  • I did c25k a couple years ago and loved it, and after putting the weight back on and then having a baby, I'm ready to lose the weight once and for all and start the program over again. I did w1d1 two days ago and am going to do w1d2 tonight. I can't wait, I always feel so accomplished. I finished the program last time at…
  • Thanks guys. I'm glad I can finally workout a little. I'm still too sore to do much else, but I'm so glad I can do this. I love it!
  • Oh I'm a stay at home mom so I can cook, I just pack my husband's lunches for him. He has a fridge and a microwave at work.
  • Hi everyone. I'm new to this group. I'm a 27 year old stay at home mom. I just had our little girl on May15th. I am already 2 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight, but I started out with 70 lbs to lose, so I'm on a mission to lose most of that before we try to have another baby. We plan on TTC when she is somewhere…
  • Thanks :smile: I have my 6 week postpartum checkup in about a week and a half, so I'll ask him. I won't be able start working out till he gives me the ok then anyway.
  • A high protein snack is the best after a workout. Like a small protein shake or a hard boiled egg or egg white. Thats what I would have.
  • I knew you could do it!! Keep up the good work! I'm doing w1d3 tonight after work. I've been sooooo tired today cause I could not sleep at all last night, so hopefully working out will ware me out enough for me to get some more sleep lol
  • So I did w1d2 tonight after work with one of the dogs, and it was awesome :) The app for my itouch adds a minute of walking right before the cool down so instead of stopping to walk for 6 minutes I ran the last minute instead. I had been running really slow, but that last minute I pushed myself to go as fast as I could and…
  • Don't be afraid to move on to week two, you'll be suprised how easy it is after doing week 1. U should at least try it first and if you cant make it through the whole 90 seconds of jogging the first couple times go back to doing the 60 seconds. Its crazy how much we underestimate what our bodies can do. I know I did when I…
  • welcome mommared, were you on the same thread I was last fall? angie thats great that you could start at week 2. I'm so out of shape since last time. I had graduated the c25k last fall and have to start at week 1 again. :grumble: But at least I'm doing it again. Keep up the good work. I woke up extra early this morning and…
  • Yay I'm glad you're back. I was totally making up excuses not to work out all winter lol, but now I'm back on track. I saw that there weren't really any more c25k message boards anymore and I never would have made it all the way through the first time without the support on here for sure!
  • Just stick with it. It feels soooo amazing. When I got to w5d3 last time I remember thinking there is no way I can do 20 minutes straight and I got out there and ran 25 minutes at a nice slow pace and wanted to keep going. This program is amazing. It you can't believe what you are capable of until you try. I can't wait to…
  • Today is a rest day, but I am still going to do some strength training and take the dogs for a long walk. I hope the sun comes out today. Winters in Alaska are way too long, I want the snow to go away! But it won't be gone till the end of May :mad: oh well.
  • I use this app too its awesome. I made it all the way to the last week when I did it this summer and this app is the easiest. I only have an itouch and it works on them too.
  • krissybohaczyk: I'm starting completely over with week one, so I'll be right there with you. Thanks everyone for joining! I'm sooooo excited. We can do this! :wink:
  • coolrunning.com there is a link to the couch to 5k on there it gives you all the intervals and everything you need to know
  • Hey everyone, I've kind of taken a weight loss break the last few months sadly cause I've had a ton going in my life, so I'm back and ready to go and I'm starting the couch to 5k over again cause I lost amost 20 pounds doing it the last time :smile: So I was going to see if I could join your group.
  • I haven't done the video for 3 days, but my shower head is busted and have to use my parent's shower across the street until they replace the broken one in my apartment which they own. I'll start up doing it again tomorrow, but I might not be able to do it every day like I wanted to.
  • Well I did two days in a row of the workout, and I'm super duper sore LOL I am going to try to do this every day, cause its only 20 minutes and it totally kicks my butt. I'm still going to add extra cardio a few days a week and a couple other dvds. But I'm going to try to stick with the 30 day plan. LOL we'll see how it…
  • I'm totally in, I had to take a break from weightloss in October due to catching the swine flu and ended up being lazy and gaining most of the weight I had lost back :( So now I'm back on track now that the holidays are over and would love to the have motivation and support. I'm 26, I am 5'1' and currently weigh 214.0, my…
  • I am totally in, I got this dvd for myself for christmas and two other dvds of jillian's online and just got them in yesterday, so I'm starting today!! I can't wait. Monday, Wednesday, Friday are shred days and whatever other dvds I want to do, and Tues Thurs and possibly Sundays are cardio days at the gym on the treadmill…
  • I think its cooked. LOL that might make a pretty big difference :wink:
  • I didn't measure the oz of chicken or the exact amount of pasta when I dished mine out. that is why I put approx. You can easily figure out the calories on your own by measuring the chicken and the pasta. I used the smaller penne noodles, it said 100 cal per cup on the box, and used smaller cut fresh chicken breast from…
  • Ok so I used to talk to some of you guys on the other c25k thread and was about to graduate with all of you about a month ago, but I hadn't ran since I was sick a month ago sadly. I wrote on the other thread and no one wrote me back, so I figured even though I am having to start running the c25k from week 4 again instead…
  • sounds yummy
  • Thanks for the info on the flu thing too. I had mine almost a month ago and am just now starting to feel up to running again, but sadly since I don't own a treadmill I have to run outside, and since its really cold here in Alaska right now, its hard to breath while running without coughing. I used to be able to go 30…
  • Tea has no calories, so like she said if you put milk and real sugar, its around 20 if you only put one sugar packet and only a little milk.

  • I'm a barista and most syrups run around 70 or 80 calories for 2 tbs and closer to 100 if they are thicker. Hope that helps. I have a hazelnut white mocha twice a week and its totally worth whatever crap they put it it :wink:
  • I love that commercial, its great! :laugh:
  • Pretty much anything I can dance to. Lady Gaga Just Dance, Love Game, Poker Face, Rihanna Live your life, Britney Spears Womanizer, Circus, and others, Justin Timberlake Sexy Back. I love anything with a good beat!!
