Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 2: Confessions of a Failed Runner
In the past year, I have begun the C25K program 4 times. Each ending in horrific injuries. Okay, that is a bit of an exaggeration (just a bit). The first time ended in knee surgery caused by a large cyst in my knee. 2nd time ended in tendonitis. 3rd time I actually made it to week 7 before I ended up with a bruised and…

April Walking Challenge
This is continued from previous Walking Challenges, but its nice when each month has its own thread. *** Anyone can join in at any time, the more the merrier, lets keep each other motivated**** Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you can't track distance (or don't want to), tracking…

C25k Question
For all of the people who are doing or have done C25k, has there been any day that you got stuck on? I'm on week 5, day 2. I've been trying for a couple of days, but I haven't been able to do the last 8 minute run. I've had to break it up. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you stay on that day until you were able to…

Just For Today (part3)
I once heard a very wise person say that she was just one cookie away from being 300 lbs again (she was about 150 lbs at the time). I thought that statement was a little drastic at the time. However, I have come to realize the truth of it. I followed a very rigid eating plan to lose the weight after my 4th child. But when…

Moms Into Fitness
Is anyone else out there doing the Moms Into Fitness videos? What results have you had? I bought 4 of the videos, but then had knee surgery and haven't started them. I'm just getting ready to start again.

The Rear View Mirror Principle
During the day a lot of thoughts and ideas come to me: "I want to have a fuzzy sock day. I want to lay in bed all day and read a book. I want to eat junk food. I want to watch movies that I haven't watched in a while. Exercise is too hard. Eating right sucks. A nap would be more fun than a stroll on the dreadmill." Last…

Ashamed to ask, but asking anyway-weight gain
Let me prefeace this by saying that I am aware of why I'm not losing weight. I am not looking for criticism or ridicule. When I joined MFP a year ago, I weighed 10 lbs more than I had on my youngest child's first birthday 6 months prior. In the last year, I have been very consistent about checking in every day, but off and…

Operation Shrink My Soul
Okay, that may seem like an odd goal, especially on a weight loss forum. About a year and a half ago, when I was 25 lbs slimmer than I am now, my brother introduced me to his future mother-in-law. During the small talk, she discovered that I have 4 children and that the youngest was 10 months old. She commented on how…

No More Trouble Zones-Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Let me preface this by saying that I haven't worked out since the beginning of July and am horribly out of shape. I attempted JM's No More Trouble Zones for the first time today. I only got 2 and a half circuits in when I had to stop. I was shaking and felt like I was going to throw up. Here is my question for anyone who…

Brazillian Butt Lift
I'm sorry if this is a repetetive question, but I couldn't find what I was looking for under search.:blushing: Have any of you done the Brazillian Butt Lift workouts? Did you like them? Did you get good results? Would they kill someone who is really struggling with Level 3 of the Shred? Thanks

Have you done Shred it with Weights?
Sorry if this is repeitive, I couldn't find what I was looking for under search.:blushing: I'm wondering if anyone has finished the Jillian Michaels Shred It with Weights DVD? Did you like it? What were your results? I'm just a few days away from finishing my second round of the 30 Day Shred and am wondering what to do…

Quality Vs Quantity
I've been trying really hard to fill my calories with "Quality" calories, calories that actually have some nutritional value. I'm wondering, on days that you have a big calorie deficit, what is more important quality or quantity? I keep hearing not to let Net Calories drop below 1200, but sometimes those quality calories…

What to Eat? That is the Question
I'm certainly not trying open up the "Eating Exercise Calorie" debate. I've decided to really give it a try to make sure that I "net" 1200 calories. I have no problem filling my calories with candy bars and ice cream, but I have a little voice on my shoulder telling me that is why this isn't working for me:blushing: So I'm…

Running Question
I've heard a lot of people say that running is really good for trimming your waist and butt. I'm wondering is it the actual motion of running, is it the calories burned, what is it that is bringing these great benefits? Thanks:flowerforyou:

Any oa90 day people out there
I have been following the OA90 day diet for about 3 years now (minus the time that my last pregnancy took). I am not actually an OA90 day person because I don't have a sponsor and there aren't any meetings where I live. I got a little off track over the summer but am trying really hard to get back on track. Is anyone else…

Shred, Now What?
I just finished Level 2 of the Shred and am planning on starting Level 3 tomorrow. For all of those who have completed the 30 Day Shred, what did you do next?

Overtraining?
I apologize if this has already been asked. :blushing: I'm wondering about overtraining. I've been doing the 30 Day Shred. When I moved onto Level 2, I continued with Level 1. I usually do Level 1 first thing in the morning, follow with half an hour on my stepper and half hour of rest. Then I do level 2. Is doing both…
