well done! that is great - its so hard to give up but so good for your body to do it

i do a combination of both - some days short intensives some days longer runs

fantastic job- you look great - you must have worked really hard!

My HM is at the end of August - first ever! I did a 14km run on Sunday in quite windy condiiotns - hope its not windy on the day of the event - not fun running in the wind! 14km is furthest Ive ever ran in my life so felt quite proud of myself - it took 100mins but I figure I still have a while to improve times a little -…

I would take toned and fit over small any day...so much sexier and healthier - you are lucky to ahve that type of body and you look great as you are ;) I hope I resemble your shape over the next year - I would be very happy!

im new to running, doing my first half in august so interested in the replies you get, but I have been advised to do at least one run close to the full distance so you have a really good idea of how your body is going to go with it and help you set your pace etc

Me too-- great simple obvious but very important factsthat Ive ben trying to follow - I even like no.10 because I need even numbers:smile:

thanks for the advice - I will start incorporating them both into training - much appreciated

yes you can if you drink too much too quickly you upset the elctrolyte balance and can have various health symptoms including seizures - you usually get quite a few warning signs first before it gets serious but its important to work out what the right balance is between drinking a lot and drinking too much and that is…

mine seems to hover up and down a lot before dropping each time, but I only ever log a true weight loss - sometimes I re weigh a few days later to make sure it really has dropped before I log it as a lost but I was wondering if tahts what others do as well - thanks

coffee..ive tried giving it up so often and it just keeps coming back, so im not trying to delete it any more, its my beloved old friend with me for life!

I agree with the majority here, the whole point of MFP is to do it the health long lasting way.... ..so why does MFP allow the ads that offer these so-called miracle cures..theres on now 'lose 11kg in 3 weeks' and an add for phenetermine was just on??

well done, thats my next goal - to get into teh healthy range, I will feel so much happier when Im there. Congratulations

Hi, Im training for my first HM in August. I couldnt run longer than 50 metres in January and today did 13km in 90 mins - not the fastest but I ran the whole time and didnt find it too taxing. Im really hoping to finish in 2.5 hrs. Ive started the Hal Higdon training schedule but I really noticed today that it was my legs…

never let myself put it on again! LOL Seriously start ticking of the 101 things to do before im too old...and some of them are very interesting...

Being Australian we have a lot of 90+F days and I love running in the early evening in it - much better than being stuck inside on teh treadmill like I a m now because its dark - I love the feeling of running outside on a hot day

its one of the joys of running...you know if you are hungry after it you must have worked hard and burnt a decent amount of calories - as long as you dont eat more than you burnt then you are doing exactly what you are meant to- completing the feedback mechanism your body needs to keep losing and be healthy - take it as a…

You look fantastic Croz...you deserve the look and the admiration we all have for you..you ahve exercised your butt off (literally) - you are always so good and dedicated - Im hoping to be a little more like you from now so I can get to my goal too. Well done again xx

I do - every morning since starting my new routine...Ive found it helps start my water consumption for the day and Ive heard it helps get your metabolism started but Im not sure thats a fact. But I have been told to rinse staright after it as the acid is bad for your tooth enamel.

hahahhah..you sound like me..I think my husband is looking forward to that to! :laugh: :laugh:

:flowerforyou: so funny...we should all be ashamed at how easily we were seduced by MFP leaving poor FB feeling lonely and old...but we arent!:laugh: :laugh:

Thanks Adman..Im so close to breaking that 30min on my hill 5km run....time to start concentrating on the 10km time...doubt I will ever catch your times though... but the competition in it will keep me going:laugh:

Option 2 Running: 12 km to go Cycling: 44 km to go (think im going to struggle on this one!):smile:

I was recently told that no matter how much weight you lose your boobs wont get below what you were around age 18 - so if you had big boobs then you still will after losing weight. I had my reduction 14 years ago - best thing I ever did. It is painful but as long as your rest and give it time to heal it will be good. Ive…

amen amen amen

me too - i need to do more than running so adding some cycling will be a good challenge and hopefully kickstart some serious calories burnt - Im going for option 2 but may struggle with the cycling total as I dont really like cycling -LOL

I would love to join your marathon but Im in australia....wish i could come over your way one day:) Thanks for the advice re the Garmin

Definately agree with the running club idea.. I run on my own all week but run with a beginners running group on sunday mornings and they have definately got me to the 10km point this quickly..it helps push you to distances you wouldnt consider doing yourself..along with giving lots of good advice and tips and meeting new…
