    That's weird summergurl cos I had exactly the same problem. Just with one toe too. It didn't really hurt at the time and I didn't feel my shoes catching on it or anything but they must have been. The nail is completely bruised underneath. I thought the nail might actually come off but it...

    C25K Running Thread!!

    Do you mind me asking what problems exactly are you having? Running is no different to any other exercise - you're using muscles that have not really had a good work out for a long time and they're bound to be sore. All the muscles and ligaments in your legs have to adapt and strengthen up and...

    TOTM??

    I do consider myself lucky because I don't get the dreaded totm problem these days. Not cos I'm menopausal ;) (or pregnant, thank God) ;) I remember absolutely craving carbs though, absolutely craving them - cakes, bread, pasta. For a few days before and during I just wanted to eat.

    Super Duper Low Calorie Foods!

    Thanks for those Lozzy Gozzy! Some good uns there. I'll have to try the Laughing Cow cheese one as I love cheese and didn't know it was so low in calories. One of my faves (but I doubt many people would class as yummy) is to have a cup of hot marmite. If I want something savoury, I make a...

    how do you decide when you have lost enough?

    My target is 11 stones which is mid range for my height and I also chose it because it's what I used to be back in the olden days before I got fat! It's tricky though, I must confess. I used to have some size 16 jeans in the wardrobe and I used to hold them up (when I was a size 22) and think...

    Yes, stick with the slow jogging. Although I'd wanted to run (or try running) for a long time, it was only this past couple of months that I dared to as I'd lost enough weight for it to be ok on my joints.

    One meal a day?

    I agree with all that's been said above. One meal a day is crazy and won't work - you'll be ravenous, you'll end up bingeing, you'll make yourself ill and you probably won't even lose weight as your body will panic and think there's a food shortage so your metabolism will grind to a halt...

    I would say that if you are not doing any exercise apart from the 3km jogging every other day and you're eating that sort of thing then no, you're not going to lose weight.
