Eat less, move more! :tongue: That's the plan I'm on! I log everything I eat, and try to get some form of exercise daily. I need to add more strength training though, and am not sure how to fit that in. ETA: I've lost 22 pounds in 41 days. Crazy.

Yay! Sounds great marion!

Thanks Bru! I can't wait to send out my postcard!! Will post results after I have heard back from everyone!!

I was going to suggest more protein as well! Also, try a B-Complex vitamin!

In the 150's you mean!! Good for you! I can't wait to be there myself!!

Bumping again! We need more challengers so that hopefully someone can beat nthkl, LOL!

Good morning all! I had another good week! Down to 178.0 from 180.6! Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

We're almost there!!!! Weigh in day is tomorrow!!! You can post your weight here, or send me a message. If I haven't heard from you I will send you a message as well! Good luck!!!

Bumpity bump!

Wow! you look awesome! What an inspiration! :drinker:

Just bumping for more challengers! Link again: http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_CA/plus/#//challenges/detail/2086712138/

Yep, that's me! I'm sometimes surprised that my Nike Sensor shows my speed increasing from walking at all, LOL! Very cool that we have 5k's on the same day! I'll be thinking of you as I approach the 40 min mark and am crossing the finish line!! :bigsmile:

Have you looked into the Nike+ Sensor? It's quite affordable, and attaches to your shoe and uses an ipod/iphone. It will give you feedback regarding your pace, calories burned, distance, etc. http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_CA/ Here is my run from yesterday. C25K Week 3 Day 1: http://go.nike.com/06lmqf59…

For those of you looking for upbeat music to run to, I highly recommend Robert Ullrey's podcasts, great tunes, and he gives cues as to when to change pace as well! http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/page4/files/rss.xml Finished week 3 day 1 yesterday, and I loved it! I feel like it's getting easier, and I even kept…

That is fantastic Congratulations on reaching your goal!!!:drinker: :drinker:

You should Dave! I think you will really love it! I find the feedback very motivating!

Way to go Tina!! Gotta love the little things!

lizz - oh yay! That makes me happy! I wanted to get the new one, LOL! Dave - I don't use the Nike shoes either, I have Asics, but you can buy little pouches for 5ish dollars that attach the sensor to your laces! And you can definitely use it for walking also! I'm on Week 3 of C25K so I still do more walking than running!!

Yay! We're up to 6 runners now! Keep 'em coming!

Okay here it is! http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_CA/plus/#//challenges/detail/2086712138/ It starts tomorrow, and runs for 31 days. Good luck everyone! And for the record, I'm only on week 3 of C25K - So I will rank near the bottom, I am sure! But I love the motivation!

Yay!! Well, I'll go ahead and make one then! Hopefully more people continue to join! xlizzislegend - WHAT??!?! I'm using my Nano right now, but was going to get an iphone, and get the 3G, instead of the 4 because I heard Nike+ wasn't supported on the new one, but now it's not in the old one either?? That DOES suck! Okay,…

Thanks everyone! jlizgar - I bet you are right! I will check out the website you suggested for sure! Maybe I will break out the Pilates DVD's and just do the plank pose instead of the Roll up pose for now!

I did W3D1 today also, and I feel the same way! It's like it's easier than week one, which is totally amazing to me!! Looking forward to the next one!

What a great idea for a thread! I have two(well, three really!) votes - The first goes to Timbotina - she was my first friend on MFP that I didn't know IRL. I look forward to her encouraging posts every day! She's so dedicated, and such an inspiration!! My second votes go to themyriadthings, and ginger99 - they are my…

Feel free to add me to! I am a mother of a 3.5 year old and and almost one year old. I've had 2 C-sections which have ruined my tummy! I'm 20 pounds down and still have 40 to go.

I tried some acai stuff a few years back, I thought maybe it gave me more energy, but other than that it didn't do much at all! :(

Yay Sarah! You've been a huge inspiration to me, I hope you know that!!! You'll be a MFP addict in no time!!

Hi All! hoping everyone is having a great weekend!!! I seem to lose this thread easily so I'm going to make it a point to post every day! I don't wanna lose you guys, LOL!! Congrats to all the losers, and welcome to the new members!!

Thanks Tina! I always seem to forget to look for hand weights when I am out, LOL! I came across the FIRM dvd's and may give them a shot! I think first though, I am going to try and get more dedicated to doing the Shred, I've never kept it up for very long!!

Thanks for the reply gabrielled! I don't really do any resistance training, I don't even have hand weights! I've been using cans of soup for the 30 Day Shred video, LOL! Is the Shred a good example of resistance training, or should I invest in another type of video? There is a gym in my little town(2700 people) but it…
