Thanks :D C25K is ace, I've only just finished week 2 and the changes in just a week are amazing! x

Hey :) I'm Lottie, I'm 24 from the UK. End of July is exciting times for me holiday, and a 5K, so hopefully I'll see lots of changes too as I'm currently doing couch to 5K so running every other day and trying to decide what to do on my inbetween days. I'm hoping to lose 2lbs, fingers crossed! x

I weight unofficially every other day, but Monday or Sunday is the weight I log, because I like to take the weight after a rest day I find I'm heavier the day after a work out x

I thought it was a day so I googled..... copied and pasted from NHS blood and transplant - "People who are planning to undertake exercise after giving blood should be advised that donation may affect their performance and may also increase the risk of bleeding from the venepuncture (needle entry) site and of other adverse…

Thanks :D I dont watch tv often enough to see ads any more but going to give this a looksie sounds interesting. I dont believe in that stuff (studied psych n sociology so I'm more aware than most how social stuff can influence people... parents passing on eating habbits etc) but always fun to see :D x

morning, once a week. my weight will go up by 2 or 3 lbs by night time, but drop back down as a loss next morning... and once a week after my rest day because I will weigh more the day after exercising. x

*hangs head* this will probably only make sense to UK people... do you remember that O2 advert... "I was born a handsome man, but now I'm half a goat" ... yeah I have that as my ringtone.... its actually getting a bit embarrassing when it goes off! lol x

Chocolate :) I either make room in my cals for it (like today I had cake...) or I have the teeniest piece of really dark bitter chocolate x

W2 D2 done, in danger of tmi I really needed a wee though...lol x

unfortunately its just london and manchester this year x

That makes perfect sense to me :) I have real problems measuring distance :( I need to work on that not a clue where I've been :S x

I'm doing color run in July and cant wait! its about fun more so than running, but I cant hide that I'm a little disappointed the person I'm doing it with has decided its going to be a walking event for her :( but oh well! x

me me me! theres a whole group for C25K doers come join us :D x

Worth remembering there are loads of different types of contraceptive pills..... I was on the progestogen only pill (cerazette) , which they claim doesnt cause weight gain, but can cause the body to retain water... I did a bit of a test with it when I went back on it... no change in eating or exercise ( I literally logged…

part of me agrees part of me disagrees... "cheat days" I hate the idea of... but then I think anyone on such a diet that means they need a cheat day to eat things they want to are shooting themselves in the foot in the long run... I dont believe in cheat days but I play my cals so I remain under my goal... If im going out…

I missed yesterday so just did W2 D1...My ankle gave me a bit of gip today which really sucks. It was a hard one but still went further than before so no complaining :) x

I just find places irritating that cane make up their mind! You get to know which shops come up small and which big (looking at you m&s!) but when places arent consistent just gggrrr! 2 identical skirts from dorothy perkins same size, 1 fits perfectly the other is tiny!! x

Try it both ways see what works for you :) For me a small snack (usually a banana) before a work out was best for me, I was lethargic and it was a waste of time other wise. Then I would have a proper breakfast once I finished. x

For me anything caffeinated is a no no , or anything considered "pop"/"soda" , their more chemicals than water!, fruit juice is mostly packed with sugar so i dont count that either... for me water is water ....or squash ... I count squash as water because I dont like the taste of some waters, without the squash id of had…

Oops! accidental post...

November is too far away :'( I really hope I'm able to get cinema tickets for it!! :| x

I finished Week 1 on Friday, and that was it for me! I can't wait till tomorrows run get started on week 2! :) I've been doing zombie run so I think the story helps me along too cant imagine running without the story yet... x

1 cup - 236.59 ml or 8fl oz half pint drinking glass is 284ml a pint drinking glass is 568ml I looked into this when I saw it said 8 cups... being from the UK a cup is as accurate as a bowl or a handful to me ... so me 8 cups is actually 6 and just over half half pint glasses... or 3 and just under a quarter pints... 3 and…

I used to go to the gym every day at 5am. If I didn't eat it was pretty much a waste of time, I had no energy, didn't put enough into it, and would feel physically sick by the end... So I used to just have a banana before hand and a proper breakfast after, and the difference was unbelievable. It made the work out so much…

I'd take a couple days rest, just forget about it for a few days then try again. I think you dont want to move on to week 5 and find yourself even more discouraged... dont worry about speed take it slow and give it ago whether it be W5 or W4 you can do it :) you just need to get your confidence back. I find if I'm not…

Yay! Thats awesome, well done! And good luck in your 5K, dont worry about how long it takes :) x

It is annoying! stupid phones (or whatever..) Its such an ace feeling thinking oohh I could manage a bit more :) I love it :) x

I live quite rural, and just run around the village (well technically I run into the next village and back :o! lol)... The paths are in appalling condition so it has quite a cross country run feel to it, especially in places where I have to dodge puddles run through the mud left by the tractors. There is this one field of…

W1D3 Zombie style complete :D and I loved it! My phone missed a couple of the stop running promts because they fell at the same time as music changes so I actually over ran a couple times but then I also ran more in my free form 10mins, and once it was all over and I was still making my way home I ran some more too! I feel…

I like to get it done in advance but everytime I think yes thats it thats today/tomorrow sorted something happens and I have to change loads... lol x
