This is funny, my wife just strained her calf this morning and we are running our first half next weekend also. I will need to follow this thread for her. I did tell her that we could walk the half and I would be fine with that. Dave

My first will be the Detroit half in October. Lots of training time since I am a novice runner who has only done one 5K and haven't run much since this past october when Ipulled a calf muscle and lost all motivation to exercise. Dave

This is cool, I will need to get some new songs.

I am not sure why they have these times. I work at Chrysler and they run everything on 6 minutes, tenth of an hour. Break is 9 minutes long and lunch is 22 minutes. Been this way ever since I started.

I work M-F 11:42 until 7:42. Haven't posted much on this thread but have been reading everything. It looks like I am the opposite of everyone else. When the weekend comes I cut my sleep short on Friday and go to bed with my wife at night, then get up and spend Sat/Sun with the kids at sports and such sleeping Saturday…

Yes it is doable. I was like you and kept putting it off. Then one day I just said to myslef that I was going to do this. I started running and kept on going. You could always stop when it gets to hard and try it again later. I am now trying to do week 7, I have done one run on the treadmill but did not finish the second…

Hi everyone, just found this thread when I got home this morning. I have been on the the third shift at Chrysler now for almost 6 years and from the little bit that I read, am one of the few who like this shift. I have been on my new lifestyle since Jan. and have lost 38 pounds. I did put 5 back on when the kids were out…

I am going to try this just by starting to ride to work again. I have not done that ride since June and it is only 8km. Maybe tonite.

I saw those pouches at the Nike store yesterday. The salesman was trying to tell me that you could only use them in their shoes. Next time I'm out, I might pick one up and start tracking my runs.

Welcome cnance. I have done the shred with my wife, just get some heavier handweights for yourself. I was down to 175 at the start of the summer, but with summer and camping I have gained back 5 of that. I need to get back on track and get down to about 150 by the time I go to Florida in March. Great job to everyone who is…

I don't have the sensor but am thinking of getting one and had a few questions. I can't wear Nike shoes because they are not wide enough and I found that New Balance are the best for me. Could I buy the sensor and somehow tie it to my shoe, or does it sync up with the shoe somehow? Also can you use this to track walks also…

Wow, get well soon Casper. Can't wait until your back, You are one of the pillars here like others have said.

My wife is also on here and we have both lost around 36 pounds. We do weigh in together and our dinners are the same. Everything else is different. I find it easier having her going on this journey together.
-
Happy Birthday Casper. Enjoy your night with the family.

Well, I am a day late for the challenge and I did not make my goal. I actually gained a pound this week. This does not really surprise me since I was camping on the weekend and yesterday was my anniversary, so I haven't been eating the best. Actually I was eating okay, just too many brews around the fire along with some…

Check in Time. After a week of not eating very well but getting my exercise in, I was surprised to see that I have only gained a 1/2 pound. I came in at 175.5 this week. I am hoping to lose another 2 this week but I haed out camping on Wednesday and get back on Sunday, so it will be tough. I will post my final results on…
-
Morning everyone. My challenge is going very good so far. This morning I weighed in at 175, 5 pounds away from goal. I have started C25K and start W4D1 on Monday, along with biking to work 3 or 4 days a week. That is it for my exercise, still hoping to hit 170 by the 4th. Other good news, I finally hit overweight on the…

Morning guys. I lost another pound on the July 4 challenge. I am now down to 177. Looks like I won't hit my 170 goal but I should be able to get within a couple of pounds of it. Welcome to the newcomers and keep up the good work everyone.
-
Congrats. I can't wait until I can say the same thing, hopefully next week. Keep going.
-
Looks like I did something right this week. The scale finally started moving again. May 22 - 181.5 SW May 30 - 180.8 June 4 - 178. 6 July 4 - 170 GW I am going to see if I can keep this up and get down to the 170 range by the 4th. I use the Wii FitPlus to track my weight and I cannot wait for it go from obese to…

Morning guys, just did my weigh in and have not lost as much as hoped again. I had a real good week where i biked to work 4 out of the 5 days but I had a bad eating week. I started the challenge at 182 and today was 180.8. I haven't set a goal that I wanted to get to but I know that I want to get out of the obese range and…
-
I did do measurements after I posted this morning. I have lost inches everywhere, the most being the waist where I lost 2 inches.
-
I'm in but I will be weighing in on Saturdays. I am 39 and 5'4. I started MFP in January at 210, my goal then was to lose 50 pounds. As of this morning I am at 181.4 and seem to have hit a plateau, I have been at this weight for 3 weeks now. I don't get any weight training in because I don't have a gym membership, but I do…

Just checking in on the new one.

I'm still hanging around and reading lots, don't post much but I'll give us another bump

I work the third shift also and found that I eat a lot of fuit while working. I will measure out whatever I take and eat betweem jobs. The snack packs also work out for me. For the days that I want to eat, I munch on sunflower seeds and that helps with other cravings because they take so long to get to the seed.
-
I work a steady midnight shift and have been logging my food from midnight to midnight. It seems to be working for me as I have lost 20 pounds since the start of the year. I do agree that my diary looks funny but most days I am under my goal.
-
Thanks everyone. That is what I was going to do. I guess I was hoping some replies would come back with splitting the difference.
