Hi, that's the weekend I'm doing my Craggy Island Triathlon (8th Sept I'm doing it) - don't think I'll be fit to cycle after that!!!

There's a 5k every week (Saturday mornings) in my local park - it's called ParkRun, I think they have them in most towns/cities - I'm going to try to give that a go over the next few weeks. The Squash does keep me pretty fit, was in a car accident recently and had to get checked out at hospital and was told that I have th…

Hi, After slipping at the end of 2011/2012 I've got serious weight issues to consider (again). I've also decided to do a triathlon (although not the normal full distances) so I need to develop my fitness substantially. Whilst I seem to be quite fit when playing games such as squash and football....I struggle to run…

but fun though....I'm starting training this week....a million miles away from it currently but will get there!!!

Hi, I've signed up for the Craggy Island Triathlon on the West coast. It's not a full triathlon so distances are shorter. There are some hills i believe. I've posted info about this within this group under a specific topic - might be worth a look! Dan

Hi Mazza - welcome!

Hey, Absolutely amazing work, well done......great inspiration for others like me - I wanted to lose 25-30 lbs and am only circa 4 weeks and 9lbs down that road so seeing someone like you making such a difference really gives me a kick in the *kitten* and makes me want to keep going.....thanks and all the best, Dan x

Hi, I've sent a friends request all the way from sunny Scotland!!!! Wish you all the best, let me know if I can help - we're all on a journey! x D

No mate, outdoor tennis, classes, gym, swimming and the hall for indoor tennis/badminton...Livi has squash courts and maybe one in the calder area...

I've friend requested you.... Welcome - and good luck, it's a cracking app but can get quite addictive! Seems to work though! All the best Dan

Welcome everybody - feel free to invite your Scottish or Scotland based pals! Start posting! Anything goes (as long as it's in good taste)!!!

Yep!

Hi, I'm a newbie looking for new pals too - any hints/tips/encouragement gladly received! Good luck! Let me know if i can help! I love my squash and 5-aside footie so I'll be hitting that hard... you'll probably squirm when I say this but i had to recouperate from knee surgery and wasnt able to play squash at that time -…

New also, you can never have enough pals! I've sent a friend request - any tips/hints/encouragement well received! Good Luck!

Hi Bobbi, I understand how dificult it can be. It's worth it in the end though. In honesty - you only need to force yourself to exercise and eat healthily in the short term. You need to mix both exercise and healthy eating despite your lack of free time. If you can persevere just long enough to feel and see a difference…

Cheers Emily - I've managed it before but somehow it seems harder this time!! fingers crossed - thanks, D

Hi, I've just joined but have a similar situation...Had to get some knee surgery and strongly depend on my sport to keep the weight off. Have put on 22lbs since the start of the year...back fit enough now though so time to address the bulge... Hoe you're injury is also on the mend and that you can get back to your happy…
