We're here to help you :)

And me :{)

Less impact activity swimming, cycling?

You can add me, my tache has now gone :)

Who are you doing it for? Her or you?

Me too. Don't let the tache put you off, it's an old pic :)

I'm a late bloomer to running and don't really enjoy it. I mainly jog in the evening but occasionally go in the morning. I run regularly but try to do it every other day. I also do lots of walking and swimming to mix it up a bit - apparently if you keep your body guessing you get better results. I've notice my knees click…

I'm new to running (and don't really enjoy it but it's the only cardio I can do right now) so I listen to audiobooks to distract me and before I know it I've finished the book!

I suffered from shin splints when really I got into kung fu a while back and ended up seeing a sports physio who told me I was wearing the wrong trainers (they were flat at the time). They suggested the ones that support the arch of the foot as my ankles pronate inwards. Since then I have not spent more than £50 on a pair…

They should be firm and only have a little give to absorb bumbs.

Hi, I run a similar amount and like you do some weight based exercises. I also do a lot of walking 80 mins everyday (Monday to Friday) and weekly swimming. I will soon be getting a bike to provide for even more cardio variety. Out of the three I prefer cycling and swimming to running as there is less impact on your knees.

And me if you like.

I think Maximuscle do female only protein shakes. I'm a male by the way :) I've tried other male protein shakes but they all gave me cramps except for Maximuscle's.

To quote a famous sports brand, 'Just Do it!'

This was the look I was going for when I had the tache: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0985694/

London, England UK!

I'm in the uk too! How about a protein and salad wrap as an alternative? Occasionally I go for a chicken kebab with salad (shish not doner) as this is similar to BBQing meat and low in fat. Another suggestion is the chicken pieces (already cooked) you can get in most supermarkets.

A couple of fruit items - apples, pears, handful of blueberries etc

@Aineko - you remind me of Trinity from The MAtrix - very cool!

I have a very small 1 bed flat/apartment. I have a pair of dumbbells and resistance bands. I do my exercises in my lounge 3 - 4 times a week.

You only get one shot at life so make it count and it is definitely mind over matter. Minimise/remove contact with negative people (they do not add value to your life and bring you down). What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Stay positive - we are here to help you :)

Count me in Tommy! Now that I'm single again I have no excuse to let myself go. Happy to help you along and vice versa.

This is me although the handlebar tach has now gone. This was for the Movember charity last year! :{)

Keep it Up by Snap which featured in Rocky V. It samples Eye of the Tiger very cleverly.
