You sound just like me! :)

I work from 2pm to 7.30pm on weekdays, I used to go in the morning (morning for me is about 11.30 am) :P but now that the weather is getting warming (in australia) I'm stating to go straight after work, even though its dark and a bit scary, I find the heat really messes with my ability to finish my run as i need to keep…

3rd of November was graduation day for me.... and i still can't actually believe I finished it! At the moment I'm continuing to do the '30 min run' every second day to try and increase my speed and consistency. I think eventually I'll go for round 2 and try and do the intervals at a higher intensity. but at the moment i'm…

Definitely Cardio Power and Resistance love working the backs of my arms ...because they need it :)

Drums (kit) for 16 years, and vocals too Also teach children drums, vocals and how to play in bands

i just find i get really stressed/anxious if i'm in a situation that will require me to try new food, or eat something i don't like. As I really don't like making a big fuss about what i don't eat. I guess i don't like people around me knowing i'm a fussy eater, Ive always hid it quite well. I also worry that people will…

I'm not as bad as I used to be.... as a kid i would only eat meat and mashed potato :| most foods I don't eat are based on texture, basically anything slimy makes me gag so, tomatoes, most fruits (except apples). stuff like mussels & oysters etc, mayonnaise (as most condiments)....and other stuff i can't think of right…

Hi, I'm in the recovery week of my first time doing insanity. Really liking it so far.... slowly getting better....some days :) month 2 looks a little scary though, but i'll get there.

Same as above, but on Fridays (so I have a whole week to work off any weekend gain) I used to weigh in on monday but I found it made me try to be really strict on the weekend so as not to gain, which took the fun out of the weekends and made me feel like i was on a diet rather than a lifestyle change.

It definately works. I like the talking app because when I feel like I can't go any further he (I use the male voice) reminds me that there's not much longer to go, which I find helps me feel stronger and not give up. But I can see how people may find the voice annoying. I don't think it matters if you use the app or a…

I agree. I try not to cut anything out completely unless i'm never going to eat it again. I love bread and carbs all together. So I just have a strict limit to what bread i can eat each day. Up to 2 slices of bread usually for breakfast, then I supplement other meals i would normally have bread with like lunch with…

I made this the other week and it was great. the first ever pot roast i've made http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/coffee_braised_pot_roast_with_caramelized_onions.html

The Simpsons is the first thing to spring to mind, the obvious choice but i don't know one person of my generation that can't recite Simpson quotes word for word :)

I'm 2 weeks in, about to do my second fit test :)

I love hearing peoples baby name choices, and thinking of my own, thought i don't plan of having kids any time soon, and will probably change my mind many times I like Boy: Frederick, Strummer or Fox Girl: Elora or Ajda (name of a friend) the 'J' is pronounced like the it is in French like J'Adore kind of like "a-sh-da"…

I usually do my work out after midnight be cause i work in the afternoon/evening I do the same as you and log it as part of the same day with the day not ending until i go to sleep.

bump I'm also a diet coke drinker, i'm having one right now.... was wondering about its effects recently too

I'm on week 7 now, when I got up to week 5 i thought "there's no way I can do that!" my best advise is to just trust the program, a lot of people say to repeat weeks if you don't feel ready, but i think if i did that i'd never feel ready so I just try my hardest to do what the program is saying I can do. and shockingly I…

bump, I'm looking to get one too, can't choose between the Polar FT4, FT7 or FT60 interested to see what people say.

These things are my favourites! also the weight watchers double chocolate pudding, with a little cadbury light vanilla ice-cream.

When were you thinking of starting? I'm planning on doing the first fit test tonight :)

Thank you! Nice comments make posting pictures less scary :) 30 Day Shred is a work out DVD by Jillian Michaels, its basically a 20 minute work out every day for 30 days, It depends where you're from but its available online and in shops like Target (i'm in australia, but I've seen people say the got it in walmart in the…

I don't have a HRM but i looked on line and it said somewhere between 200 and 250 so i used that...and generally tried to underestimate. just to be safe.

I love it, This is the second time that I've done it and i find it really helpful for getting back in to everyday workouts, which isn't something I've been good at in the past.

Thanks :) I wish the pictures weren't so big! I've resized them to a tiny size on photobucket, but its not making them any smaller :(

Really great replies everyone, I love reading what everyone put up!

Bump Today is my last day of 30DS and i'm looking for something to move on to. Ive borrowed Insanity but don't really know what the program is. But i think I might try it next as I'm finally sick of Jillian, after using her DVDs pretty much exclusively for a long time.

Hi I'm starting week 6 tomorrow, found the first weeks really tough but am starting to get into it now. can definitely feel an improvement in fitness and my general ability to breathe and run at the same time, which i used to think was impossible. feel free to add me. B

amazing!! well done.

I love it I'm up to level 3 of my second time round. I've been putting progress pics up on my blog http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/drblythe
