Drives me nuts when the word "like" is used incorrectly e.g "he was, like, running" - it doesn't make sense it wrecks my head - either he was running or he wasn't - grrrrr Other pet hates include T for T-shirt Pant - when referring to a pair of trousers Oh and the most recent courtesy of the Olympics - "he has a good…

WOW

I'm a real night owl and I much prefer to go for a walk in the evening or hop on the treadmil when I get home from work or even at night when everyone is in bed. I've tried to exercise first thing in the morning and although I feel great afterwards, just getting out of bed that much earlier let alone jogging is a struggle…

I'm on week 8 and jogging for 28 minutes non stop - I thought it would be impossible but it's not. Don't put yourself off by looking at whats ahead. Just take it minute by minute, run by run and before you know it you'll be there - Best of luck

Have a look at C25K (couch to 5K) - it's a brilliant programme, easy to use by any one regardless of fitness level or weight. You can download it to your ipod/iphone.

Road runner - how many ways can an ACME kit go wrong! A classic

It's very true, your head has to be in the right place or you're wasting your time and just undoing your confidence. It's like giving up smoking or any addiction - you can't do it until YOU want to do it and you're ready. Yes I know being overweight is my own fault, Yes I know it's bad for my health, Yes I know I'm the…

Tipperary, born, bred and reared, hello everyone:bigsmile:

thanks Martina, best of luck, I'm trying to start now so that I don't put up another stone over Christmas - isn't it cruel the way it goes on in a matter of days and it takes months to come off

Hi spritwolf13 - Ireland is beautiful - yes we have a lot of rain, recession and crap politicans but we don't have tornados, earthquakes or tsunamis so I think that pretty much balances it out - not to mention the people, no matter how bad things get the Irish usually find something funny in it. Would be delighted to have…

Hi Lucyg1 - I'm not into hurling so I have no problem being friends with a Wexford/Galway cross! this seemed like such a good idea last night but I have to start sometime.
