You can run every day if you run properly - I'm not an expert, I read this but then it was true for me during training. Don't go for a PB every day, don't do intervals or tempo runs every day, make sure you recover - which you can do with slow runs (<70% of max HR). I followed this pattern: Monday (intervals- 30 mins), Tue…

I'm so easily knocked off my stride it's ridiculous. I'm all excited and motivated and probably obsessed when I start, then something disrupts my plans and suddenly I'm back on the sofa eating pizza for 6 months. So I'm still looking for the thing that keeps me motivated and on track. The things that keep me going are…

I'm in. I could do with cutting out added sugar. It's not that I think sugar itself is bad - I'm a fan of moderation rather than elimination - but for me it's a gateway drug to pizza, beer, M&Ms, sitting in the dark on my own eating ice cream. So, for the rest of the day there will be no added sugar for me - I'm even…

I've messed around with machines and dumbells before and didn't really get anywhere - I didn't really know what I was doing and felt very self conscious in the gym. A few years ago I did SL 5x5 and thought it was great. I knew exactly what to do each day, I saw progression and I felt like I had a programme that was…

It is hard when you feel judged by people, especially people you were close to, so my advice would be to use it as a catalyst to find something fun to do with your time now, find like minded people to be around. Try out a new sports club or exercise class for example. You could take your cute dog for a walk to the park.…

I'll join - I completed Week 2 Day 1 of C25K yesterday as I'm getting back into running. I've used running in the past to get fitter and healthier for other challenges. I did the C25K to get me started and I went on to run a couple of 10 mile charity events (Great South Run in the UK) and a couple of half marathons. I…

great teeth - I appreciate you didn't get them from working out, but well done all the same.

yeah, it's pretty obvious now that I'm reading about YAYOG. I'll be over on Amazon ordering this book if anyone needs me.

So would you recommend following the YAYOG programme rather than trying to build my own bodyweight programme based on Strong Lifts? I'm only using Strong Lifts 5x5 as the base because I did it a couple of years ago and really liked the simplicity and clear progression.

I just joined the one at work - small room - 3 treadmills, cross trainer, some weight machines, limited dumbells etc. but it costs £20 for the year.

I was making a bad joke about it being so short it looks like a belt. It's the sort of thing my Dad would say to my sister.

I think you forgot to put it on, all I can see is the belt (Dad talking). Congratulations on building the body to wear it, I'm sure hard work has gone into it so well done.

I've been away for a few weeks thanks to some changes at work. I've been commuting by train 3 hours each way, and not much walking other than the dog in the evening. As a result I've been knackered and making poor food choices. This week I've moved offices (hopefully permanently) to 6.5 miles from my house so I've cycled…

Pylometrics is basically jumping about. It was one of the p90x workout videos I had a few years ago.

I used to do some of the P90X workouts, yoga and the ab one used to kill me. Pylometrics was the only one I actually enjoyed. Anyone who does those has my respect.

Me first, today is a London day for me so that means a 30 minute walk to the office and the same at the end of the day. I then do a 30min walk with the dog when I get home. Tonight I'm going to put my trainers on and try to jog with the dog (he normally jumps on me when this happens as he's all confused and excited about…

Week 3 was OK for me, didn't log at the weekend because of life but managed to avoid sugar and eat what I think were sensible choices but probably ate too much because of not logging. Spent a few hours on Sunday walking with the dog though so didn't feel too guilty about the food. Back on track today for week 4 though - I…

This is me too - 12 mile commute each day + training for 1/2 marathon most lunchtimes meant I could eat pretty much what I wanted and lost a few stone. Then I stopped cycling but kept eating. Now I'm trying to redress the balance a but - I can't cycle to work but I can be more aware of what I'm eating.

Commitment for week beginning 18/01. Walk everyday No sugar No white bread Only say the positives (broken that already)

Interesting how many people 'slide' once one bad thing happens. It's exactly my problem - I skipped lunch so I can have pizza now, oh I've had 'bad' food I may as well have more bad food and start again tomorrow. When really I should say 'I've had pizza, it's within my calories so that's ok, it's not great but it's not'…

This week I'm going for - log daily, avoid white bread and sugar.

You've given it a good shot, you've stuck at it for 4 days, you should have abs by now. It's probably never gonna to happen, you should ask for your money back.

I'm in: SW: 245 Easter weight: 225. I think a group for this would be cool and allow us to separate progress updates from chit chat and motivation. Good luck everyone

This is me - oh I've missed my protein for today may as well eat cake by myself in the dark for the rest of the day, suddenly it's 2 months down the line. I've realised I don't like being knocked off my routine (I always thought I was fun and happy go lucky - seems not)

me: Steve Male /43 Starting Weight: 245lbs (1/1/2016) Goals: 230lbs by End of Feb 220lbs by End of April 200lbs by End of July How I plan to get there:- Build good habits that fit in with my lifestyle. - Eat calorie deficit of about 500 cals (1lb a week) - Watch calories and nutrients rather than food names and good/bad…

count me in Steve
