High five!!!!!

I wrapped up W4D3 on sunday night, then rolled into W5D1 Monday night - both felt fantastic. W5D2 tonight, also felt fantastic. Jogged an extra 2 minutes at the end of the 2nd 8 minute run, and had just a 3 minute cooldown instead. I wonder curiously, not so much nervously, if W5D3 will be as bad as it seems like in my…

I recently picked up the FT4, I kinda wanted the Bluetooth+, but i decided that i'd rather have the info on the watch, i already have enough apps running on my android when I'm jogging/walking. Since I'mnot trying to eat 100% of my"burned" calories, there's really not a reason to worry about super accuracy. I generally log…

that's burn increase measured via the HRM, right?

W4D3 completed this evening! Once again, I was worried about going into week 5, but i decided to do more than worry - so for the last 5 minute run of week 4, i ran for 9 minutes. I thought I was going to run for 8, then when i thought it'd been long enough (i counted my breaths, i'm a nerd haha), i started walking and…

Not sure...have you tried slowing down to control your heart rate? Even jogging slower than you walk is still jogging

I got the FT4 tonight locally at a sporting goods place (70 bucks). The watchand transmitter both have user-replaceable batteries. The strap is almost too small for me, i wear a 2xl shirt. (no tape measure, sorry). it works wonderfully. As said above, the FT4 and FT7 both use the same strap - the FT7 just offers the…

exactly what I do! My breakfast almost every day is a mission carb balance tortilla, a couple ounces of turkey or chicken, and mustard or light flavored mayo (i'm digging kraft sandwich shop garlic and herb at the moment). It's quick, it works, and it doesnt kill my calorie or carb budget. Anything you can eat for lunch…

me too, i'm a pretty big fan of Mr. Worldwide!

hard to say without knowing what kinds of music you like. Lately I've been listening to a lot of trance/electro while jogging. Deadmau5, Tiesto, that sort of thing. What kind of music do you like? what gets your head moving?

Wow. I completed W4D1 today, even though I was almost 100% sure I would have to walk after maybe 4 minutes of jogging - but NO! I did it, every second of the jobs, and even jogged the final 3 minutes of cooldown! I had tears in my eyes, I cannot believe how far it's possible to have come in such a short amount of time.…

Week 3 finished, on to week 4, i think. Fingers crossed. =)

Enjoy it, it's very exciting to push yourself to do stuff you never dreamed you'd do! I just finished week 3 day 3 tonight =) Good luck!

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast and Turkey Ready to eat Salad mix Cheese (light string and shredded cheddar mixes) Carb Balance tortillas (basically flour tortillas with a ton of added fiber) Butter Flavored cooking spray and I can't believe it's not butter spray

W3 D2 complete - it was hard the first 3 minute run this time, harder than it was on day 1 for me, but the 2nd 3 minute run I felt fine. i think i might start jogging a couple of warmup intervals of 60 seconds or so, it seems like even with about a 10 minute warm up walk (5 minutes, stretch, start the official 5 minutes),…

I agree - and try to make sure you're eating enough through the day so that you don't have binge cravings. I try to make sure I snack on a little something every 2-3 hours through the day, and I find that it really helps me not be hungry between dinner and bedtime.

Worked for a pharmaceutical manufacturer because I knew someone in the facilities department who got me an interview. I had the requisite experience because I was a maintenance guy for a gym for several years, a job that I got from a family member hookup. Pharma manufacturer had a vendor who i worked with daily for 2…

have you seen this one? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/172239-how-to-deduct-bmr-calories-from-heart-monitor-calories

Welcome aboard, you can do it! Adding you, maybe you'll have some great food ideas =)

me too, brother, me too. haha.

W3D1 today, i also did a lot better than I would have thought, which makes me smile to no end. The last 30 seconds of the 2nd 3 minute run were brutal, and i am pretty sure my 6 year old could walk faster than i was jogging at that point, but i kept at it and jogged all of the seconds - it's about endurance, not speed,…

still doing it - fasting numbers are almost always under 100 now. bedtime numbers around 130. Working on week 3 of C25k, enjoying the journey, smiling at the victories. I enjoy reading about the experiences of others - post some more!

I did w2d3 yesterday, felt ok, i wonder if I'm going to be nervous about the next week at the end of every week? lol. I'm having a hard time burning the amount of calories i want to burn now that I started this - I don't feel like doing stuff with my legs on the c25k off days, and I don't have a gym membership...should I…

Wow, those look incredibly delicious. I'll have to start taking photos of my creations, but I think i'm going to try a few of yours first!

W2D2 complete, D3 sat or sunday. Actually starting to enjoy this a little. My 6 year old daughter ran with me today, so we walked slower, but it was worth it. =)

low fat string cheese medium cheddar cheese sliced apple with natural peanut butter fresh fruit - I never really ate much fruit before, and only bananas or pineapple if i did, so this is kind of new and exciting. nectarines, strawberries, pears...I have to eat them with cheese or some other fat/protein because it softens…

I hate running so much that there's no way I could do it inside, the sights and smells and varying terrain are the only thing that I find enjoyable about the process, haha. I tend to go to the park to jog, so i can run on the grass. I was worried about people thinking I was out of shape at first too, but realistically,…

W2D1 was easier than I had built it up to be in my head, but it was still pretty challenging. Like others have noted, not long ago and for most of my life I would have given up somewhere around the second or third run. I'm not sure I could have jogged 95 seconds today, but i got 90, and I'm learning how to jog more…

i'm so happy for you, and motivated by your success. Thanks for sharing!
