I am going to brisk walk/job my first five k. Many people do this. I love what you said......if you are not on the couch your are doing it!!!

I have been exercising daily but I have not actually walk/jogged again. We have been swimming and I have been doing turbo jam. Going to make it a priority to get out there today and get it done. I am leaving for NY and will be in a car for 24 hours (with stops) with seven kids! My mother is already raring to go…

You took the words out of my mouth. Sometimes the "this is me" is really a defense mechanism because they feel that they let you down. Sometimes people need to know you really love them for them, not their appearance. See if you can approach him at another time and let him know your concerned about his health, not what he…

I guess I am confused..why is this wrong? If it is working, it is right and four lbs is great. I guess I need to read the responses as well.

My legs were sore today so I went swimming for an hour. I just treaded water but I figured it would be good to stretch and burn some calories. Tomorrow I am going back to the gym for day two and some strength training.

So is mine!! It isn't in Oklahoma is it? Congrats. I am doing the glow run.

Not sure how to add everyone but it is up and day one was a doozie. Definitely going to luck in to the zombie app :)

You all seem wonderful! Feel free to add me if I left someone out. I also started a 5K newbie board if any of you want to join. :) -J

Well it was not much of a run but I did walk jog for 40 minutes. It is a start, way out of shape and overweight. -J

Day One Reflection I cannot even express my feelings right now. So I finally faced the scale and the treadmill. I walked/jogged for 30 minutes plus 10 minutes of warm up cool down time and it was brutal. I feel great that I did what I did but it is so hard to face how out of shape I am right now. Plus I was off my starting…

http://lozilu.com/couch-to-5k-workout-plan/ I found a spreadsheet since my phone died, this way you can start without the app :)

Wow some of you are really having great success...makes me hopeful :)

I read a bunch of reviews and finally settled on this one..https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.active.aps.c25k&hl=en However, I went to use it this morning and my phone is not working (I have a droid). I don't think it is app related just getting old. Good Luck today!

Have you tried Zumba? Love it and it burns lots of calories.

Each time you work out let us know!, so we can cheer each other on !! Let us know your victories and difficulties. Lets help one another :)

What is pact?

Wow I am really excited to have so many friends joining in. I am also intimidated by my fitness level but I am just going to do my best. Some friends suggested repeating weeks if it becomes too difficult. I would like to keep this going as a group. Let me see what I can do...anyone want to pick a name?

I did not think I would have this many but I always new I wanted a big family. I was married for 16 years (My first four were from that marriage). I remarried and have two now with my husband and he had a son as well. So we are up to seven all together. I teach high school during the school year, so kids are kind of my…
