Look up interval training, which is a series of sprinting and walking. It's very good for you, but if you're not in decent shape you could injure yourself easily. I did the C25K program and it really worked for me. Just put your speed away when doing it and focus on making sure that you run the entire time. If it gets…

Yes, I did the couch to 5K program a couple years ago and it changed my life. Once I finished it I worked on improving my speed and distance. Since doing that AND using my fitness pal I'm down almost 50 pounds now from last February. Very cool program and it works as long as you stick to it. I don't know about the app, but…

Pretzels. But be careful, they make you thirsty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRaLpHoZA8E

Is a vomiting snake like instant death?

Bet you love that movie the Descent. My phobia is enclosed spaces so parts of that movie really freaked me out. I was fine when the monsters came out.

That's not actually a confession...that's more of a cry for help.

I don't know where babies come from.

I had a shock like that after thinking I was killing it on the elliptical. I could do the elliptical for like an hour (dripping with sweat). So I thought I could at least run a couple miles outside. I didn't make it 5 minutes before I had to stop and question my life. Completed the couch to 5K outside (sometimes on an…

I got back into running shape a couple years ago with Couch to 5K. Awesome program. Got addicted to them and ran 6 races last year. Hoping to do more in 2013. Good luck!

A statue of myself made of chocolate and pizza. Weird, it's even on Amazon. Free shipping.

Stuff I've been listening to lately while running: The Walkmen - The Rat Lo' Fidelity Allstars - What You Want The Darkness - Get Your Hands Off Of My Woman Passion Pit - Little Secrets Underworld - Born Slippy Nuxx Matt & Kim - Lessons Learned Green Day - Letterbomb Deadmau5 - Strobe Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies…

Ohhhhh snap!

My wife had the same thing when we started this. I was shedding pounds and she wasn't losing at all (or barely). But after probably 5 weeks of being true to her calories and exercise she noticed her ring was looser and she fit better in her clothes. Then the scale finally started showing some progress. Stick with it.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at the drive-in. My parents made my brothers and I sit next to the car with the little speaker on our laps. Hmmm....I wonder what they were doing in the car?

I really like Kellog's All Bran Complete Wheat Flakes. 2 servings is nice and filling for me and not too bad on the calories. I'll add raisins to it sometimes as well.

Based on my experience (a couple years ago), I was doing close to 60 minutes on the elliptical, but then after a couple weeks I went out to try jogging and couldn't make it 1 mile. So I do not believe it is the same as actually running, but if you work up a good sweat, you will be burning calories. Perhaps if you adjust…

Great job!

I've lost 46 lbs since Valentine's day with just eating better (and less) and running 3 times a week. Just put your head down, work at it and don't weigh yourself every day and before you know it you'll be amazed at how much you've lost.

I did the C25K last year, ran a couple races (slowly) then took the winter off. I've since lost over 40 lbs and re-did part of C25K back in March. I'm now running 5 miles 3 times a week at about a 10 min mile pace. At my last 5K (on Memorial Day) I hit a 9 minute mile pace. I have a 5K tomorrow morning so I hope to do…

^ No problem. It's definitely my favorite low cal food site. Forgot to mention, she usually posts the MFP calorie info on her recipes as well.

http://www.emilybites.com/ I love this site. Everything I've made from it so far is great. The Taco Cupcakes, the Buffalo Chicken Wraps, the Philly Cheese steak sloppy joes, the Chicken Quesadillas. I'm getting hungry now.

I agree with LilRedRooster. Switch it up for a week or so then go back to it. Also, how are you timing your runs? Do you run to music? I'm about to jump up to 50 minutes (I did the C25K as well) and I can't run that long without music, so when I feel like it's getting stale I mix it up a bit and just enjoy the music while…
