  • Hi. There is a website for this scale, its www.escali.com. They have lots of different scales on there:smile:
  • Yes I agree in uk definately different meaning. I wouldn't have the energy if I had run 7 miles.
  • on 29th September you were 106.1 kg. on October 8th you were 105 kg. so in 9 days you lost 1.1 kg. Thats approximately 2.5 lbs. If I lost 2.5 lbs. in 9 days I would be happy. Please don't change what you are doing, it is obviously working. If you weigh on a daily basis your weight will fluctuate, this is the way the body…
  • Hi. I am not quite so heavy but much older than you. I started running at about 180 lbs. I am 58 year old and weigh 163 1bs now. I started in February and still find it hard going. my breathing is awful and I get a soar throat when I run. But I will not give up. I started running 30 seconds in every 5 minutes and can now…
  • If you go to the Exercise page and put in Jog and search for it, at the bottom of the list there is a category called jog/walk, that is how I list mine. It is pretty accurate as I wear a heart rate monitor also and the figures, although do not correspond entirely, are not so off the mark that it cannot be used quite…
  • Hi. This is a personal choice problem. I like forcing myself out of bed in the mornings to take the dog for a run on the beach. We do interval running, i.e. 2 minutes running 2.5 minutes walking for 1 hour then walk for 1 hour. So 2 hours down the line and we return home to our breakfast and the rest of the day. Due to…
  • I do the c210k. I have been doing this for several months now, but not progressing too well.:ohwell: My shins did hurt to begin with, but this soon eased up.:smile: I then had a groin strain which took a few weeks to repair.:sad: I run 3 times a week, and have yet to get the euphoric feeling some people get.:grumble: I…
  • I got caught by this one and got the free trial, the pro cleanse gold was ok when I asked to unsubscribe before the trial period was finished. But the other one has charged me just a few days after the trial began and I cannot find any of their numbers that work, so I am unable to reclaim the money back and hopefully they…
  • Dieting is one of the most difficult things to do. If it was easy there would be no overweight people. I find that you have to have the right mental attitude at the time you start your diet because once you get going, seeing your pounds/kgs come off motivates you to keep going. If you are not ready in your mind then it…
  • Hi from sunny Clacton on Sea. Its a good site. I kept in touch with it whilst in Florida for 1 month recently and managed to keep my weight stable despite all the temptations. So believe me if I can do it anybody can. good luck
  • I started seriously walking in January with my dog and she also found it difficult at first. She is 8 years old and quite fit but not used to such long walks, 30 minutes was what she was used to but in January I started doing 4 miles a day which took about 75 minutes. We have just come back from an 8 mile walk which took…
  • I know people will say you should not weigh yourself every day, but I still do and that is probably why you see a weight gain. I regularly put on 1 or 2 lbs, but if I wait a couple of days those gained pounds disappear and I usually loose a pound or two on top, so don't give up just give it time. Also if you are exercising…
  • Hi. I have just checked trampolining on another site I use and it is 70 cals per 15 minutes. Hope this helps. Laura:happy:
  • Hi. I have an 8 year old Italian Spinone. She is a big ginger dog with large floppy ears and helps me with my walks and runs. It is not so lonely when you have a dog to take you for a walk. She is by breed a gun dog although I have a menagerie of ducks and geese and my dog lays down on the grass to have a nice massage from…
  • Hi. C25K means couch to 5 kilometers in a given time, i think it is 10 weeks. I am doing C210K which is a programme to get you running 10 kilometers in 13 weeks. I am struggling a little with this and do not increase my time at the pace the programme wants, so tend to repeat each week twice and sometimes 3 times, so this…
    in C25K? Comment by granmalaura April 2010
  • Hi. Like you I am exercising a lot, not in the gym but outside. So far in March I have logged 129 miles either walking or running. I am not a good runner and am doing a couch to 10K program. This program runs for 13 weeks, but I find the running dfficult and struggle to move on each week to the next level and find I am…
  • Hi. I have two apps on my Iphone. The first one I tried is walkmeter which I used at first but it kept losing the gps signal (but I believe a couple of updates later it has improved). The main one I use is RunKeeper . You can shut the phone down whilst using these apps and they run in the background giving you updates…
