I think we must be. I now quite like hills, but mainly cos of the "wheeeeeeee!" feeling and the lightheaded happy rush I get when i come down them.

Um.... skintone, head size.... photoshop?

Thanks for your replies! It's getting the distances right, and my own tortuous maths processes provide results that are close to what it's saying about my pace, but I was just wondering why the cals leapt up so much. I'll just keep taking it as what it says when I stop. Still way more than MFP's v rough and not quite…

Hurray for collar bones! I've got 2 of them now, which I've never noticed before. They're both been broken in different places over the years, so they look a bit wonky, but I'm so happy to see them!

How long are you likely to have to stop for? You should find it easier to start up again than it was to start from scratch, and in my experience, I made much faster progress after a break. I'm on 10k 2 or 3 times a week at the moment, and will stop running for 2 months from the end of November. I'm thinking (again, based…

I took up running as a tool to help deal with depression - the weight loss is a pleasant side effect, which in itself does make me feel more confident. When I've had a good hard run in the morning, I know I've done something that most people haven't, and I know it's definitely the most physically difficult thing I'll do…

Take it easy - I'm in the same state. I feel like I've been living in a world of snot and coughing for the last week. Sore throat, annoying cough, living on decongestants and paracetamol. I'm so restless for a run, but I'm pretty sure it's not the best idea just yet. As soon as I can do as much as sit for 3 mins without…

First of all, well done. I hope you're enjoying running, because if you're anything like me, it'll become a great part of your life and your best mate in keeping weight off and improving your general wellbeing. I am a runner who's fallen in love and broken up with running several times over the last 20 years. I'm currently…

WELL DONE! What a breakthrough! I hope you continue to feel healthier and happier!

I gave up meat 10 years ago, and the first thing I noticed was that my body mass seemed to change. I carried weight differently, but the weight was still there. It was almost as though my body density had changed with my diet. When I'm running, the weight comes off easily, but when I'm not exercising it really piles on,…

Ey up. I'm in Leeds.

My big fat veggy chilli is also know as Chilli Non Carne.
-
Definitely beans. But then my chilli would just be onions, garlic, mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn and spicy tomato sauce without them. Mine's a big fat veggy chilli and it ROCKS!

All very good advice.. You heroically ignored the chocolate for most of the day, and your reward was having some later on. Be nice yo to yourself. Tomorrow's another day!

Had a fabulous NSV today , despite having a rest day from exercise and eating anything like sensibly. I was playing hide and seek with my 2 nephews (3 and 6yrs old), their Dad (38) and their Grandpa (65), and I (35 )decided it was time i taught them to play sardines (where one person hides, and everyone else has to find…

I've often found that when I feel so knackered that I really can't do anything, and I take the day, or days off until I'm ready to go again, the next time I do get out for a run, it's easier or just somehow better. I've told you this so many times, but don't push yourself too hard. You're doing really well, you know what…

Brilliant! You're a star!
-
Yep - when I'm doing 10k runs I could eat crisps 'til they come out of my ears.

Mimaduck83 - You put up such a fight against it before, no-one's more surprised than me to see you going for this in such a big way. I am very proud of the work you've done, and it really is paying off. There's less of you each time I see you! Or rather, less of the stuff that hid the real you, and held you back. More of…

Hiya - I could use a few friends too - been on here for a couple of weeks to see if I like it, and I love it, but I've been a bit shy!

Well after my day job that pays the rent, I'm also a photographer, and I like taking photos even when I'm not getting paid for it. I love walking, and when I discovered how many calories I was using I started loving it more. Other things I love: cooking vegetarian food; gardening - I'm currently growing tomatoes, sweet…

Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. We don't really have a tagline, but every Yorkshireman (and woman) knows we live in God's Own Country, or near enough.

Me too! Hello!
