I'm about 6lbs off my fattest weight on record when I dieted and exercised before my wedding 5 years ago. Used to do a lot of running with my wife and she was always the driver of us going and doing it, now we have a son we never go together and I never go at all. Has a back op a year ago so that held me up and I also have been making excuses as well. So now I have joined a group at work, we all weighed ourselves and will be running just over 2 miles 3 times a week at lunch time Hope that I will do more at weekends as well, I'm lucky that generally once I start up exercise I find I have soon get fit again and can increase my distances |

Do you use Strava? it is good for achievements and kudos, and it seems to help. |

Not used anything like that, my wife has a old Garmen watch that I don't think does that much very easily with SmartPhones Was thinking that if I can keep it up I might invest in something to see how may miles you have to run to get rid of all the weight, hopefully that will start me thinking the next time I drink beer or eat shit food! |

Strava's useful not so much for the recording - though that's interesting - but because you can compare yourself with locals running/cycling the same route, and see what others have been up to that week. If your group were on it would put your joint runs together, but also perhaps give you the quick 'oh, they've just done a sneaky 3 on Saturday' motivation. You can log exercise with a GPS watch and connect it up or directly from the app using your phone. Plus you can link it to your parkrun profile, so it has become quite the social thing for me. |

Bought a new heart rate monitor strap. As my old one says my BPM was 240 all the time. A selling point for new one is 'one size fits most' |

For the first time in my life since I was only a few months old, I now actually (believe it or not) have a BMI in the healthy range*. Alas, my body fat % is still only 9%. When it should be 14 as a minimum. But still, progress. * - or at least it was before they poisoned me on wednesday. |

I had a doctors appointment today where they questioned an anomolous BMI measurement taken two weeks ago, which wasn't calculating properly. Looking at the fields the nurse filled in I was listed as 63(cm) tall and weigh 177(kg)... D'oh. |

So they dragged you in to see if you were essentially a solid space hopper without actually checking it *might* possibly be a clerical error? Did they have previous readings and thought "FUCK ME she's got caught in a car crusher" or the like? |

I only joined that surgery two weeks ago, so they were my initial recorded measures from that date, but as I've been fainting noticed that my BMI was very wrong, Rechecked both and they'd just been swapped in the boxes when they were typed in. Like to think they might have thought I was a space hopper, though. |

Started running again, go out every 2nd day on a 1.5 mile circuit around the block, on Fridays my wife drags me out with her and our son (in the jogging buggy) for a 3 mile run. Been doing it 3 weeks now. Feel so much brighter in the day and sleep like a log, some muscle stiffness but its all where is should be, in my legs as a pose to my back, so that means my disc op has worked Plan to increase distance in the next month or so as the days get lighter Glad I've finally started |

Well my running was going really well until last week when I went skateboarding and tweaked my already fucked knee then decided to run five miles the next day thinking it would somehow help make it better. It really didn't. It's fine again now apart from a weird thumb-sized lump underneath one of the surgery scars but I still can't run because I'm full of some shitty virus cold thing again. Ah well. |
