I have the Wii family trainer that is a big roll out mat that they jump on - looks a bit like a dance mat. my girls (3+5) love it, it has running, jumping, rafting to do, it helps them improve co-ordination too and it has single player or head to head challenges. They go it for 30 mins or so everyday especially if we've…

I've just joined you!!

Is it too late for me to join up - I started doing the BFBM on the 1st, today i've just done the 6 week 6 pack (both presents to myself at christmas) I'm going to do them in rotation to stop getting bored of the same thing (although 6w6p is very hard and very sweaty - I loved the BFBM as its all kicking and takes me back…

congrats on your achievement, maybe you should order some 7's!! - I have a pair of surfing shorts that I bought in Hawaii on honeymoon 8 years ago and they are size 9's, they fit very snuggly but they still fit! I wish that we had mid sizes in the UK as they seem to fit me better than even sizes.

Well done everyone for not pigging out between xmas and new year In the past i've seen it as a free week but not anymore, on boxing day i went for a 5 mile run, 27th the same, 28th and 29th I did 2 sessions of 30DS, today just 1 30DS and a run later after taking my girls for a long walk. Really excited for next week, i…

I agree with kelsully - I always get my trainers from a running shop and get fitted everytime as different weight means that you can be running differently. Good socks are really important too - try double layer running socks designed for blister prevention. Also try the blister plasters with silver in them as they really…

that's really impressive - your stomach will be concave after 90 days!!

Is it too late to join this group - I need some inspiration. 12/27/10 Starting weight: 159 12/27/10 Current weight: 156 Goal weight: 135 Other Info- My highest weight was approx 200 after the birth of my 1st child, I weighed less 3 months after my 2nd child, than I do now nearly 4 years later. Age: 36 Occupation: Fund…

Hope that you've managed to eat clean today - I tried but for the 3rd day in a row i've eaten out! snacks are my downfall but I held back today and ate tons of salad and very little of the bad stuff (apart from a very nice trifle) but I managed to avoid alcohol during the day - which is a first - I usually need to siff…

what a brilliant idea, i think i'm going to have to get a friend to come with me in the new year. I don't often do 5k races as they're over too quick but for a freebie to track performance it sounds great. i've never been brave enough to join a running club so this will be great to meet others who are mad enough to go…

are you eating enough net calories? you should eat at least 1200 net calories a day - according to other threads on here - otherwise your body goes into starvation mode! I was finding it hard to lose weight and was told that I wasn't eating enough - I started eating more and then xmas came around so my results have been a…

I'm in, I gained 5 lb this week!! I have been for a 5 mile run this morning and feel much better. Just another 20lbs to go. Hopefully by march I'll have lost it all!!

When I did 30DS I lost 1lb in a month! but I did lose 5 inches! I wish I had lost 1/2 lb a day, if you find out how let me know!!

It depends on the type of trail run you're doing - find out the terrain that you'll be running and try train on something similar at least once per week. Try get a map of the route - I've done trail runs before when you have to cross water (running in wet clothes is hard if they aren't quick drying) You're already running…

I tried the diet years ago - I had to go and donate blood first to find out my blood group type first though - I'm A+ so according to the book eat more carbs than protein. This to me made sense as I love pasta, rice, bread potatoes etc - and eat very little protein. I can't remember and I'm not scientific but eating less…

You look great - I hope that you can get the skirt resized again if you lose more weight!

I'm doing 30ds every morning - 3 times per week I run home (3.5 miles) and the weekend I'm planning on doing a 6 mile run ( I have a 10k hill race at the end of January so I need to practise lots of running up hills - all shapes and sizes) although it depends if it snows again!!

thanks for posting this - I did the same thing a week or so back and discovered that I too was not eating enough calories. I am due to weigh this friday but already feel that i've gained weight so might put back the weigh in for a week to give my body time to adjust. I hope that you start to lose weight again soon. Keep…

any spare tyre is annoying - but i'm told they disappear in time! I've had mine for years but its finally shrinking now thanks to 30 day shred, after the first 30 days I lost 3 inches off my waist.:smile: I also run 4-5 times per week so do enough cardio. (I'd like to lose another 2-3" off my waist and hips - so i'm…

I had a similar problem not long back and I was under eating due to exercising (my net cals were between 800 and 1100 every day for a month) I had no weight loss and felt drained/tired everyday. Basically I was told that my body was in starvation mode due to not enough net calories. Now i'm eating at least 1200 net cals…

I don't what happens with Asthma but I do know that my lungs used to feel like they were burning when I first started running - they still do if i've had more than a few days off. (check the asthma problem out with your doctor - my doctor is a fellow runner so is always full of tips for me) When you build distance you need…

well since the above posts - i've been eating at least 1200 net calories, but have been out for a few pre christmas parties and have had lots of alcohol:drinker: Today was the first day of no snow on the ground, so I ran home and it felt good. I'm drinking lots of water so hopefully before my weigh in day on friday I might…

great post - thanks, such simple ideas and yet they are very effective.

I've not lost a lot in the past few weeks and I was advised that as my net calories were between 800 -1100 cals then my body was in starvation mode. Try eating at least 1200 especially when you're exercising. I've not weighed in yet to confirm if this works or not - but i'm not feeling as tired or drained as I was feeling.

right that's it i'm off to bed - to sleep off the hangover!

I weighed the same today - so still 151.2lbs. I've not been eating enough calories (my net calories for the past few weeks has been under 1200 ) so I am increasing my intake so i'm hoping for a weight loss next week. But as xmas is only 2 weeks away I don't think i'm going to get to 10lbs but I will keep trying for the…

First of all when done on the fact that you've got this far. Running is one of the best sports for weight loss, relaxing and chilling out after a hard days work. If you only want to increase pace for a 5 k then you would need to start doing some interval training - sprinting for 30 seconds and then recovering at jogging…

Going to fill up on calories now - a late night cheese sandwich! mmmm

Thanks - I've just checked out a few of those links and It makes sense that your body needs a certain amount of calories to survive, as I always do at least 50 mins a day of exercise and don't have a terrible diet (vegetarian for 16 years and now I eat some fish and meat) I guess I am not having enough and that empty…

when i was a member of a gym I never took my phone - it was my chill out time. I could never talk on the phone when on the treadmill. I can hardly breathe let alone talk!!
