Hi, complete newbie, week 1 of c25k so not sure of total. Will need kicking up the proverbial to make sure I'm doing it.

I've just come back from my best ever holiday - a three week trip across the USA. Started in New York City and ended up in Los Angeles. It was beyond wonderful - what a fabulous country. We visited 17 of the states and now I have an ambition to visit all the rest!

I'm on day three today, and have just realised that I didnt measure myself when I started. I'll have to do that when I get home tonight. BTW - are you supposed to do the 30DS every day or every other day? I have heard conflicting reports and wondered what everyone else thought.

I find either Quaker Morning Oats or Alpen Porridge fills me up nicely till lunchtime. I especially like the Alpen Apple & Raspberry which is the only porridge I have ever been able to eat!

Hi FR sent, anyone else please feel free to send me a request. I need some serious *kitten* kicking at the moment to keep me on track!

I must be a right heifer because that has never ever happened to me. I think if it ever did, I would turn round to see who they were shouting at.

That is amazing, well done. My C25K attempt withered at week 2, now I am inspired to go out and try again. At least in this weather, no one will be out to see me and laugh and point like they did before.

Please feel free to add me - I can do with some serious motivation myself!

Wood, specifically rough (not varnished) wood. The thought of it makes me feel sick. I bless the person who invented non-wooden kitchen spoons and spatulas :-D

I totally hear you! Feel free to add me, I need the odd boot up the backside to keep me motivated too!

Hi I'm from UK - feel free to add me.

This is why I dont date!! I tried online dating, but the only people I met were either planning our wedding after the first date or backed off so quickly they vanished before my eyes.

Bill Bailey's "Who Stole The Leg Of Time" (it was Terry).

I dont think that chilly weather will deter me, but at the moment I can only run in the dark! Otherwise people laugh and point at me (I'm not being paranoid, even my daughter saw them do it!). Hopefully by the time it gets light again I wont be such a lumpen scarlet sweating mass and people will stop laughing as I lumber…

Well done, thats brilliant!

I have always had this problem. Evans do some nice boots but they are too wide in the foot for me - I'm such a freak with my massive calves and skinny feet! However, New Look do some wider calf knee high boots, I got some from there that were so good I went back for more. I got a flat pair for work and a gorgeous pair of…

Oh dear, I didnt realise I wasnt allowed to use the handles on the treadmill. I hold on to the handles because otherwise I fall over as my sense of balance is not too good. Anyway, isnt it better to do any exercise rather than none?

See if your doc will get you referred to the podiatrist and get some insoles made for you. I never looked back once I had these. And I also found stretches helpful for PF.

Good luck Sophie, You'll soon find that there is an amazing amount of support on here from your MFPals. I would not have lost my 20lbs without my lovely pals! Fell free to add me if you need support!

Welcome, and good luck!

Hi! I'm from North Lincs, feel free to add me.

Hi, I'll follow you! My account is @LottyHen, but its not a weight loss account, just my personal one.

Hi! I can really empathise as I have had Plantaar Fasciitis for several years. I had the steriod injections which were pointless - a lot of pain for very little relief! But I found stretches to be the best solution. I do this: Stand on the bottom stair as if you are going upstairs, with the back half of your foot off the…

Hi, you're the same height and starting weight as me! 150 is my goal too - according to my BMI calculator I will stop being overweight at 155. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

Hi, Feel free to add me as a friend - I know what you mean about the support that is on here, I wouldnt have got half so far if I didnt have all my pals cheering me on (and sometimes giving me a well deserved kick up the behind!!)

I prefer running outside, but as yet too many people laugh and point. At least in the gym I can run without causing endless amusement for other people. As I beome less cumbersome and clumsy, perhaps running outside will become more of an option!

Good luck! Fell free to add me as a friend if you need support. I have managed to lose 21lbs so far, but I honestly would not have done that well without the love and support I get from my pals.
