When did you start to notice changes in your body?
New Years resolution was to get healthy (again). I started lifting weights and attending a gym 4 days a week and I am quite enjoying it which is a unexpected. I read a meme once that said train for 4 weekend and feel a difference. Train for 8 weeks and you see a difference. Train for 12 weeks and others see a difference.…

Prepared delivered meals
I am starting Lite N Easy next weeks. Does anyone else do prepared meals that get delivered? It is a bit expensive but I think it will be worth it for the convenience. I did it once before a long time ago and it worked.I have tried doing it on my own and I have managed to get my weight stable but struggling get it off.…

Sick of salad
What do you eat to increase the number of veggies you eat in a day? I am sick of salad and looking for inspiration. I do have a high-speed blender and do like a green smoothie but I am looking for food I eat rather than drink that I can take to work. I do have access to a fridge and a microwave and a sandwich toaster at…

About to start again. Anyone want to join me?
I started C25k about 8 weeks ago. I got 1 and a half weeks in then broke my toe and had to stop. Went for a few 5 km walks this week with no pain so thinking of kicking of the C25K challenge again. Does anyone want to join me? I think I will do W1R1 tomorrow.

Advice from people who train late in the day
I want to start weight training at my local gym but I am really only able to go once my partner gets home from work so he can look after our son. This means that I would be going after 7pm sometime I wouldn't be starting till close to 8pm. I am a nocturnal person so I am not worried to much about energy levels while…

About to start C25K (again)
Hello, I completed the C25K Program about 9 months ago and loved it. I injured my knee about 6 months ago which had me restricted to walking. Then 4 months ago other stress full situations at home added to my life which meant that exercise stopped for me all together. The silver lining in that is that with all the stress I…

Hills????
Just wanting others thoughts on hills. My 5K run takes in 4 hills. The first one is really steep (well steep for me) and the other three are more gradual but over a much longer distance. Personally I prefer the steep one. Partly because it is early on in my run and I want to get it over and done with but also because for…

How do I get faster?
I finished the C25K program about 2 weeks ago:happy: . I am a slow runner so my new goal is to complete 5K in fewer than 30 min. At the moment I am only doing about 4.3KM in the 30 minutes and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to gain much more. How do I get faster without needing to vomit in one of my neighbour’s…

W6R1 - Oh Boy!
I did Week 6 Run 1 today. I thought after the last one I would sail through this one but I found it more difficult than I thought I would. Normally I struggle with the mental side of things more than the physical but today I really felt it in my legs. I did notice that my breathing was much easier through so I think my…

W5 R3 Done!!!!!

I found it hard, really really hard. I was fine till about the half way mark then I wanted to quite a number of times but the thought of getting as far as I…

What is Oatmeal?
I live in Australia and I read a lot of post about people eating oatmeal. I am not sure exactly what this is. If we have it in Australia then I don't think it is called oatmeal. My thinking is that it is something that is very fine. Is this the case? In the supermarket here we have oats and quick oats but I can't find…

Just finished W2R6
It has taken me 3 weeks and 6 runs to finish week 2. This has been due to illness, horrendous weather and working schedules which were not the best. I needed the extra 3 runs as there was so much time in between some of them that I didn't feel that I was ready to move on. Now I am ready. Move over Monday week 3 hear I…
