I wish i had seen this earlier. 5 weeks ago i decided to start walking, in the beginning i walked 2.5 miles for the first 3 days and then upped it to 4 miles 5 days a week. I now enjoy it so much that i have trouble settling in the eve if i haven't had my walk. I can walk about 4.5 - 5 miles and on weekends i do 6-7 miles…

i was on it for about 3 months. Stay away from KFC, McD's, burger king and Dominoes and don't eat anything with more than 5g of fat. When you get to day 3 then don't go too far away from a ladies, drink loads of water and carry sanitary towels and spare clothes just in case. If you take oral contraception then reconsider…

thanks for that, There's one in the Arndale, i'll check it out.

well my training has been brought to a halt due to a cold. I have not felt well since wednesday, i tried to go out on friday but could only mange a walk. It means when i get better i'll have to start week 4 again. I'm not a happy bunny. Hope everyone has a good weekend though.

Hello from across the pond. i'm a 35 year old mom of 3 and i'm also a mature student just finished my first year. the kids are 10, 5 and 3. I have lost 17 lbs since my journey started in nov, still have about 40lbs left to go. you can add me if you wish,

i think you are running 5 miles, it takes me 50 to walk 5km and i can jog it in 40 min. Double check with an instructor what the units are, but i'm quite sure it's in mile not km.

I agree, also, add some strength training to your routine that might just make the difference. I found that after a while walking alone was not as effective as it was in the beggining so i added some weights to build muscle and help burn more fat.

i use calipers, they are easy to use and much more accurate than my scales. You can get one on ebay for under $5 and they don't take up space. Together with my good old tape, i am never disappointed. i am currently at 30% down from 35%, I'm aiming for 20% or under.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Jaffa cakes. I think i'll go pick up another packet from Tesco seeing as i ate the last one :)

WHAAAT! now what kind of country doesn't have Jaffa cakes! I wanted to move to the states, but i don't think i could live somewhere with no Jaffa cakes. Maybe i'll just visit then.

W4D1 done, the first interval was ok but i struggled with the second. I had to take a 10sec breather during the last 5 min run, but i did it. I couldn't go out yesterday coz the skies opened up and it poured all day. I haven't bought a waterproof Kagool yet but i might have to invest in one. Can't wait for day 2, tho my…

Weekend was good, i did W3D4 on saturday. I did an extra day coz i didn't feel ready to move to week 4. I rested sunday and yesterday but it's pouring out today and i really wanted to get started with week 4. I'll see if the rain lets up later and i'll go out this eveing. The 5 min run has me a bit scared though, wish me…

i don't want to measure my BMI as i don't hold much stock in it , i prefer to reduce how much fat i carry therefore i prefer to measure my body fat %.

I've not run at all but i did my W3D1 yesterday and the second interval floored me and i kept thinking "i'm not doing this again". But i finished it and when i woke up today i felt pretty good, so good that i decided to go out again today. I figured if i needed to get back on that horse before i give up. As i was running i…

Hi I know i went for my run yesterday and did W3D1, but i felt pretty good this morning that i decided to go out again today. I didn't struggle as much on the second interval as yesterday and i think i went further than i did too. If the weather is good tomorrow i might do it again. Am I getting obsesses? I'm loving it…

Hi I use this website, read the notes at the bottom for the V02 max figure. http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/ hope it helps

is it too late to join? I just did W3D1. The first half of the workout was ok but i really had to push on the second interval.

Rooibos Vanilla Tea, it tastes great anytime of day. either by Tetley or tick Tock.

i agree, use a jug just to be on the safe side. i mean, if you need 400ml of milk then you use a container not scales, right? so just find a container with 10ml or 20ml increments and use that instead.

Thinks K-Fed with sovereign madalions and burberry cap, jacket shoes and anything else that u can get in burberry, and that is a chav.

what would Chavs be in the US?

of course, invite on the way

Hagen Daz Dolce leche icecream and pringles(once you pop, you can't stop)

I have the same problem. I bought a kilner jar and filled it with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, almonds, hazelnuts and brazil nuts and a few peanuts and some raisins. I keep it on my kitchen counter and near the kids cookie jar, so when i try to reach for the biscuits (which is my weakness) i get blocked by the seeds and i…

i'm thinking when i finish mine, i'll go on to the c210k programme. That's if i survive this one.

Yes, it actually tells you to do that in the notes under the table so that it gives you a better reading.

I use this site: http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/ i input the details and use the results to log my excercise.

i sent u a friends request. i'm also in the uk

I do that as well, my fav is apple an blackcurrent. i make it very weak just to give the water a bit of flavour. Otherwise i'd only drink tea, i like redbush tea with smimmed milk and cologran sweetners they have no cals.
