Restarting tonight!
I finally got me a treadmill! I hope to move outside when it's warmer and lighter longer but for now outside isn't an option so treadmill it is. I did a few weeks in the summer and loved it but then stopped, for no reason that I can remember. Having the treadmill in my house should give me no excuses. I am having ear…

Heart Rate
Hi! I'm new here. I did day 1, week 1 last night on the treadmill. I have a heartrate monitor but didn't have it on. I put my hands on the machine's HRM and it calculated my HR to be about 122 just after the run portion. I think I will pull out my HRM to compare, but it should be pretty close. Is this normal? What is your…

Not losing while working out
Here's my scenario: I can do a workout routine, 30 day shred or whatever. I keep it up for 4-5 weeks then usually have some reason that I take a break. Recently I did 5 weeks of turbo fire then life got in the way for two weeks. During the workouts I lost 0 pounds. I actually lost very few inches as well. I know that I did…

Heart Rate Monitor Deal
I don't know anything about the quality of the HRM or how good it is, but here's where you can get a good deal on one, http://1saleaday.com/watch/. You can probably look up the watch itself on google and research it if you want. I already have one so I'm good. Just thought I'd pass along the find for anyone who wants one.

Here's the challenge for the new month, December. No fast food for the whole month. Make it what you need it to be. Need to cut out all eating out - go for it. Need to allow Subway - go for it.

I really want to work out in the mornings
but, I have a hard time getting up. I have a hard time getting out of bed in time to just get ready for work, let alone adding a workout. I won't say that I'm not a morning person. Once I'm up I'm fine. Its just the getting up that's hard for me. Anyone have this issue and work through it? Find good ways to get yourself up…

So, I am starting the Couch to 5K on Monday. I have a couple people elsewhere that are doing it with me, no one physically with me.

If I…
