@MusicalMelanie11 Awesome update! Well done! I'm due to do my w5d3 run today too. Its bloody hot here today so I might have to wait until later this evening. I tend to pass out in the heat. Not fun. lol.

Me too!! I did w5d2 yesterday, no problem! 2 years ago I couldn't get past week 5 and quit. This time I'm determined!! day 3 is mine!!

I'm on week 5 and I'm running very slow. My focus is to get to a point where I can run and control my breathing properly as well as keep good running form. I tried c25k 2 years ago and couldn't get past week 5 because of my breathing and ankle/shin pain so I'm determined to do it right this time. I'm with taeliesyn,…

Finished W5D1 this morning. I honestly thought I'd be redoing week 4 a couple of times before even attempting week 5 but I figured all I can do is try it and I actually finished it no problem! I'm doing it on the treadmill but plan on taking it outside soon, even if I have to start over from day one.

Yesterday I was supposed to do w4d3 but because I woke up late for my night shifts only had 15 minutes to spare but I got on the treadmill and walked for 2 minutes and then ran for 10 minutes straight! Its the first time EVER I've fun longer than 8 minutes. I attempted c25k 2 years ago and got as far as 8 minute runs but…

@showjumper Great job!! I'm hoping to take it outside soon myself. I do W4D3 today on the treadmill. When you say you knocked yourself way back in the program, how long were you able to run outside compared to the treadmill?

I use the free Songza app and use the category Preformance enhancing :pop, for cycling, which i found has a bit faster beat/minute rate than the running one. lots of great music and there are other genres if pop isn't your thing. I love it!

I'm using the treadmill right now but plan on taking it outside at some point. That is my ultimate goal. THis my 2nd go at C25K. I got as far as W5D3 last time and couldn't get past the 20 minute run. This time I'm starting on the treadmill, presently on W3D3, and once I get back week 5 I plan on starting from day 1…

W3D2 done yesterday. I'm pretty proud of it too to be honest. I didn't think it would happen. I've had a back spasm for 3 days and yesterday I worked 12 hours, up at 4am with little sleep do to a sick pup, anyway long story short when I got home I didn't think I could walk the dogs for 30 mins let alone run but we got our…

Personally keto or lchf will be the way I eat for the rest of my life. I have PCOS (an endocrine problem in case you don't know) and would go without a monthly cycle for a year or more unless on medication. Since changing to this way of eating I have had a regular 28 day cycle every month now for the last 18 months. After…

Thanks for the replies. If I can get up at 330 am tomorrow I might do my run then, depends on how much sleep I can get tonight. I've really noticed that being tired really wrecks havoc on my run. I'll play it by ear for now. I really want to stick to the schedule though.

Thank you for posting this! after reading some speeds I actually checked my treadmill to see if it was in kph or mph because I'm walking 2.5-3 mph & my runs are 3.5, sometimes 4 if i'm feeling frisky. I was starting to think I'll never get this if I can't run as fast as other people are walking!! I'm glad I'm not alone. I…

Thank everyone for the advice. Last time I attempted c25k I stuck to the schedule & moved forward when I wasn't ready and then couldn't get past week 5. This time I don't care if I have to redo week one a hundred times, if w2d1 doesn't feel good, i'll go back and redo week 1. I think keeping a running log is a great idea.…

I did w1d1 today. Its my 2nd crack at this. I got as far as the week 5 20 minute run last time & couldn't make it through so I gave up. I"m determined to make it this time, no matter how slow I have to run, or how many times I have to redo a week. I will finish! I'll be 50 in just over a year & have about 50 lbs to lose.…

Add me to the restarting list! I've been struggling since a trip south in april. I've started over this week as well. Feel free to add me if you like

Hi I sent a request. I'd love to join. Thanks

I fell off the wagon before christmas, eating lots of no no foods and I felt it immediately. Achy joints, upset stomach & bloating, diarrhea (tmi sorry) head aches and stuffy sinuses. Overall miserable.

I ordered a plum in large on amazon. No time listed for date of delivery. Its still showing 8-10 weeks on fitbit.com . I ordered from amazon because the order can easily be cancelled if I happen to find one in the store. I've heard its difficult to cancel an order from fitbit.com. I hope it come quickly!

I'm in canada, that is what they say on their website too, but they only have it in black

Did you order the black one? and how long ago did you place your order? I really want the plum one but am afraid if I place my order, with 8-10 weeks for shipping, that I might find one before that in the store.

I went on the site & it when I got to the page where I put my address in it says Pre-order,ships in 4-6 weeks. wth? I thought they were available now!

I followed a low carb diet years ago and I followed total carbs at the time and did well, but struggled to maintain my diet. Now I use net and although I can stay on plan much easier I lose weight slower. Some people subtract sugar alcohols to get net carbs as well. I think doing that is a problem for me. I start eating a…

I'm so jealous of all you AMericans with your HRs!! Its not available here in Canada yet. You can preorder it from bestbuy but only in black & I want the purple. I hope they come out soon!

I use my Magic Bullet daily to make my Bullet Proof Coffee and other than that I love my Ninja!! Its great for all the chopping & dicing & stuff. also a mandolin is great, even a cheap one makes life easier.

11/19 for me. a vital member of the team but not as great as I thought I would be. lol

I use flax muffins as my bread http://www.food.com/recipe/one-minute-flax-muffin-low-carb-295649 without the stevia & cinnamon and I put it in a square container to cook it. Then I slice it & toast it a bit. works great!

Mayo! I love mayo. and bacon.....yummmmmm. But my biggest issue was that I missed pizza. I couldn't find a low carb/keto crust I liked but I finally made one I like (I mix eggs with unflavored protein power & almond flour and herbs & spices to taste, plus a bit of xanthan gum to thicken it all up. It makes a perfect crust!…

Your doctors approach is similar to the OKL groups , where the protein is a lot higher than traditional keto. I tried it for about a month and initially lost pounds that had been stubborn on regular keto. But now I'm gaining so I'm going back to traditional macros. I think if you are not comfortable with what your doctor…

I think the sugar alcohols are my issue to be honest. My sweet tooth has reared its ugly head of late. Russell stover & sugar free ice cream are not my friends. I've tried the OKL keto way for a bit now and initally felt great & dropped a few pounds but now on higher protein days I've gained weight. Time to get back into…

The only time I've seen it green is if I ate a lot of spinach or kale, could that be it?? I had a white one last week. don't ask me what I ate. No clue! :noway:
