Hi - I'm Sara. I have done 30DS a couple of times before. I take medication that causes weight gain so I have a lot of weight to lose and as a working Mum not much time to workout. I like 30DS for getting me going in the morning. I haven't worked out for months so I'm going to start slowly and will probably need to modify…

100km = 62.1 miles 100 miles = 160.9km I'm walking today (not counting walking) and if I get myself sorted out today then running tomorrow! C25K wk 7 max distance in the time has been 2.67miles (4.3km) so in order to do 10 miles in a week, running 3 times a week I will need to be running more than 3 miles in each run.…

I have promised myself some designer jeans (and to throw out all larger sizes)!

Given your height and weight and that you are gradually increasing your calories it looks like you used to weigh less but are trying slowly to gain a little. Good on you! While the majority of people her are about weight loss, gaining weight can be as much of a struggle so keep going until you get yourself to the best…

Just back from holiday. Only counting running not walking so still have a way to go but still looks achievable

Only up to 9th and already nearly half way!

Tracking in Endomondo: 1st Aug - 2.23 miles 3rd Aug - 2.43 miles

Jelly arms, jelly legs and a euphoric feeling you just can't get from chocolate. That moment at the end of your run when you suddenly find you have the ability to sprint even though you are exhausted and you feel like you are running on air. Plus the urge to eat the right stuff.... anyone else find that?

First time I have ever tried a running challenge. Started and stopped C25k several times in the last few years but this morning I successfully completed C25k wk5.3 Given how slow I run and my little legs I normally manage 2 miles in each run so allowing for holidays etc I am going to aim for a totally achievable 25 miles.…

I got my FitBit One for Christmas and I love it. I often don't get enough sleep and I am terrible at exercising so this really keeps me honest. I will often push myself because of it (for example in the first month I would run up and down stairs as it counts floors! You can set your own targets on the online dashboard and…

I love my coca cola - always have. Lived on it in my 20's. Now it's strictly Coke Zero or Diet Coke but I prefer the taste of Coke Zero as it's not so sweet. I realised in my early 30's that I am very caffeine sensitive and it disrupts my sleep so I only allow myself one can of Coke Zero before or with lunch and the…

Guessing how much you burn exercising is as bad as guessing how much you are eating if you are eating back. I would suggest getting a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). This will give you what YOU have burned not some generic average. Vary your foods and vary your exercise routine - more fun and might just kick start your loss…

ok - here we go 2nd Sept with starting measurements... Weight - 136.2lbs Fat Ratio - 29.8% (according to my Weight Watchers scales) Bust - 34.75" Waist - 30.75" Hips - 40.25" Thigh - 23.25" Knee - 16.5" Arm - 11.75" I am not expecting to lose a lot of weight but I want my waist under 30" and my hips under 40" and at least…

I remember being around 110lbs at 18 too! A combination of bad lifestyle, ill health and the side effects of the medication took me to 131lbs the day I got married in 2006. Then I gained more when I had my son. Then another bout of ill health and medication added more weight until I hit my recent high of 155. Now at 135lbs…

More protein helped me. I worked out grams of protein needed for a maintenance goal, then reset my goals to the appropriate weight loss level. I then adjusted that goal by increasing the protein til I was eating the same as I would be on maintenance reducing the % carbs. Don't reduce the fat % though (I found that caused…

I barely made it through L1D1 first time round and only survived by only doing half a set of almost everything (couldn't even do 1 push up!) The jumping up and down was a killer - really struggled with that so cheated and did my own 'low impact' version just to try and keep going. By day 10 it was a different story - could…

Hi - hope I'm not too late to join. Will do a full set of measurements tomorrow morning before I do day 1 (on 2nd Sept). Will try and do 10+10+10 without a break but I have guests next weekend so may not be able to get it done every day. I have done this twice before and while I didn't really lose much weight I did lose…

Take it as a combination of a compliment and a touch of jealousy! You obvious look like you have lost and if you tell them, you will probably find they will follow up their initial question with a 'wow thats awesome!' or similar. Be proud of your achievement! (and if they react negatively then it was probably more jealousy…

Going to follow this thread! 5'1" and just about to break through the 150 mark - my goal given my petite frame is 112.5 (why 112.5, because for my height that's a BMI of 22) although I would be exstatic to be under 120 for the first time since I was a teenager! Although MFP recommends 1200 a day for me I just get hungry so…

Cardio bunny? Try Kettlenetics - dance cardio workout with a kettlebell - feels like cardio (because it is!) but really works like a full strength workout.

I found the same with 30DS - very little weight loss if any but amazing reshaping of the whole body. Something else that does the same and my favourite at the moment - Kettlenetics. So far lost less than 5lbs in 6 weeks but over 8 inches gone all over!!

Awesome result - but the best thing is how you describe the decision to start and what kept you going. I set mini goals and rewards (works for me) and my reward for reaching my next goal is to get fitted for a proper pair of running shoes!! So many people have said what a difference it makes. I found running by accident…

Had a quick look back through your food diary and you are just not eating enough! When you do get close to your target calories for the day there is way too much sugar. On the days that you exercise (one you gained 550 calories from exercise) you only ate 1000 so thats only 450 to run your body and you need around 1200…

Been doing Kettlenetics. This has really motivated me to continue. Hoping to whittle a few inches off my waist :happy:

I to am a numbers person, and the revalation to me (who honest thought I had the whole eat right and exercise thing worked out but still wasn't losing) was that I wasn't getting my own numbers right... one treat = half hour walk? no, it turns out that one treat (1200 calories) does not equal a half hour walk (less than 200…

Sad reflection on the current state of the world and the obesity epidemic if they think 'normal' (according to your BMI) is thin... but most likely a combination of jealously and denial.

So far.... Sat 1 mile, Sun 2.5 miles, today pedometer says (I found it in the pocket of my running jacket!) 0.6 of a mile (thats what a desk job does for me - bad day really) Tomorrow (my poorly son is with his grandparents so...) long walk before breakfast, walk to an appt at 10am, brisk walk at lunchtime and hopefully…

Managed 1 mile today - not much but with a poorly toddler (bad case of chicken pox) more that I expected

Recovering from a sprained and bruised ankle and can't manage much but I really really need to MOVE MY *kitten* !!! It's the end of 11 May now so that gives me 20 days this month so I am going to see if I can manage 30 miles walking. I will have to do most of it at the weekends but I may try doing a short walk in my lunch…

I would love to see the answers for this! I try and avoid the 'free' chips, guacomole, sour cream and cheese. Fajitas are meat and veg that you can roll in the tortilla yourself - so you could just have one tortilla then just eat the meat and veggies - I've done that before. I can usually do OK as long as I stay off the…
