I plan to start September 4 as well. would have started this week but I have a bbq with friends over the weekend and I'm not ready to fight that kind of temptation.

SW 255lb Week 1 253.8

SW 255lb

SW 255 (and my biggest eating weekend is still in front of me!)

Don't know the calorie count. I've had a short run today so I'm not worried about going over my limit it's the grease and all that crap I worry about.

I would love to join since this is the monthly loss I'm shooting for!

Ice skating, snowshoeing for winter.

I'm on dailymile. Any friends are welcome! http://www.dailymile.com/people/polarcubby#ref=tophd

I'm not waiting. I started my changes weeks ago. I just try to add additional things when I feel I can handle them. But I do still want to make New Year's resolutions, I just have to figure hour concrete manageable goals and maybe a timeline for them.

I signed up for one in Ontario, Canada. Have 7 month to get in shape now! But it'll be an awesome motivation for me.

Dorset Cereal - Very Nutty Muesli. No added sugar just sweet raisins. I hate when my milk gets sweet after I add it to cereal and Dorset Cereal is the only one that ensures my milk tastes like milk. Very filling too!

Nice! I might have to try these workouts.

Great info. Thanks guys!

Thank you, thank you for the video!

Lately I've been thinking about how my butt jiggles when I run; it's really distracting and requires a lot of analysis.

I started on the 25th too. Will probably skip Fridays since I'm also doing C25K 3 times a week. First day was great but yesterday I was hurting! Had trouble following exercises mostly because my thighs were killing me! I'll see how it goes today but I like the ab pain, feels right.

Get rid of the leftovers. Package them up and start giving them away. Treat friends or family or even bring them to work as a surprise little feast for co-workers. I know at my office if there's free food it will disappear in a flash! It might not be an ideal solution but all the tempting food will be gone and you'll be…

If you use walkmeter and just press stop between walks in the end it'll count a bunch of your little walks as one. It will not post to dailymile until you press done. (not sure if it helps)

Never thought I'd be in the minority but GO LEAFS GO!

Nice job guys! This is shaping up to be an excellent group. I'm a little ahead on c25k (day 1 of week 2 today) but I would love to join you. Glad week 1 is going well for everyone. My week 1 was very odd. Challenging and exhausting the first day, miserable the second and steady and strong the third.

So far I've been running in the evening. I get home from work late, it's dark and there's no people on the streets. So I take the dog and off we go. It's just so easy to follow this schedule! No place to put it off or find an excuse not to do it. The dog has to go outside in the evening! So I come home from work at the…

I like dailymile a little better. It seems simpler and more user friendly. I believe friends are similar to street team in Runkeeper. Dailymile has a great and active forum and the site attracts a lot of walkers and cyclists (at least more than Runkeeper). You can participate in challenges or create some yourself (like a…

Awesome! Keep the invites coming guys!

Nice! I'm joining in!. Started C25K on the 10th and only found this thread today. I think this coincidence is a sign (or just a coincidence). Always glad to friend people, so send me an invite if you wish. Doing week 2 tomorrow. Going great so far. Noticed improvement over the 1st week. The hardest part for me is breathing…

Thanks! I'll look them all up online. Grateful for all your advice.

I love biggest loser workouts! They are indeed hard but if you do them at least 3 times a week you catch up quickly.

I love Boot Camp! I do it 3 times a week as my strength workout. Started on level 2 first time yesterday and could barely finish. It is a great challenge and I love it!

I started this one last week. I like that it has stages and I can increase the length of workout when I get stronger. So far I find that my heart rate remains high throughout the program even if I slow down out of fatigue or stick to low impact versions.

My top 3 would be bananas, yoghurt, and celery.
