running nsv
I have always wanted to be a runner. always. when I see people running, even on tv or in films, always feel envious. I want to be the sort of person who jumps out of bed in the morning and goes for a run. but, though I've made many attempts I have never had the stamina. best I could do was on the treadmill, but couldn't…

c25k question
so, I completed run 2 of week 6 today. I've read comments from others that at around this stage they've been finding the walking intervals an annoyance. this is not the case with me and, in fact, I was very glad of the walking interval today. so my question is, should I repeat week 6 and hope I get to this point next week…

brilliant nsv (well I think so)
my oldest son has unfortunately inherited his mothers fat gene and his story is very likely familiar to many people here. although he and his brothers ate the same food and took part in the same activities growing up, they were 'normal' weight while he was always the chubby kid. and he's gone from being a chubby kid to an…

I used to run on the treadmill at my old gym and really enjoyed it, but my previous…

little nsv I'd like to share
was browsing in Next with no intention of buying as I haven't lost enough yet, when I found a gorgeous fitted dress, a style I would never have considered in the past. My husband persuaded me to try it on and, feeling brave, I lifted a size 14 (that's a UK 14 - US size 10) a size smaller than I usually wear. Not only did…

why have I stopped losing weight
I started my weight loss on 4 July with a starting weight of 155 pounds. On 4 August I reached 148 pounds, but haven't lossed anything since. I haven't changed my eating or exercise habits and I don't understand why the weight is no longer coming off. I know that weight loss does eventually slow down, but I still have a…

hi another newbie
Hi, I've just started using mfp this week. My weight has gradually crept up in the last 10 years while I have gone on half hearted diets losing nothing more than a few pounds and giving up when I dont get a quick fix. I came back off holidays last month weighing in at my heaviest ever and decided I need to take real action…
