  • Work stress! I started walking during my lunch hour when work stress gets to me. Plug my iPod into my ears, set the timer, start the tunes and I walk for about 30 mins. (I have an hour for lunch) It helps me a lot. I still do my work out in the morning, so if I need the lunch hour walk , it's bonus exercise I get to log!…

  • My current MFP goal is 45 mins cardio 5 days per week. This is week two and so far I've succeeded. As I'm just starting out on a regular exercise plan, I am focusing on getting my workout in, period. I am planning on working in some weight lifting (Les Mill Pump) in September. Maybe swapping two cardio days for two lift…

  • In 3 months....I would like to have reached my goal weight of 125 lbs. I'm currently 139 lbs. At 1 lb a week, I would be very close. In one year...I would like to have maintained my goal weight of 125 lbs, by continuing this new lifestyle of counting calories and working out at least 5 days a week.

  • Hi,Fitterthanbf, I'm new to this too. I googled 5:2 diet and it seems you eat regularly 5 days of the week and fast 2 days of the week (500 cals per fast day) . The fast days do not have to be back to back. For those following this lifestyle, please correct if I'm wrong. Hope this helped. Satch

  • I'm new to MFP. And I'm also getting started again. I find that journaling my food intake keeps me accountable. Who wants to write Breakfast: Tim Hortons Med Ice Cap, Tim Horton's Breakfast Sandwich; Snack 20 M&M Peanuts, etc... in their food diary every day! Exercising is a whole other story for me. I don't like to…
    in Getting Started Again... Comment by Satch131 July 2013
  • I followed a C25K also. There are so many different apps out there. And some are free. The one I use runs in the background, so I can listen to my own music. The app prompts me when it's time to run or walk and tells me for how long. The first few weeks your running/walking for maybe 18 mins. Then it increases a few mins…
