25 min run today completed with no stops :j I'm still shocked that 6 weeks ago I could only just run for 90 sec's and then have to stop and catch my breath.

Fred - can you add another 2.91 miles to my total please.


Betty - hope you manage to get out and run today. Are you stretching before your run? as that could partly be why you are getting pains? I do a 5 min walk then stretch then start the podcast as I used to get terrible calf cramps otherwise.

Welcome Moneysaver12 you will find lots of help and support here I know I have :T

:TWell done! I find it so hard to believe I will ever be able to run for 25 mins without collapsing lol!

Yes I do stretch. I have to wait at a few traffic light crossings during my 5 min warm up so I use that time to stretch my calves!
But I have also researched some shin stretches than will hopefully stop them hurting me.

Thankyou Eric and Margartclare. I will have a look at that site. I do get disheartened when i put weight back on. I really want to lose weight and lost as much as i can for my holiday. It affects my confidence. Also i keep weighting myself nearly every day which i need to stop. I know that i am going to struggle with the water as i don't like water, but i need to drink it.

Hi there, sorry to butt in but I used weightlossresources and thought it was brilliant. I've now found 'foodfocus' and found it works more or less on the same lines but is FREE HTH

Day 36 completed of Insanity. Oh man, phase 2 is pure torture. Did Fit test and Max Interval Circuit today. Have to say it was the hardest workout I've ever done. Not sure if it's cos i did the fit test just before I done the workout without any break, but even so, it was so hard, I had to take quite a couple of breaks and was sweating bucket loads by the end. My heart rate was up the roof the entire time. Will post my fit test results tomorrow if I remember. Did better in a couple, the same in about 1, and worse in about 2. Can't complain though as my body has been so sore. Can't wait for tomorrow.

There's someone on the Fitness thread doing Insanity at the moment, have you been over there you might be able to compare notes? - Sory just read through and she is posting on here too!

I know what you mean about putting weight back on. I was like that when I was stuck at 78kg. Kept on getting down to 77, then back up to 78 again and it would continue then I changed my food a bit, my exercise regime a bit, and I'm now 65.6 (well i'll see tomorrow what I am as that was last weeks weight). So if you seem to be at a plateau see if changing something helps as it certainly helped with me.

Also yeh when im stressed i tend to weigh myself everyday, but i realised that weighing myself everyday caused me to be even more stressed, and i'd find that by the time it was weigh in day, i'd have a sts or have a gain.

P.S. :eek: How can you not like water? I absolutely love water, whether it's tap water, mineral, filtered. I hate juice, fizzy drinks and all that. In fact im the only one in my family whose favourite drink is water lol.
