Two grissini breadsticks. Only 44 calories, so plenty of room for some hummus

Another one going with the couch to 5k. 3 weeks ago I couldn't even run to the letterbox and back. I'm now running for 3 minutes at a time and doing 2.12ks in 30 minutes. Doesn't sound like much now, but it's better than nothing!

Every other day. I only started running 3weeks ago and I'm doing c25k. Once I have completed this ill crank it up a bit. Didn't want to completely shock my body.

I suffer from fatigue, one thing I have found helps is spirulina

If I know I'm going to have a meal out I just make sure my calories balance, and try and eat the best I can either side of my " bad" meal

I'm type 1. Before I started on here I was taking 55 long acting and nearly 55 units a day of fast acting, plus had gone on Metformin. I log everything before I eat it and look at the carbs value and only take the insulin to cover that. I'm now off Metformin, on 45 long acting units and about 25 short acting. It takes…

It's the name of my website

I went to a shoe shop and was fitted with some new balance 880's. They are working well for me, but they are my first pair of running shoes, so I have nothing to compare them with

Did W3d2 then an hour later I tried to see how far I could go just running, made it 2k without stopping! W3d3 onwards looks terrifying :noway:

Grisini breadsticks

I guess all you can do is use it as motivation. Looking at your profile I only live over the haywards from you. Lifestyle gym in the hutt does gold coin entry zumba classes on Wednesdays at 7.30pm. I am looking for a highly uncoordinated buddy to go with if you want someone to work out with?!

Yes! My goal is to complete c25k and then build up to 7k ready for a fun run in feb

I weigh every day, but I have to stay around the same weight three days in a row before I record it

Faux. I don't eat eggs, they are filed under foods that creep me out

I usually just chuck the tv on the music channel and go with whatever pops up. Except the other day as soon as I started it changed to a Coldplay top ten, as if my workout wasn' torture enough.....

My fourth tattoo. I have it drawn up and pinned to my wall at work

For me it would be Shihad, weta and head like a hole. I know anytime I see them live I am going to have an awesome night. I've loved them since I was in high school, and was gutted when the last 2 broke up because I had never seen them live. Thankfully they reunited a few years ago, and I've been able to see every show…

I chuck a tablespoon or two into any baking I'm doing

That I'm freezing cold all the time. I guess I need to wear more as my personal insulation depletes :)

I think you call them an elliptical? I just put it on light resistance then go at a walking pace for the walk bits, then go as hard as I can for the run.

I agree with getting your shoes fitted. I bought a good pair or shoes, and even walking in them I'd get pain, but I was fine walking around in my flimsy chucks jandals etc. Went to a sports shoe shop were the do proper fittings, no problem since

I'm doing my c25k on a cross trainer. Similar movement to running, but you don't get the impact of hitting the ground

I use the 5k runner app

I didn't really enjoy wii fit, but I bought ea sports active and did the 30 day challenge, I found that really good.

Mines a part of me. I haven't posted a photo of myself online in years, but in the job I do it's better if I'm undercover

I havemy next tattoo drawn up and pinned to my wall at work, I'm going to get it when I hit my goal weight. Aside from that I'm replacing my wardrobe as I need smaller and smaller clothes

Got the ju by weta Came on while I was using my cross trainer, made me go so fast my legs nearly dropped off.

Hi I'm type 1. I have found since being on here I have lost the Metformin and halved the amount of insulin I was injecting. It is so hard, my sister went and did some crazy diet that would have probably killed me, and lost 25kg. In the same amount of time I've have lost just over 8kg. I'm not perfect but I'm starting to…

I'm diabetic also, I've been using the Atkins range as it is low sugar
