I make a custom exercise on here for my bodymedia fit adjustment. My MFP is set to show i burn 2500 calories a day. I almost always burn more than that so if for example my BMF shows i burned 2900 that day, I input my custom exercise for 400 calories and just put in 1 minute for the time. It is labeled Bodymedia Fit…

I did week 5 day 3 two days ago. Like you, on day 2 I thought it was pretty tough and like there was no way in hell that I'd be able to go 20 minutes without stopping. I fully intended to repeat day 2 and maybe try to add some at the end if I was able. I've been repeating frequently, and week 4 was especially tough for me.…

While I believe you should pay off your debts as agreed, I also believe that the revolving credit industry is overly predatory and sneaky in trying to make it as hard as possible to get out from under their thumb, particularly in regard to young folks who are trying to get started. The shenanigans they pull no longer…

After getting inconsistent brown rice results, I just cook mine in the oven now and it comes out the same every time. I use this recipe/method http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-brown-rice-recipe/index.html

Damn. I am blown away. Its so good, I thought he was lip synching at first lol. I have listened to a few others of his and love them. Amazing voice and creativity adapting that song like that. Holy cow. thanks for posting the link!

Congratulations! That is awesome :flowerforyou: You didn't happen to be on Diamond Head on the Tuesday May 1st did you? It would be too much of a coincidence, but your picture reminds me of the young woman half of a nice looking couple who were going up Diamond Head at the same time I was that day. They stood out from the…

I'm in week 5 (just did day 2) and what I've been doing if I feel the next run seems like a big jump, is repeat, but on last interval just go 30 seconds or a minute or even two minutes longer than the schedule says, if I can. This seems to give me the confidence to jump up to the next week. That said though, the schedule…

Great job! I'm on week 5 and I only go 4.0 jog so you seem super speedy to me :drinker: ! I love this program, I didn't really believe when I started that I'd be able to jog at any speed for any amount of time more than a minute LOL! I figure I'll naturally get faster as my weight goes down.

Wow. Just tested them and they are great! I paired with some of this dip: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/555071-yogurt-dip note: it is not a good idea to forgo the parchment paper and cook them directly on the plate. I had no parchment paper and 2/3 of my lovely chips were not able to be removed from plate! and…

I did not see in what context the abbreviation was used, but wikipedia says "Old Age Pensioner" ?? :happy:

Way to go! Prepare to be amazed by yourselves! I'm in week 4 and every time it is c25k day I can't quite believe I'm doing it! It is a fantastic program!

So far (i'm only in week 4 c25k) my favorite songs for running are Livin La Vida Loca, and Mambo #5. I also like Running Down a Dream and Every Little Step she takes and Message in a Bottle. Oh and Pink by Aerosmith. I need more though and so am happy of this topic for ideas!

Yay! What a great achievement, congratulations! Thanks for posting. I'm coming up on 50 myself and am in week 4 and its tough sometimes!

Very awesome! thanks so much for posting. I'm doing c25k and in the early stages of it and your post gives me inspiration! Enjoy your feeling of accomplishment, you deserve it!

Did week 4 day 2 today and feel really good about it!.. On day 1 I did finish the runs as prescribed but was really really struggling on the last 5 minute interval was hanging on the treadmill rails in a ugly fashion. Today I didn't have time to "psych myself up" for hours as I usually seem to do, because I had company…

You guys are doing so great! Great inspriration for myself, as week 4 is killing me :grumble: . But I shall prevail and one day join you awesome people who have made it to week 7! Thanks for the updates, I love reading them :flowerforyou: . That is very cool (I think?) about the coyote. I'm doing it on the treadmill so…

I just did week 4 day 1 and it about killed me! I was ok for the first two intervals (and feeling pretty awesome to be able to go 5 minutes!) but after the next 3 minute interval I totally stopped for one minute, then continued and on the last 5 minute interval was suffering the whole time and my form went to pot and I was…

OMG! Checking Amazon right now!!

This thread makes me glad I'm a reclusive type. For most of my life I've been very overweight (I'm 48) and I guess I've been extremely lucky because I cannot fathom the horrible things that people say and do that I am reading here. I've never been very socialable so maybe that is why, I'm not around as many people as most…

I did 1500 calories for about six weeks along with heavy exercise and not eating my calories back. I then a little more than 2 weeks ago upped my calories to eat exercise calories and maintain a 1000 deficit, or 1800 whichever is higher. I generally exercise 500 to 800 calories worth most days. I went up about 3.5 lbs and…

You look fabulous :)

My Bodymedia Fit usually reports more than my HRM during exercise, to varying degrees. My HRM is a Polar F7 that to my knowledge has no VO2 max test, and just computes it based on your age, weight, etc that you input. It does have a place to change it if you know what your VO2 Max is (I don't), and I know from…

Welcome! I'm on week three about ready to start week four and can't believe that in just a few weeks I've gone from barely able to jog one minute to doing five. If I can do it anyone can...its a great program!! Keep us updated on your progress!

Babyblues, I love your profile pic...too cute!

That is awesome! Must feel so good!

I've got super crackly knees and they hurt at a certain point when I squat down or go up and down stairs. And I need to lose probably 100 lbs. My knees have really improved tons (insofar as how far down I can squat without pain) since I started doing a lot of walking, squat exercises, and now, C25K. So many things can…

You are amazing :flowerforyou:

Made this today and it was fabulous! Thanks for posting it!

I got these at Walmart and I like them a lot! I'm not sure it was this exact model, mine doesn't have any button for navigating songs like some of the reviews mention, but it is Yurbud Ironman. http://www.amazon.com/Yurbuds-Ironman-Performance-Earphones-Black-10200/dp/B00503ZT9E/ref=pd_rhf_cr_p_t_1
