Hey, seems quite a quiet forum but thought I would say hi! Er... I'm a mum of three and full time student (Glasgow Uni). I'm off now til September so taking the opportunity to turn myself into a MILF over the summer :laugh: , well I can dream!

I like (well, like might be too strong) running and my goal is to run a 10k in October. Anyway, if there's anyone about please say hi and happy to be added as a friend too, all support and banter welcome!

    Hi,
    I'm in Glasgow's West End, mum of one (19 but not at home) and work full-time. I have a wee dog that I can take walks and I've got a "Biggest Loser" bet on with my two brothers and niece - the deadline is Christmas! So any help appreciated....... I've been doing this a week now and haven't been doing too badly. Staying under my goal mostly, so quite pleased. I've lost a lot of weight before, but have stopped smoking (2 and half years now) and I've gained 3 stone!! yikes!!
    Well, now I've conquered the *kitten*, it's time to conquer the flab!! lol I can't do any running as I've got a dodgy hip and knee - maybe it'll get easier if i lose some weight first..... I have been told by a fitness instructor that a brisk walk is as good as a run, so I'm starting with that. Hope to see you round here for some mutual support :-)

    Hi I am from Glasgow. I downloaded the app, but this is the first time I have been on the website.

    Well I am now 11 weeks in, 15Kgs (over 2 stone) lighter. Which is good steady progress ....

    I have just started back on the 10Km runs, it still hurts like it used to, to better your times each week.

    Fingers crossed I can keep it going ....
