  • I'm going to week 5 already in this program... I absolutely love it. I had NEVER been a runner but this program has me training in a way I never would have thought. Keep it up and you will see results. I actually started 3 times a week but then went up to 5. Sometimes what I do if I'm a little weak, i do the 3 days but the…
  • I have the POLAR FT4 and it is AWESOME... zappos has it for $89 and it comes with a chest strap. don't purchase one without...not worth it!. Good luck.

  • OHH and DIET is key! I totally agree with that!...you can wear a million rubber belts and that sucker will stay right where it is.
  • Tummy fat is one of my biggest issues as well. Since I started I have not budged from a 4lbs loss but I have seen mayor changes in my body. I strength train so I know my growing muscle is the culprit...LOL, but specially since I started doing the C25K running program I have started to see a mayor change. Running is…
  • I used to have very low self esteem, I live in a city where perfect bodies are everywhere. I went thru a very tough divorce and it got worse. Every time I looked in the mirror I focused on all I had wrong. I even believed that I would never get fit because I hated working out and I was lazy. But one day i realized that,…
  • Hi everyone, I'm in too. I'm finishing W3D3 tomorrow. I LOVE this program. I like most of us here have NEVER been a runner. On the contrary i always said I hated it. Until I found C25K. I think running is a great way to get healthy and loose fat. My partner for the C25K is also in MFP and lives far from me but we encourage…
  • I'M JUST IN WEEK 4 SO I CAN'T BE MUCH HELP, BUT I DO LOVE TO SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING RESULTS. I DO EACH WEEK 5 TIMES A WEEK NOT 3, I DO 3 DAYS ON THE TREADMILL AND 2 OUTDOORS. :) GOOD LUCK ON YOUR RACE!
  • I dont have kids so i've never had code words for anything. Lol i call it for what it is...but this topic got me thinking and just in case i need to use it...I'd call it "we need to make a deposit" then depending on the urgency....tomorrow, later, or immediately or we might overdraft! Jaja yeah I like that.
  • I just started using an HRM, it's also a Polar the FT4. Before using it the machines always told me I burned 100 cals less than what my HRM tells me. I was feeling the workout but the damn machines never really hit it on with me. I now only trust my HRM, nothing else really. I hope this helps :-)
  • Wohoooooo awesome job! And I have another tall buddy. I'm 6' ;-)

  • This place has changed my life and how I view working out! You could not find a lazier person than me... but MFP changed this. The support is amazing. I'll friend request you... anyone else that needs support can also friend request me. We are all in this together. it's about health and support!
  • I agree with @chevy88grl. Try replacing it and adding on a bit at a time see how your body reacts. I think sometimes our mind wants to go faster than our bodies. It took us all this time to be unhealthy and once we learn how amazing it is to WO and do this we want to zip through it. It's important not to hurt yourself, idk…

  • Welcome. This site is great. I just started and the support is amazing.
  • Welcome. I just started with this myself and I have become addicted. It's amazing support.
  • Hi, I'm also new to this site. I COMPLETELY understand. I'm on the same boat. I've put it in my head so much that I hate exercising I now have to battle that. I've tried everything and never get motivated. I'm like the joke of the fam, every time I try and start they crack a joke about how long I'll last. I think my…
