Any advice for a C25K Newbie?
I am starting the C25K for probably about the fifth time... but it's going to be the first time I see it through! So...Anyways, my question is that since I've only done day 1 and day 2 of week 1, I notice that my ankles are sore. Not extremely, but a little. Is this to be expected? I feel like I could do more than what…
Lost my motivation
I moved down to SC in July and before I'd found work, it was SO easy to eat healthy, preparing my food at home, exercising. I was doing AWESOME! I was down like 20 lbs. But I am a dental hygienist and waitress on the weekends, and the past few weeks since I've found more work, I've REALLY fallen off the wagon.... Honestly,…
Finally Exercised
I finally exercised tonight. And since I am sporadic at exercising... Well, decided to work on C25K. Isn't it pathetic that it took me 43 mins to do 2.5 miles! :'(
Looking for Christmas Eve meal- preferably crock pot cooked
This year is the first year ever that my husband and I are spending Christmas Eve not with one of our families. He works during the day and I work until late, so I want something that I can prepare in the Crock pot and have ready when he gets home.. Any ideas & recipes would be appreciated?!
Christmas got you down?
Christmas this year is so depressing to me. My husband and I were both working up until July, in which I left my job to move and August my husband got out of the military. Being a dental hygienist, I never expected I wouldn't be able to find another job. Here it is five months later, and still no hygiene job. My husband…

Starting to "like" exercise
Ok... So started P90x on Monday, and I'm starting to LIKE to exercise. That's amazing to me, considering in the past three years I have become SO lazy. It is still hard to get started, but after starting, I don't want to stop. I however still DO NOT like yoga, so went and did C25K instead. Been wearing a heartrate monitor…
I need Help getting my husband on the weightloss wagon
My husband got out of the Navy in August, since he was about to get out, he started rebelling about his weight a short time before. His thought was apparently, "I'll show them, they can't tell me I have to lose weight anymore." Well guess what, he sure showed them... but only hurt himself. Yesterday, we went looking for…
Getting ready to take my BEFORE measurements
I'm getting ready to take my before measurements today, I plan to start tomorrow, since I'd like to keep Sunday as my rest day. What's everyone doing, classic or lean? I did classic before, when I was doing it for two weeks with my husband. I'm going to switch it up and try the lean this time. Then I figure once I complete…
In between sizes
In the middle of July, I went to buy new pants, because none of mine fit me. I bought a grey pair of slacks, 14Ps, They looked good although I couldn't believe how big I was getting. Since then, I've lost about 18 lbs, gradually and slowly. The grey slacks look horrible, because they HANG off of me. SO, since I have an…
I have four tires and a spare, I don't need another!
Since July I have lost about 16 lbs, and it's starting to show, but not nearly in all the places that I want to see the loss. I feel like the bulk of my extra 30 lbs is located right around my stomach and thighs. Any helpful tips on diet or exercise to get ride of this would be greatly appreciated!
Share your C25K Experiences
Has anyone used C25K to train for a run? I've never EVER been a good runner, but I do like to do it. I'd love to train for a 5 K but don't know how to go about doing it. I've heard people say that they started this way and I have it on my ipod. Please share your experiences and what helped you train for running.
Dislike
So, I truly dislike having to "exercise." I think because when I was younger my parents never worked out (of course they too have struggled with being overweight for years.) I never learned to make exercise a regular part of my routine. Now, at 30 years old, it is a constant battle for me to put exercise into my daily…
Who's ready for HALLOWEEN?!
Who's ready for Halloween? I love this time of year! :) Unfortunately since we just moved to the area, we are in a tiny apartment and haven't made any friends, so I doubt I'll even be decorating let alone any fun Halloween parties but still excited for it. :)
Hold me accountantable Jillian!!!
So, I talked my friend into getting JM 30 day shred. I had bought it and was going to start it so she got it too. We both started it and were going along well, and then bam! I jumped off the wagon, and eventually dragged her off with me too! :'( Now, we both want to get back on, but we don't seem to be able to just hold…
Going grocery shopping today... what to get
Hubby and I are going grocery shopping tonight so I need some quick, easy meal ideas? We aren't huge veggie eaters, we like just a few, lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, green beans. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Losing weight, nobody sees it
So in the past two months, since starting mfp, I have lost almost 14lbs and 14 and 1/2 total inches (from all areas). Clothes that didn't fit very well are starting to feel good again. I feel good about it, but one thing. My husband doesn't notice a difference. I just started a new job and we moved to a new city where I…
Cold shower after workout, ok or not?
I just finished Day 2 of 30 Day Shred and I'm sooo hot and sweaty after. I mean, sweat running down my nose (as well as everywhere else) sweaty. I've heard before that you shouldn't take a cold shower after a workout, but all I want to do is take a cool shower and get washed off. Is it ok to take a cool shower or should…
How to stop the exercise mat from moving
I just started 30 day shred today, so had to drag out the ole exercise mat. Had a really hard time because it keeps sliding around on my carpet. Any tips on how to keep it still? Going to look really tacky when I duck tape that thing in the middle of my living room floor!
Getting Ready to Start 30 Day Shred
I just bought the dvd off of Amazon. It will be here on Tuesday, so I'm looking to start it on Wednesday. I haven't heard too much about it, just seen photos of great results so I'm excited to start it. But I'm also super nervous! I've seen the biggest loser, I KNOW her attitude and I'm thinking it's probably going to kill…
Not getting enough calories
I have started eating at home instead of eating take out all the time and started tracking what I'm eating and I'm not getting enough calories. I am averaging barely over a thousand a day. I don't feel hungry or not satisfied but the diary keeps warning me that I'm consuming too few calories. One day I have all my fat but…
