Is everyone still going? Run this morning was just amazing. Had boundless energy, ran the fastest I have and felt like I could have run far longer than the hour. Just brilliant. My last two runs were just torture - like trying to run through treacle. This one more than made up for them!

Hehe, will keep a running total and report back! Thanks for your help, again.

Right, think I've found the answer from reading loads of posts on here. I think what you have said is that, if the difference between what I was eating (approx 1200 cals) is more than 500 from what my goal weight total cals should be (1765) then I should increase gradually by 200/week. This is so my body doesn't grab onto…

Loving the pics! Ours do have harnesses and the girls do actually take them walks - honestly! The pigs love it! The bottom piggy looks a lot like one of ours - her name is Ditzy. She's bonkers. Her hair is WILD!

So lovely to see so many running! In work today and the girls have dance lessons tonight so won't have time to get out. But will fit in my callanetics dvd at some point this evening instead. Feeling a bit stiff after yesterday's mammoth effort, so the stretching will be good for me. I don't have a pet dog to run with, but…

Did you say your chest was a bit iffy? If you aren't feeling 100% maybe you should take it a bit easier Christi. Don't want you making yourself really ill!

Back in. Went brilliantly and really enjoyed it! A few tiny niggles in my legs but they disappeared by the second half. Funny how I always find the return journey easier than the outward... Running much further now so took a detour which I discovered went right up the hillside - needless to say I didn't manage to run up!…

Just off out on wk5 r1 on C210K. An hour and 10min run today... a bit strenuous but feeling good so hoping it goes ok. Run on Saturday was a killer - had no energy and think I overdid exercise last week. Have had 2 days of rest so hopefully my run will be better today. Will update later!

Thanks so much - I really appreciate your help. Will check out the new spreadsheet. I like the idea of spreading the calories over the week - so much easier than having to stuff my face one day then practically starve the next which is what it feels like I have been doing! Right, off to change mfp stats to fit in with the…

Hi, Really interesting thread and it really makes sense. Think I have been undereating for a long time which is why I haven't lost anything for around 2 months... I'd be hugely grateful if you could you just check my figures to see if I have got this right? I used the google spreadsheet (so easy to use, it's brilliant!).…

Great article. Have been stuck for 4 wks now (infact have put on 3lbs!!) so this advice is very welcome.

Am so impressed at you training for a marathon! Will this be your first one?

Is the same as the 5K app, but designed to train you to run a 10k race. Is a 13 week programme and you run/walk for an hour, three times a week. Is great! Am gearing myself up to enter the Great Glasgow Run in September...

I have an Enell sports bra. Was quite pricey but absolutely worth every penny! I struggled for years to find a sports bra that would contain my ginormous boobs and stop me getting black eyes whilst I ran and the enell bra holds me like a concrete corset! Apparently Oprah recommends them...

Feel free to add me too (in fact I am begging you to!). Am new here but have been dieting for a whole year. Still have about 17lbs left to go and if I thought my weight loss was slow before, now it is practically non-existent! Training to run a 10k so hoping that will show a result on the scales at some point... Would…

Haha, yeah sorry to confuse you. My attempt at quoting was a massive fail! Was up at 7am for Wk4 R1 on c210k. Has increased to 2min runs, 3min walks for 55mins. Went really well except I over-ran and had to do an additional mad 5 minute full-out run to get home in time for getting out to work! Funny though because I felt…

[/quote] I'm just doing C25K to get me started. I'm running the Disney full marathon in January. :O [/quote] Oh wow, well done! I'm considering entering for a 10k in the summer, but will wait to see if the programme kills me first....

My exercise routine is: Monday - running (doing c210k programme) Tuesday - callanetics Wednesday - running Thursday - callanetics Friday - zumba Sunday - running Saturday is my recovery day! The callanetics are toning, not cardio, so feel my body can cope with the six days exercise.

Can I join in? Doing couch to 10k but could do with the encouragement. Can't find anyone else doing the 10k programme on here. Am moving into wk4 which is when things really get going... (eek!)

Hello. This is a great idea! Would love a dieting twin - needing loads of butt kicking to get this last stubborn stone off... Can provide ample butt kicking in return! Age 42 Height 5.2 Sw - 172.5 Cw - 141 Gw - 124 (or thereabouts...)

I second the Running Trax cds - they are brilliant! Lots of good ideas here for new tracks though.
