Don't worry about eating more. Your metabolism is in high gear. Just make sure you calorie count. If I go over by 100 calories, I don't pinch myself too much. If you don't mind me asking, how many calories are you allowed a day? Don't forget to eat your running calories btw!

I'm very excited to do a 5k and feel about it the way I do when I finish a mile! lol

It's really hard to print... ain't gonna lie. If you figure out how to get the entire chart together... fill me in!

My big head has been a problem when it comes to speed. It's like I have to see a certain speed or I can't appreciate what I'm already putting my body through. I'd die to run outside!!!! OMG that's one of my goals is to run the local rail trail. Okay, I should definitely slow down... if you're running at 5.6mph as a champ,…

haha! The running police are inside my head! Yea, I finished my mile yesterday in 15 minutes, but I was wore the hell out... so I also didn't continue to do the running thing for the last five minutes... I just walked another 20mins. I was sooo wore out I never picked my speed back up. I was exhausted. I will try to take…

Okay... yea, cause yesterday, I was breathless... legitimately. So maybe I'll scale back the pace a bit. The speed I did yesterday made me think that I was probably going to have to repeat the week. SO in retrospect, it clearly wasn't too comfortable. I do like walking at 3.0, so maybe I'll just push my running back to 4.0…

I found a blackberry app called C25k... How exactly do the apps work, like how do they know when I should slow/speed/stop? Good, usually I'm like, I'll just do a mile, but then once I've whipped my *kitten* for a mile, I don't mind walking the second. haha!!! Tell me more about these apps?

I actually thought about whether or not I'd have to repeat a week... and I loathe the thought. So that you for reassuring me. I'm the kind of person who gets upset with myself if I don't immediately pick up something and succeed. So basically, I'm a pain in the *kitten*. ;-) I was doing my running at 4.8, so I just rounded…

... sadly this is foreign language to me. Can you break it down elementary? ;-) Thanks!

OMG!!! I will die when I can do that. So how do you learn to do it for that long? Right now, I haven't been doing it directly as the chart says... It says to do it for 20 minutes... I finish the mile usually within 15 minutes... so I haven't been doing it for 20... mostly because I'm knocking on deaths door by then... aka…

Well thank you! I do feel very stupid going up and down so often in speed at the gym... I know no one is paying attention, and if they are they're not there for the right reasons... but anyhow it's just weird pushing the speed up and down the entire time I'm there... BUT I know that I look better running half the time and…

What kind of listening to my body should I do? I'm pretty oblivious to what it's telling me. Or so I think... What cues should I look for? I have a brand new pair of Nike Air Max. Does this count? I know they're very comfortable and I fear wearing them out too soon. I <3 them... literally. I take great pleasure in every…

I almost did 1 mile in 15 mins today... I did .98 in 15. So I came very close... I couldn't have been more impressed with myself. I understand what you mean by that flow. I also wonder why some days suck for running? WTF is up with that???

OMG... I relish the thought of running 5K in 30minutes! Something I've been doing, is, even after I've completed a mile, I just walk at whatever pace I want and do one more mile. So one mile via the chart and one mile via whatever I feel (which is always just walking). I'm interested in this 3 months ago story... tell me…

I can tell you that it's hard when I do it... I sweat big time... so it has to be doing something for me? I know my workouts seem pretty badass... What all has your professor said?

Bump

You're sooo welcome! Thanks! What do you mean share? haha I tried on a top to a swim suit today... I have it already, but I was hoping after losing 15lbs, I could fit into the size right below the one I currently own... Nope, not yet. My boobs look better in it... so like... yea, I REALLY hope I can fit into it soon. I…

I just raised it, and it says that in like... 5 wks, I'll be about 7lbs lighter than the previous estimate!

I'm SOOO glad you can relate! I spend my day with a bunch of 3 year olds... 13 to be exact... I spent 15 minutes today "throwing them down the slide" basically grabbing them hoisting them into the air, giving kisses and then sittin them on the slide and pushing them down. Well that's like 40 pounds a kid... and they kept…

By Gawd... lmfao! It says 1500 calories a day for lightly active... eee... seems high, when I've been eating soo low... I'll try it though... for a week... haha Thanks Kat120285 for encouraging me to up it. Thanks to anyone who replied or is helping me out. I really appreciate it.

Well see that's what I read... so my sodium intake stays (usually between 1500-2000, which I heard is high? I <3 rice...) so I drink a lot of water to flush some of it out... I drink about 5-12 glasses a day... I fear flushing out my nutrients... so I try to drink... a cup of like G2 or V8 daily as well.

rileamoyer- Thanks... I never thought about giving my body time to catch up with my weight loss... the LAST thing I want is to have loose skin... that'd be totally upsetting. Atlantique- well I kind of set it that way on purpose. I guess it's just hard to get myself to accept that fact that lower calories doesn't…

You think soo? Thanks. that's certainly helpful!

Thank you guys sooo much! I'm still getting better... I'm fighting major congestion. I only lost a pound... and I slaked off the OJ... until today.

I hope soo... lmfao. I really wanna lose weight... and weigh ins where I don't lose anything... kill me...

You can easily do it by going to http://www.mvm.com ;-)

This thread is a keeper!

I just turned down a Snickers Ice Cream Bar for a whole plate of salad. It has more calories, because I'm literally having a **** ton of salad... BUT at least, it's better for me.

OMG!!! I forgot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Madagascars "I Like To Move It" always get's me goin!

Well... Britney's Blackout & Femme Fatale albums... and Pitbull's Toma. Also, I like to throw Kanye West's, Work Out Plan in there to remind me why I'm doing this in the first place. Even if it's a lil silly!
