It works! I track my food (often). I workout 5 days per week. I mix it up a bit by doing C25K and 30 Day Shred. I also average 15k steps per day. It hasn’t been easy at all. But it works!!

Way too fast!!! Slow and steady wins the race
I did C25K on the treadmill. This is a first for me, as I ran outside the first time I did it. Anyway... I was walking at 3.5 and running at 4.5. That worked for about the first two rounds. After that I was exhausted!! Couldn't even finish the workout. Such a let down. Anyone have any settings advice? How's everyone else…

Anyone using a HRM?
My HRM (Polar) is my best friend. During the running parts, my heart rate gets up to 205 bpm. That is extremly high. It scares me because I have never been at that level of exertion before. Is anyone else using a HRM?

Has anyone ever done a 21 day cleanse?
I'm embarking on this 21 day cleanse that I read about. I liked it because it's more of a mind and body cleanse. I'm not looking to release "toxins" as my body does that perfectly fine on its own. I'm looking to be more in tune with my body learning how to adjust to healthier living. I'm looking for anyone who was able to…

Did I eat too little?
Today was a great day. I worked out really hard at the gym. But because I went to the gym after work, I really wasn't hungry at dinner time. Therefore I only ate about 900 calories. When I finished my day I have over 1000 extra calories left. I don't feel so great about that because I feel like I should've eaten more. But…
