12 kg in 90 days (90kg to 78 kg)! My clothes were getting too tight. Always tired. Ate poorly and barely ran over 25 minutes (3-4km) without puffing and feeling exhausted. Sunday will be "half marathon time"!!!!!!

Hi!!!! I have both (NIKE + wristband and Garmin Forerunner 110) but prefer Garmin by far because it is GPS enabled.

Hi! I run at least 4 to 5 times a week. Currently I manage to run 5,5 miles (9km) to 6,2 miles (10k). I´m also building up for my very first half marathon on the 30th September. In October I´ll be ruuning a 10k event as well. Ideally, you should have 1 to 2 resting days.

Nice to meet you. I hope you can get as much support and good advice as possible. I´m only been a member for a couple of months and more active as of ac couple of days. However I must admit MFP is great. See ya here and all the best! Chuck!
