A great challenge, I'm in. Me:0 LNS: 9 Aw crap.....

Best of luck in your future journey

Best of luck

Cheers, I'll try the plantronics, see how long they last

Noble sentiment but given your narcissistic profile pic I'm not sure if you're being tongue-in-cheek?!

It starts with trying to lose 5 pound and ends with entering triathlons! Best of luck

Go for it! Get your kids involved, keep you motivated

Best of luck

Meh , I'm no nutritionists but sounds like a fad/gimmick. You may think you're a 20(?)something but your body is about 70,000 years old! Thousands of generations before you have evolved to cope with glut/famine, i don't think this will give you miraculous weight loss

I'm no expert but this is a good read , http://goo.gl/5RUdfb - food calories are really only a guide , actually energy consumed will vary with personal metabolism

Although I've got a Garmin chest strap hrm , i wish I'd got an optical version now just for convenience. Maybe the chest type are more accurate but i think the optical versions are sufficiently accurate for any non- medical use.

Don't be put off by the "not enough" comments. Sure, it would be good to get lots of training and miles in but these obstacle events don't have to be raced round, just finishing is a great feeling. Just go and enjoy yourself, it's even better with a few friends

Personally I like bontrager simply because I can get them on and off without resorting to tyre levers. But one important factor to consider is the rubber compound, soft 45a rubber will be grippier than cheap standard 70 tyres. A lot of good brands will make various compound versions of the same tread tyre

There's a very good article at the top of this forum, under, recommended reading by ThickMcRunFast about this topic

Keep going, good luck

I don't really know any girls who look like the model in the article (I wish! ) but the girls in my gym who do look like that seem to be in there every day, so I think -yes, if you want to model look then it'll take a lot of sessions every week

They may have questionable employment practices but Sports Direct do have lots of cheap stuff

Just count it as general aerobics, good luck

I'm in Yorkshire, feel free to add me.Best of luck

Absolutely, yoga should help improve posture and reduce injuries, go for it

If you're just starting, try a little of everything! not all in one session but don't get stuck using the same 3 or 4 machines everytime, best of luck

Just use general aerobics, should be close enough, best of luck

Best of luck, aren't you doing any exercise as well, even if it's just walking?

Try making some other goals than just weight loss. 10k? Half marathon ? Crossfit ? Try a fitness goal rather than a weight goal.

Celery with Tex mex dip

a little "herd behaviour" can prevent you from being preyed on by predatory munchies....

If it ain't a compliment then it's jealousy :*

A watched kettle never boils.... try making enjoying your exercise your goal rather than some over-simplified metric. (Ps, it will take time)

When I worked in the States and showed my driving licence to get booze, the girl thought it was a University of Kentucky licence? ! !

50 lbs is a great achievement, wish I could manage that.Best of luck with your new targets,
