I ran week 5, day 2 today and it was HARD. I really feel like its impossible i'll do 20 minutes straight on weds. At the end of every week so far I've thought, ''wow next week is gonna be hard, i can't imagine running more than the *however many minutes ran* today'' but then on the day ive sailed through (i wouldnt say it…

runner with bad knees
Do any runners have any tips or advice about bad knees? I'm on 20 years old and running between 5-8 mile runs 2 or 3 times a week, with other exercise such as swimming on the other days. Last year I really hurt my left knee after running a half marathon, could barely walk or even bend my knee for a while and had to…

going out
So tonight I'm going out with some of my mummy friends for 'drinks and dinner'. Its the first time I've been properly since having my son so its been well over a year. It's been making me really anxious - (I was actually dreaming last night that I messed up and was eating loads of bad things) I already know what I'm having…

weight loss has slowed down
Since I hit pre-preg weight (as expected) my weight loss has slowed down. I'm currently eating 1450 plus any exercise cals but I want to lose another 20 lbs so i'm not sure its wise to lower my cals yet as I dont want it to slow down again in 10 lbs time. These are my stats (and my diary is open and i'd love any negative…

little NSV for me :)
Firstly, two people (my mum + my dad) have told me my face looks thinner, hooray! Secondly, I'm 2lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight, at 18 weeks post-partum! Yay, my pre-preg clothes are finally starting to fit properly again :)

why does nothing make sense
Yesterday I had a bad day for the first time since Ive started using MFP, I ate over 1000 calories over my goal and did no exercise & woke up 0.8 lbs lighter than yesterday. I mean on sunday I ate a huge roast but did like an hour of exercise so that was pretty much fine. I just dont get why I'd wake up ligher after all…

When did you first see results?
Yeah, so basically when did you start to physically see results - not on your scale. Clothes getting loose, looking slimmer? I'm a 5'11 female so I feel like I never LOOK different, I can loose a stone and look no different. So frustrating.. Will I ever get into the next size down?! I've been a size 12 (UK) at 150lbs and…

help a newbie with crunches and push-ups!
A quick question, I did lesson 1 of the 30 day shred - and daft as it sounds, I dont know if im doing crunches right! She says to make sure you use your abs (obviously) and emphasises on not to use the neck. So my question is, I can't stop using my neck, I can really feel it straining and i'm not sure if i'm using my abs…

Low sugar snacks
I'm currently eating under 1200 and I KNOW its so bad, but im just not hungry - can anyone tell me any good ways to just get in some extra cals as healthily as possibly, mainly just for nutrition and to up my cals. I'm exercising more than I was before so I think I should be eating a considerable amount more - I just dont…

I'm a young mummy to a beautiful boy and before I had him I was a severe yo-yo dieter, my weight fluctuated between 145 and 160lbs, i'm 5'11. I just want some more friends to keep me motivated so this can be a life change and not just a 'oh i've lost 10lbs, time to eat everything - gain it back & start again' I'm currently…
