By the way, I checked out the girlsruntoo website - it's pretty nifty. I read about this site somewhere else and meant to check it out before but had forgotten all about it - thanx lamb.
I get very attached to my race kit - it's one of the things that puts me of the Nike 10km - I know it's silly but I don't like the idea of racing in one of those big unflattering t-shirts which are never in the right size/length for me and I find chafe around the arms because they're normally always too big. Still, it makes for good photos of everyone in the same stuff.
She - definitely like the idea of getting new kit as rewards. Maybe we'll recognize fellow fat club members at races just by looking for people in flash new kit?
And no way is anyone coming near me with a scalpel and a bag of silicone.
Cheers, V-rap.
I am a 32D and have spent years trying loads of different bras/combination of bras to find something that works - I normally wear a couple at a time which tends to make me look like I have a spare tyre lurking under my chin but it's quite effective. Marks & Spencer do two sorts of sports bras - one of these is really fantastic for support and fit - I can jump up and down and hardly anything moves and I still look as if I have two boobs as opposed to a mono-breast. Result.
It must be the result of that flirtation with the posh gym, or spending too much time with the gorgeous gays'n'gals down the Bodypump class.
Cheers, V-rap.
I am exactly 1 stone overweight... it sounds so much .... there goes my Indian meal and beer this weekend... :-(
Anyone who wants the pace chart, email me direct as I can't send attachments via the RW forum emailing service, and i will be happy to oblige...
OK - will do.
And can you guys stop gloating about being blessed with a chest! I'm feeling a little flat this morning.
Cheers, V-rap.
Where is everyone?
Just you and me Caketin - so how's it going? I'm feeling bloated as is TOTM and so am not looking forward to weigh-in either... Just went to M&S to try to find some new office clothes for new job, was disgusted with tightness of my usual size - have I put on weight??!! Feeling down now...
I'm here though. Just went out and bought myself a mountain bike at lunch time. The had a nice tuna and pasta lunch followed by a banana and an apple.

Dont worry
Nic
Lamb - don't worry about the clothes thing. Last month people in the office acyually thought I was with child - but it was just water!! I had a few concerned looks!
What kind of bike did you get? I've got a nice aluminium-frame hybrid with suspension but it hasn't been out on the trails in a year, sob!
But she is all behind me getting back to the fit trim soldier she married long ago.... LOL
Nic
going to do a 5/6 miler tonight too, so if it's bad news I'll run it hard!
When am I going to be back to normal??!!
Last time round, it took me ages to realise that I was carrying a passenger because I assumed the amenorrhoea was due to stress and a bit too much exercise (I'd just shifted the lard after my previous pregnancy) and the ravenous appetite likewise. By the time it occurred to me that Tinkerbell might be in my tum, I didn't need to pee on a plastic stick, I was able to pick up her heartbeat with the hand-held ultrasound.
It was the only time I got through the first three months without a twinge of nausea, and, despite all the indiscretions I must have committed before the penny dropped, Tinkerbell is the most gorgeous four-year-old in the world.
It took me three years to shed the last of the weight after having her, though.
Cheers, V-rap.
V-rap, tell me when it's going to go away! Could it be due to taking 2 months of the pill in a row? I have my weigh-in tomorrow!
V-rap - absolutley sure!! I've heard you need a man for that sort of thing!
I am a newcomer to this forum and I think its great I will be checking it out most days. In Feb this year I was 16 stone so I started walking, after a small weight loss I started running in May and I have never looked back I am now 13 stone, still another stone to go I think, I am totally hooked on running I run 4 times a week and my longest run is 5 mile at 9 mins a mile. I have had a few lay offs with shin trouble but they are ok now.
I have been on a diet most of my life but I find now that I can eat fairly good and still loose the weight because of the running, by the way I am male and 47 years old.
Good luck to you all with your running and weight loss.
