Barry White is my (not so secret) favourite - but it's just too funny and corny to play when getting it on.

Tool is high on the list (because it was playing to first time we were together), Chris Smither, anything bluesy and soulfull.

Plus I have a string of pink flamingo lights that are really dim, basically if they're on - it's on!

Hi Guys,

I'm doing week one day one when I get home from work today!  Wish me luck.  I started running casually a couple of weeks ago but had to stop for a week because I've been unwell.

There is a footy oval directly opposite my house so it's easy enough to get going if I go straight after I get home from work.

I'm hoping to start running in the mornings now that it's starting to get a bit warmer and lighter (I live in Australia).

I'm 5"0 and 23 years old - CW: 136 GW: 114.

Find it extremely hard to lose weight, but my main focus is eating healthy.  Haven't really got the exercise thing happening regularly yet and was thwarted in my efforts by getting sick.

Oh well, back on track this week.

I'm really late with my submission because I've been unwell and away from the internet.  Didn't lose any weight though so it doesn't really matter but I want to keep it up anyway and I know the next weigh in is tomorrow!

Stats, I'm 23, female, Australian, 62kgs / 136.4 pounds, and 5 foot 0.

Current Stats: (62kgs) 136.4 pounds / (1.6ks) 1 mile

Goal Stats: (55kgs) 121 pounds / (5ks) 3 miles

Aug 10 ---- 136.4 pounds (62kgs) / 1 mile (1.6ks)

Aug 15 ---- 136.4 pounds (62kgs) / 1 mile (1.6ks)

Hey Everyone,

I read a bit of this thread and have to say I'm very impressed with everyone's enthusiasm.  I don't want to join per se as I've started a running regime, but I'm a mad keen hiker and love bush walking (I live in Australia), so I thought I'd just pop my head up and say hello.

I have done the 100 km / 48 hour Oxfam trailwalk challenge twice in the last 12 months.  I have to say it was the most fulfilling thing I have ever done.  So tough but so fun, I would highly reccommend taking on a charity challenge if you are finding it hard to get motivated.  I'm doing a 3 day trek in the New Zealand mountains at the end of the year and am really trying to increase my all round fitness for it.

Well done everyone, keep up the good work.  I do walk home from work occassionally - I'm not sure how far it is but it takes about an hour and a half!

I'd buy lunch - definitely!  Sounds like you're getting excited about it.

If it was me, and I was disappointed at only having lame salad and no cake for lunch then I'd probably do something naughty at dinner time or for dessert.

Maybe try to say no to cake, or have a little half portion?  You're allowed a treat from time to time!

thought I'd post an update, I had a smaller lunch today and really took my time having small sips of water with it.  I feel a lot better - still fairly bloated but no stabbing pains which is a plus!  I guess I'm a work in progess, but then again who isn't?

It doesn't feel like gas, it feels more localised, like stabbing pain.  If it is the fiber what should I do?  Will it pass or should I cut back?
