Hi MaryK, Way to go, so proud of you! KEEP GOING! YAY!!

Hi Lora, welcome here. Keep us posted.

Hi There, Australia?? That is awesome. Welcome here. Sounds like you are in great enough shape to begin from Week 5, Day 1. That was me too, skipped right over the 5k app and started with the 10k one. Hope you feel better fast, sucks to be sidelined. Keep us posted on here with your progress.... Good luck.

Hi Natasha, I am not a Dr., so if it persists, definitely see one. Here is an article I found. http://www.footvitals.com/problems/top-foot-pain.html Good Luck.

Good luck to you!

Great advice from everyone. There are days when I feel like continuing on and I do 2 days back to back, but the next day I do that day over again. I try not to, if I am feeling crazy, then I ride my bike, weights, etc. Your body needs to rest and repair. I like what Juna and Shawna have said, You do not want to injure yourself. Years ago I was a maniac, but you now what?, the weight will fall off faster not being crazy. I have learned that less is more. I watched Biggest Loser last night and some of them were over 350lbs., While I love their end results, as a Personal Trainer myself, they had about 4 people seriously injured in the first show. I want to scream at the TV and tell them to slow down. One guy tore his Miniscus, One popped a muscle, well, if they wouldn't be training them so hard they would not become injured. Slow down, they will fall off just as fast. When someone loses 8lbs, they all cry and feel bad, SERIOUSLY??, 8 lbs is amazing. THe one guys who lost 38lbs. 38lbs?? can you imagine, thats mor than I want to lose and gosh, I f i could do that in one week, I'd be done, lol. But you lose more the bigger you are. Anyways, rant over. Do not over do it. I have learned that the hard way. One injury and you are sidelined for weeks. Good luck and keep us posted.

hmmmm, good question. I am not in an area where I can go do a 5k. So I do that by myself. If you are feeling awesome, surely skip ahead on the 10k app, but if you cant do that then just backup a few weeks and see how you do. You know your body and what you are capable of. I love these apps for keeping me motivated. Keep us posted as to what you do!

Hi There, Randy, Good for you for finishing the app! So proud of you. If you have a hit a plateau then it is time to step it up a notch. Time for Interval training. Crossfit, etc.... I am not near a gym so I have to motivate myself. So when the app tells me to run, I will run really fast til I burst, then slow down my jog. Our bodies get used to one form of exercise and that is why we plateau. I am in the process of writng an ebook for weightlifting, but it is not done yet. So , there are some amazing apps for bodybuilding, lifitng weights, and on and on. If you go to a gym, seek help, if you cannot, like me, then check out those apps. They will guide you as you workout, I use them. Zenlabs has abbs app, butt, legs, etc... great tools. Now, whe it comes to eating. I am a BIG PALEO girl, with one huge cheat day a week. Search Paleo sites like Nom Nom Paleo, Primal Palate, my site is Cavegirlcancook.com, I have a few recipes, but I am just a homecook. Eating Low carb is the way to go for fast weightloss. Or, EATING CLEAN, think about it, Eating CLean, no processed foods, no junk, etc.... I do add rice and potatoes here and there, because it does get boring. Look online too for printable weightlifting documents, there are a lot out there. WE are all here for you cheering you on as you begin the 10k app.. You are doing amaing, keep it up. I find watching Biggest Loser and Extreme Weightloss and My 600 lb life incredible motivators for me... Good luck Randy!

Good Ones Everyone!

Hi there, Wouldn't it be fun if we could all go and meet up? I would love it. I will look it up and check it out. I used to run all the time and am back into it now with these awesome apps. So motivating.. Keep up the good work...

Hi Debi, Welcome here. I am soooooo proud of you , 63 and moving it. I am finishing Week 3, Day 3 of the 10k app. WooHoo. I am err hmmmm in my early 50's.. lol.. I am not going to be sitting around on my butt. I run circles around people half my age. Keep going, biggest cheerleader here. Hugs

Hi There GreenFoley, Start away, the C25k app is great, DO NOT be nervous, You got this all the way. Cheering you on, Begin and keep us posted.

Hi There, I am sorry that noone has answered you yet. If I were you, I would look at the days in the app and see where you could begin. Since you have completed the 10k app, can you run a 10k?? If you can, awesome for you, so proud of you, then I would begin later in the app of the 13.1. PLease keep me posted as to what you do? Maybe someone else who has done it can help too. Good luck.

Hi There, Congrats on your 2nd day. Thats great. I am not a Dr., so I cannot diagnose your situtation, but one thing that it might be is lactic acide buildup, here is an article on it. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-does-lactic-acid-buil/ It could be what you are experiencing. As you begin ruinning your body must adapt to this new regimen. See if this is what you are experiencing. Happy Running.

Hi Marie, 72?? I am sooooo proud of you, you go girl!!!!! Walk, Run, does not matter, you are moving... That matters. You are an inspiration, keep us posted on here. Big Hug to you.

Cookie, I like you you, you are sooo funny. So, I assume you are Cookie816 on MFP?? I added you.

Hi KBO, Welcome and Good luck, we are all cheering you on..

Wow, You are busy busy. Good for you for wanting to Run too. I am so impressed. I keep seeing the posts from people about doing the Disney run in February, I think we should all meet up and do it together, now wouldnt that be so much fun?? I can train for a half?? I have done a few, 1 Marathon (never again), lol. Now that would be a blast. Anyways, Listen to your body and rest when it says to rest. Goos Luck and keep me posted.....

You Bet Laura, When I feel awesome I do a lot of workouts, when I am tired, then I rest..... My body says so...

Hi Kikie, Welcome on here. You have lots of friends on here to help you on your journey. Getting healthy before baby is so important, then when gain pregnancy weight it will not be so bad to get it off afterwards and keep it off. Your first step Is to figure out which workout is best for you? IT IS what you enjoy the most.. If it is walking, running, biking, dvds, etc.... Like me, I do not like to ride a bike (only around the block, not distance). I love to hike and walk, so there ya go. 1. Do the workout you love to do. 2. Start small then go big. 3. Cardio, Strength, Flexibility 4. Change your Diet. Now, i hate the word diet. UGGHH, Lifestyle Change, once you start eating healthy, your body will love you and crave it. I have pizza on Friday nights, healthy breakfast on Saturday mornings, a cheat meal for lunch (our out day usually), and back to healthy that night and the rest of the week. You can Cheat all day Saturday if you want, but we are Friday night Pizza people, always have been. Now i could cheat all day Friday, but I do 2 cheat meals a week and that is it. NOw the C25k app is great to start. You do not have to run when it says so, walk fast instead, repeat days when you want. These apps are awesome. 3 days a week is it, other days weight train and do anything else you love to do. Make sure you rest too, it is oyur bodys way of healing and building muscle. Good luck to you, we are here cheering you on. Hugs!

Hi, When I switched to a Galaxy s5, I have no music on it, so I am using the Pandora app and I love it.

Thanks, I for the life of me could not remember what those mats we re called. lol
