  • really great to see such achievement and wonderful to read what you did to get to where you are. But what was the ultimate factor that made you 'get up & go'? what motivated you to keep going? Sorry if it may come across Im asking personal questions, I know I deviated a while back and then put all the pounds on and I am…
  • wow that is super cool outcome You look Fab!!! Can i ask how long it has taken you to lose that many pounds? Did you mainly adjust your diet or combination of exercise? Thanks
  • oh elliecolorado has answered the question. thanks
  • Thanks for input: Now i will ask another question: whats a HRM??? What does it stand for. Sounds like a good device to have when training if it tracks calories: will look into it..... Thanks :smile:

  • Your breathing will get better the more workout you do when running or jogging. It does take time, but when you do find short of breath slow down and to catch your breath back. In time your breathing techniques will get better. When I started off I would be so out of breath that it was embarrassing. By building up the pace…

  • OMG.....you are soooo not crazy because if you are then so am i......I was talking to my colleagues about this issue during lunch time.....Like you I have changed eating habits and started more exercise and suddenly my sleep is affected. Never ever have i had an issue with sleep: I have 2 year old son and having a child…
  • Great post/thread - Im tagging on because i have started running since Janury and find it difficult to meet with like minded people who love to run....I couldnt run at all at first but gradually built it up....I still think I have a long way to go but Im patient and like to buid speed up gradually....interval training is…
  • Like yourself I weigh myself every day: in the morning before breakfast and then again at night before bed. My husband thinks the same abot being obsessed: but I agree its a motivator for me, because soon as i see a possible gain coming I will start thinking about how to retrieve myself via workout sessions and what i…
  • Hey I'm tagging to this as I feel there are many invaluable information shared which is useful to me. I've always known the importance of strength and weight training but for some reason that treadmill will pull me in to carry out that run. I love the feeling of adrenalin after good cardio session which is why I easily…
  • Brilliant advise guys, thanks loads. It's great to hear from people who can give support and motivate you. I shall defo continue with exercise but mainly using weights, mats and perhaps yoga. Bring in the variation! :heart:
  • bump needed this piece of information - it makes sense aout how our body is much advance than we think....now that Im thinking about it, of course it will do what it can to survive: it makes sense! I have read soo much into this and so far this is clear and concise explanantion of the human body in relation to fitness and…
  • Goal is to lose 5lb this month. But also to be able to increase the level of intensity on the running machine by at at least 5 notches.
  • definately dont give up yet...... some encouraging words from everyone but i'm very much in agreement with 'fteale' comments'. I found I wasnt losing weight as fast as i should have compared to others because in my view i was exercising harder and eating better: I suppose all our bodies are different, so perhaps as…
  • Like yourself I enjoy running (as discovered recently) and I found whenever i made plans to do any strength work i would hold back and end up doing light running too. But what motivated me to do strength/resistence workout was the Wii Active Personal Coach. I found using this game made strength work enjoyable. There are…
