  • Yes, I am finishing Week 1 tomorrow. Looking forward to moving on to week 2. 4.0 is a good incline. When I was doing cros-training on the treadmil before starting the C25K program I woud do a few minutes at 5.0 bump up to 7.0 go back to zero. I tried to incline my run but I whimped out after the first minute. Guessing I…
  • great to see some wonderful positive attitudes - mine is getting better. :)

  • great job adding incline! rock star!!
  • Sieryannah - you make a great point. The journey can be just as great as the finish. When you posted thsis I immediately thought of how my husband and I always agree how much fun it is traveling to our vaca destinations as getting there. I am having fun on this journey compared to the past failed attempts. Thanks.

  • Week 1 Day 1 finished - not bad felt pretty good.
  • DON'T GIVE UP!! Big deal so you ate a bite of pancakes I mean it's not like you ate the never ending pancake pile at IHOP. You record it and move on and make a better choice next time. You are already on a great weight loss journey and making change is hard. I find if you allow yourself a treat now and again you can go…
  • You don't have be a week behind - just join in on week 2! No biggie!!
  • Great to see you are starting training for your run. I should run outside as I have a track, at the park across the street, from my house. I just do it as my cardio at the gym after I do strength training.
  • I track daily (except for 2 or 3 days in the beginning) and have been using MFP for almost a month now. Congrats on your current loss you have really done great! Feel free to add me.
  • I am motivating and need motivation as well. Feel free to add me, anyone can. I am on everyday and will shoot you a note if the computer says 'has not logged in for 3 days'. I sent you a friend request.
  • I track my water daily and add all the calorie drinks I consume for example my small Starbucks coffees or milk. Anything with calories I add.
  • I am in the 290's but close enough to 300 to share - the tips above are fantastic and great to follow - but here is something to remember. Everyone is different, so listen to your body. I read a lot of posts where people walk at 3.5 to 4.0. I am amazed because the fastest I can go without pain starting is 3.0 - 3.2. Yes…
  • Well according to WW that is a measurable liquid (haha not that I haven't spent hundreds of $ to know) way to go on the H2O!
  • I have the same problem! This will be what I work on next! :)
  • I am very active on MFP - very positive and motivating. sent you a friend request. Anyone can add me I love working in groups! lol
  • Ok here is my week challange which is to get my bread consumption under control. I am not going to over eat the challah like I did today - I will have will power if I can do it with Chick-fil-a I can do it with bread!
  • WHOOP WHOOP I made my goal! I drank all my water, logged everyday, and exercised Tuessday am/pm, Wednesday am, Thursday am. Not too bad. How did everyone else do? Keep working hard week 2 challenge is waiting!
  • Welcome to the group!
  • You are funny. How was your workwout with your trainer? I have not done my circuit with mine in about 2 weeks just because the schedule has not worked out. Give details!
  • SO exctied to see a nice group joining the challege - 5 lbs or 7 lbs I know we can do it!
  • Great job everyone! I have hit all aspects so far with my water and exercise and love reading the progress of everyone. @firstloveyour I understand about tornado warnings and do not blame you there. I live in an area where they will start very soon. Stay safe.
  • Way to go! Sounds like you are in the right directionm with listening to your body and making progress. I have done well with the one minute jogs only because I am not jogging at a fast pace. I walk at 3.0 and jog at 4.0. The program says to start off at a slow jog and the speed will come later. I guess it is all about…
  • OK, So I did day 1 today for the treadmill. Was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Before heading out I read the directions and was excited to read that you could repeat weeks. my legs are killing me lol
  • Sent you a friend request = you don't have to be alone!

  • ok here it is May 1 weigh in 293.8
  • so far so good for the week for me. Monday was a struggle (emotionally) but I went to the gym yesterday (Zumba last night) and today. I am so far under calorie goal, drank my water, and tracked - happy hump day!
  • MFP has me at 2040 and I try to eat all of them (sometimes I actually do). I really try to eat some of my exercise calories back especially if I am doing an am gym workout and Zumba in the evening. Depending on what I have eaten I am just not hungry. For example yesterday I didn't even reach my MFP let alone eat the…
  • Ok well here is another mini success I want to share - in Zumba we do this move where we are dancing then we basically drop our booties to the floor and bounce back up - well in the past I just squatted because I thought this big booty is not coming back up - well tonight I said I am going to try. Not only did I do it, but…
  • Thanks for the advise! What would you recommend?
  • So excited to see everyone accepting the May challenge! Don't forget to weigh yourself tomorrow (May 1st) to have a starting weight. You do NOT have to share if you don't want to. Let's shed these lbs!!
