I've been vegan/vegetarian for over 2 years and I love Happy Herbivore and veganonabudget.com

Out of all the comments I love this one the most! I wholeheartedly agree!

Personally I really enjoyed my C25K app, it was the only thing that broke it up into small and achievable goals. I had not been able to run for 5 years when I started due to knee and foot problems. I started 70lbs overweight and it really made it easy for me. If I were to just run I wouldn't feel like I "achieved"…

I think that is totally normal as you get use to running. I just finished the 6th week of couch to 5k and there have been plenty of times where I could just crash right afterwards. I noticed a pattern though, the more I pushed myself or the longer I would run, the more tired I got. I have noticed that it gets easier, which…

I just finished week 6 yesterday of C25K and I am loving it! I have been tracking mine just like JenMc14 said, I group my running intervals and walking intervals together as one long activity. For the most part my pace is the same, it only varies by seconds for the most part. Congrats on starting on C25K, I hope you enjoy…

This was the first challenge I faced when I decided to go Vegan. My 13 year old daughter had cereal daily and drank 1-2 large glasses of cow's milk a day. I told my daughter that it was really important to me to cut out dairy and she was open to trying to find an alternative. We tried Almond Milk, Soy Milk, Hemp Milk and…

this sounds delicious, I'm going to have to try it this week, thanks for posting!

Hello, I am newly Vegan too! I am enjoying the change however I have concerns about how easy this transition will be for me. I am the only vegan in the family and am concerned how I will make this change balance with my life. But, it will just have to happen and I am looking for any vegan friends that can help with any…

Bad week for me. Not really sure what happened. My weight went up, but I don't feel like I have gained as much as the scale says since my pants are still fitting the same. I am hoping this is just water weight and will be back on track next week. SW: 196.7 CW: 196.4 GW: 135 lbs gained: 2.6 :(

Happy Friday everyone! Here are my stats for the week. SW: 196.7 CW: 193.8 GW: 135 Only lost 0.4lbs this week, but I will take it. Work has been crazy this week and I haven't been able to work out in the evenings because I've been working overtime. I look forward to next week. Good luck loosing everybody!

Hello everyone, I just joined the group yesterday and am glad that my friend alanacareyb shared this with me. I am looking forward to being part of the group and working hard to meet my goals. Here are my stats SW: 196.7 CW: 194.2 GW: 135 I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Day 4 was hard but good. My day got busy and I didn't get a chance to work out until 6:30p.m. so that was hard to get motivated for. But, I did it and I was very pleased and how it felt easier for me. I was able to go all the way through the static lunges without taking a break, which is kind of a big deal since those are…

OOMMGG!!! My arms are SO sore!!! Mostly my triceps, but still, very sore. I lifted light so I don't think I over did it, I just haven't lifted in a long time so my body needs to get use to it. How is everyone else doing with the challenge?

bump Thanks for sharing!

I am on day 3 as well and I am really glad to see how it is getting a bit easier for me. On the first two days the things I noticed I struggled with was during the cardio where I have to pick my feet up, I would struggle getting as much air as I felt I should. My legs always felt like cement bricks when I do butt kicks and…

Hello everyone! I am a little late joining the group, but I am really excited to be here! I have a long journey and I'm glad to be here with everyone. SW: 195.5 GW: 155 First phase goal: Loose 10lbs This might seem like a small goal, but I have been trying to loose weight for over 6 months, but I can't seem to get the…

I would love to start a challenge with you! I like your idea of 15 min 3x/wk. I just lifted weights yesterday and forgot how good I feel afterwards. I am sore yes, but I feel like I worked hard and I like that feeling. Since today is Monday do you want to start this week?

Sorry for the late post, my computer is dead and I can't figure out how to get to the forums on my phone. Weigh in for the week is 194.6, only a loss of 0.9, but hey it's a loss right? I hope everyone's Monday is going great and I already started on my challenge by making myself an extra cup of tea today.

I would love to join even though I am coming in at the end of the week. I weighed in on the 12 so I will use that as my current weight. CW: 195.4 GW: 185 If I could break out of the 190's that would be great!!!

After struggling for a few days I actually was able to get started yesterday. I was very happy with myself for getting it done when I really, REALLY didn't want to. I do feel I could have worked harder, but my goal was simply to finish it. I am looking forward to doing day 2 when I get home! I need to take my measurements…

bump Thanks for sharing

sounds great! I look forward to trying it

I planned on starting to Shred today! I would love to join you on your mission to get recommitted to the 30DS! I have tried it a few times but only got to day 8 each time. I hope to actually finish the Shred as it is intended. Please feel free to add me!

I am two days behind as well, but worked out HARD the two days I couldn't fit in shredding. I plan to stay on level 1 for 2-5 more days, I've been having some joint pain and I'd like to do better on my push ups before I switch over. I keep trying to push myself harder though as it has gotten easier. So for instance I try…

I think it truly depends on the dog and cats. I have 3 cats 2 of which I had for YEARS before I got the dog. I got one male red nosed "pitbull" that was adopted and he loved to chase the kitties. He never tried to get them as much as he liked to run around the house making them pissed. The cats of course did not like this…

You are preachin to the choir my dear! I feel like I could have wrote everything you just said. I did the exact same number of push ups! And I am seeing the same thing in my body too. I can feel a change when I put my hands on my ribs, but no weight loss and no inches as of yet. I had this very same thing happen the first…

I don't know if it would count if you did it twice, maybe if one was in the morning and the other later in the day, but geez that would be a rough second workout. Good luck my dear!

I don't mind push ups as I do the girly style too and feel like I get stronger quicker in that exercise. I HATE butt kicks and static lunges!! For butt kicks I stopped doing them yesterday and just did plyo jumps and that was kick butt hard but I liked it better. So I squat down to touch the ground and jump up as high as I…

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your advice, you are such an inspiration thank you!:drinker:

Day two success!! I was able to do much better then yesterday. I use light weights for the first 10 days (I use 2lbs) then going to go up with each level. I am unable to do the anterior raises with weights so I just use bare hands and that is a challenge enough. I find it all hard, but I am encouraged by how short the…
