Miles or kilometres? How do you track your speed?
So this may be a bit random but here goes... Us Brits are somewhat strange. We track our speed in cars in miles per hour yet with most other things it's by kilometres. For example we run 5k and 10k races and on treadmills the readings are in kph. During races we have kilometre markers. Most people here would be able to…

What prompted your lifestyle change?
I was in Ireland at the weekend visiting friends and I saw a lot of people who I haven't seen in a while and certainly not since I started on this little journey. Almost al of them asked me what triggered me off in the first place to start and whether it was a specific event or comment. I actually found this question quite…

I weighed in last weekend and gained 2lbs (having lost 3.8lbs the week before). This is my first real gain since I started on here on 14 August 2010.…

Post Workout Food Suggestions
So this week I've been hitting the gym really hard and have burned over 4000 calories (using my HRM) but am struggling to think of the best foods for post workout. I'm not a fan of milk or porridge (oatmeal) so any suggestions other than those would be great!

Biggest Loser USA
Hi! Over here in the UK we are so behind on the Biggest Loser. Today on tv they just started showing season 9 with the guy that is the heaviest ever - over 500 lbs I think. What season are you up to in America? I just love this show. It is so motivating and I love seeing the results at the end!

Over half way there....
I logged in this morning and today is my 90th day! Can't believe how fast this time has flown by. I started this journey approaching my 30th birthday and decided that I finally needed to do something to lose weight that I have basically been ignoring for a long time. The weight has been creeping up and up and I hit 192 lbs…
