Are you guys still doing this? I am starting soon and I am hoping there is a group out there!

How is everyone doing on this? I ordered mine and can't wait to start. I have been doing things on my own but need some structure lately!

awesome ideas! I can't wait to do the coconut milk one!

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I feel great and I have been working with a trainer lifting weights along with finishing the Couch to 5k and now I am on the 10k trainer. I haven't dropped a pound. In fact, I have gained 3. I lost almost 60 pounds last year through doing cardio alone (mostly zumba). Now I am trying to get…

This is a really dumb question I am sure... I have been going to a gym for 10 weeks now and doing cardio and weight machines. Why are free weights better? I bought the NROL book but haven't started yet- yep I am a little intimidated. But what is the difference between free weights and the weight machines?

I lost 40something pounds on WW too but am enjoying MFP much more. It's free, you don't have to sit in meetings, and the support is better, in my opinion. You are in charge of your program with MFP and in my case, I started working out MUCH more later on and therefore needed more calories, not less. I thought WW was too…

This is great! I am sure that you are much better off going at your own pace, no matter how long it takes :)

Thanks so much! You're so right- there was no AHA moment at all haha. I am sure I'll drop the water too :)

As of yesterday I am officially a C25K graduate! It's weird- I don't feel like I am ready though. Anyone else have that feeling? I signed up for my first 5k on November 1st. I am really looking forward to it. Family is coming to watch since I NEVER ran in my life and they are all proud. Oh and one thing in case you all…

I did week 8 day 1 yesterday. I had to walk twice for 30 seconds each time. In retrospect, I don't think I had to walk, but at the time I did... UGH. Tomorrow I will do day 2 which is the same plan as week 8 day 1 so we shall see. I'm nervous I am almost done but I guess I am doing it! LOL It's hard to imagine I am going…

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOO WAY TO GO!

You're right. I'm not in a race. I just have to psych myself out NOT TO STOP! I find myself checking the timer constantly wanting to. But if I turn over my phone and not look at it, I obsess on looking at it haha.....

I finished week 7 day 3 yesterday. Anyone else terrified to move onto week eight? I am! So I repeated week six day one today. It wasn't a planned run day but I felt like running. (Weird, so weird for me to say I felt like running)... I also have a slower pace than the app seems to recommend so I am trying to speed up a…

I love this thread! Congrats everyone :). I finished week 6 day three on couch to 5k today. Proud to say I ran for 22 minutes without stopping!!!!!!! That's my NSV :)

Yesterday I did week 6 day 2. I still can't believe how far I've come!!!!!!!!!! I've NEVER run before. I was a zumba queen (lol) and did workout DVD's. Now I am running and lifting heavy weights and I feel amazing! I plan to run an event where I live called Karaoke 5k on November 8th that I am really excited about :)

YUM! Chicken fried steak with cream gravy?

I met with a trainer when I first joined a gym 6 weeks ago. Before that I was doing zumba mostly with some exercise videos. I am a complete newbie to the gym, so I had no idea where to start or what to do- I have been following her instructions exactly. The trainer said since I wanna lose about 40 pounds I should do 30…

So inspiring! I can't wait to be just like you!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I am loving this app! I was never a runner before. I will do week 3 day 3 today and I am actually excited about it! I was scared when I started week 3 because it seemed like a big jump from the amount of running on week 2, but I did it. Nothing like the pride you feel when the run is over!!!!!! :)

You look amazing and should be so proud! It's so funny. I have lost about the same amount as you and don't see my own success as much as I see it in other people-- so seeing your pics is really motivating and makes me realize that I have lost too and have made a big transformation... Way to go!

You can do this. Think about how much better you feel when you are doing the right things and taking care of your body. Remember why you started. Don't do this for anyone else but you!!!!!!!!!!

I made this yesterday with a strawberry cake mix and diet 7up. OMG amazing. It's been a battle to stay away from it...

That's great if you're not selling anything. Not trying to be judgmental. But do a search on the boards of others starting groups like this and 99.99% of the time they are selling something...

So true...

HAHAHA THE BEST! EVER....

Hahaha on the sporks!!!!!!!! Too funny.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This all sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I also do shredded beef ones in the crock pot: - eye of round roast or something equally lean -bunch of fresh cilantro -chopped onion -chopped garlic -smoked chili powder -beef broth -pepper -salt -juice of two limes or so Cook till it falls apart, shred, and serve on warm corn tortillas. Of course with fresh avocado......
