Runners, physios, someone- please help.
I completed C25K some weeks ago and have gone onto Bridge to 10k. I can't run for more than half an hour without my piriformis seizing suddenly and viciously on both sides: what do I do? For the first time I had to abandon a run tonight and it's given me the blues like you wouldn't believe. Is it that my form is wrong or…

NSV!!! Well, sort of.
Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that through my running regimen I have discovered my piriform muscle. Whose bloody daft idea was it to put that there? Oh lord have mercy upon the least of your servants, have I ever discovered it. Ow ow ow ow. What a curiously disproportionate discomfort it causes when it goes just…

C25K: Rejoice with me!
Week 9, Day 1: 30 min run. 5k. Done. Nine weeks ago I was dizzy and sick and praying for a quick, merciful death after a few repetitions of one minute running. Tonight I went a touch beyond 5k in my alloted time. My knees are killing me, I feel a little sick in a strange and not altogether unpleasant way, I stink and I…

NSV :) NSD :|
So I've lost weight. That's lovely. 65lb total, 26 of those with MFP. And six whole inches off my waist, I discovered this week. I'm getting married next week and my ring no longer fits; falls right off. I'm not a Z anymore (US size 12.5). Tungsten cannot be resized. Victim of my own success! Scramble for a new ring begins…

Graduated C25K :')
Whilst not as jubilant as my last post on the matter (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/361658-c25k-rejoice-with-me) I am pretty damned happy about this. I've run the last three runs of 30 minutes and hit a little over 5k in each one. <nag> If you're thinking of starting C25K, start. Today, if you can. If you're…

Gah, it's 23:10, I haven't eaten nearly enough and I want to
I mean, I'm REALLY coming up short for today. 898 calories short (504 of those are exercise cals). Lord alone knows how, I'm not hungry, I've eaten 18 things over 3 meals and had two snacks, I'm over on my protein and Vit C. What I'm gonna do, since it's just a one-off is have a nibble and go to bed. I mean, if I went over…

Please, need support/ advice.
OK, seems that I'm at a sticking point. I have lost a massive ONE POUND in two weeks. My MFP goals are geared for me to lose 2lb per week. So a huge disappointment after some really encouraging early results. The whole muscle/fat thing (which is a bit of a fallacy anyway, btw) I don't think applies as my measurements…

My first (minor) NSV.
I never thought much of NSVs until I got my first one. It's not much, but when I dig my fingers into my prosperous belly flab after a run I can feel the division, a definite and hard line, between what might one day be abs (ha!) and that sheet of oblique muscle other people have. OK, it will be quite some time before I can…

Will I plateau? When?
Please don't shout at me: I did search the term but all I could really find were people asking about how to break a plateau among the twenty kajillion (yes it's a real number) posts on the subject. I confess I couldn't be bothered reading absolutely all of them. I crashed from about 259 to 220. Obviously that can't be…

Please, someone talk some sense into me?
I just realised that at 1lb per week it's gonna take just over a year to get where I want to be. Dunno WHY I just realised this, it's about as basic as arithmetic gets. It just feels too big, y'know? Wish I had one of those American drill seargants to scream at me, Platoon style. :( Anyone got some straight talk for a…

Hello!
In April I weighed 259lb (18.5 stones, 117kg in the new money). In 37.5 years I never did a thing- no exercise, no attention to diet, nothing. I like food like some people like soap operas: a couple of times a day, easy to get into and lasting for at least half an hour. Exercise was a closed book: opening that book would…
