5' 11" started at 289, now down 36 pounds and counting... so you are definitely not alone

Awesome progress

and one from me for the whole gang here, :flowerforyou:

Ely DOnt be upset, give yourself a well earned rest today, and tomorrow is another day, its okay to give yourself a break, and this happened because you were working out extra and not because of slacking off, so give yourself a pat on the back and be back on the journey as soon as you feel a lil better I am soooo upset…

Thank you , thank you :bigsmile:

happy to join you on week 5 completed my first run today back on treadmill, 1% incline warmup 3.5mph jog 5mph walk 4mph including cool down -2.2 miles calories burnt 345 I feel GOOD :)

Starting this journey is the most important step, make small changes towards this journey of health and fitness welcome on board i too am online daily and happy to help Lohit

get well soon and it will allow us to catch up with you a bit i finally got my week 4, day 2 run completed today went out rather than the treadmill , and was happy to note i was actually jogging and not shuffling along (in my previous +33 pounds mode ) was a good change from the treadmill and plan to mix the runs going…

Welcome to the group, I am using the zen labs C25K app on ipod, i quite like it and is good enough for a treadmill

My Update Week 4- Day 1 Get new playlist on ipod - check Update C25K Free app on ipod - check - i dont have to think now about the timings etc, a voice in the ear does that :) Incline 1.0 throughout Warmup 5 min - 3.5 mph Jog 3 min - 4.5 mph Walk 1.5 min - 4.2 mph Jog 5 min - 5.0 mph Walk 2.5 min - 4.2 mph Jog 3 min - 5.0…

Great going, i believe you mentioned you had some knee issues earlier , why not ease yourself in with the incline, start with .5, 1 and then bump it up But Kudos to you for completing the run

Good to know, my week 4 is tomorrow

Hi I have done week 3, day 2 and 3 on incline 1, i did noticed that the first time i used the incline my calories burnt increased by about 10% for the run, and i did notice the incline second time around, i even forgot i was on an incline, i think we get used to the incline pretty fast.. as long as we dont over do the…

hi guys, i too faced this - was exercising way too much and my net calories were below the recommended numbers suggest bumping up the net calories to the MFP recommended values and hang in there, you are getting fitter and on the way to a great life

Completed my last run of week 3 too but burnt less calories than usual ? am i getting that fit (LOL) maybe time to increase speeds just a little have been doing walking at 4mph and jog at 4.5mph ,bumped up incline to 1 in last 2 runs

great going, looking forward to my second run tomorrow

Saw this on runnersworld, hopefully may come in handy http://beginners.runnersworld.com/2011/11/running-and-headaches.html

Hi Running Pal I too did my week 3 day 1 warm up 3.5 mph walking 4mph running 4.5 mph completed 2 miles in 29 minutes, had that and 300 calories as a bonus goal Felt good , though a little tired as i had an enforced break of couple of days...

I am 260 pounds and use Polar FT7 , my initial days on 30DS the calories burnt were reported around 325 and then they went down to 270 odd, before level 3 kicked it back around 310 I understand everyone is different and 30ds will give you different results too based on "who" you are following, i was following anita…

Good detailed writeup, i am sure it will come in handy for quite a few folks on the journey thanks for taking the time to write this and reiterating the basics!

Echo that! :)

awesome, great to hear that you completed it without a hitch and i do understand the "cocky" part, i was meaning to go slow , go slow and then bumped up the last run to 6mph, just to see whether i could do it hang in there, week 3 would be easier than week 1, i bet

you sure can google your question and can get links like these http://macintoshhowto.com/software/how-to-share-itunes-libraries-across-multiple-ipods.html

I am doing both :), on level 3 - day 4 on 30DS and completed week 2 , day 2 on C25k I am trying to do the 30DS in the morning and C25K in the evenings on alternate days As long as you are able to space them out by about 10-12 hrs, i think doing both programs is viable, getting enough rest - sleep is also important, Go for…

Week 2, Run 2 completed Observed that i was able to complete the whole session breathing through the nose, no panting - big victory for me :) was meaning to go all slow, but at the *kitten* end of the session - a really peppy number started on my playlist and i got all pumped up :blushing: and just wanted to check how fast…

Get well soon,

Thanks everyone, i took it slow and rested my knees for 2 days and am feeling much better taking it slow during the practice runs too

Day 1 , week 2 completed yesterday, felt good and consciously went slow warm up at 3.5 Jog at 4.5 walk at 4

Felt real good and happy after completing week 1 yes , feel more energetic :P plan for next week - take it slow, real slow :)

High Five!! :) :drinker: PS based on the consistent feedback on shape-ups, today returned them back - having bought them a week ago and will search for some better shoes Thanks All!
