Banks! So going to try that interval thingy in th park this weekend! Sounds painful...

Lol thank you all! I'm thinking water weight too as have just finished my cycle, had more sodium than usual and drank alcohol which I don't often do... Fingers crossed it'll be gone in a few days! I'm still panicking a little as I have a slight phobia of weight gain - I sometimes even have panic attacks!

I have been doing weight training yes, but think it'll take longer than that to gain muscle weight... Metabolism wise, I never go below 1200 calories and because of working out am usually somewhere nearer the 1700 mark, so I don't think its that... it just seems such a lot of weight in a few days!

I actually LIKE to run in the rain. I know, weird...:ohwell:

Hi! I'm new to MFP and new to the running club! I completed my 1st 10k in May, and have just signed up to run a marathon in April next year :noway: ... Anyway, that does mean I should be posting on here quite regularly!

looool you guys make me smile :happy: I'm just a bit unnerved by it... at least it means I can eat more (healthy food of course, just more of it...) If I'm having to train. Leash, well done on that, seriously! Can you give me any pointers? Right now I run about 18-20 miles per week, so I should aim for 10-22 next week?…

I bet you notice it waaaaaay more than anyone else! Are you retaining water? Try drinking lots and cutting back on salt if you aren't already. If it is genuinely a layer of fat (and judging by your profile picture you are far from being fat!) the the best I find is cardio, particularly running, combined with abdominal…

Go Girl! It's a good programme, you CAN do it, and the feeling you'll get crossing the finish line is the best you'll ever get from exercise. Trust me - one 10k, and I'm hooked!

I suppose the issue is that because I'm small boned I feel I should weigh less...? Or maybe I just have a screwed up body image.

Realistic goals tend to be little and often, and not necessarily all weight based - they can be every 3kg lost, or you can set yourself a goal of drinking no soda for a month, of working out for an hour 3x weekly for a month, of being able to run 3 mile straight in a month, of eating 5 portions of fruit and veg a day for a…

thanks all... and i guess 22 cals is nothing anyway!

Oooh, I did the couch to 10k and completed the Bupa London 10k a couple of weeks ago in like 50 minutes... And I couldn't run a mile straight when I first started it! Not only do you lose weight and tone up, but it does INCREDIBLE things for your fitness - I never thought I could be this fit, EVER! Doooooooo iiiiiiiit!!!!…

Good luck! I'm also from the UK and so far have found that most of the foods I look up are in the directory so it has probably improved on that front since you were last here...

Thank you all of you! I can tell having you all there is going to be a massive inspiration! :heart:

Hi, yep, I'm currently 133 and want to get down to 120 - eating out is my downfall though, I do it far too often! Well done with the weight loss so far - how have you done it up until now, anything in particular?

Hey, I'm new too - good luck! :smile:
