Well I'm in the UK so the qualifications are different. I know the qualifications they do are all done at further education institutes which are state funded, so they're not just mickey mouse certificates. But of course a trainer with only one or two level 1 qualifications doesn't really say much. Here are some of the…

How often do you see him and for how long, sarahrbraun?

Thanks for the answers! They were useful, especially the suggestions of watching the trainer and speaking to current clients. I don't think they're likely to have degrees from ACSM or NSCA as we're in the UK but they all have their qualifications by their biographies...of course the ones with more qualifications are more…

ok thanks I'll check out those programs.

Well done!! Me too!! I took your guys' advice on monday and did day 1 again. Today I meant to do day 2 but I just felt really good after minute 13 I just kept going! It didn't get hard until minute 19...I can't believe it! I think this is the most ive run since school...if you cant tell I'm pretty proud of myself ????
-
I'm not going to quit! I'm just not sure where to go from here. It seems like such a big jump from day 2 to day 3, I think I need some kind of in-between because day 2 was fine. Were you able to do it after repeating the second time? I'm thinking a better idea would be to try running two ten minute blocks, but that's not…

week 3 sucked...I did it like 6 times, and it kept getting harder!! Maybe I was running too fast. I've finally slowed down now I'm on week 5. Also, I wasn't bothering with rest days. I was running every time I went to the gym. Sometimes three days in a row, and the third day would kill me, and then I would punish myself…

Did week 5, day 2 yesterday :) It was easier than w5d1 for me but it was also my slowest run yet. A little nervous about w5d3 tomorrow but I'll go slow and I feel like I can do it.

same here :D

I'm a teacher too, and the school I work at is out in the east of the city and I live in the centre, so a long commute. It sucks. My gym opens at 6 but it's in the opposite direction and I have to leave at 6:30. I get home 5 and then sit down, have a snack, and go out. I usually end up getting home from the gym around 8.…

From London but I ran away to Mexico ;D Probably coming back this summer though :(

I did week 3 twice, I only finally did week 4 for the first time yesterday. Like you I felt like I'd never get passed week 3... I think I was trying to do too much and wasn't bothering with rest days properly. I took three days off and did week 4 yesterday. Maybe try giving yourself a longer break?
-
I completed W4D1 yesterday!! And I struggled through week 3 (did it six times!) so I was nervous about W4. But I did it :D I hope I can do it again haha.
-
I finally completed W4D1 yesterday! Struggled completing week 3...started off easy, then suddenly got hard! Wasn't sure if I could do it but I did so now I know I can. I'm going to the gym again tonight though so I hope I can do it again :/ Does anyone mind if I add you? I'd love some friends who are at a similar stage to…

I live in Mexico (though I'm from the UK) and I think Mexico has now actually overtaken the US in the obesity rankings...there's lots of posters and campaigns strangely not encouraging people to eat healthier, but just reminding us that "7 out of 10 Mexicans are obese". There are markets everywhere and the fruit,…

Some days I go and run and feel like I could run a marathon! Like I can just keep going forever. Yeah, I know, a bad day at the gym is better than nothing :) You never regret going to the gym, you regret eating pizza on the couch. But it just sucks, I build my confidence up and begin to feel proud of how well I've done,…

I'm an E cup so not as big as some of you but on the larger size...I wear two bras, a regular bra with underwire then a sports bra on top. It does the trick.

From London but live in Mexico City.

if you want newer música en español i recommend quiero club and bomba estéreo. quiero club are kind of electronic indie/pop, if you're into more latin-styles maybe you'd like bomba estéreo. like electronic, modern cumbia from colombia. do you like alaska? dark spanish 80s post-punk. good for running. chico trujillo,…

te puedo agregar? no soy mexicana pero vivo en el DF...siempre hay la tentación de tortillas y tacos y todo!

right in front but across the street is a street pizza truck...but it's never open when I'm there :P The whole time I'm on the treadmill I have no choice but to look at it. On the other side (it's on a corner) is a mall with McDonalds and everything but all you see from the gym is the car park.

Haha...you know...I've been looking at my diet charts more carefully, and I think what someone said above about it not logging the sodium is probably correct. I ate macaroni and cheese on Friday and it said it contained 0 sodium and I'm pretty sure that's not correct. So god knows how much sodium I actually am eating. When…
-
Pretty sure there's no danger of me going over 2500mg haha. I'm not sure why my intake is so low. It's not like I'm lacking in other areas. I guess I make almost everything from scratch and don't add salt. Avoid cheese and don't eat meat. can you recommend any healthy foods that I can eat to boost my sodium intake? I…

thanks for the link
-
Yeah it's hard planning ahead though :( My plan when I went out was "no way am I going for food...I'm going STRAIGHT HOME at 2:30am"...I even set an alarm on my phone to remind me to go home haha. Then all my friends left with me and they wanted them. Also I didn't realize how many calories were in beer before I logged…

I'm 25! Looking to lose about 34lbs. Anyone can add me, I don't have many friends on here and would love a busier feed to keep me interested!

Hey...I'm from the UK too but don't live there. About 154lbs. Just started coming on the forum this morning looking for some support! How much do you want to lose?
