What keeps you motivated during a run?
My past couple of runs outside have been very difficult to finish, and the last one today I gave up with 10 minutes to go. :'( I usually run for 30 minutes and do a distance of between 3.82 and 4 miles in this time. But for some reason the past few runs, I just had to give up or (as ridiculous as it sounds) tell myself…

What do you eat to stop yourself from starving between meals at offices?
I started an office job a couple of months ago and finding it difficult to eat appropriately. I'm always starving and my stomach is so loud when I am hungry, it is hard to ignore and embarrassing. So I am just wondering what other people are eating between meals on here. I work in an office and I have breakfast before I go…

Insanity - when did you see inches or weight loss?
I've been doing insanity for two weeks and I don't seem to have lost any inches or weight (I think my scale isn't reliable), I thought I would at least see an inch off by now. I'm wondering if I should start running also at the same time. When did everyone else start to see a change?

How much jumping is there in Insanity 'recovery week'?
I just started Insanity again, I never finished past the first month before, so never got to the recovery week stage and don't know what it's like. At my current plan, I should be doing the recovery week exercises over Christmas, which is when I will be staying at my parent's house. Understandably, they get a bit annoyed…

Implant fitted 2 Months Ago - Struggling to lose weight and gaining a lot?!
Hi, I'm wondering if any one has had any experience of dieting and trying to lose weight after just having the implant fitted or while using it? (The Implant is a contraceptive that is fitted into your arm.) I had it fitted in January, and since then I seem to have gained over 10 lbs, despite eating within or only just…

Does anyone else get weird messages from MFP users?
Just wondering if this happens to other people... I'm not sure what it is. I'm not friends with them, these people seem genuine, they have 200 friends or something and their profile picture is always model like. It always happens after I post something on the forum. One time it was just: "Hi, what height are you?" and…

Mild cramps after exercising?
Does anyone else get lower back/stomach cramps after exercising? I kind of feel like I am going to throw up after running - that's when it's the worst cramps. I thought maybe it was to do with the time when I eat food and exercise. Usually I have some granola with yoghurt and a cup of coffee, then drink lots of water. I…

Is it possible to get toned without going to the gym?
Hi, sorry if this ends up being a stupid question or one that's already been answered... I just wanted clarification that some of the exercises I am doing may help me. ___________ Background: I'm a student so I don't want to buy a gym membership. I also travel a lot, sometimes I live with my parents, sometimes in London at…

Lost Weight - at 130/120 lbs - Belly Button?
So I have noticed that just above my belly button there is a small inward dent that's appeared. It's about as big as the tip of my little finger. Does anyone else have this? I've never had it before because I've never been this skinny in my life. But it just seemed so weird when I first noticed it!

Find your twin!
I saw this a while ago in another topic and thought it was a great idea. I think I only found one other person and have since then lost them somehow... So let's try it again! The idea is to find someone with the same stats as you, a twin, and then add them as a friend and motivate each other! So, just fill this in with…

What do you like to work out to?
Music? TV? I use my exercise bike in my room a lot, so I used to read books from my reading list or just watch episodes of Sex and the City whilst cycling! What helps you? I find by watching something I become less distracted to look at my progress on the bike and can go for 30 minutes, just concentrating on the screen and…

Favourite youtube workouts? Share!
I love following work outs on youtube and right now my favourite youtube fitness channel is 'Tone It Up'. They did a really great work out for Self magazine here: http://youtu.be/Zq1g84wLbQY And whenever I do it I always end up sweating loads and collapsing out of breath, it really works you out hard! So I was wondering if…

Confidence to start running in public?
Did anyone else feel worried or embarrassed to start running in public? I have recently bought some nice fitness clothes to go running in but it's just a case of starting. I would love to start but don't feel very confident! I'm worried about being stared at or wolf-whistled etc? I live in central London and the other day…

C25K - Difficult for beginner?
I have just finished my first day of C25K. I managed about 15 minutes of the podcast before giving up. It wasn't a tired or bored thing, I developed a really bad headache and thought I might collapse! Did anyone else have trouble completing a day when they first started? I feel a bit like a failure! It's supposed to be…
