Change of portion size can cause stomach acid problems?
Hello, I've change my portion size and mealtimes. Before the summer I would eat three large meals a day, plus snack in between (and gained 10kg in one year). So now it's time to take it off again; for the last eight weeks I've been eating two smaller meals a day and fewer snacks. I'm going to start jogging soon too. I've…

knee/muscle pains
I started doing podrunner couch-to-5k beginning of August. At the beginning I was suffering badly from shin splits without actually knowing what it was. When I found out (courtesy of this forum), I managed to stop it somewhat changing the way I was stretching. So for the last two weeks of August I was doing podrunner…

lost 4.4kg (out of 12kg), but not changing shape
I changed my diet mid-July, and started exercising beginning of August. I needed to lose 12kg, and have lost 4.4kg (almost 10lbs) so far, going from 82kg to 77.6kg. So I'm supposedly over a third of the way to my goal weight. However, apart from losing a little fat from my face and chin, and gaining a little muscle in the…

Some personal success tonight

I've been doing static bike for 3 weeks as well as couch-to-5k podrunner intervals (this was my first day on week 2), and was cheesed off because hadn't lost any weight, despite all the discomfort and pain I was putting myself through. I…

just started, but not losing weight
I haven't done any exercise for nine years. Nothing. I need to lose 12kg (82 -> 70kg), so I've started static bike and 'couch to 5k' intervals, as well as eating healthier and a bit less. In the last week and a half I've done 5 hours on the bike (100km at 20km/h, the bike says that's 1500cals burned). I've also done 2…

podrunner C25K: distances?
I did the 'week 1' session yesterday for the first time. The mp3 track lasted for 30 minutes. I did just over 2.5 kilometres in that time. Was I supposed to have covered more distance than that? Since everyone's stride is different, how do I know that at week 10 I'm going to cover 5km? Anyone know? 'Distance' doesn't seem…

I hate exercise
I've just turned 40 and need to lose 12kilos (26pounds) going from 82kg -> 70kg The problem is that I hate physical activity. Fifteen years ago I weighed about 66kg and did a lot of cycling, swimming and hiking. Cycling was my means of transport in the city, and it was a thrill to dodge in and out of cars through all sorts…
