eww that is just nasty.

wasa ... <holding breath>

i didnt even do that ... i asked DH to get food / drink for me ... gee ... wonder how i got so big?? :mad:

i dont use my display thingy much either. i used to use it while i was working out to get a feel for things, but now i am concentrating on working hard and dont want to lose that concentration and look at the display. silly i know ... :mad:

yummie, see the very first post in this thread for details.

i have a polar f11 (? to the model) and it calculates cals burned. i love it!!

JM, i dont trust the cals on the machines. i either use my body bugg or my heart rate monitor. i got on the treadmill yesterday and it said my HR was 52.... ummm ... dont think so.

awesome Karen!!!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE running! OMG .. i just logged my body bugg info for the time i ran and at my peak, burned 15.7 calories a minute!!

I did week 2.. wow that 2 minute "recover" period FLYS by!! it was good though. after, i did tons of ab and arm work. damn im going to be sore tomorrow!!

those who use the podcast.... is it the same music as the first or different? i am actually finding myself singing the music ...

thank you. now if we'd only get a pic of wasa ...

i was just talking w/ DH about this last week. we are about an 85% yes. only issue we really have is child care and i'm too chicken to ask my parents...

Good for you! fantastic job!! i can related to the train wreck of a body ...

Good for you!!! Congrats!

proper restriction and exercise ... 6 or more times a week. running 3 of those days. you can do it you just have to work at it!

realllly???? hmm.. <rushing to Netflix>

Julie - sorry to hear about your ex's loss ... i cant believe its just over 2 weeks!! you are going to look even hotter than ever! C

trystelle, please take care of yourself. dont push yourself.

OK OK OK ... i think i'm going to try week 2 tonight after work. welcome Mrsking! JM & Whos .. you guys rock!

everyone looks great!! i was looking thru my puter for more pics of 'Br and saw one of me and DH from 2004 ... ick! here is a comparison...

Tammy, I am 269 and doing it. i have been doing cardio and have had a personal trainer though for a little over a year and am in relatively good shape. my advice is DEFINITELY start with week 1. no questions. in fact, i am kind of repeating it with a little longer run. go for time, not speed at first. if your run is 3 MPH, thats fine. push yourself but dont over do it. we do not want you injured. you may want to try it without the incline at first. S T R E T C H!!!!! you can so do this! welcome!

jm - i agree. dont let a spin instructor get you down. a lot of the instrux at my gym have no idea what they are doing re weight training. i think i am going to do a week and 1/2 next week. run for 1:15, walk for 1:45 ... see how far i can go then. i am not ready for the full 90 second run, but can go more than the minute... good luck everyone!

go visit us in week 2 http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/couch-5k-week-21-27-october-43543/

Hi everyone, this is our second 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. More information can be found here: Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan Attached are the first and second weeks in detail Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!! 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!
