will have to try thanks!

great tip!!

I love FN too. I was kinda watching the other day and Sunny, I think her show is Cooking For Real, was making this brushetta with eggplant and looked so yummy. Yes Paula Deen is bad with the butter.

I didn't mix when I didn't C25K but I think swimming would be a wonderful mix because it is a low impact workout.

Great job!!!!

I do lia sophia and no I have not made a "career" out of it but I do know for a fact that it can be done as one of my friends does it. just remember if you treat it like a hobby it will treat you like a hobby. If you treat it like a career it will treat you like a career. To make it "work" you have to work hard at it. Good…

That's awesome! I went to run my 3 miles and my Hubby decided he was going to come with. Instead of the 5k I was going to run we ran C25K week 2 for him. Now he's ready to do the whole program! Congrats to you and your wife!

Yeah that does seem high.

great idea about chewing gum. My mouth always gets dry when I run.

I have always walked and jogged outside. I tried to walk on treadmill and it just didn't feel right. Felt like I was just trying to keep up with the machine. I agree with ladybg81 if you use the treadmill make sure you put it on an incline of about 3. Also I would suggest the couch to 5k program to start running. I was NOT…

I have slowly unlocked workouts by doing the lower ones. I think, maybe, I did the beginner workouts like 6 times each and then the intermediate were opened. But I don't know for sure.

bump...I'm gonna try these later... Thanks

I have both. I do Zumba on wii when it is raining out or I just don't feel like going outside to exercise. I just finished day 5 of 30 day shred and its a great work out. I had to try it. People have gotten great results and it is cheap. Good Luck!

I'm 30 my starting weight was 215, now 197, goal is 150

Welcome! I am also a SAHM of a 4 year old and twin 3 year olds. I have lost about 17 pounds since March and so Happy! I too was athletic in school (HS) but gained in college. Lost it all about 8 years ago and then found my husband and had children and all down the tube. Feel free to add me as a friend and I wish you the…

Thank you Everyone!

Thank you

I think if you happy with your weight loss with drinking then I wouldn't worry about it. If you are unhappy try cutting back to eliminating it to only on rare occasions. I too have a drink every now and then and I still lose 1-2 per week.

I use zumba fitness but I have a HRM to track my calories burned. It is fun I don't do it everyday. i do it when I don't go out for walk or running c25k

i bought walking shoes from zappos.com for $100. That was before I started c25k. I still use the "walking" shoes and wonder the same if I should have a "running" shoe. I am not having shin splints of anything so I assume I am ok. When I need shoes again I will consider getting running shoes but for now I feel that I am ok.

MPF already gives you a deficit on your calorie in take and that amount depends on how much you are looking to loose (500 cal for 1 pound per wk). even if you did no exercise you would still lose weight. If you don't eat some or all of the calories your burn you may not be getting you body enough fuel to get though the day.

When I go for my walks I love the listen to the birds and nature rather then listening to music!!

Yes I had one not too long ago and said the same thing. YUM YUM!!

I JUST finished w1d1. it felt great. I can't wait to run a 5k it will be a huge accomplishment!

I still have a drink or 2 a couple of days a week and it doesn't seem to affect my weight loss. I have been counting calories since March and have lost 1-2 lbs a week. I enjoy to have a drink and I am not going to cut it out of my day because it is "slowing" me down.

I try to eat more healthier and better portion size (watching calories). I still eat what I use to before my weight lost journey. This to me is a life style change and not a "diet". I not going deprive myself of the things I enjoy to eat and drink. I just have to them in moderation.

I weight in and document it once a week.

I just got mine too. when you do it do you do the classes or zumbathon??

NH here!!
