My ex husband often brought me flowers, in fact it is one of the things he made a big point of telling me as I was packing my bags. A bunch of flowers once a month did not make up for the rest of the cr@p. My new husband has rarely got me flowers but he has got me random presents just because he thought I would like them…

Tandoori chicken should be ok, it normally comes with salad and is quite filling.

peanut butter with salad and mayo sandwiches, worcester sauce in boiled eggs, Bovril (a beef stock drink similar in texture to marmite/vegemite) on toast

Does it really matter....?

Any song about being tired *yawn* it is way passed my bedtime.

Slow down to a light jog, I have kept my pace slooooww but I have not repeated any weeks and am now running 25 minutes at 4.6mph, ok I won't be breaking any records soon but my endurance goes up every week. I also force myself to speed up for the last minute every time however tired I am to 5mph. I only run faster than…

Don't want to be rude but I would trust my GP over a bunch of well meaning people on MFP... I have a lot of respect for the support and love on MFP but I would still trust my GP more for medical advice.

try the plank

Do ye love your hardcore No idea who it is by but is the final track in my body attack class and is very intense with lots of jumping jacks.

You are! If I can you can :)

The program works really well :smile: I did my first week 7 run last night, 7 weeks ago I couldnt run and last night I did 25 minutes straight. I was so happy when I stopped - extremely sweaty but very proud :happy:

I do classes on my non run days, sometimes I do classes on my run days just depends how the week pans out!

Couch to 5km and w = week and d= day e.g. The w6d3 run is 25 minutes non stop etc.

I am doing my first run of week 7 today... it will be hard but I am looking forward to the challenge!

"I paced the floor. My room was nothing posh , just an attic space with a window and a bed and a desk." Although I prefer the next line: "Muffin sniffed my legs and her tail puffed up like a bottlebrush."

I am just starting week 7 of C25k, I redid run 2 of week 6 after I finished my body attack class yesterday just for fun. I never imagined I would do a run just for fun and certainly not after doing a 50 minute high intensity work out class!!

Hubby and I have donated our fat clothes to, two sackfuls so far and a third sack started.:laugh:

I have a polar ft60 I have used it for swimming and aquarobics with no problem recording heart rate on either. I contacted Polar to check and they told me that it is fine for swimming but that the chlorine may affect the signal and not to operate the buttons while it is wet. So far it has been problem free.

We have a similar thing with my step daughter, she is making comments that her belly is too big. She is just starting puberty and whilst she used to be very skinny, she is getting a little pot belly now (we have not said that to her). Because she has raised the issue we have pointed out that both her father and I are…

I refuse to let my step kids have chocolate or sweets or sugary cereals. If they have dessert it is fruit, they are not allowed soda or squash that contains sugar. Basically I am a mean and nasty step mommy that insists they eat their veg, they don't eat food for the sake of it (step daughter loves all things carb) and…

Go today but don't push it to the point of real pain.

I would second that, I started it 6 weeks ago and can run at a light jog speed for 20 minutes, I run faster outside than I do on a treadmill which I am surprised about. I mostly train on a treadmill but I am trying to build up my running outside so that I can do a 5k in July.

Feel free to add me, I had an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage a few years ago and have now had to come to terms with never having my own kids (I have two step children).

No no no no no - a pound of fat and a pound of muscle will always weight the same ONE POUND, it may take up less room but it weighs exactly the same. Just as a pound of lead and a pound of feathers weigh one pound but take up vastly different amounts of room.

Tandoori chicken or chicken tikka (not tikka masala) shouldnt be too bad, they normally come with salad.

We signed up at a DW gym as they only do a 6 month contract, there are loads of classes to do. Although it is not what I would call cheap for £38 a month I get to use the gym and private pool and I do around 7 classes a week. Given the average cost of classes near me being £4 a time I am saving around £74 a month being a…

I had mine out 20 years ago, I ate peanuts the day after and broke my stitches, really not a nice experience but even with that I was back to normal after a week or so.

well done :drinker: :happy:

congrats

A piece of bread and butter, some cold meat e.g. ham or chicken and a slice of cheese, sometimes I add a boiled egg.
