Just got my charge hr today. So excited.

there are some yummy protein shakes out there...i like EAS Lean 15...i make it with water and ice cubes and blend it up so it's almost like having a milkshake! greek yogurt is good...but watch out for the ones that are high in carbs...i've noticed that the ones that are light or low fat greek are higher in protein than…

great post!

i'm 5'2" and MFP tells me to do 1200 cals. i try to stay under 1000 and i workout everyday during the week. when i first started after i had my son, the weight loss was rapid probably because my body was used to a much higher calorie diet. I've been 1at 1200 calories (or close to) for a few years now...and it is much…

if it's more than 3 lbs i kinda freak out. i do best when i only weigh myself once a week on friday mornings...because i do my best eating and working out during the week. i have found that if i weigh myself again on monday mornings i'm 3 to 5 lbs heavier due to my weekend socializing. i too try to go based on how i look…

Just finished W4D2. The 5 minute intervals aren't as bad as I was expecting. Not sure if it's because I'm actually becoming a better runner or if I've just psyched myself up for running that long. Pace is pretty slow at just above a 10 min mile for those 5 min runs...and just under 10 min mile for the 3 min runs. Will…

I just finished W3D3...I actually did week 3 twice...last week and this week. I'm really nervous about week 4 with the 3 minute and 5 minute runs. My pace gets much slower the longer the run is. I'll be doing what you did...starting off at a nice slow pace and will have to think about what distance marker to focus on. I…
-
W2D3...will have to repeat the day tomorrow since i plan on running 4 days this week. pace was fairly good for the runs...for me. kinda nervous about starting week 3 as it has a 3 minute run in there. i don't think i've run a full three minutes (or more) since college.
-
W2D2 done. Had to run at noon today rather than 10 AM. It was HOT! Did fairly well though. Don't think I'll get to run tomorrow...but hopefully I'll get to walk that afternoon.
-
i walk or swim on my days off...or i repeat a session from that week. are you getting a good stretch in before you start your walk/run? that may help that muscle loosen up some before you get going on it.
-
i'm doing the timed version of C25K rather than the distance version. i think this may be easier? don't know b/c running for 20 minutes seems pretty daunting in whatever week that hits! i just finished W2D1 and it was pretty easy...but it's only 90 seconds of run with 2 mins of walk for 6 intervals. once i get to the 3…
-
I just started this again. I like the first two weeks so much I had just stuck with doing those intervals and never moved on. I think I'm ready to try the whole thing though. My motivation is to be able to do a mud run with my friends. I'm a soccer player and so you'd think I have this running thing down...but I don't. I…

the first part of the year was crazy for me too with all the wedding and honeymoon stuff. now that things have finally calmed down, i'm ready to get started again whenever you are! i just got back on MFP this week! i have not yet gone out and walked/ran a 5K. i did actually go walk/run on Monday though...think it was like…

this week is going to be tough for me. i've been a little sick since Sunday and missed my workout yesterday totally...which means i have to do at least 30 minutes today thru Saturday to make it happen. #3 and #4 are going to be tough. hoping to incorporate a walk to the part on Saturday. that should put me in a good spot…

are crunches considered situps? or do you want us doing full on situps?
