Do you need to buy special trainers to run?
I did my first day of C25K today, and it was fab. I was fine when walking but every time the running section came I found it so uncomfortable to run, so I ended up taking off my trainers and running in socks and it felt 1000x better. Got home and tried 2 other pairs of trainers but still hated it and was so much more…

I've lost a stone! (14lbs) - can you see a difference?
I know the first pic is awful and I look so unhappy (because I was!) My fitness levels feel better but I don't feel as if I've lost weight, and my clothes barely feel different. Im just hoping someone else might see a difference I guess. I still have about 50lbs to lose. I know my ticker shows I've lost more than a stone,…

How can you plateau?
Sorry for the dumb questions - I've seen a couple of people say that when they don't have a lot of weight to lose if they eat too few calories their weightless stalls. I just wondered how it worked - I'm losing fine at the moment but I was just curious - if your eating less calories and burning them how can you stay at the…

Why am I meant to be eating so many calories?
So my calories were set to 1,200 which I thought was normal - but then I read a thread about not to go below your BMR? And a link to this fat2fit website which tells me according to my weight, fat percentage etc I should be eating over 2,000 calories. So I've tried this, and by the time I get to about 1,500 I just want to…

Eating too much protein?
I usually go minus on carbs so I've been trying to eat less carby things, for example no white bread today whereas I used to have a sandwich for lunch... but now I'm coming in around minus 40-50 protein for the day, so I'm obviously eating too much protein. Everything else is fine, calories, fat etc. I'm just obviously not…

My scales are rub ish :(
Today is weigh in day and it said I've lost a stone since last thurs (which I most certainly haven't). Got on and off a couple of times so now says 8lbs loss but I don't look or feel any different and that seems way too much :( Should I just not bother logging this week and try and buy some better scales? Or maybe it's my…

It's embaressing to think now but last…
