hi, it's good you feel good about yourself at last, that bit of confidence alone could help with any eating disorders that raise there ugly heads. you could argue that all of us on here are a little OCD about food and exercise, does that mean we all have eating disorders? hmmm... the most difficult thing i have found when…

the best way i found was to mix it up, running on treadmill, walking outside, step aerobics (from my much bashed out 20 year old Cher video!!), stability ball and some kickboxing workouts. good for your body this way as well as you work all the muscle groups julie

hi thanks everyone, t s proopanalol i'm on. might have a word with doc but am reluctant to change as they do work for me. i might try some Brainwave Entrainment my hubbys just got the software. for now i will just have to kick myself up the backside and get moving!! x julie:wink:

hi, it's not your treadmill that is faulty, this just the way they work. outside i run about 6mph on the treadmill i do 5mph, my husband who is a lot fitter than me finds it the same. got something to do with the continuous movement of the belt. personally i love my treadmill ad do all my running on it now. love messing…

i would think it works the same as exercising any particular muscle group, you need to keep the same exercise regime increasing bit by bit in order to improve with my running if i do hills for a few weeks they get easier, if i then run on flat no hills for weeks when i come back to the hills i struggle again. it uses a…

hi i wouldn't stretch it too much you may injure/rip/tear muscle especially if it is tight. it would be better to loosen it. try this and no laughing while you do it!! you stand with feet hip width apart and keeping feet on floor , move left knee in a circle anti-clockwise, then do right knee clockwise.... so you are…

your body will ultimately let you know what it needs and if that is rest you need to listen to it. you may find cutting your workouts to 5 days a week is more acceptable to your body and you won't burn out as quickly i walk the dogs everday and run 3 days a week, the dog walks can be long (4-6 miles) but they are quite…

hi, you usually need to fuel exercise so i wouldn't leave your exercise calories uneaten (hope that makes sense). the most efficient time for your body to metabolise food is straight after exercise as this is when it needs to repair and replenish muscles etc. so the body automatically uses calories in a good way rather…

hi, sorry to agree with everyone else and nag you but you really need to eat more. the thing with exercise is - it needs fuel. diet and exercise are two different animals, dieting loses weight and exercise gets you fit. from a calorie point of view you are only barely eating enough to sustain you without the additional…

hi, you will soon have more friends than you know what to do with!! i'm sending request as well, i started diet and running to help me get over a 10 year Amphetamine habit xx good luck xx

hi welcome, i'm on my last 10lbs to lose and they are a b***h to move, i recommend cleaning your mates bedroom in a heatwave! i did that at my friends on monday and lost 2lbs might go over and do the rest of the house for her! seriously though myfitnesspals database of foods is huge and it is dead easy to use and i find…
