how many cals are you consuming? are you exercising? i find if i do not consume enough calories and then go for a run and maybe strength train, i am ' ' this close to passing out. good luck.

hi - you are at 43.82% take how much you have lost / how much you want to lose ...

ketchup smells funny.

Fab, you may want to start a new Actytrainer post... for others who have/want one. just a thought

denise - what i suggest is just to jump back on track now. (i know, not easy). eat your scheduled lunch / snack (if any) / dinner. dont deprive yourself cause you will then just be so hungry and want to veer off path again. you can do this!

karen - way to go! i am so proud of you!

kay - great job on week 2. i thought my first week 2 run i was going to keel over! great job on the incline! i am too chicken to start running outside yet. i need to find a good path where i will 'inspect' it before running ... i dont like to look at the ground when i run ... who knows what i am going to do at a marathon! delta!!! ahhhh! i am so excited to see you here. please visit often. i think we all need all the encouragement we can get...!! congrats on your past runs and good luck on your 1/2. where is it? sweethot - your pace is faster than mine. my brisk walk is 3.5-4.0 and my run is 4.4-4.7. i get about 1.78 miles in my run. i have not started an incline yet.

the qualifying time for my age was CRAZY ...

JULIE - YOU BEAT KATIE HOLMES!! (by an hour!!) you rock woman!!!!

me too!! i've actually looked into Boston and you have to pretty much pre-qualify, so i'm thinking the disney marathon 2009.

JM - it was just a tad over 4 hours ... i posted her official time in one of her PS threads ... she did simply amazing!!

DAMN!! i just gave away all my hugely fat clothes ... my new 18s wont qualify for really fat clothes do they? (not that i'm bragging in any way, shape or form - f that ... yeah i am!) woooo hooo ... size 18 pants ... wooo hoooo ... go me ... * *no, i'm not really like that, but yeah, i am kinda stoked going from 6XL (44-46 ish) to size 18/20...

my trainer told me it would hold 2 weeks worth of data.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and congrats on the 5 mins!

im chicken to do spinning for some reason. one being i dont want my butt to hurt (yeah, i know - pathetic).. the other being that the classes are the days i see my trainer and heaven forbid i change that ... i am probably going to do week 3 this and next week. i may do a step class tomorrow after work ... i dunno ... i am such a chicken! i did step when i was 340-350 lbs+ and now i'm chicken. i just dont want to get injured....

well, isnt it obvious??? it's when you go tinkle ... :heh:

i've never been there, is it cold?

OMG JulieNYC!!! 4:23:09 finish time ... that is stunningly amazingly wonderful!! HUGE ENORMOUS congrats to you!! :clap2: :hail: :clap2::hail:

what i had to do was experiment. and it still is a flux of cals/carbs based on what i do that day. i dont want to stay the same cals so i can keep my body confused and the metabolism going ... also, if i am working out (especially running) i need to up the cals a bit so i dont get light headed. good luck!

i think it's when you drink until you cant hold any more liquid. ???

i ran week 3 / run 1 today. that 3 mile run went OK. for some reason, the 2nd time was easier. good luck everyone!

Hi everyone, this is our fourth week in the Couch to 5K program. This is designed to be a 9 week program, but you can repeat weeks (as I will be doing) until you are comfortable moving on. However, you are not supposed to skip weeks. It has been strongly suggested by trainers and runners alike to NOT run on consecutive days and to only run 3 days a week. More information can be found here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml Attached are the first thru fourth weeks in detail Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!! J This is the place to check in and support with each other and see how it is going. What week are you doing? How is it going for you? Is it too difficult / too easy? Any comments?? Good luck everyone!

sorry - LBT was down for awhile. working on it now

Wasa, This research is absolutely amazing. Thanks so much - wish i had 1/2 the information of this post before i was banded.
