I sort of disagree with you, my reason for wearng my ipod when running is to distract me, the music i recently downloaded, called 'fantastic running songs' is not the sort of music i would lay on the beach listening to, but it is the right temp for my pace. To be honest, it could just as easy be a talking book!!

The site is only 10% its the people that are the other 90%

What a truly fantastic posting, ive been there, every step, instead of the race, but my turn is nearing!! Im down for the Great South Run in October. 10 miles round the streets of Portsmouth and Southsea. I only started running a month ago, Im comfortably doing 4 - 5 miles 3 times a week at 5mph and this weekend Im going…

Awesome, very well done, im doing the great south run in october so youre story is very pertinent.

Put it behind you, whats done is done and cant be undone, so recharge and look foward. Get out there and get sweat, remember how invigorated you feel when you finish your workouts. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I had terrible knees due to shock and ainful outer edges on my feet. Just got fitted with a pair of NIKE EQUALON 4 running shoes, they are brill (for me). Go to a shop where they watch you run and check your feet and legs over.

your net calories is whats left after what youve eaten (deductions) and what youve earned (additions). I try and make sure that my net is within 10 - 15% of my calorie goal. I have failed miserably as i seem to be enjoying my jogging but dont see the point in the pain if all im going to do is put the calories back…

i do nothing after a running day, its good to let the body recover

youre the winner, no matter how the result turns out, you will feel better about yourself than they will I guarantee you. Victory is more than a number on the scale

Not only a very good nsv, but a very sensible one , well done

i'd be more than happy to help you. My wife and I have been on here for a few months and have and are loving it. Its a great sight for tracking your food and excercise and for seeking and getting help. Part of using this site as a motivator is knowing that some days it wont be praise you need, but a kick up your virtual…

I started walking, when i got to the stage I was walking 3 or 4 miles, I decided to just to jog a little, then more!! I have just registered to do the Great South Run in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support. It will be a massive acheivement for me. If I can be of any help let me know

Amazing, the smile in the after picture tells the story, you are an inspiration and deserve all the happiness the new you is bringing! Well done x

DO NOT WEIGH EVERY DAY!!! Fluctuations are normal, weigh weekly, same day, same time, this will give you a more subjective indication.

stir fry, tasty and low in calories. Add a stir fry sauce. We had it last week and it is very satisfying

Sounds difficult! Your body might wondr what on earth is going on!!! I hope it works for you cos thats whats important, we are all different and what works for me wont necessarily work for you. Good luck with it

Hi, first id like to say that i dont think there is one person on here that hasnt gone through the odd week of inexplicable weight gain during a long period of weight loss so we all empathise!!! I recently went on a cruise, only 5 days, i ran every day in the ships gym, and always ate under my calorie goal. I put on 3…

I'm not a doctor, or any sort of guru, but m guessing that with your name Chloe, you are female! It might be the case that you have, or are about to, menstruate. This will put weight on temporaily due to water retention. It is unlikely that an infected tooth will make you put weight on. All that being sadid, dont worry,…

OMG, isnt that something we just take for granted, I just tried it and yes, its possible now! I can also now bring my foot up onto the chair to tie my laces, rather that have to tie them from the side!! Keep up the great work

Im a bloke but having been on here for a while I can tell you that most of the women on here will sympathise with you. Water retention during your cycle is common. Its just one of those things you women have to put up with. Think yourselves lucky though, you could have been a bloke and have to spend a fortune on razors and…

Dont know if i fit the bill mate, but ive been on here for a while now, its working well for me and im doing pretty well. I like to help motivate with messgaes and words of encouragement and advice, and am not afraid of saying it how it is if you fall off the rails!! Add me as a friend if you like. Im 52, a truck driver in…

Doesnt matter what we think, but for what its worth, any achievement is massive and its how it makes you feel. Very well done, keep up the excellent work

Fantastic posting, inspiration :-) Keep up the great work, youre doing brilliantly

I only run cos it gives me time to think. Ive found it gets easier, i used to hate it so started off walking. I am now entered into the Great South Run in October which is 10 miles, i thought it was 10k so i got a bit of a shock!! Keep up doing what you are doing, well done

Hi, we have all had days like that, that seem to spread into weeks. The thing i do is set daily goals, like walk a mile, i try and make it more fun by setting myself up to count the number of red cars or something like that, daily goals that are acheiveable, and why not make them goals that will help people you know when…

Only you know what your body will tolerate. If running is what you enjoy then do the running. Its great for the ME time, when you can think all those things out! Do the DVD too if you wish but remember to keep up the calorie intake. Hope this helps

I do aquarobics on a sunday morning and we do lots of water running, it hurts! so I guess it works!

I agree, the biggest gripe I have is weightwatchers food! Lets get real, its the same food, just with the WW points on the label! Its calories, not points!

I recently saw a post on here with a link to youtube about excercise for bed. Im a truck driver so space is limited. I thought the excercises were great and could easily be done by a wheelchair user. If you have any problems finding it, send me a note and I'll find the link.
