Tiredness
Hi everyone, Happy Friday! I have an almost 1 yr old and am now back at work full time. I'm really struggling on some days with being tired (baby's going through a bad patch sleep-wise) and finding the energy and motivation to exercise and eat well. I know reaching for the junk food doesn't help in the long run, but it's…

Baby Weight
Morning everyone B) , I'm back here because I'm keen to start blitzing the baby weight and wondered if there's anyone else in the same position? My baby is 11 and a half weeks now and although I started off well, I seem to have lost motivation on the weight loss. Inconsistent sleeping habits and being at home on mat leave…

Pregnant and can't stop eating!
Hi all, I've been away for a while but just logged in again as my eating is getting out of control and I need to face the reality of what I'm consuming at the moment. I'm almost 13 weeks pregnant and have been easy on myself because of all day nausea and weird food cravings (mostly carby things that didn't make me feel…

Hip Flexor!
Hi, I've just started marathon training (my second one) and am experiencing hip flexor issues on my long runs (so far only two). On both occasions, I cut the run short of my scheduled distance out of fear of making in worse. Now I'm worried about aggravating it but scared of falling behind on my training. I've started some…

Motivation
Morning all, I hope you had fab weekends. So, it's Monday and yet again I find myself 'starting over'. I just don't seem to be able to sort myself out lately or stick with anything. After a great summer with really good progress and steady weight loss, I've had a shocking autumn and gained nearly everything I'd lost. I…

Hip flexor pain - running
Hi all, I'm in the taper phase for my first marathon (2 weeks time). A few weeks ago on my longest run, my hip flexor began to ache towards the end and was sore for a couple days. It cleared up fine and hadn't caused any more problems until today, when it suddenly flared up again - just a dull ache, but I cut my run short…

Post marathon recovery
Morning, runners :) So I did a marathon a few weeks ago (it'll be 3 on Sunday)...in no way did I expect to be feeling the effects still. The day after, my hip flexor and quads were a little bit sore but I got over that within a couple of days, did loads of walking (I was on holiday), felt good and thought that was that.…

Oh dear
So, I kind of boredom ate two homemade cookies (delish) that a colleague brought in today. Didn't even think about it, just hoovered the first one up with a cup of tea this morning and then by this afternoon, I was feeling fed up and bored and told myself I 'deserved' another one and that it would cheer me up as they made…

Knowing the difference
...between wanting to eat and needing to eat. I'm really struggling today. Had a good lunch, not hungry but still obsessing about eating - why? :(

Boredom
I'm bored at work and want to eat. My lunch was boring, now I'm looking to make it up to myself. Making do with a cup of tea and trying to ignore it!

Salt
Morning all, Has anyone else had problems feeling unwell after working out due to low salt? It's absolutely awful! I don't normally have any problems unless I'm doing a particularly long run and since I realised what the problem was a few years ago, I've always used energy drinks and been fine...until this morning. I felt…

Foot pain - Plantar fasciitis
Hi all, Has anyone has this and if so, how long did it take to shake off? I picked up a mild niggle in my heel running the weekend before last, so l took it easy during training last week as I had a half marathon on the Sunday. Completed the race without any issues, but it started to feel worse after completing and spread…

somebody stop me...
Cake is calling and I half want to give in/will half be furious if I do. It's just cake...when I type it, it seems ridiculous how much power I'm allowing it to have over my life! I'll feel even sillier when I hit post!

Fed up with feeling fed up
Hi all, As the title suggests, I've rejoined because I'm fed up with feeling fed up with myself and not doing anything about it. I've been gradually gaining weight for the last two years and have gone from 136lbs to 157lbs. I'm still fairly fit, but my training schedule is erratic (due to laziness and making excuses not to…
