Some things I love at the moment: Capsicums (peppers) stuffed with a pre-cooked mixture of turkey mince, chopped vegies, cooked lentils and flavours (garlic, chilli, parsley, lemon etc) then baked until they soften. Along the same lines, cook some turkey mince with vegies and spices, then add some cooked black quinoa. Good…

Two things: It's much harder to notice your own body looking different, we all have distorted views of ourselves sometimes. Secondly, the camera adds ten pounds. You are not disgusting.

Thanks for all the tips. My race is in two weeks and I feel like it's doable (it's a 12k). I took my husband on my long run this weekend (he rode a bike). The running app I was using wasn't working properly. It underestimated our distance, hence it kept telling me I was going ridiculously slow (which made me think I was…

What concerns me most about this thread is the constant use of 'juice' as an intransitive verb

well done!

This can get pretty annoying for things that don't come in a package, eg I found 3 different listings for the calorie value of avocado.

bump! Try looking on the Success Stories board or the 30DS before and after threads.

I'm 188 pounds and 5'11". I am probably carrying a large turkey on my runs ...

For those of you playing at home, I skipped a few days of running and then busted out a 10.5k long run yesterday. It was Ok. I wouldn't call it amazing but it only sucked in parts. I had a few longish walk breaks (3-4 mins) and my pace was about average. I hope I can keep improving, thanks for the tips :)

I ran 10.5 km today. (Furthest run, longest run, slowest run!) As I was going along I realised that my upper body does not slosh around any more when I run. Also sometimes I even get in the zone and enjoy myself. And I think my legs have changed shape since I started running seriously, my pants fit differently. Can't wait…

Do you equate relaxing with eating and drinking? Maybe you could try substituting some other activity that is just as relaxing (I have no concrete suggestions, I think getting a massage every day could prove quite expensive!)

Are you eating enough for breakfast and lunch? Or are you starving by 4pm? I found that setting my calorie goal a bit higher really helped me to cut back on bingeing, also making sure that I still eat yummy things that I enjoy, instead of trying to live off things that taste like cardboard (I'm looking at you, cruskits and…

My amazing husband just massaged a giant knot out of my calf... It was like turning off a switch, I wasn't even aware of how ouchy it was. Of course I did call him a few names while he did it. And make faces. Thanks for the advice, I'm skipping a day of 30ds (level 1 day 3) and tomorrow will bike (to work) instead of…

I just tried a reverse plank. Couldn't even get air between my butt and the carpet ...

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I'm definitely not overtraining, I usually run two-three short (30-40 mins) and one long run per week and have four rest days, I think of myself as pretty lazy actually. But maybe I need to take a few extra days off (sounds nice!) I think my TDEE is around 2200 and I've been eating…

My last two runs were interval runs of 30 minutes. Is there a shame smiley? I actually find it easier to go for a long run because I feel like I'm achieving something.

Please sign me up if there's space left :)

long-time lurker... first-time poster. I bought a new T-shirt in a smaller size, and it fitted me perfectly! (I'm now a 12 (Aust) up top, and a 16 below - meh) Entered all my food for the day at breakfast, and then ate it (as opposed to 'seeing how I feel later' and ending up eating junk) My mother-in-law noticed. Went…
