Running...is so much inconsistency normal?
Looking for a bit of reassurance from some experienced runners with many miles to their name. I started running in late February this year. Instantly fell in love with it. On 12th April, I managed my first full mile, and by 21st April I'd worked up to two. Did my first 5k on 30th April. Got ill not long later, and had to…

30DS - How Long Does It Last?
30 days, I know... I bought the 30DS DVD back in November 2010, when I started all this. My plan was to store it away, and just work on getting my weight down until I was 10lbs from my goal, and then bring it out and use it to kick-start my toning efforts. My plan's recently changed, I'm working on toning alongside weight…

UK Manual Treadmill Recommendations
I know, I know. Manual treadmills are the work of the devil. That aside, can anyone recommend one that can be purchased in the UK and is slightly less...evil? I'm starting to think forward to winter, having recently booked my first 2013 race. This will be my first winter as a runner, and I'm going to try and get out as…

Help Me Understand a 'Can't Do' Attitude?
I'm aware this may come across as arrogant, that's obviously not what I'm aiming for. I need help understanding a 'can't do' attitude, and what support I can offer. I've always been a pro-active, can-do person. I have very high self-esteem and self-worth, I'm totally happy with my life and I consider myself very…

UK Based Runners and Walkers - Hope Relay
Not sure if this has already been posted, I've only just found it today and it appears to be new! The Samsung Hope Relay. It's an Android app that tracks your run or your walk. For every mile you travel, Samsung have agreed to donate £1 to charity. You create a little avatar using your own face, start the tracker and off…

Return of the pregnancy belly...anyone else?
Right. Started off at 174lbs in November 2010. Have been slowly losing since then. 20/21lbs down now. Went from having a obviously very fat stomach to one that looked much flatter. Started running fairly recently. For the past two weeks, that stomach has been back. I've gone back to having a round belly that looks…

Better Sleep - There's An App For That?
Life is busy. I work long hours, and I don't sleep well. It used to be that because my fiance is such a light sleeper he'd wake multiple times a night and would wake me up. Now, I think I'm past that. I sleep for a good amount of time and don't wake during the night, but it's not quality sleep. I have weird, very vivid…

GPS Tracker Apps Advice
I'm getting a new phone tomorrow. I've been using Endomondo to track all my workouts for a few years now. Though my new phone is much better than my current one, I can't find much/any evidence that Endomondo is available for it. It's not listed on Endomondo's website or on the app store. I'm holding out hope, but won't be…

Any retro gamers?
Decided to go off-topic for a bit. Don't do this often. Anyone here collect/play retro games? I collect Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis. Have been for about four years now, slowly. I now have 50 out of 531 Mega Drive games, and 19 out of 268 Master System. Fiancé took me out today to a retro game shop he found online.…

20lbs Down - 5ft 1.8in
I wasn't going to post a 'success story' type picture until I reached my goal weight, but I've seen a lot of 'short person' posts since I joined MFP. These are posts about how a few pounds look on a small body, and how hard it is to lose weight when you're short. I see a lot of other short people saying they can't picture…

Lighthearted Thread - Runaway Food
So, I've just finished my evening meal, and it occurred to me to ask...is there an easier way to eat peas? I wonder if I've been missing something obvious for years. It's not that I don't appreciate the extra calories burned picking the little green bundles of fun off the floor after my meal, but when I carefully measure…

Pulse Sonic HRM
Hello! Looking to see if anyone has their views on the following HRM: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pulse-Sonic-K920D-Heart-Monitor/dp/B005560PU4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I've been noticing how much they're talked about here on MFP, and was wondering if it would be worth me getting one considering I was doing alright without it.…

So confused by a lot of people on here...
I'm fairly new to MFP, and I KNOW this has probably come up many times before, but I'm SO confused by people on this forum. As far as I see it, every single one of us is different. I've been doing this for 15 months, I know what works for me, and I'm sure many others can say the same. Yet, on almost every thread if someone…

Snacks that can sit around for weeks.
Hi all! Looking for some ideas. Just throw them at me. I've recently taken up cycling. Just a couple of miles a day, so far, but this is on top of the walking I usually do to and from the office. I work full-time, and I'm self-employed, so I lead a hectic schedule. I'm a pretty picky eater, and my fiance's even worse. He…

New Here
Hi everyone. Just signed up, thought I'd have a look around the message boards. Have been living a healthy lifestyle since November 2010. Many years to make up for! Started at 174lbs, lost 19lbs and then gained some back. Now on a total of 11.8lbs lost from November 2010 until now. There's more detail on my profile, but…
