10k charity run
I'm running or at least jogging the Coalville 10k on October 6th to raise money for brain cancer research. http://myprojects.cancerresearchuk.org/fundraise/fundraising-pages/dancody I think it's still going to be a struggle but I've got 6 weeks to train for it.

NSV - commitment
Been a bit tired this week as I did a 2 day self defence course, bruised chest, sprained toe, but I've still managed 5 miles jogging a day and upped the speed from 5 to 5.5 mph (5.6 today).

Over emotional since losing weight
Since losing weight I've been a lot happier which is good but when I hit a milestone or achieve something I feel happy but also on the verge of tears. I've just completed a 2 day self-defence course run by by friend John Skillen which I just about had the fitness to get through, felt emotional at the end, met a lot of…

NSV - self defence course
Went on the first day of a two day self defence course today run my friend John Skillen who owns the gym where I workout. We were there from 9:30 to 5:00, feeling good apart from a slightly bruised chest. John asked me to stand in the middle of the circle of guys and told them I'd lost 4st (56 lb) and jogged 96 minutes a…

Body Fat not changing?
Weigh in day today and I've lost 2 lbs / 1.1 kg. but my body fat is the same as last week - 30.1%? I decided to check what my body fat was when I first measured and it was 32.6% 29/02/12 - 285 lbs / 129.3kg / 32.6% 15/06/12 - 253 lbs / 114.8 kg / 30.1% That doesn't seem at lot compared to the weight lost.

I went out last night in a shirt that doesn't have a X on the label. :smile:
-
6 lbs / 2.5 Kg heavier than last week
Not sure how this can be? I did go out last night and had a few drinks and a takeaway, I have also switched from walking to running so can't do it for as long so less calories burnt. Body fat is down 0.8% but it can't all be muscle either. The scale wasn't very level the last 2 weeks before today so I guess it could have…

NSV - second time this week
Got interupted on the treadmill again...by someone who wanted to tell me what a good job I'm doing.
-
NSV - Good start to the week
I was in the gym on the treadmill and a guy came up to me and said you don't know me but I've been really impressed with your progress since I saw you walk in to the gym. The thing is I can only remember seeing him the last 4 or 5 weeks.

I got a round of applause from the guys training in the gym after I told the owner how much I'd lost in the last 2 weeks and overall and when told them. :blushing:

Treadmill calories help
This week I've been started walking on the treadmill after a long time doing elipitcal on the treadmill is lot harder work but the calories on the machine are a lot less. If I do 20 k on the elipitical random level 20 (max) (120-125 minutes) the machine says 2310 calories, MFP says 2213-2305 calories. I have just done 14k…

NSV - Face a bit thinner?
I really don't like having my picture taken, I look in the mirror and think I look OK but then take a pic and a big fat chin appears from somewhere. :( I decided to take a new profile pic and I think it looks a little bit better, the gym owner said he could see a difference the other day.

NSV - really good day yesterday
I didn't go out on Friday - just had a pint and a takeaway so I went the gym on Sat - 6th day in a row! I usually do 2 hour eliptical but 2/3 were in use so I decided to go on the treadmill, a lot harder but I managed to do 2 hours. I knew my trainers were a bit tight but was a bit shocked when I took them off, my little…

eliptical overestimating calories burnt?
I do 20 km Mon-Fri on the eliptical on random, max resistance (20). Calories on the machines are 2310 and MFP says 2295. I'm wondering if this is too high my heart rate doesn't get that high according to the machine between 120 to 130 I also walk to work which used to be 275-300 calories according to my pedometer but I've…

NSV
Went to a club last night and a saw a guy who I can't remember meeting before but he said you've lost loads of weight I only saw you 2 weeks ago! Which is true but it's nice that someone noticed.

Good couple of weeks
I was dreading weighing myself today (only do it every 2 weeks) as the last 4 weeks I've only lost 4 lbs, I added another 800 calories to my daily total on the eliptical after last time, looks like it worked:

NSV - Kind of : (
As the weather is getting warmer I decided to change from my usual jacket to my lightweight moleskin one which I really like only to find it's way too big, I checked the size and it's a 3XL. I'm at the stage where some of my current clothes are too big but old stuff I haven't worn in years is still too small, hopefully in…

Training for a charity run
I want to do a charity run sometime this year but I've only just started getting fit and I'm not sure what level of fitness I need to be aiming for and I'm a bit worried about running at my weight. I know I need the correct trainers and have found a running shop that does gait analysis. I currently go to the gym Monday to…

First weigh in since joining - still going in the right dire
Woke up early this morning which I never usually do - perhaps because I knew I was going to weigh myself? I went from 139 kg at the start of the year to 133 kg at the beginning of the month but I thought that most of that what just eating normally after the excesses of Christmas. I decided to weigh myself every 2 weeks as…

Tesco Bakery Sausage Roll
Does anyone have a nutritional breakdown for one of these, there is only the ingrediants on the pack. I know they are not the helathiest but on a cold day they are good whilst walking to work. I was wondering if they are the same as these? http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=260274421
