insanity workout
How long did it take for you to start noticing a difference in your weight? I am in the middle of week 2, and nothing is really hapoening. I went from not working out at all, to working out 40 mins 5 times a week. I know I still need to alter my diet which would help, but I'm a little worried since I'm almost half way…

Deck of Cards workout.
So I got this idea for a workout from my boyfriends brother, so I am sharing it,but also asking for your help in how to log it. You take a deck of cards and assign a workout move to each suit. Today I chose hearts as squats, diamonds as jumping jacks, clubs as push ups, and spades as plank to work on my stomach muscles.…

running
I am starting to run again...but my problem I am noticing is, when I run on the treadmill, I obviously can keep a pretty good pace because I can set it. But on nice days, I prefer to run outside, but when I do, my pace is all over the place. I get really tired and out of breath quickly, and then feel like giving up...much…

How did you do it?
I have tried eating healthier and exercising several times (too many to count)..but I want to make it happen this time!! How did you make it a habit? I feel like when I allow myself cheat days, then it becomes cheat week and cheat month. I get frustrated so easily with exercise. If I feel like I can't keep going anymore, I…

I can't believe I'm finally doing it!!
I have successfully been able to run a mile for 2 weeks now! And I dropped my time by 2 minutes this morning! Now I just need to work on running longer!! I never thought I would be able to do this! Running is finally starting to become addicting :)

reebox easytone
Has anyone tried them? I don't like the way the sketchers shoes look-so I thought about maybe the reebox ones. A girl I work with has the sketchers and let me tell you they are hard to walk in!

hello, im ashley, and im a foodaholic.
I need some good meal/snack recipes that are easy and not very time consuming. I currently am going to nursing school full time and work full time, and I make a lot of unhealthy choices which I tell myself is because I don't have the time to deal with food and exercise. I feel like I am at an all time low. I have been on…

Training tips for running a 5K
I signed up about 6 months ago to run a 5K with my brother in October. Of course...being a procrastinator I haven't even started running yet. I have never been a runner. I need to know some good training ideas for running a 5K. I really want to do this and not have to walk the whole thing!! I tried couch-5K earlier this…

so frustrated with myself
I just keep gaining. I keep falling off the wagon. I keep thinking I will "start over" the next meal..but then I get on the scale and can't help but get disappointed. When does this become a lifestyle and not feel like a diet anymore. As much as I feel like I want to be healthy and lose weight, I can't seem to help myself.…

Proud of myself!
I know it doesn't sound like much to some people, but on Saturday I ran for 5 mins straight!! I have been trying to do C25K and the program is just not as easy to follow as I thought, so I am altering it and everyday that I run I am upping my time by 30seconds..(and if I think I can keep going I will) I am also starting to…

Has anyone ever gotten married in Vegas?
My boyfriend and I of 9 1/2 years are going to vegas in April and we are talking about getting married while we are there. Neither of us want a big wedding. But my question is if we decide to tie the knot...where is a good place to do it!! We aren't wanting to spend a ton of money, but I don't want to be married by Elvis…

Who's with me?!
I decided I am going to really try hard to get my water intake up today! I have not been very good the last couple of weeks at drinking water. I have a 27oz water bottle here at work and I am going to try to drink one before noon, one before 4 and one before 8 tonight. That would bring my total to 81oz for the day!!

frustrated
So I haven't logged my food in the last couple of days (shame on me!!) but I haven't really changed my eating habits, I am still making good choices. I have been doing the c25k lately and running stairs, and I am not losing any weight--I actually gained 1.1 lbs on my weigh in on Monday. I thought for a moment that maybe I…

ideas??
Does anyone have any low calorie snacks that might help wake me up? I'm really dragging, which is when I would usually go for a pop or something. I actually am not really that hungry, but I think i'm probably lacking some sort of nutrient. I went for a short walk when I went to lab at work and then ran up 75 stairs trying…

Climbing Mt. Everest!!
...Ok well maybe not really. A co-worker and I decided we were going to map out how many times we would have to go up the stairs here at work to equal climbing Mt Everest and see who can get to the top first!! A little friendly competition always helps!:happy: Mt Everest is 29,029 feet!!! From the bottom floor where our…

What gives you your motivation?
As bad as I want to look good and lose weight, I still don't have the self control to do so. I still go eat the horrible foods I've always eaten with the mentality that "I'll make a good choice the next meal." Obviously it isn't working for me since the scale continues to go up. I started myfitnesspal in September at my…

Question for people around my size
I am about 5'5", 153lbs and am looking to lose about 25lbs. I currently have my calories set at 1200 a day, and I am finding I do really good until dinner time, and then I am starving and wanting to eat anything in sight. Then once I'm done binging I feel like crap, both because my stomach hurts and because I can't believe…

5K training material
I am needing some websites or information on training for a 5K. I have the c25k website, but was wondering if there is any other good places to get information. I am running my FIRST 5K on October 16th and think since I don't run I should start training now, rather than in August like my packet states I should start…

nervous...but EXCITED!
I am signing up to run a 5K in October. I figured that is far enough out to give me enough time to train (since I DON'T run) and the training would hopefully help me shape up and lose a little weight, along with starting to eat better. I now have something to look foward to, so let the training begin!!! I think my little…

Does anyone know where I can get a nutrition guide for Tasty Tacos resturant. I don't see one on their website and I've been looking on the internet and not seeing anything close. I know this was NOT a good choice in food for my lunch, but I still want to log it so I know how much I'm going to have to run to make up for…

weird questions
So I decided out of nowhere that I LOVE ORANGES!! Not a bad thing, except I started eating 2-3 a day. I also started getting acid reflux several times a week now as well....is it possible the two are related? I don't want to give up my oranges...but I think I may have to go down to one a day. What do you think?

Starting C25K
I am thinking about starting C25K as my news years resolution and making it my goal to be able to finish the 9 weeks. I am terrified of running though. I always feel like I can't go any further and I feel like I'm going to "die" after running for only a few mins...and end up usually giving up. I have tried a program…
