Slim in 6
I'm going to start Slim in 6 today on top of my normal c25k program. I was wondering if anyone know if Slim in 6 would also be considered cardio or any part of it "strength training"?

Sedentary or Lightly Active
Which would you set the ticker at? I currently work from home, some days I do some heavy cleaning or repairs around the house, but most days I'm at my desk sitting. I exercise 3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes doing c25k.

Week 5
I did W5D1 today. Like every other new run, it was a lot easier out on the road than on paper. And while I say I'm not looking forward to my run on Thursdays, mostly because of what W5D3 entails, I'm gonna go out and do it anyways. At this point I want Monday to come already so I can get it done and over with lol.

So bummed :(
Today was suppose to be W5D2 but last night I noticed my calf looked a bit swollen but thought nothing of it, but today I've had to elevate it. I never thought I'd be sad missing a run day, I'm tempted to do it anyway but I know that'll just backfire on me down the road. Anyone have good recommendations to help quickly…

Weight Lifting
I want to start lifting weights next week, but I do not have access to a gym at this time. Can anyone suggest websites or their routine plan for a beginner. Also what size weights would you suggest? I own a pair of 3 and 5 lb weights.

Too Soon?
I will be finishing c25k on 10/19.. and am strongly contemplating entering a 5k on the 27th. It's cross country and seems to be set in an apple orchard. Am I cutting it too close to the end of the c25k program to already doing a 5k? Yeah I'll be able to run one on pavement, but is cross country much different? Maybe I…

HRM or User Error?
I've got the New Balance N4 (for women) HRM. I've noticed as a normal on my runs it reads my highest bpm is 240. I'm 99.9% sure I'd be dead if my bpm got that high. Anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if perhaps the chest strap is not tight enough, or the HRM is faulty. Maybe it's time to trade it for a fitbit.

That doesn't need to be smaller!!
Noticed today my feet looking thinner. Because really... when one wants to lose weight/healthier living, the main thing they want thin is their feet lol. Also after measuring today, I figure by the time I've hit my goal weight I'm going to be flat-chested (kidding!!) Anyone else have this problem?
-
Am I doing something wrong?
I started doing the c25k 9/3/12, every day I've eaten all my calories (1290) but have not eaten any of them back, but still there is no loss on the scale. This is probably the first exercising I've done in awhile, and at first I was thinking I had muscle tears, but it's been almost two weeks since and nothing has changed.

Looking for exercises to do
At some point a member shared a website that gave different exercises depending on what part of your body you wanted to work and what tools you have available. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I'm hoping to find the same site... Thanks!

Looking for supportive and inspirational friends
Looking for some more friends that will kick me in the butt and stick to losing weight. I am finally under 100 lbs to lose to get to my suggested "goal weight" and want to keep at it this time around. I almost saw a number on the scale this morning that I've never seen before, and want to hit that and more (well less lol)…

Sweet Sugar Substitute?
Are any of the sugar substitutes as sweet as sugar? We got a Kureig, so I've been drinking more coffee, and finding a dilema of getting it sweet enough for me to actually drink it. A "pre diet" cup would have about 8 teaspoons before it was sweet enough for me to actually drink. Today I tried Sweet and Low and after about…

New Balance N4 HRM Question
I just picked it up from Target this evening, and am impressed by it already, though I have a few questions for those that have either used this model or other hrm. I do not get how to calculate my higher and lower heart rate, also is it important to have that entered to calculate calories burned correctly? Also, can I…

30 Pounds by the Wayside
I've finally hit the 30 pound marker! I lost 22.5 pounds last year when I started MFP, and then fell off the wagon for about 6 months. Started again the first of January and I've already lost 7.5 pounds and 5.5 inches. Also do for new under-things and new pants!! GO ME!

Burning Calories While Cleaning
I have a new regime now when I pick up the house - and it doesn't even feel like I'm exercising! I pop in the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk and do it as I go. Anyone else do similar "exercises"?

Headaches
Ever since Monday when my mother and I restarted using MFP again after a few months hiatus... I've dropped about 5 pounds (not sure if that was water weight or what.... basically I lost all the weight I've regained the last 4 months) and been having almost daily headaches. Could it be because of the sudden weight loss? I'm…

Bad things about loosing weight
Anyone have any "bad things" that came about from loosing weight? 1. Always cold - I used to be the warm one! 2. The dogs jumping and bouncing off me - they actually hit bone now and it hurts! I think my dogs are abusive.... LOL 3. All my money went to other things, now it goes to buying smaller clothes

4.5 Months Progress
Starting picture was taken in July when I joined a weight-loss club, but it never amounted to anything. Started my journey officially on January 1st, 2011 at the same weight (274). So far I have lost 32 lb.... my goal weight is to get around 145... so officially less than 100 pounds to go (97 to be exact).

30 Pounds Lost
Woooohooo!!! I'm so excited! I've finally stopped flip flopping on the scale (couple of bad weekends) and I have finally hit the 30 pound mark! Now to reward myself with a couple of new pairs of pants and some shirts!! I think it's about time for some progress pictures too... I'll take some and add them tonight!

Hungry Hungry Hungry!!!
Every since Saturday night, I have been starving. I have been eating within my allotted calories, but I have been STARVING since. Should I adjust my calories to loose 1 pound a week for awhile, versus 2, and see if my body is all *RAWRGLE* and wanting more food?

Fruits and Veggies
Just looking for ideas on how others get in daily fruits and veggies, and if you really hold true to the 5-fruit servings and 3-veggie servings a day. I'm getting about 2 servings of veggies a day, and maybe a pear cup (lite pears in water) at lunch. Also, any ideas for portable fruits and veggies? I'm going to try this…

Where to find calories for restaurants?
Is there a good online site to find how many calories are in foods at different restaurants? I caved and went to Burger King once in January (we were out shopping and needed something to eat). I really like how you can go on their site and "build" your meal, and it will tell you all of the nutritional facts, even…
