First 5k
I am doing week 4 of C25K on the treadmill. I want to run a 5k sometime in March or April 2017. Just wondering how long did it take you to run your first 5k and did you run the entire way, run/walk or walk the majority of it? And after running for a while what is your time now? Thanks

How to start fasting
I would like to start fasting until 10 or 11 am (to begin with), but I don't know where to start. While reading threads on fasting I've noticed that people who fast don't snack as much during the day. It's something that I think will be sustainable for me. I am a teacher and work from 9 am- 4 pm. I usually eat breakfast…

PCOS and Carbs
Most people with PCOS need low carb. But when I started, I ate between 100-140g and did just fine or so I thought. I'm now thinking that I ate too many carbs and maybe if I had eaten less in the beginning then my stomach would look much better now. Besides my stomach, I still have hair on my face and I thought that would…

The second, third, fourth....time around
This is my second time trying to lose weight. I used MFP in 2012 and lost 30 lbs. I then got discouraged and quit. Part of the discouragement was from looking in the mirror every time I passed by one and thinking "I'm still fat. Why hasn't my stomach gone down any?" Also, I weighed myself all the time and hated when my…

PCOS and weight loss
I have PCOS and the last time I tried to make a lifestyle change, I quit after a year due to discouragement and personal issues. It was so hard to lose my stomach fat. It took me 1 year to lose 30 lbs and 10 of those lbs were in the first month. For those who have PCOS, what's the most weight you were able to lose in the…

I can't stick with an exercise routine!
It is really hard for me to stick with an exercise program no matter how much I enjoy it. Zumba, 30 day shred, leslie sansone, etc it doesn't matter. I can stick with it for a week at most before I get bored and have to move on. Then I get bored again and the cycle continues. Whenever I redo a program my body goes through…

HRM--Eating back exercise calories
I've read that you should eat back a percentage of your exercise calories when using MFP's calorie counter. I am wondering if this is true when using a HRM. I have a HRM with chest strap and I usually eat back 75% of the calories burned. However, since the HRM is the most accurate tool to gauge how many calories I've…

PCOS and exercise
I have PCOS and am having a hard time with my stomach. I know that you cant spot reduce but it seems like the smaller my stomach gets the smaller my legs and other parts get which still makes my stomach stand out just not as bad as before. Im trying to stick to 150 carbs a day, no more than 50 per meal (a coworker who was…

Increase or decrease calories
When you plateau, how do you know when you need to decrease or increase your calorie deficit? There has to be a better way than trial and error.

30DS..When to move on?
I have done the 30DS about 15 times but not on consecutive days. I started again today and my goal is to complete Level 1 by next Friday. I can do almost every exercise without modification except the push ups and jumping rope. I usually only have to pause to catch my breath a few times during the workout. My question is:…

I'm lost. How many calories should I eat?
I started my weight loss journey 3 1/2 weeks ago. According to MFP, I should be eating 1600 calories a day. That's with a weight loss goal of 1.5 lbs per week, which includes exercising a minimum of 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. However, according to fat2fit radio I should be eating 2112 calories. My starting…

30 day shred or 30 day squat challenge?
I'm just starting my weight loss journey and need to work on my abs (thats really my main problem). Im interested in knowing which 30 day workout will provide the best abs and is more doable for a beginner-shred or squats. I know that 30 day shred is about 20 minutes but how long do the squats take on average? Thanks.
