Sydney Running Festival
Anyone taking part? I'm fairly new to running, so I'm going for the 9km bridge run, but considering aiming for the half-marathon next year. :)

Roll Call for 08/04...Did you finish today's workout???
I just finished L3D8 - only two more to go! My husband's bought tickets for us to go on an interactive zoo adventure as my reward for sticking it out! (I've started the shred a few times before, but never finished, and this is something I've wanted to do for years but haven't because it's a little pricey.) So if I don't…

Roll Call for 7/29 - Did YOU finish today's workout?!
I did a night shift last night (yay for brand new babies!), so today I caught up on yesterday's Shred (L3D1) as well as today's (L3D2). Man, it kicked my *kitten* so bad, but I'm feeling so great! I couldn't do 5 push ups in a row when I started L1, and now I can do a full set of the travelling push ups! My husband's also…

Switching to the 'eat more to weigh less' philosophy?
For those who've increased their calorie intake in line with the 'eat more to weigh less' philosophy, what made you decide to do so? When did you make the switch? Has it worked for you? I have only lost 0.2lb for each of the last two weeks, despite 'doing everything right' as best I can, and am wondering whether I should…

Roll Call for 7/24 - Did YOU Finish Today's Workout!!
I've just finished L2D7, and can't believe I'm so far through - this is a record for me! I skipped forward and watched a little bit of L3 today, though - wow! I'm a bit intimidated! I'm not finding L2 as easy as I was finding L1 by day 7, but I really hope I can handle L3 in a few days' time - I'm hoping to finish the…

Vegetable challenge?
I'm getting some veggies in my day, but not as many as I'd like, and I see that this is true for some of my friends as well. Is anyone interested in doing a 5-serves-a-day vegetable challenge with me? I'd like to start on Saturday, and keep going for a month - hopefully it will be a habit after that! :)

Party food - share your favourite recipes!
I'm throwing a surprise party for a friend later this week, and I'm hoping to come up with some healthful savoury finger-food options (because her other friend is making a chocolate ganache cake for dessert!). Most of the things I've turned to in the past aren't healthful (spring rolls, spinach and ricotta pastries, etc),…

What are your plans after the 30DS?
I'm being optimistic/ ambitious, and thinking ahead to what I'll do after the 30DS. I haven't done any other workout videos before, so I was interested in hearing reviews of other options: whether JM, the Insanity/ P90X ones I keep seeing mentioned, or something I haven't thought of yet. I do prefer videos I can do at home…

What to do when...
I'm very new to all of this - I've never kept track of how many calories I'm eating before. At the moment, I've got a very hectic lifestyle, and I find that I'm undereating to the target of 1200 cals that MFP has set for me (I'm working longish hours during the day and then am on call in the evenings, and if I'm called I…

Weathering the perfect storm
Yet another newbie here to say hi and hoping to connect with others on the journey. :smile: I'm in my late 20s, and in the last few years, I have gone from cooking-for-two with an 9-5 job (and that awesome early-20s metabolism :tongue: ) to cooking-for-one and working/studying for up to 15 hours a day, which has led me…
