You can run!!!!! That really is all you have to tell yourself, like every body else has said just take it easy to begin with run/walk/run/walk & slowly it will get easier to run further, just stick with it & believe in yourself. Perhaps set your self a goal, such as enter a race in the future to give yourself motivation to…

Hi & welcome along, I am a returning member after being away for a while I have returned to get rid of my excess weight about 40lbs to begin with. I find i have to write down all my foods or I slip to easily back to old ways. Im also walking 30 mins every day until i feel fit enough to run comfortably. good luck & be…

Hi I have done something similar a few years ago, i was also doing dips on a bench when i had a strain on my chest it hurt like hell afterwards & i spoke to a doctor, he said i had probably sprung my ribs. He explained this as the ribs being pushed in towards my chest & the cartilage that holds the ribs together stretching…

I weigh myself once a week at the same time when its convenient to me, always wear the same clothes (shorts, t-shirt as i weigh myself at same time as i do a work out), I've tried weighing myself before & after a workout & there was no difference, but you will get different results if you weigh on different days or at…

Ive been using the kinect with active sport 2, its burning about 250 cals for 25mins approx, varies from workout to work as it changes the routine every time, some days its all round work so burn a bit less, then other times it might be lower body & the calori burn goes higher. Been playing it 3 weeks & love it, absolutely…

Been playing Black ops, but seem to be playing it less & less, nothing else i rearly fancy playing at the mo

Hi & welcome ive been on the site for a few weeks now, im from the UK also. I have found this site so helpful so far with the Iphone app as well i can keep track wherever I am. Also the people on here are all supportive,(probably because we are all in the same boat). Keep strong & if ever you feel its not going right, put…

Motivation is about remember your goals that you set in the first place & if you go off track, dont beat yourself up about it, forget it & get back on track. this site is a great place for keeping you on track & great people for encouragement.

seems a lot of exercise especially if you have only been doing it a few weeks, definetaly need rest days to allow the muscles to repair & recover. dont feel guily for having a day of your body needs it

I live to get out on my motor bike at weekends when ever i can, also enjoy playing computer games, enjoy keeping upto date on facebook & playing a bit of poker now & again

+1 for the Xbox with kinect, we have both the Wii & Xbox. The xbox kinect sensor reacts much more realistic to your movements than the Wii. Im using the Active 2 game from EA sports & its a great workout at home.

1. While Strength Training - Is there a creative or unusual exercise you do for strength training your Chest, Back, or Arms besides the traditional presses, rows, and curls? I've heard about kettleballs and seen some odd exercises at the gym. Ive only got back into getting fit last couple of weeks, i have begun using EA…

Hi & welcome, a great site & even greater support from al the people on the site

My wedding (18 June) & also that ive been there before lost about 7stone last time & ran a marathon an ambition i had for quite a long time, Im not as big as i was before i started last time, but have decided i need to get fit to have a healthier life.

Im fairly new to the site & all i can say to the creator(s) is thank you firstly & foremost. It is an amazingly easy site to work with, the only thing i have found slightly hard to get to grips with is the forum, its not a complaint, its just its lay is different to most others have been on. Perhaps a simple solution to…

Well done on your lose in your first week, im fairly new also & have found this site a great inspiration & motivational tool. keep up the good work

Im also fairly new to the site & found it via the app on the iphone, i must say it has given the real motivation to kick start my weight loss, only been on here just over a week & cant believe how easy it is to use & like you say most of the foods are in the database & even those that arent can be added relatively easy.…

Hi & all i can say is give it a go. I was always the one that didnt like PE at school, never done any exercise & was over weight most of my life until about 7 years ago, i always had aspirations to do a marathon. So when i started to lose weight i decided to try running. I was still over weight & not very fit, i started…
