Add me! I think my diary and such is private but I could maybe open it up. I'm also looking for some inspiration. I lost 75lbs and gained 45lbs back. So I need to get back on the wagon so I can fix this! I went through some life changes and an injury. It's been frustrating to feel like I have to start over.

Or not... so much for support... lol

Should I try WW to bust the plateau?

Uh... helllllppp?

It has to be copied and pasted... don't ask me why! lol

That's what I thought... this seems horrid?

How should I try circuit training? I've never done before?

I am seriously excited to try this out! Can you add me and help me out? It's so frustrating to me that I can have fast food for my meals for 3 weeks, be 176 and then run 5k 3x a week for months and be 6lbs less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FML!

But what should I be doing? I used to log like a Nazi... nothing changing.

Can I get some examples of strength training that I should be doing and for how many reps? I hate the back of my arms and my thighs! lol

Sometimes I do eat only so many calories. If I'm eating low carb, then most of the calories are veggies and such, so they don't add up to much. I always feel weird eating more calories rather than less... I'm just not sure what to eat or what exercise to do to get it all going. I will say that I haven't stuck with anything…

Ugh... calisthenic exercise, eh? I guess I could attempt this... haha. I will do my best!

Teach me to love at home weights? All I have are 3lbs dumbbells... ugh. My cardio is pretty intense. I'm learning to run again. So for instance, this week, I'm running 5 minutes on and 3 minutes off. I do the 5 at 4.5mph and the 3 at 3mph. Next week, I believe, I have to run 8 minutes on, so my cardio has been a product of…

Thanks! I lost the first 30 a good while ago, the last 10 in March and I just started the running program at the end of March. So the running has caused a loss of inches but not weight so far... so what should I do? I have been putting as much as I can into it. Surprisingly, nothing I've done has made me feel like "I don't…

Our treadmills at work actually have a hill course that shows you running the 5k! So it's helpful.. My friends are distractions... all but one! lol

You're welcome! I'm sooo proud of you! You've inspired me. There's times when I think... I will probably only gain speed/finish the chart in full after I lose weight, cause I'm 204-208lbs and this is a slim shot. Now I can tell those thoughts to suck it! You are my mantra! Thank you!!! I plan on signing up for the next 5k…

My knees felt crappy today. I think it's because I didn't take break days... as it says. It's just easier for me to do it Monday-Thursday. lol! Although, I'm taking tomorrow off! ;-)

Well thank you for sharing! Maybe I'll mix it up on my days off from running!

Agreed!

Well I bid you good luck! I can't wait to run at those speeds! It will be the time of my life! Thank you soo much for sharing. Now I think I will be a running beast... good going! lol ;-)

I think the treadmill helps me stay honest... Now with that being said... I haven't tried the program outside. My goal is to eventually run the railtrails in my community. I can't wait too! I'm 208lbs... so running is a bit of a *****, but I love it.

I have Nike Airmaxs? Are those good? lol... Thanks for the inspiration!

Is it the same? Thank you soo much. I use my iPod for music, but I'm interested in the app... I'm just wonderng how they know when I should speed up/down? I have a Blackberry...? lol Thank you soo much!

Aww!!! I'm sooo glad! I'm only on week one and I felt like today (the third day) was easier than the other days! Add me if ya need any help! ;-)

I have to say, I always loved the way it just pushed all my stress from my body... so I can't wait to be a real runner!

I moved to 4.5mph for my "running" today. Thank you very much! ;-)

ut oh... :-( suggest some stuff for me to do then... for when I hit that moment... ppppllleeeaaasseee...

So... this is pretty complex... what is the general statement in this?

I did a full 20 minutes today. I made sure I paid attention to the time more so than the distance and I also ran at 4.5mph as to give myself time to build up to being a runner. I felt very strained still... but not nearly as uncomfortable as yesterday!

I love them! They make my life. I just can't figure out if I'm supposed to be wearing socks with them...
