I know what you mean.....I work 4 nights a week 38 weeks a year (residential school), they are waking nights, and while over the last 2 years I have lost 70 lbs, it's not been easy going. I've been off track for the last month or so, just couldn't keep it up. When the sun goes in, our body produces melatonin which helps us…

Thanks for your post, just what I needed. I've got my first half coming up in 15 days time - yikes ! I've lost 90+ pounds, and even 50 lbs ago I couldn't of dreamt of running a mile let alone a half marathon ! - keep getting nervous about doing it even now......thinking I'll make a fool of myself, especially as my training…

Got some more miles in towards that 100 mark

~Working a waking night shift, and it's 3 am in the morning here, and I had a 30 minute break given to me, so what did I go and do - yep, went over to the fitness suite and managed to get 2 miles in on the treadmill !!!!!

Ok only did that post a little while ago, hadn't used ticker factory before for creating a ticker, so just put in 3 miles, however going back on my records it's more like 12 miles already done :-)

I would love to do this challenge, doing my first half marathon at the end of March, so will be getting the miles in with training.

I'm up for this and have set my challenge to 100 miles. I'm doing my first half marathon at the end of March so training for that, plus just joined the gym, so hopefully 100 miles should be achievable.

Ok so we are at the start of another year. Last year I lose 46 lbs - making a total loss of 86 lbs since the start of this journey (having put some on in December). However it's all coming off again, and I'm now at 93 lbs loss in total. Goals: To get into onderland - 26 lbs away - so well achieveable by my Birthday in June…

I put on weight over December :-( but it's coming back off again, and I plan on keeping it off this time. Weight: 4th Jan - 225.9 lbs Weight left to be no longer obese: 45.9 lbs to go Lost 46 lbs last year, so hoping to be there by the end of 2012. Just starting to train for my first every 1/2 marathon on 25th March 2012 -…

Thanks for that - didn't even know about that site....been trying to find a 5k or 10k to do before attempting my first ever half marathon at the end of March, and found a 5k through this site which would be good for me :-) Thanks

Well I have 2 races that I'm planning on doing this year so far......but then this year will be my first year of doing any races.....so might get the bug for it. March 25 - Yeovil half-marathon June ish - Race for Life. Probably could do with getting a 5K or 10K in before March 25th, but can't find anything localish, that…

Well my first HM is 25th March 2012 - and I've only just agreed to doing it, and starting to train. I've been doing some running before, but only a bit on the treadmill at work during my break.(normally about 2 miles at a time), but do lots of walking as well....so really need to start in with the training. Have been…

It's definately doable, I've lost 92 pounds since starting out on this weight loss journey at the end of June 2010. 1300 is seeming quite low like someone else said, i'm now down 92 pounds, and still on 1460 calories, but it does depend on your height, how active you are normally during the day, my job is quite active, so…

I'm also in the UK - in Somerset to be exact. Born and brought up in Cornwall, but moved to Somerset about 11 years ago.

Sounds great, would love to join.

Invite for December weight loss challenge please :-) Cath

Apparently I read somewhere (can't remember where now) that doing at least 20 mins of exercise before going to bed is good for you and burns more calories. As soon as you go to bed and sleep, your metabolism slows right down, however if you have done 20 mins of exercise, your metabolism will be going faster, and therefore…

Hi - I'm Cath, and I currently live in Somerset and have done for the last 11 years, but originally from Cornwall. I have 3 cats and 1 dog who keeps me fit and the main reason I've managed to lose 97 lbs so far.

Weight on 20th November: 222 lbs Weight to go to no longer be obese: 42 lbs - doesn't seem much when I've already lost 97 :-)
