Finished C25K- still hate running!?
When I started C25K I hated running. It was something I wanted to conquer though, and I did. YAY! I love what running has done for my body, but I still hate it! I dread each run, and still haven't found the enjoyment in it most people seem to. I have been looking for other cardio workouts that I would enjoy more, but has…

My NSV: Rushfit-DONE!
Finally finished the Rushfit program tonight, feels so great to get it done with! Taking measurements tomorrow am, can't wait to see the difference it's made. I know I got a lot stronger through the 8 weeks, however the last 3 weeks I've been pretty sick and my cardio and strength training really took a hit. But I…

No change and gaining weight!?!
So I've been working out and eating better since May, adjusting things here and there as needed. The past 2 weeks I have actually been gaining weight, but haven't had any major changes recently. I upped my calories to 1400 from 1200 Sept 3. I usually have a decent cheat meal each week that will put me a good 1,000+…

Working out while sick?
I've been trying to push through with this recent cold/flu, but I just have NO energy and feel like crap anyhow, so this week I've only worked out about half as much as I'd like to. Do you take time off when your sick or just push through?

Love hearing "You're so skinny!" and other NSV!
So far I've lost about 16 lbs, which I know isn't much, but it's a big enough difference that many people around me obviously notice cause I keep getting tons of "You are really getting so thin, you look great!" Total boost in my self-esteem! Before starting this, I never thought I'd get to a point where I actually like my…

Had one heck of a week, Restarting tomorrow!
I started changing my diet and exercise habits the middle of May. So far I have done really well with both, allowing myself to have things I really crave in small portions when it's possible, or an extra rest day when I'm truly exhausted. My goal has been not only to lose weight and be in better shape, but to create a…

Those doing C25K-what other workouts do you do?
I've still got 3 weeks left of the C25K program, and really want to stick with it 3 days a week. What workout routines are you doing in conjunction with running? Have done JM 30DS, thinking about doing Rushfit since he has 2-3 days cardio already worked in. Suggestions?

Have any women tried Rushfit?
I'm thinking about trying Rushfit since we have it, and I can fit my C25K program in too instead of Insanity. Have any women tried the program? Any opinions?

Over 100 cal difference between MFP and HRM
I just got my Polar FT4 HRM today, and used it on my evening jog for the first time. Up to this point my cal guesstimate on MFP has only been about 250 cal for 30 min jog/walk. According to my HRM today, I burned 383! Now I'm really confused cause I thought most people said MFP overestimated cal burn.

mowing lawn IS a workout!!
A couple years ago we finally got ourselves a self-propelled mower, and I have always taken advantage of making that chore easier on myself. Today it dawned on me that if I didn't use that little lever, I was working A LOT harder. Any one choose to do this too for that extra calorie burn??

HRM with hr and time on same screen?
I was looking into getting the FT4 per many recommendations here, but I'd like something that has time and HR on the same screen. Anything like this out there? For under $100 would be even better!

Zumba videos or Wii zumba recs
I love doing zumba once or twice a week to break up my running and 30 day shred routine, but hate that our local zumba classes are only at night, right at dinner time (hate leaving the family). Any good recs for zumba workout videos or the wii zumba?

zig zag calories vs. calorie increase with more excercise
I have read a lot of articles talking about how zig zagging calorie intake through the week keeps your metabolism up compared to eating the same lower amount every day. A few sites have calculators on expected calorie intake for each day based on zig zagging. I have been doing MFP for a few weeks, and my BMR with normal…
