Restarting - again!
Hi guys. I never seem to be able to stick this out long enough to see benefits. I've had a pretty rough few years and in the next month or so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking for some motivating characters. So if you feel you can help me out, please add me and help me achieve my goal of actually…

NSV vs Bodyweight Targets
I'm going in for an operation in May on both of my groins, an injury which has put me out of action from football for over 6 months. I miss playing and can't wait to get back, but I decided that in order to make the operation more likely to succeed I would try and lose some weight. It's a quick keyhole operation but by…

5:2, discuss.
So today is my first day of fasting on the 5:2 diet. It's the only way of eating that works for me if I want to lower my weight and it's worked before (having lost over a stone and a half this time last year!). Does anyone else do it or have you done it before? What variations of it have you done? 4:3? 6:1? Does anyone…

I'm stuck! Motivation, help!
So, I'm stuck in a rut. I find my mind wants to achieve weight loss, get a six pack etc. But it lasts about 10 minutes. Then I have a drink, or I snack. How do I get over these little bouts of day dreaming and just make this a clear objective in my mind?! I've had two attempts at running half marathons this year. The…

Standard NSV
Today I bought a pair of size 30 inch waist regular jeans. Little tight, but i've only just started the Insanity workout, so in the next 60 days I hope to slim down into them a little more....this weight loss is going to be quite expensive. :S

The Truth About Exercise
Hey Guys, Just thought MFP people would be interested in this programme shown on BBC this week. (might not work outside UK) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01cywtq/Horizon_20112012_The_Truth_About_Exercise/ The program isn't so much about weight loss, as what sort of exercise can benefit people. It's given me a huge…

Trying to run half a marathon...
Hey, I'm James. Studying at university. 21 years old. Decided about 3 months ago I was going to run the Great North Run in 2012. So now I'm signed up to that I have no option but to do it and I reckon it's the perfect motivation to get fit and lose some weight (about 25lbs ish is my target). Got just under 7 months until…

This is my Motivation...
So I've decided to run the Great North Run. (mini plug here: http://www.justgiving.com/jamesbloodruns) Back in 2009 I managed to lose a stone and a half (thanks to a monetry incentive among a group of my work collegues during my gap year, and I'm extremely competitive). That was swiftly put back on and I've maintained…
