    I eat 4000 calories per day and I don't understand why so many people are starving themselves. I eat anything I want, as much as I want and feel great. I don't use cars and don't own a television.

    Hi... it was so GREAT to see your post.
    I can't starve myself either.
    I wrote this post just a few days ago

    Wow, that's crazy hot! And I thought jogging in London summer was hard!

    I have no idea how to add friends on endomondo, I'm very new to it, but will have a look now, that would be great.

    I think the only hard thing about it is dodging all the tourists, not that I run but I walk along south bank on the way to work and even walking I have to dodge loads of groups of tourists.

    Maybe I could try jogging one lunch time but I will wait till after summer?

    Where did you get a target of a 1000 calories that seems awfully low?

    Not that I am a runner but feel free to add me.

    Maintainable is the key word. Nicely said.

    Plz add me. I recently started the cough to 5k app program in attempt to get back into running. It was my workout of choice in college and law school and the only thing that kept my weight in check but after I started my career I stopped and the weight started to creep on. I don't "diet" so I'm eating 1500 - 2000 calories a day and trying to make up for it with exercise. If I lose half a pound a week I'll be thrilled!

    I don't run much and I would love to run, but I feel like I am too heavy to run right now. I can run for a few minutes and then I have to stop. Eventually I want to run for a long period of time. Someday i will get there!

    you can! i was at like 265 pounds when i started running. i started with 10 minutes here and there... then walk/run combo for a 20 or so. then one day i ran 20 minutes without a walk stop and was shocked. then i stopped breathing hard and got up to 30 minutes. now i am in love with it and running an hour at a time non stop... . still 247 pounds. and with a chronic bad back and foot issues.

    the running makes me feel like i am oh i dunno, 200 pounds..

    you can do it!

    Add me if you want I run 4 days a week after 7 years out with injury and fat gain.It is a hard long journey but I adore running training for a half marathon In October first one in 7 years although this one will be a lot slower due to me being 2 stone over weight.I try to stick to 1400 cals but some days it is hard but this is a lifestyle not a diet.

    Hi I've just started to add jogging to my fittness routine as I'm now feeling a bit more confident. As for speed I tend to set a distance first and build up on my speed over a period of around 12 weeks over the distance 4 miles at present!! 40 mins !!I cycle every day lot less pressure on the joints and jog 3 times a week or hit the tread mill and I stick to my fittness pal calorie setting 6 days a week with one rest day and I've managed to loose every week,keep up the great work

    Happy for anyone to add me :) I have a long road ahead of me, 32 kilos to lose, and aiming for .25 kilo loss per week (half a pound) I eat around 1800 cals a day.

    I've always wanted to be a runner, and kept telling myself once I lose that first 10 kilos i'll do it! Well I never got past losing 9 kilos. This time I decided I want to be a runner, and I will start today! (highest non pregnant weight 214 pounds 2 weeks ago) Just finished week one of couch to 5 k this morning, and looking forward to week 2!!!

    Hi there! I started using the c25k maybe 6.5 weeks ago about(though i'm only on week 4 day 3) but I've now grown a strong love for running. And after reading how it's great for slimming down thighs I can't wait to do my next run now :D I eat around 1300-1400 calories a day. Feel free to add me, I'd love to have more running friends! I try to do 3 runs a week, i slowed down cause I started insanity but now I'm getting back into it ^^

    I'm another slow runner-and it's running, not jogging-running is running regardless of how fast you are going. I have been a runner on and off my whole life and this year decided to try to be more consistent about it again. I just ran my first half marathon a few weeks ago! It was actually really fun! I was super slow but did beat my goal which was a realistic time for me. I'm doing another in October and this one is much less hilly and I have a lot more time to prepare (and stay on track haha). So, welcome to the world of running! I did do the Couch to 5k to begin with then modified the Bridge to 10k and by then I felt like I could trust myself to pace my runs as needed. I use Runkeeper. I'm 5'2 and have about another 40lbs to lose. I eat between 1300-1800/day depending on my exercise and hunger levels.
