Not really a "workout" but I aim for at least 30 minutes walking or jogging on treadmill daily. This week I'm in a mon-fri fitbit challenge with some friends to see who can get the most steps.

Hi everyone! I'm a nursing student, graduating in May. I've lost 10 lbs and would love to lose another 45. I'm 36, with a husband, and 2 kids, ages 13 and 16.

I'd like to join, please!

I just got a fitbit yesterday. Are the days of logging exercise in mfp over? I jogged on treadmill this morning and it was a 290 Cal burn, according to treadmill. Fitbit added 177 to mfp. Does fitbit know I was jogging and not walking?

I just got a fitbit flex today. I would love to have some fitbit friends!! Anyone can add me. micheles234@yahoo.com

I have a silly question. I don't see an "edit" option on my post. Will we have to copy and paste a new post every week for the weigh ins?

I'm on day 2 . . . for the umpteenth time as well. Seems every time I lose the lbs and think I can do it on my own I prove myself wrong. I'm back with 60 lbs to lose. Started back on couch to 5 k (actually couch to 10k) week 3 yesterday. Anyone can add me! The more friends and motivation, the better!

Thanks for all the great feedback! My reasoning is for both health and weight loss. I'm a student and going into the nursing program this fall, so I wanted to take the Summer and really work on myself and go into the fall feeling good and strong. My gym membership runs through the end of next April, so it's not a…

I'm generally not doing intense cardio every day. I guess I'm just wondering if I should. I generally do strength or light cardio on my non-run days. I was sore for a couple weeks straight, but my body is adjusting and feeling better now. I always stretch and use a foam roller after my workouts.

Stefania, I did w4d1 April 30. I started c25k during week 3. For my second 5 minute run I had to run 3, walk 1 and then run the next 2. It was tough. I hope tomorrow, w4d2 I can run as recommended. Good luck to you!

For the big meals, if you're cooking, make healthy sides that you won't feel guilty about, along with the traditional things everyone expects. If you're going somewhere to eat, bring a healthy dish to pass, that way you know there will be something you don't feel bad about. Keep going with the workouts and cal counting. If…

I use rockmyrun.com They prepare the mixes and you download them for free. They start you with one credit I believe, and you build a credit a month, or something like that. You can search by heart rate or length of recording. For me, it's fun and keeps me motivated, and I don't have to spend hours wondering what to put…

Yes!!!! It motivates me!

Running has so many benefits! I just REstarted the c25k after being away from working out for several months. Running gives you a "high" and, yes, I slimmed down a lot when I was running my 5k's (along with tracking calories and eating CLEAN). I'm excited to get back in to it now. Never thought I would call myself a…

I've just restarted the c25k. I was amazed with myself the first time around. Never saw myself running more than one minute at a time, but it never did get easy. I restarted in week 3, and finished day 2 yesterday. It was rough, I did w3d1 on my treadmill and then hit the trails for w3d2 and it was so much more difficult.…

I came back on Monday this week. Been gone several months. Also restarted c25k week 3. This is about my fourth time around? Works every time, I don't really know why I let the pounds creep back up! Feel free to add me, I like extra support and motivation, and I like to do the same for my friends! :)

welcome! Anyone can add me :)

I'm at 1230. Feel free to add me!

I have the same goal. I'm 5'7, 2 kids and in my 30's. Anyone can add me, I love the support and I like to motivate others as well. I've done this a few times before and with the help of MFP I met my goals. Then I fall down again. I just restarted MFP after being MIA for several months and gaining several pounds back.…

I'm jealous of the 2800 cal allowed. was this after a workout?

I'm 33, 20 would be fab, 25 would be the ultimate! Anyone can add me!

lol Ima, I plan on mounting a tv in front of mine too! It's permanent home will be upstairs, away from all of the "action" and I'm afraid if I have to stair at a white wall I may not be too eager to keep going back! Did a Jillian Michaels workout on it tonight, my treadmill "knows" the workouts I choose from the ifit…

Ima, I don't have a color display, though the treadmill is new. I bought it for the "street views" mainly, and per the ifit support site, apparently they were making huge changes to ifit in december and have some glitches to work out still. I wonder if when it's working like it should, if I'd be able to see street views on…

you've gotten further than me! just installed ifit today on my new treadmill. did a workout that I mapped, but it wasn't real time on my laptop, it showed a little dot with a line on my treadmill screen. not the view I was hoping for. what are you watching your run on? a computer? I'm so confused with all of this! I viewed…

I completed c25k last June and ran 3 5k's last year. I thought they were so much fun! Took a few months off from running, as it got cold, but got a treadmill for christmas. I restarted in the middle of c25k. I will do week 5 day 1 on Thursday. This year I want to do some 5k obstacle runs. I'm signed up for 5k foam fest,…

Thanks!

I'm a mom of 2. 13 yr old son and 9 yr old daughter. diary is open, workout at least 3 days/week. anyone can add me!
