Great! Thanks all!

11 for Marilyn!

9 - gotta love a creepy smile ;-)

Thanks for everyone's replies, i got some decent running shoes before christmas with a high built in arch because i'm flat footed so i'm hoping it's not that, i've been resting my legs for a while and only been working out on the eliptical so hopefully it will start getting better. I'm sure most of you can sympathise that…

The best way i can describe the pain is it feels as if the leg is slightly out of socket, although i reackon if it were actually dislocated i wouldn'yt be able to move! It hurts on impact and gets much worse after trying to run on it. Cross training or cycling seems to losen it up and make it better!

I agree, i think as long as you're consistent, every week, then it shouldn't matter. I tend to lose weight after a work out, but mainly because i've lost water and am dehydrated. So i feel to weigh after a work out is cheating myself a little bit. I always weigh myself first thing on a friday morning (after going to the…

I have RK on my Samsung and i love it, i have it set to go off every 5 minutes and i like that it tells me my average pace so i know if i'm on course for a PB or whether i need to pick up the pace a little!

I think that's a brilliant time, i'm a beginner as well and my quickest time is 35 minutes :-(

This is exactly, EXACTLY how i feel, i look at my first results and think 'how the hell did i manage all those?' but it's probably because i wasn't doing them properly! We've decided to stop insanity for now, mainly because the weather is still pretty nice so going to take advantage of that and run outside, we have all…

I've been doing Insanity for about 2 weeks now (did my second fit test last night) and i'm finding a lot of pros and cons with it to be honest (some of which you can read here http://honestlyhelen.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/insanity-day-5-an-update/ I'm feeling i'm lacking in motivation with it at the moment because i…

I don't wear skinny jeans but i wear straight leg jeans, which, with my big bum and hips, look like skinny jeans on me but a little more flattering, as they're not skin tight around my ankles. I try and wear them with looser fitting top so it balances out my shape and doesn't make me look too 'in and out' if that makes…

Thank you all so much for responding, it's really helped! When your feeling down and tired it feels like so much effort for little reward (well, slow reward at least) and you feel all sad and pathetic and moan about how it's so unfiar that your can't lose weight by just eating pizza and cake. I think i just needed a verbal…

Absolutely, i think as someone said before it's a lack of understanding and very much stems from jealously. My best friend was always the thin one of the tow of us and it was pretty obvious that she was unhappy i'm taken her title. She even went as far as emailing my husband telling him i was obsessed, that i couldn't have…

Aww thanks very much! When i was researching into insanity i found it hard to find genuine reviews that weren't endorsed by the company, for example people saying the main con was you sweat too much and have to spend money on new clothes' *roll of eyes* not helpful at all! I think the mian thing to remember is to go at…

I've just done a blog post about it now i'm 5 days in http://honestlyhelen.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/insanity-day-5-an-update/ In all honestly it IS really hard but i do feel good after doing it. It really helps my husband is doing it as well so we can motivate each other otherwise i would have probably given up by now.…

Thanks! Any tips on what to log it as in the meantime? :smile:
