  • Hey Rippers! As promised, I'm checking in, just finished Week 1, Day 5!! I have to say, I so prefer morning workouts vs this afternoon/early evening workout....it sucked! LOL My goodness it felt so much harder than I remember just yesterday morning....I was sweating buckets and grasping for air. Oh well, sooo glad its…
  • Go Girl!! That is so wonderful...amazing results!
  • :Looking back on your journey and even now, what have you sacrificed to live a healthier lifestyle and to lose weight or get fit? Wow, I guess the one biggest thing (well, big to me) is curbing down my coffee addiction. Now it isn't just regular coffee, I admittedly was a STARBUCKS, CARIBOU COFFEE Snob:laugh: ...sometimes…

  • Morning/Afternoon/Day Rippers!! Whoo Hoo! Well DAY 5 is here for most of us, unfortunately I'm running behind and didn't get it in just yet:frown: But I'll blame the hubby, he wouldn't to do a walk around the local track, so Day 5 will be done later and I'll report back! So depending on which program you'll do, the 5 or 6…

(well at least 3x /week) So TODAY's QUESTION…
  • Hey Everyone! I got in Week 2, Day 2, today. Glad to have got it in, I'm trying to increase my speed in increments, and managed a 4.6 mph on my last 3 runs, and walking pace of 3.2. Overall with cool up and cool down, I was able to complete 1.63 mile. ...so slowly progressing, the runs aren't bad at all. I think I'm going…
  • Really ...best is all relative, it depends on you and your fitness level, time, schedule, focus, etc. You may want to check out collagevideo.com they have a complete break down of exercise videos (including time, areas focus, USER RATINGS, etc.) It's a great resource!
  • Are you primarily running outdoors, I take it? (and not on a treadmill)? Do you own an IPOD? There are Podcasts which have the C25K running program with music downloaded on them that give cues as well, if that is an option for you....
  • So today I want to talk about struggles...where is the one area you struggle in most when it comes to your weight loss journey? Well honestly, my main problem is and continues to be is eating/snacking throughout the day-coupled by late night eating. Although lately I've been incorporating some healthier choices, it is a…

  • Wonderful progress!! You're looking pretty cut there :smile: can't wait to get there too! Awesome results!!
  • Glad to have found this thread...I just started the program last week, myself....great advice everyone!
  • If you can edit the title ( If it will let you- don't really know) to drop the week 1, (so people don't get confused) then you could keep it going...otherwise perhaps you might want to start another one to say "week 2" or a generic one altogether to keep it going... But on another note! I'm reporting in completed Day 1, of…
  • No disrespect intended....but I think this question should be posed to a treating physician versus an open forum.
  • Greetings Ladies, To answer todays' topic, which body part would I want to alter and why? Definitely my stomach/abdominals, I don't remember having a completly fat and ripped ab. So that is something I would love to have, don't know if it will ever get there without "muscle tightening" aka abdomnioplasty as I admittedly…
  • Wonderful! Let's get it in Rippers!! I know its difficult to get it in, in the morning, heck I'll probably alternate mornings and evenings myself, ...pretty much will be a day by day type of deal. As of right now, I have to get my *kitten* moving up out the bed by 5:30 am :grumble: in order to get the workouts in. So,…

  • Hey Inkdgirl! Wow, You're doing it! I'm definitely going to have to work up to that speed ;) although I realize for me, its just not going to happen overnight. I know when I read the general rules for the C25K, it recommends that you take rest days, HOWEVER it also says that one would eventually add more runs to their…
  • Good Morning/Afternoon/Day Rippers!!! Well, MochaBlues is so proud to report that Day 1, Week 1 is behind her!:drinker: Well, I can say, it wasn't so bad, now that its over:laugh: I started this workout with my 2.5 lb Zumba weights, because I didn't want to start out with the 5lbs and I don't have 3lbs. Anyway, that Sheila…
  • Hey J Crew!! Just checking in! I finished Day 3, Week 1 Today! I did end up kicking it up a notch on my walk and runs, which explains why it wasn't so difficult for my last workout, I noticed I was only doing 2.3 mph on my walks and 3.2 during my runs, well, then I started trying to do the math in my head (challenging for…
