Hi I'm going to try Veganuary! I've been trying to transition from veggie for a while so am hoping this will be the final step. Happy to have friends who are doing the same :)
-
I'm finding the same too. I'm hoping to make the the change eventually. I'm a relatively new veggie so making changes gradually.

Hi had a Vivofit for a while but need some connections for motivation and ideas :) I'm Stoicus on Garmin :)

Add me if you like same username Stoicus on vivofit, that invitation extends to everyone :)

Been running for a couple of years, not a fast runner, more the tortoise than the hare, but currently training for a marathon in April. The more running buds, the better I think especially for motivation, anyone is free to add me :)

I would love some more running buddies, anyone can feel free to add me :) I'm more like the tortoise than the hare, but I get the runs in.

My RHR is 43-46, this morning it was 45 it has been as low as 38 on the rare occasion. I'm 35, 5ft 4" and about 50lbs overweight. Before I started exercising, two and a half years ago, it was 65-70ish. I now run, doing my first marathon next year, and work out five times a week. I have always had low blood pressure despite…

I'm up for 100, I've already started training for the London marathon next year. If anyone wants to add me for mutual encouragement, feel free :)

Agree with seeing the doctor, I think that's important to do, be on the safe side. I also wanted to say, when I started running, breathing and an ill fitting bra hurt my back and occasionally caused chest pain. I prefer the running bras that cross at the back, much more supportive. I also found my chest ached after doing…

When I run 5k at an easy pace I burn around 250 calories, when I run it at race pace I burn around 490. I use a HRM. I've found MFP estimates to be completely inaccurate as far as calories burned are concerned.

I started SW last week after a long period of using MFP and I also decided to track what I was eating on here. Mainly to see the differences as my weightloss really slowed down whenever I tried to go under 1500 cals as MFP suggested. I have to admit after such a long period of controlling cals per day, SW seems alien and I…

^^Agree. I use Nutrisport 90+ also and only use half a serving. I started small and am just about ready to order my first 5kg tub. It really is good value and I've seen good results too :)

My resting RHR is 43. It was in the 60's before I started running. I have assumed, rightly or wrongly, that this was because of the exercise. I have no other symptoms. I also seem to have trouble pushing myself above 150 when running, but I've come to the conclusion that it's because of the type of running, long distance.…

I started Couch to 5K when I was 200lbs+, I'm now 185. I started slow, in fact I'm still pretty slow but I am still overweight. I use a treadmill predominantly which is easier on the joints. I don't run outside at the moment, but I have run on concrete and I can tell you it really hurt after. I've read that a lot of…

Hi, I'm 5ft 4 and I honestly never gave my height a thought when it comes to weightloss. I've managed so far to lose 44lbs and have another 45lbs to go. I can't wait to be at my goal weight this year, 2012 baby :) That said, I'm more than happy for people to add me as friends and continue on together :)
-
I'm from FFL 1 and if anyone wants to add me as a friend on MFP, you are more than welcome to :)

I posted this in a similar thread, so am pasting it here for you: I hadn't run since school, over 17 years ago, but started C25K this year because I'd seen so many people happy with the results. I'm on week 5, and absolutely loving it! I can offer some advice following the program, through my trial and error and hope that…

I lost my son when he was four months old, cot death (SIDS), in 2003. I can say now, looking back that it crippled me emotionally. I became a shut in, my weight ballooned and I eventually took antidepressants to try and function for my daughter, who was just three at the time. I swore I would never have another baby or…

I used to log the running parts and the walking parts separately, and a slow jog is roughly 5mph and the brisk walking 3.5mph. Now I use a heart rate monitor for the entire session.
-
Sounds great, count me in :)
-
Sent an invite too :) I've found Google+ to be an excellent way to share with MFP friends, if anyone wants to feel free to circle me too. :)
-
Thanks for posting this, rat70, there is really useful advice here :) I've just started week four and recently went from the treadmill to the road, and it made a huge difference, I ached for days after. I'll definitely be following you're advice and adding an incline to compensate.
