Tracking Distance
I have been off the exercise wagon for a long while now... :-( A friend has asked me to do a 10K run with her... NEVER done that before and only ever walked a 5K! Although I used to do 5K on the treadmill at the gym often. I know, this is very different. Now I'd like to try for the 10K (15th July) and know that I need to…

So how important is exercise REALLY?!
I think I need to start by saying MFP ROCKS! *Little Head-Banging Dude goes here! I've been around for about 15 months. Lost 27ish kilos watching what I ate and after the first few months exercising - even started road running. ANYBODY who knows me would be amazed! My boss asked me if he could feel my tummy - some of you…

Weighing Scales
This never used to concern me but... My scales are not as accurate as they used to be - or I'm just ultra aware! Set to 0. I get on and weigh... 69.7kg this morning Set to 0. Then I do a false reading, just put my foot on it. Set to 0. Get on and weight... 68.5kg. (I didn't bother to do the whole cycle again!) Now I know…

Somewhat of a success story and needing a good kick!
I'm a FP success story... Well more like a chapter book really and there has been a big break between chapters! Didn't log on for at least 3 months and figured that friends I'd made from before had probably long since moved on so I've deleted them. No insults intended! (Made many of them through challenges etc...) I lost a…

Any last minute tips please...
I've signed up to do a 5K run TOMORROW... On the treadmill, incline 1 it takes me 37 minutes. (My boss tells me that a decent time for a 5K is 30 minutes on the open road!!! I guess I will be lying to him on Monday!) I have a phone that I can play music through. Today I went and bought: *A Polar 7 *Hip belt thingy for my…

Calories in a Flat White from Costa
Apologies for posting about coffee AGAIN! Posted before and muddled my coffees - I know, 'How could I?!' :tongue: I've looked everywhere for calories in a flat white but even the Costa website seems to tell you how many calories in the 'extras' that you add, nothing about what's in the coffee itself. Thanks for the help.

Costa Americano Coffee
Have had Greggs coffee in the past and choked on the calorie count afterwards! (As far as I remember about 180 for a single cup!!!) Today I had 2 Costa Americano medium cups and was sure that I was going to regret it so... I walked the 3 miles home with my bags!!! Just tried to log it and went for the large because the…

Hi Everyone!
I'd love to hear about other people's relationship with the open road... Mine is a very short one and has taken MONTHS to get almost there! I'm a non-runner!!! Don't get they hype about the endorphins - guess it's because I haven't run far enough EVER! (I think that I'm on my way to somewhere though, just not sure where…

Family 'challenge' help me decide please!!! (Or perhaps I ne
Before I start... Assumption: % loss would be calculated by... x/starting weight where x = total mass lost I've been on a weight loss 'thing' since the end of August (with a few slices of gammon and a sip or two of wine and one or two nibbles of pavlova... ... ...) and am really enjoying it. I've kept MFP a 'secret' from…

Increased water intake does NOT make you lose weight...
:drinker: ...It's the continuous up and down the stairs to the loo that really does it!!! :tongue:
