  • Pretty similar to me! I'm 5'10" and currently 152ish... looking to get down to 140, too :) Tis tough. Good luck!
  • Thanks for your reply :) I really do need to do some strength training... am going to try some hill runs shortly, although I hate hills more than anything! good luck with your speed
  • I've been wondering this, too! Whenever I push myself faster, I just tire quickly and seem to lose motivation (thinking I need to stop etc). How often do you run? I have to run every /other/ day. Whenever I try to run the day after I've been running, I'm so slow and sluggish. (I've only been running for 2/3 weeks). I'm…
  • MapMyRun.com is excellent!
  • Woop! Well done! :D I think I might have to invest in some weights... I'll see how I do with the DVD first though :P
  • Haha, okay - thanks for your reply :) I think my arms are probably quite strong already because I do lots of front-crawl swimming. I don't really want to work on my arms that much, cause I think they're big enough (mostly fat, though!). Is it a bit naive to thing my arm muscle would get bigger though? Maybe they would just…

  • Hey :) We're kinda similar. I'm 5'10" and currently 154, aiming for anywhere between 140-145. I really just want to get fitter and 'toned'. I swim a lot and have recently started running... Got a 5k swim in April and a 10k run in May! I find it ridiculously tough to lose weight but I always used to be around 140 so I'd…
  • Ooh, this is good to hear :P I just bought the 30 day shred but haven't tried it yet. Do I really need some buy some dumbells to do the DVD or can you just use...erm.. a can of beans?!
  • Hey :) I'm new too. Using this site to mainly track my exercise (I'm doing a 5k swim in April and 10k run in May). Would like to lose ten pounds though and generally tone up! Welcome to the site - best of luck with your weight loss. I'm so rubbish at counting calories...think this is gunna be tough!
