  • I've just started looking into the C25K program today, and have set a start date for about 2 weeks away. (I have a minor ankle injury that should be right to go by then.)

  • Hi all - new to this group. I also have a bad back and a physio suggested the following. Lie on your stomach on the floor. Then pulling your navel towards your back try to get your belly off the floor. Hold it for a few seconds then relax. Rinse and repeat.

  • I'm no expert but here's my 2 cents: You talked about exercising so I'd say you have been losing fat and building muscle (which weighs more than fat and is more compact). So even though you're a weeny bit heavier you have less fat and more muscle than you did at the first measurement.

  • Not being able to plan the evening meal is a problem for you, I agree. But if you get familiar with the calorie content of the foods your family eats you will at least be able to work out HOW MUCH to eat of the things on offer. If it's a high-cal meal eat just a little and have some low cal snacks, like fruit, to fill up…

  • For me walking does the trick - it boosts the cals you can consume and you don't have to scrimp on food. I try to walk at least 5 kms a day which takes about an hour and gives me about 250 extra cals. But for those days when I'm sailing close to the wind I have a couple of low cal meals. A garden salad with a 2 egg…
