  • Hello! I had all these concerned when I started running (and still do on occasion) and I just want to say congratulations on deciding to start; it is a bit daunting, but you'll get there (: You don't need a bunch of fancy gear to begin with, just a loose, comfortable t-shirt and some shorts or leggings. Trainers can be…

  • Hi and welcome! This community is really good and supportive - I'll follow you as a friend on here so I can give some encouragement longer term if you like! The best thing is that you've decided to do this for your health, and that you've had the confidence not only to start but also to join this website and post; most…
  • Mocha frappochino light has less than 100, I believe! Skinny chai tea latte is great too <3

  • Good idea on the stock cooking! As a student, I find it pretty easy to cook every 3 days and then when I have a bad day I don't have to come home and cook. Frozen meals are pretty convenient too - although they are expensive Innocent Veg pots are really good, and you can always just flash grill some chicken or pork to go…
  • Definitely have a little bit of what you like, and eat it slowly! I'm the same, and I've realised that if what I really want s chocolate then it's stupid to eat low fat yoghurt - I'll eat the yoghurt but then I'll still be thinking about chocolate and might end up eating that as well :P Thinking 'I shouldn't' will only…
  • That's great :D You should be super proud - keep it up!
  • Woo! That's awesome :D I did my first run/walk 5K in 35.25 yesterday, which I know is pretty slow but I'm aiming to do a 5K in around about 30mins when I have built up my endurance a little more. Got a question for everyone, too - my calorie goal for each day is 1,200; if I burn 600 at the gym am I supposed to go up to…
  • Congratulations :D
  • Yay! Thanks for all your responses - it's so nice to see so many people working hard :D I've just done work-out 2 of the 5 week one, and tackled the 8min intervals with no problems in the gym. I'll probably run it a couple more times before moving up to week 6 with 12min intervals. I'm off to Montreal in a few weeks time,…
  • Sounds pretty normal to me! I don't think you need to worry - one of my boyfriend's friends is crazy about that type (: I basically look like Brienne from Game of Thrones; tall and broad with not much up top. Really long skinny legs and a chunky torso. I'm hoping that losing a bit of weight and carrying on with my running…
