i took a fitness appraisal and i apparently have very slightly above average cardiovascular fitness for women my age! that was exciting

Thanks so much for the advice :)

thank you so much! i'll try a couple of these and see what i like :)

I normally have a glass of milk

i cook them into my porridge, i can barely notice they're there taste wise but i've been fuller longer after breakfast since using them

I've heard you should run not too fast that you wouldn't be able to hold a conversation (though I am guilty of going over this). Just run however fast feels comfortable for you :)

geodistance.com is good

bump for ideas

I also swum for the first time in about 8 months yesterday, and it was fantastic! I'm thinking of getting a membership to my pool (which has an attached gym) :)

before you do this ask your doctor's opinion because they obviously know more about your situation than i do, but maybe you could do other exercises that swimming in water? like a light aquaerobics class or something that isn't high impact and so doesn't affect your neck

no, it's a different app (but a bit cheaper and the same online connection capacity!). i'm hoping when i 'graduate' it'll be smart enough to recognise that i've done the training too :)

I've got Zombies Run, which is a lot of fun. Basically it does the normal track how far you run, how fast you run etc. but adds a story line to it where you are a runner for a camp trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. I'm currently 3 weeks in to their 8 week training program (a version of C25K) and I can't WAIT to…

Hi! I'm Emily, I'm coming back to MFP after about an 8 month break where I was travelling the whole time. I'm 164cm (5'4) and 88kg (194lbs, probably but I don't entirely trust my scales!). I've decided this time to focus on increasing my overall fitness and health, and lose weight as a byproduct of that but not as the main…

hi, i'm 194, just sent you a request!!

SW: 190 CW: Not actually entirely sure, I haven't weighed in in a while (176?) GW: 171? Weigh in Dates: 1/10 8/10 15/10 22/10 31/10 Total Weight Lost: The weirdest thing for me has been the people who have noticed I lost weight and have commented on it. I couldn't really see a difference :)

Hi! Aussie all the way :)

Hello :)

Hey! I did something similar (but in half!), I lost 25 pounds then pretty quickly put 11 back on. That's awesome about the half marathon, I did C25K but then I stopped for various reasons. I really should start again. :)

Hey, I'm in a similar situation. I just came back after disappearing for around 2 months for no reason other than laziness!

I've lost a bit more than it says in the ticker and I've gone from an Australian 16C (38C) to a 12DD (34DD). I have no idea what is going on there, but I'm not really complaining.

I'd really like to join, I have been so unmotivated recently and need something to start me going again. Should I just PM you my start weight?

Hi everyone! I just joined this group and got sorted into Slytherin. My name is Emily, I live in Australia and I am really looking forward to getting to know you and joining in the challenges! I think I'll leave the OWLs and NEWTs until next week when I am more in the swing of things. Hopefully I will be helpful!

Breakfast: Porridge with banana and cinnamon Lunch: Tin of tuna or sandwich of some sort Dinner: Rice or pasta with chicken and vegetables Snacks: Fruit, nuts, yoghurt, milk

milo. it's a chocolate drink powder that I could probably eat a whole tin of

i'm in

I'm doing week four now and I have to say I am a little nervous about week 5

nuts are good

I just depends on what works for you as to whether or not to eat your exercise calories. Personally I don't, but there are people who do.

that's incredible
