I'm basically doing this diet and I'd say add nuts for a start. I hit about 1,800 calls per day, so add me if you want to check my diary. I also do plenty of cardio on this diet, including training for a half marathon with no ill effects.

Add me too please, always looking for more friends to support and be supported by. I'm on everyday and have been on this for almost 12 months now. Anyone else fell free to add me too :)

I'll add ya

Great :) I'll send you a FR. I'm always on the lookout for more supportive UK friends. Anyone else that's after more friends please feel greet o add me too, I'm on daily and supportive.

I've definitely got a bit on ginger going on, especially in the beard :) Feel free to add me anyone, always looking for more friends

I'm on 1,800 calls and my meal breakdown is very similar to what you quoted. My main meal of the day is 600-800 most days, I maybe use more for lunch and snacks than you do but as long as you are feeling OK through out the day it doesn't really matter 'when' you use them IMO.

And this is exactly why I had to start this journey, when my wife (who also doubled as my running partner) got pregnant I stopped running too and started eating more, it was only when I saw pictures of me holding my daughter at 6 months old did I realise how bad it had got. Now I'm not hot but I blew those 30 lbs away and…

I used gels during my half but as others have said I used them during training runs to assess any negative effect on me, so if you plan to then try them in training first. I sued mine but the half was also giving them out at the half way stage so I tried that one and it was horrible! Lesson learnt! Oh and I second the…

Everyone is talking sense here in that it won't hinder you progress and you will lose weight with junk food but as this ^ guy states it's easier with cleaner food but maybe not if you can't live without a little junk as you'll quite. Bottom line is if you scale is moving in the right direction….. who cares! This is another…

Daughter, amazing

Nice work, that's great NSV. Thanks for sharing

It's all relative to fitness really. I've seen people well over 220 lbs completing 10km and marathon races, if you train but eat a ton you'll be fit but still overweight........ so really it's how far can you run for your current fitness level. And the answer to that is how far you can run now, keep adding to it 0.5k or…

Mental, I'm in training for a ha;f marathon and I only do cardio for 2 hours a WEEK. As many have advised get a more balanced workout and 3 hrs on that machine is fairly pointless IMO

Agree with this entirely, relaionships are about support no matter what the topic IMO

Yep anything from the large American manufacturers, like Bud....... it's basically fizzy piss. As someone has already said the US Microbrewers are excellent though. We make some great Ales in the UK but equally there is some terrible piss brewed. I live in cider country and the same is true of that, Cheddar Valley.......…

I drink about 4 litres a day! God damn that's why I'm so fat (and not the 5,000 cupcakes). From tomorrow I'm switching to Coke and Vodka all day long, I'll be thin in no time

Southwest here, been here a while but always happy to have more supportive and interactive friends! Anyone feel free to add me.

Yep love me a redhead too, there is quite a bit of Ginge in my hair especially my beard

Totally epic! Many people starting out running need to read this and realise it's baby steps to start with but it all comes good in the end, too many try to do too much too fast and get discouraged. This is amazeballs

Everything in moderation is fine IMO, I have a little high quality dark chocolate everyday :)

I drink 4 litres every day and your body gets used to it after a week or so, you then don't have to pee quite so often. That's 136 US fl oz, 0.88 US gal and 7 UK pints

THIS ^^^

Here and open, from the Southwest and always on for support. Anyone feel free to add me, the more the merrier :)

UK here, South West in Somerset. Anyone and Everyone feel free to add me, I'm on here a lot too :)

Nice, fair play to her

This ^^ Sugar is still sugar. Someone once told me that in your "5-a-day" you should be eating 9 veggies and only one fruit as fruit is natures sweetshop. I know this makes 10 as that was the nutritionists point, it should be 10 a day not 5. I was very skeptical of this for many months and carries on ignore MFP going over…

Yep agree with the others, no-one is ever 100% ready and you just have to go for it. Only thing I'd say is definitely 10000% ignore the friends advise to flush the pill or stop talking it, that so dishonest and if it ever came out that could be relationship over (I can see you've already ignored it but just thought I'd…

^^ This! Helped me load on tight hamstrings and IT band. Won't do any of that **** someone else listed IMO, exercise is key.
