I feel that a lot of unhealthy habits I have at some point in my life engaged in always started with really low self esteem, no trust in myself, and incredibly toxic self-talk (and that included a lot of "what is wrong with me" too!). Basically all of that made me feel like *kitten* about myself, so it seemed pointless to…

I use the headspace app to meditate - it's taken me a while to get into it and I still don't do it as regularly as I probably should, but have noticed some benefits. It's short, manageable segments, I like the voice of the presenter, and they have a few themed courses you can do in 10 minutes or less every day. Not all of…

I've recently started focusing on getting more active every day too, and I've found it useful to think more about how I can incorporate it more into things I'm already doing (feels more sustainable to me than starting lots of new things!). For example, I see friends a few times a week anyway, but have started asking if…

I do actually have some resistance bands somewhere, my comment above was more about the specific exercises in the linked post relying on me being able to tie them onto something at an appropriate height - which may not always work. But in general, can you recommend a good routine that incorporates exercise bands? I'm…

Thanks! I feel like I'm a little too advanced for couch to 5k, but maybe I'll do the latter half and just focus on getting faster in the running intervals! Hiking is great, but unfortunately not an option when I'm travelling for work, as much as I would love that! Same with aerial arts - I don't want to add something else…

Thanks Azdak - unfortunately I'm not sure I will always find somewhere to secure a resistance band in hotel rooms so would prefer something entirely without equipment, but thank you for googling this for me!

Hello - I'm still transitioning, but would love to add anyone who is vegan and has an open food diary. I'm finding it relatively easy where I live (and have made a lot of delicious food recently!), but I travel for work quite often and find it much more challenging there. Any inspiration would be amazing.

Looking for new friends, so add me if you want! I've got about 10kg/20lb to lose, and I'm also not into fad diets anymore.

In the past I've done well with packing vegetables like carrots, cucumber, edamame or sugarsnap peas - I know those are probably all on the sugary side of the vegetable kingdom but maybe that's better than fruit? I've also packed a loaf of seeded bread plus hummus, peanut butter or cheese slices. i also love smoked tofu,…

Londoner here! Add me if your diary is visible to friends :)

I'm only on a 3 day streak, but would really like some friends whose daily updates motivate me! Hope you dont mind if I add you :)

I've just re-joined MFP and am in need of motivation - and what a lovely idea this thread is. I hope it's OK for me to join! Goals for today - drink 3L of water - exercise for 30 minutes - book a yoga class I'm also looking for friends on here - I've done this before, but all of my friends from back then have become…

Londoner here! 26, 5"5 and about 11lb to lose. Trying the whole clean eating thing, and quite enjoying running (not very good at it) and swimming (quite good). Looking into doing some strength training, but not sure where to start. Would like some more friends, so feel free to add me, everyone!

I'm with you on this, I also gained about a stone and a half. I've half-arsed the weightloss regime for almost a year now (since I graduated), but I think I'm finally ready to take it seriously. I've been training - and ran - a 5k in July, but then haven't really done any exercise since. I'm back to swimming and running…

I honestly have no idea - I used to be 108 and still have flabby bits (well, what teenagers think are flabby bits) and I've never really been toned. I'm aiming at 126-ish as well, but will see how it goes - I won't cry if it's a little more, as long as I get rid of the excess belly and arm fat...

Thanks everyone! That was really helpful! I do have the couch to 5k app by zenlabs. I'm following it most days, just adding on an extra few minutes at the end so I always get to 5k, whether it's running or walking. But the next two weeks are pretty much just straight out runs ranging that increase by a few minutes every…

I started last night - it's the third time I'm trying to do this, and this time I really want to go through with it!

I want to start again, too! I got half way through last time and then moved house. My new place is an old Victorian house with very thin walls and floors - slightly scared the neighbours will end up at my doorstep complaining if I do jumping jacks etc when they're in. Does anyone have a similar problem? Or am I being…

I have (very mild) asthma, too, and the very first time I tried this I had to give up half way through. The second day I managed to get through it and then became much better very quickly. Seems as if a LOT of people have issues at first and improve very rapidly, so if I was you I wouldn't be too scared. Just make sure you…

Do you have the whole P90x package? How's the Cardio bit? Would you say 30DS is a bit of a walk in the park in comparison?

Just what I need! I actually started the DVD in September, but couldn't even properly make it through the first workout because I'm seriously out of shape. Glad to see others are the same! I started again last week (I'm using youtube videos) and tonight will be my day 4. I'm 25 and live in London, UK. I'm currently 147lb…
