Only by my wife, but thats ok ! :-) I have had a few nice comments from my colleagues and friends, but I certainly wouldn't count it as flirting. It would be nice to be seen as attractive to others, even though I'm happily married -just as an ego boost...

Stop running, ice up and rest. then go and see your Dr or Physio. You may be carrying a slight strain or other injury and over compensating resulting in the high degree of pain you describe.

Inspirational! You should be very proud of yourself, and the dedication you have shown!:smile:

With reference to the example given in the first paragraph, the article seems to have completely ommited to credit the calories consumed from having a "healthy lunch", as opposed to a burger and chips. The friend could still eat a "healthy lunch" and consume 300ish cals. It is the difference between the healthy and…

Superb effort!!!!! I bet you are a very proud and happy man! Well done!

Wow guys, Thanks for all the replies. The great thing I take from it all, it that you are all so consistant in your advice, which comes from experience. Thank you! I have just been for a swim - only 750 meters but feel a little better already. I will also walk to the train station home from work ( 2 miles) rather than…

Well done on completing your first 5k! Good time too. I ran my first 5k ( about 6 months ago) after completing C25K in 32mins. I now run the local PARKRUN 5k most Saturday mornings when I'm not running other events http://www.parkrun.org.uk/bushy/home. My PB is now 22.31. I'm hoping to get under 22mins before the end of…

Do not worry, you clearly have the heart and desire to improve, therefore you will. My first organised 5k took me 32mins. Less than 4 months on, I'm doing 5k in 22 mins with lots more improvement to come - because I believe in myself. You will get there, because you have already achieved the distance!!. As for your…

Keep going at it. I finished c25k in March. Now running 10k regularly, finished my first 10 miler on Monday, have joined a running club, and training for the Windsor half marathon. Believe me, I'm not a natural runner, and certainly would not have achieved anything without MFP and C25K. You will get there, just believe :-)

Hi Welocme to MFP. I have found in my 3 months uusing it to be a great tool with great people willing to help give your the motivational lift just when you need it. Feel free to add me if you need a MFP friend. Niallse:smile:

Hi sounds like you're having an interesting weight loss / lifestyle change journey! Mine is not so interesting, but were all doing this to make ourselves happier and hopefully healthier! Add me as a frind if you like. Another Surreyite ( Niallse) :smile:

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice. The "eating your exercise calories" seems counter intuitive, but clearly it does seem to work, and many many people advise it. I think i will give it ago. Vicky14174 - thanks for your point regarding opening my diary, however i'm affraid i dont know how to. I will…

This is such a sad story. What sort of parent would do that to their own child? I think it’s the mother’s inferiority complex and probably frustrated childhood that drives her to do this to her own kid. Totally sad. I hear it all the time, and can even see it with my own 3 children but "kids are growing up too fast these…

Wow! you both look wonderul. I think you need to change your user name to lean_chopper! Both looking great!

Thanks Guys. You are all doing soo well. Kami- 77lb ! Thats just nothing short of fabulous. Thanks for the messages! KadieA - you ask what a ft is ? If taken from my profile probobly my height - 5feet 10 inches - (178cm) otherwise not sure :ohwell:

Thanks! I need to hear that. I do care of course, as we all do, but somethimes we all need a bit of encouragement! :-)

Wonderfully inspiring! Keep up the good work and good luck with your friend in Sweden!
