I have had exactly this issue I tried and stopped C25K so many times. Now getting on much better with real improvement results by working on breath control and laughing off the C25k intervals etc.

Be prepared to start out slow, get good shoes and a good sports bra. C25k and similar programes are helpful to a lot of people, also a tracking app like Strava can be really motivating to keep an idea of your distances and improvement. I don't know about joint pain etc, that happens to people when they get older regardless…

How long did you take out and did you have physio or just rest until pain free?

Unfortunately not.

I stick with the ballpark figure based on small <5", medium up to 7" etc where medium is about 100 cals. No, it isn't perfect but at the end of the day it is 1 banana or some days, maybe 2. I always weigh higher calorie items as it isn't as easy to eyeball say bread or potatoes or cream but I don't think it hinders me to…

Hi, Well this in itself is the point I am trying to get to- is there any point in distinguishing between added sugars and natural ones? I would argue from my own experience that added sugar tends to be in products that are also high calorie or lower GI so cutting them out can help weight loss in those terms but I wonder if…

thank you, this tends to be my approach! do you mind me quoting you on this in my blog?

thanks, do you mind if I quote you on this? I have like, 200 readers lol so it's not going round the world!

talking simple sugars, not carbs as a whole.

I didn't ask about distinguishing added sugars from natural sugars via MFP. I'm asking if anyone knows how the number is set for sugars and if anyone puts much effort into hitting this number and why? When I say where is this 45g coming from I meant how is the number established as a recommendation, not where in my food it…

You need a calorie deficit to loose weight, some may argue Green Tea reduces appetite so you eat fewer calories but that's anecdotal. You can add me if you like :-)

Not quite a zombie thread but we have now made a group from this convo if you care to join in http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/115800-yoga-buddies

I binge when I am under stress, even when I'm not hungry (be it real hungry or fake hungry). Add me if you like.

^^^^^^ Yoga does wonders for my stress levels and you can do it at home from youtube or similar, try that.

I really like yogatx

eat something 45 mins before you work out, drink plenty of water, lower the incline and the pace, see a dr if it doesn't get any better.

I get this maybe one or 2 days a month usually bang in the middle of my cycle, regardless of if I've been eating crap or doing really well. I try to drink more water and black coffee and fill up on stuff that is lower calorie and reasonable protein so eggs, hummus, etc or add some soup to my lunch and dinner. I find citrus…
