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…

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.

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…

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…
