Weigh in: Username: SarahGilfach Weigh in week: 2 Weigh in day: Tuesday Previous Weight: 142 Week 1 weight: 139.8 Current weight: 140.4 Yes, it's a gain, but it's a little one, and it's been a rough week so I'm not too disappointed. Far bigger is my disappointment that I can't go for my run today due to a painful knee and…

Thursday fitinspiration :

My favourite healthy snack is sliced peaches with fat free greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of chia seeds. However I doubt I will have it today, given it's now 8pm and I haven't even eaten dinner yet, so I can't take a pic, and will have to substitute the closest thing I can find on google! :) My serving size is WAY smaller…

Tuesday check in: Calories : under (I think, had lunch out so had to guestimate those calories) Water : over Exercise : walk/hike 2.5 miles around a local forest with a friend who didn't want to go too far Goal/improvement for Weds : my mum is having her cataracts done and I'm the driver / support, so it'll be an…

Thanks - it's artificially slightly large, in that the 142 was somewhat water weight due to two weeks of eating badly, but I'm nevertheless very glad to be back under 140. You did great too I saw! Well done. :)

Water drinking is absolutely the hardest part for me, for some reason. It's not the water itself, I like water.. I dunno. It's just something I really have to force. :(

Day 3: Staying hydrated Got my fridge door jug ready for today (yes I know it's squash and not water, but it's weak if that helps!) :)

Oh @angielove88, I could never work in a bakery. I love baked stuff! Well done for not eating everything you see :) Monday check in: Calories : under Water : over Exercise : beginners strength routine and half hour run Goal/improvement for tomorrow : I was rubbish with procrastination today. I did achieve one important…

I shouldn't have looked at this thread so close to dinner time, I'm getting hungry looking at that :) I LOVE pasta.

Day 2: Lunch Quinoa with peppers, red onions, cherry toms, low fat cheese, fat free greek yoghurt, cayenne pepper, salsa. My go to lunch when I'm behaving myself. :) Will probably have some fruit afterwards.

Sunday check-in : Calories: under Water: over Exercise: walking, about eight very pretty miles Goal for Monday: I have my normal Monday morning run planned. My goal isn't really related to health and fitness: No procrastinating, just getting on with my day without wasting time.

Okie dokie - Day 1: Goal for the month: ***Lose 5 pounds*** This is the one I might have to keep coming back to, to keep me focused this month! I start teaching again this month so all this luxurious time I've had to run, walk, workout and generally think about my weight loss / fitness goals will be severely cut - eyes on…

Hi, I'm new to the team too. :) The Moderators workout looks really good but I must admit I won't be doing it yet, I have my own workout regime I'm already following (I have an app on my phone that handles my home workouts, and I'm following a running programme too). Let us know how you get on with it though @Jamidi ! I'm…

Thank you! Think this is exactly what I need. Exercise is not a problem, doing plenty of that, but controlling what I eat has been, of late. I think this accountability is just the ticket. Looking forward to it. :)

There's ways you can add exercise in without it being an actual exercise session. Take the stairs at work. Go for a walk at lunchtime, as @MikePfirrman suggested. Park as far away from the shops / workplace as possible to make you walk a bit further. Take a break every hour to walk somewhere; when you go to the loo, if…

So friendly, and it really didn't feel like there were 140 ish runners there. Really chilled out. Will definitely be going back. :)

I did my first Parkrun today, after starting C25K in early April. Really pleased - I had two goals, 1) no walking and 2) under 35 minutes. Well, I didn't walk, and I came back in 33:42, and I really didn't think I was going to manage under 35 minutes, the way I'd been feeling during training. Loving this! Hope you're all…

Hi from beautiful Wales :)

Well done everyone on your accomplishments in the last couple of weeks since I've been here. I decided to take a bit of a break in the regular schedule to adjust to running outside instead of on the treadmill - and it really was an adjustment. However, I'm back on it now, and finished W9R1 at the local park yesterday…

Ooh well done @VanVanDiane ! All new from now on! @kilobykilo , fab - you really do start to enjoy the solid runs more than the intervals, I promise. :smile: @jcraig10 - Sounds great, but be careful you don't do too much too soon. One of the forums I'm on for C25K gets very stern about people doing that. :wink: You're…

W7R2 done this morning. Not sure why, maybe my legs are still feeling the effects of hiking up Hay Bluff on Sunday, but this was a toughie today. Had to dig deep to finish the thing today. I did manage to increase my speed for the last minute though, which I couldn't last time, so that's good. Still, it's done, and it's…

I'm a new runner too! In week 7 of C25K, this feels like an activity I'm going to want to stick with. Loving the running, after years and years believing that I would never ever be able to run.

W7D1 done. Not too bad, didn't drink quite enough yesterday which showed in how I felt a little bit, but overall fine. Well done @kilobykilo, @jcraig10 and @VanVanDiane! Keep it going!

Fab! Well done! Onwards and upwards. :)

Well, W6R3 was absolutely amazing this morning. I seriously never expected it to feel so great. I felt euphoric for hours afterwards, and still do a little bit. At no point did I feel like I needed to dig particularly deep... so much easier not having to stop for the intervals. The music helped. I had my running playlist…

I used to feel like that too, but it's reached a point where restarting the run after an interval feels harder than just keeping going. Week 6, run 1 (3 intervals) I found harder than week 5, run 3 (20 minutes straight). Once you find a rhythm, it's easier to let your mind think about other things and less about 'how many…

Just thought I'd pop in here to say hello, as I'm new to the group. I'm currently on week 6, ready to do run 3 tomorrow - 25 minutes non stop! I'm excited to leave the intervals behind. :)

Hi, I'm new as well. I'm 43, and have decided that this is the year to finally sort out my fitness. I have similar issues to @cayenne_007 regarding the gym, but I've started Couch to 5K (week 6 at the moment), and I have a strength training app on my phone that takes me through bodyweight strength training exercises every…
