yes, eg = e.g. = for example. Eggs *are* vegetarian (although not vegan). having eaten in a very disordered way for years, I have no idea what 'satisfied' feels like. How I feel about food & appetite is not a reliable guide for me. How do I decide what my protein macro should be?

thanks for the replies, I have opened my diary now. I'm a vegetarian not a vegan, so I am fine with whey based protein powders. My question is not what kind but whether I need to take these at all. How accurate/realistic is MFP's default protein recommendation?

I was just coming to post about exactly the same thing. MFP just tried to tell me that a 1 hour step class burned nearly 1000 calories! Even at my 250lb I don't believe it, so I halved it. MFP's calories burned for walking and running are always way over what my Garmin measures so I always enter the actual amounts from the…

another UK veggie here, feel free to add me, I'm re-starting my wl efforts today :)

good luck with C25K, I recently completed it & am now running 5K+ 3 times a week! At the start I couldn't even imagine running 1K! There's an MFP C25K group, lots of support & advice over there http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/47-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k-

another UK person here, hi! always happy to have new friends

2 weetabix with semi-skimmed milk, fat free Greek yoghurt & soft fruit (eg blueberries or raspberries) & a large mug of coffee (black)

Week 6 day 3 completed! First 25 min run! It's all non-stop runs from now on! Now I just have to work on getting a little faster each time

I'm on week 6, am scheduled to do week 6 day 3 tomorrow - run for 25 minutes aaaaaaaaargh (fr sent x)

Hi, my diary is open to friends, feel free to add me :)

I have a C25K app for my android phone, it's really good. And I have just about weaned myself off checking it all the time to see how long is left

Hi, I'm a new vegetarian too, :)

oh yeah, I argue with myself a lot. Eating: what's the point, you've got so much to lose, you've always been fat, you'll always be a binge eater, you'll just put it all back on. And I argue back: I can do this, I don't have to do it all at once, it will take time but I can make it, if I don't try I never will get there,…

I've just finished week 6 and am planning to do a ParkRun 5K on 8th October, which will be just after 'graduation'. Currently running x4 a week - 3 x C25K plus with a local running group! If you'd told me even a month ago I'd join a running group I'd've laughed at you. We are the slowest people there by far (their warm up…

there is no evidence that raspberry ketone aids weight loss in humans.

yay well done! I'm another fat girl who's recently started running on the C25K programme and I've completed the dreaded week 5 20 minute run this morning! If I keep this up I might even start to enjoy running one day

thanks Dot. I'm still waiting for one of these 'Runners' Highs' they promised me!

thanks Esther A few years ago I stopped smoking, with the help of an online community. Here's hoping this one will help me with the WL

I'm doing C25K & googled this question recently! I don't think there is a difference - some people say there's a speed cut off but no-one agrees what that is. IMO it's like the Olympic walking rules - if both of your feet are off the floor at the same time, you're running! You might want to read some more C25K programmes -…
