  • Mine does that too (it is a Garmin as well) - it will spike to about 220 or even more for about the first km, even if I know I'm just running a slow warm up and know there is no way my HR is that high, I'm figuring it is a fault with the monitor, not my HR - once it gets past about the first 10min it seems to settle and…

  • I'm running the half - and supporting my friend who is running the full :) Good luck bonjour - Rotorua was my first marathon two years ago - it is a great course!

  • www.dailymile.com :) My other favourite site - lots of likeminded people, tracks your miles etc each day/week/month, I also find it good for tracking things like how long I've been using my shoes. I'm lisajnz (beckfamily@paradise.net.nz) there as well if you want to join and add a friend :)

  • Oh she hasn't stopped cycling - if you wanted a case study on over-training, bingeing rather than eating healthy evened out calories over time, panic over not exercising because of being scared of weight gain ... oh, I could go on, she frustrates me SO much!! (AND she is about 50kg - if not under that now, lately she's…

  • Hi I'm Lisa - I'm in NZ I'm not sure I'm overtraining or not (possibly yes) - but I do know I'm having trouble losing the last bit of weight I want to lose even though I'm exercising a lot, so thought this group might be helpful - the people I already know on it certainly seem to have familiar stories to me. I lost 30kg…

  • Thought these would make for a good discussion :) Some of them I totally agree with - some of them I'm surprised at! When I read out puddings/desserts to my 10yo - she very quickly replied with - but what about fruit crumble?! Yeah - what about a good fruit crumble, I don't see anything wrong with that as a treat every now…

  • I'm another one who has wondered about this - I'm keeping an eye on it for now, if things stop working, that is the next thing on my list to consciously try and improve!

  • I lost most of my weight via WW and think its a great programme - I got frustrated with it when I started doing a lot more exercise, it just didn't seem to cater, or have the answers for someone who was burning a lot of calories. I'm pretty new to MFP, but what I'm liking is that I can change and alter it to what is going…

  • Somewhere like Womens Refuge is good, or similar. I have a friend who works for a halfway kind of place, I gave a whole lot of my old bigger clothes to her and she said the clients were really appreciative, there were some nice enough for job interviews/starting jobs, and even the casual ones were good as they don't have a…

  • What Rubybelle said :) Her points are pretty much what I would have said - so I don't need to type them all again!! I started on the C25K program 3 years ago - purely because I worked out I could burn the same number of calories running 30min as I could walking for over an hour - so for time efficiency figured it was a…

  • Love, love my spin classes - I try and get to a couple a week, I believe they are about the best calorie burning workout you can do, and they are fun!

  • Definitely a place for them, but they are over-used (in my opinion) - if you're doing more than an hour hard cardio, you need to start thinking about replacing nutrients and carbs, then they are good, but otherwise they are empty calories. I just put a large bottle on my planner for Saturday because I'm biking a huge…

I've gone from 98kg to waivering between 68 and 71kg (currently 71kg :() over three years, I started with c25k and WW, I've since run lots of other 10ks, half marathons and three marathons.
