by much but enough to be pleasantly surprised. I don't check my pacing until I get home, I just…

Just finished W2D1 - not too bad! I was able to run nearly all the intervals, but the very last one was mis-timed, came just as I hit the hill to climb out of the valley I run through. I still made it about half way up at a "run" before switching to walking. Question about pace - does it tend to get faster through the…

You can totally do this! I know all about that dammned little voice. The little voice is stupid and doesn't know what it's talking about, don't listen to the little voice! I just finished week one and let me tell you, I'm the furthest thing from fit you could hope to find. I even came close to failing gym (and who fails…

Week 1 Day 3 complete. Wasn't my best, but I accidentally ran 90 seconds instead of 60 (and could do it!) right at the start and my shins were burning through most of the run/walk cycle. I tried to stretch out good today and tomorrow I'm trying yoga so hopefully I'll be ready to go for week 2 :)

in Daily Check In Thread Comment by galipemi1 October 2013

I just completed week 1 day 2 today. I was surprised at how ok it felt! Aside from some burning/tightness in my shins everything felt ok, including my breathing. The last time I thought I'd try this running thing, I was so discouraged by the leg pain/muscle fatigue and my breathing was all over the place - I got winded so…
