Yes

Many thanks for the responses. I've been gathering up a few bits and pieces to get myself underway. I opted for a Trangia Triangle and spirit burner as my cooker of choice. Its lightweight and functional for my needs at this time. I went for a Vango Ultralite 900 sleeping bag mainly due to online reviews and a great offer…

That's pretty ingenious and a good cheap, light option.

Watched some of the videos, that guys insane but funny:) Not so sure if hammock camping is suitable for me as there are very few trees in the mountains near me. Something I will look into though for the future!

I appreciate you want to lose weight and you have a low calorie goal, but what is your starting point? What weight, age, height etc. then I guess we can advise whether your on track to a healthy goal or not.

I listen mainly to underground progressive house, techno, trance and psytrance :D So if you would like some choices from among that I will send links :)

Where are you at the moment with your stats? 'Trying not to eat' sounds concerning in itself so leting us know where your starting point is might help us to give advice.

I'm in for 100 miles. I record my progress on https://app.trainingpeaks.com/ so will add the miles on the thread as I do them.

Add me, I'll happily support you in this journey :)

I run usually 4 times a week and do Yoga and stretching almost everyday in some shape or form. Stretching techniques can be performed daily, in fact I would strongly recommend it. The difference in feeling lithe, fluid and free from aches and pains is a great motivator when performing any other sport.

You're a scientist, should you not do some fieldwork and several experiments?

Looking great, keep up the good work :D

You should place no expectations upon yourself other than to continue to eat healthy, exercise and keep an eye on your weight occasionally if you feel its getting too low/high. It seems to me you're doing just fine and maintaining a healthy weight and balance in your life. Time to focus on other things you enjoy and can…
