No dramas, but just also remember that to some people, 7k is still a significant achievement, so comments like "not to belittle your run" etc can be quite hurtful. Thanks for your suggestion.

I wasn't saying the race was anything special, I was just saying I wanted to cook something nice the night before, and was asking for some recipes.

Thats one of my favourite things too. :D

It's amazing - and the barcode scanner is so awesome! It's so great for a quick calorie checker on the go, to see what something is worth BEFORE you eat it. Definitely worth downloading!

I have a Garmin FR60 which I am obsessed with - its a little more pricey than some of the others, but you can track your course via GPS, and it uploads all your data via USB to your computer, and stores it all into a nice little graph. :)

I don't understand this at all. I LOVE breakfast! haha But yeah, I'm with everyone suggesting a protein shake! Not as hard to stomach early in the morning, maybe?

I love the Ministry of Sound Running Trax CDs, and re-mixed tracks (like Girl Talk, or DJ Earworm). I'm also a sucker for a bit of Britney ;)

Hey Sarah, I'm Belle! Welcome to the site - it's pretty addictive and really keeps you motivated :)

It's funny how competitive people can get! And as you said, it's more hurtful because it's coming from jealousy - instead of feeling inspired, she's now feeling belittled? All you can do is feel amazing about your progress, and make sure when you speak about what you are doing, you do it in an open way, and not in way that…

I really love carrot and celery soup too... yum.

I was going to suggest vegie burgers, but you said no bread.. so maybe you can still have the vegie patties, but with a big salad? The vegetarian mince is also pretty good.. maybe you could make vegetarian tacos? (Not sure if the taco shells are OK?) I eat meat, and i do love me some vegie patties/felafels etc, but I'm a…

Welcome! It's super addictive - especially once you started seeing the changes!

Welcome!! Its such a great motivator, i love it :)

I know. But she's "healthy"! Argh. Just makes me angry, really.

Thats awesome - you must be so proud of yourself :)

My main one was seeing photos from my friend's wedding (in which I was a bridesmaid) and just thinking, "when did i get so huge???"

I love kangaroo - especially the pre-marinated steaks/roasts etc. I also love that the sausages are called "kanga bangas" - cracks me up. haha

I'm pretty sure she was exaggerating to make a point...

Oh one more thing - does anyone ever feel like their brain is working BETTER a couple of days after a migraine? I once read a report that compared migraines to a computer's need to be shut down - once it reboots itself it works more effectively. Not sure if that's true - but the report also said that if this WAS true,…

Mine are mainly back/neck, hormonal, and smell triggered. Luckily(?) i experience different severity - so at the moment while I'm suffering from TOM related migraines, i can still work (while at reduced capacity). For me, exercise sometimes also triggers them, especially if my back or neck are feeling particularly tense. I…

Mine is pretty boring - my name is Belle, and I use this screenname for Twitter. I was too lazy to think up something witty and relevant, so i just used the same name :D

haha i like to call it "Tetris for Calories".

Oh you reminded me! I saw that this morning on my iPhone (a blog post about Girl Talk) but totally forgot about it - thank you so much for poking my memory :)

Thats awesome!! Well done :D

haha I'm not surprised you got tired - thats a serious list and a whole lotta dedication. Thanks for sharing it :D

Oops, sorry to double up the posts, had a quick scan but didn't see anything! Awesome suggestions so far, too. I have to admit, i also love a bit of Britney, and some GaGa. (Especially Toxic, and Bad Romance).

Hey! I'm new too - also loving the site. i have the iphone app too, and it's awesome. Great for motivation!

I usually only have a snack in the afternoon (usually cheese flavoured rice cakes or similar)... my problem is being around OTHER people who snack.. if im on my own i dont eat a heap, but if im in a group, ill eat what they're eating. Peer pressure poundage!!
