Yep - C25K was my intro to running in 2012. Now I run 3 times a week for fun or if training (2 half marathons down, one scheduled for Oct 2015) 3 short (5ks) and an increasingly long run (up to 18k) at weekends. Do it - get the bug!

You need to lose it slowly if you want to keep it off, but it will come off fast at first :D Add me if you like

You can get professional help for your anxiety through therapy, it's really worth checking out hypnosis, mindfulness and various forms of psychotherapy. You could also try going for a challenge in terms of exercise; maybe aiming for a charity run and following a training plan through something like MiCoach. But seriously,…

Good to know you are not on your own then - add me! B)

Hello! Su here, 51 next month, based in Northamptonshire in the UK. Nearly hit my target last year (1lb off!) then gained some back by relaxing / trying to maintain. Back on track and running my second half marathon at the end of this month. Always happy to add mutually supportive friends.

Perfectly normal! I also regularly lift my shirt and look at my not so big tummy in the bathroom mirror. Simple things can make us happier. Keep going :flowerforyou:

If you have a heart rate monitor, this will give you the most accurate burn. Have fun :flowerforyou:

I've used a couple of different activity trackers and HRM's. Benefits of the HRM is accuracy of your workout burns, benefits of the boy monitor is that it measures all the other stuff too. At the moment I have a Jawbone UP 24, but you have to tell it when you are going to exercise and what that exercise is. I had a…

Could be runners knee - http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/beating-injury/bodyworks-runners-knee/229.html Try some stretches http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/beating-injury/five-quick-stretches-to-keep-healthy/6958-2.html - the Seated Iliotibial Band Stretch is really good. Also consider getting and using a foam roller and rolling…

I've sent you a friend request. I'm 50 and lost most of my weight over 2 years - some has crept back on whilst I was trying to balance maintenance, but I'm back on the case and going to hit and maintain my target. You can do this - we will help :flowerforyou:

Hello! I've not been here before, but I'd like to join in if you'll have me :flowerforyou: My goals for July 1. Ditch the pounds and the inch on my waist that have crept on since I got so close to my goal and tried to lose more slowly / maintain. 2. Aim for body composition - 22% body fat or lower, which means I might not…

Indeed the fish thing is weird "nothing with a face" is my rule :wink:

What has this got to do with weight management and fitness? Pick another forum whilst I report this as inappropriate.

Um you don't know that she is not gaining muscle and you are incorrectly spouting one of the common myths put about as scientific fact. I have gained muscle whilst not eating surplus nor lifting heavy weights. I have had my body composition measured regularly and my muscle percentage is significantly higher and fat…

As some have said above, check the accuracy of your logging by weighing your portions. You may be gaining muscle, and the exercise may be causing you to retain water which muscles need to recover. You could consider trying some sort of anti water retention supplement. In terms of success, you may also be heavier but…

The only way to log accurately is to weigh your portions and do the maths. Sorry, there is no "easy" way, but it's not that difficult either :laugh:

In the UK some of us would say that that is b0ll0cks. What a load of old tosh; I go to the gym to go to the gym. That is all

Hello again! I've been bobbing around this weight for over a year. That said, I am happy with my size (smallish UK 12) and as I exercise a lot, I think much of my residual weight is muscle (smaller now than the last time I was at my actual target weight). I just keep logging, jiggle about with my exercise regime and change…

What on earth are you trying to do to yourself? Stop over-exercising and get some balance. Feeling dizzy and as if you are going to pass out is not healthy.
