Finished week 7 last night! Looking forward to week 8 and beyond :)

I use an ft4 for running and walking, but haven't tried it with strength or xtraining... I've got no complaints. I think it is good value for money.

A trained, experienced and educated professional who has been acknowledged as such by other experts in their professional field is a lot different to a bunch of self appointed experts lurking on an online forum. I can differentiate. It sounds like you would only take an oncologist's advice if you liked their accent! But, I…

You are doing exactly what I set out to do when I decided to start the C25K program. You've got no idea how much it has motivated me to read this - thanks for posting =D

I'm not a paleo/primal/whatever eater, but the manner in which you have applied the definition of a cult has cast such a broad net that all the members of this site could just as easily fit your application - including you. But don't let that stop you from trolling - you seem to have caught a few....

That may be how you (and others) have interpreted 'reboot', but it's not how the term is used in the documentary, or by the other people I know who have actually done a juice fast/reboot. Maybe this misinterpretation is the basis for all the badmouthing of juice fasts that I see on this site..... When using the…

For some reason, there are a LOT of people on this site who have never done a reboot, but still feel the need to give a strong opinion on them..... I give them about the same amount of attention that I give to someone who has never ridden a motorcycle, that wants to tell me how dangerous it is! I started this year with a…

I just got back from completing week 7 day 3 about an hour ago. I can't believe how effective this program has been for me. I have never been a distance runner of any sort. When I was young and fit, I was a sprinter and high jumper. Not many people could beat me over 100m, but a 1/2 mile was my equivalent of a marathon!…

haven't had a drink for over 10 years - don't miss it AT ALL!!!

did week 7 day 1 a couple of days ago. I can barely believe I've improved so much! Feel free to add me, one and all :)

G'day from the Pilbara. I've sent you all requests :)

Anyone here who isn't already my friend, feel free to add me :)

From up the Pilbara, here - feel free to add me, everyone :)

Hi All! If I haven't sent you a friend request, feel free to send me one :)

If you're getting off the couch, you're a winner. Setting your expectations too high will cause you to lose motivation very quickly. I would suggest that, instead of comparing yourself to your sister, compare yourself to you 6 weeks ago. Are you doing better? If yes, you're a winner. If no, see the first sentence in this…

great time to call and quit if you hate your boss, but not for anything else!!

I'm in Newman in Northern WA Add me if you like :)

I just completed week 5 day 2 of the C25K program. I have NEVER been a runner before, but I feel great doing this program :)

Bump for later reference - Please, please, keep 'em coming :)

I would suggest that you get a copy of the documentary, "Get Vegucated". It has a lot of beginner info about the vegan lifestyle, presented in an entertaining way. There are a LOT of myths about veganism out there, so you might be better off educating yourself, rather than taking advice from people who haven't been where…

Do it in a 5 star resort and call it a retreat - you could charge people a fortune for it and make a profit while you learn!

In case you're interested, here's the juice I make. This makes up about 2 litres, which is enough to get me through a 13 hour shift at work... Kale - 1/2 bunch Celery - 4 sticks Beetroot - whole, including leaves Carrots - 2-3 Tomato - 2-3 Medium Capsicum, Red Cucumber - Whole Granny Smith Apple - 2-3 Orange 2-3 Lemon 1-2…

I've just started tracking my caloric intake - i joined this site yesterday with that in mind. I thought it would be a good way to become more conscious of what I'm eating. I'm not sure at this stage how long I'll need to track calories to achieve that goal (of more consciousness) or if that goal will change once I've been…

I won't HAVE to keep juicing, but as it is such an efficient, low calorie source of micro nutrients that I enjoy the taste of, I doubt that I'll want to stop juicing.

Thanks for the encouragement! When I say daily juicing, I mean that, once I stopped the juice only fast, I still had juice every day in addition to other foods - I would make a juice in the morning, have some of it for breakfast, then take the rest to work with me for snacks during the day. I didn't track my calories in to…

I've had great success with Juice feasts. About 18 months ago, I did a Juice only diet for 16 days, followed by daily juicing included in my diet for about 6 months after that, and regular juicing after that. I started at 107kg and was down to 98kg in 2 months. I then kept it off for a year, before I justified letting bad…

I have done several juice fasts - or 'feasts' as I call them. In fact, My latest one was for the entirety of January: 31 days! I had recently started a new job in which I started to pile on weight, so I wanted to reboot the system and I knew from previous experience that this works. I started out with the goal of 10 days,…
