It was pretty popular - it ran from June 14th 2007, and contained 1634 comments, as well as a bloody tonne of lost weight, and personal goals achieved by us all.I'm not sure if we need another one or not? Initially I thoughts Pirates "We're all fucked on the health front" (Not that health, though lord knows some of us flirt enough ;) ) thread might cover it, however that seems more geared towards serious health gripes that some of us live with / are learning to live with.Where as the "old" XXL thread was more weight-loss / exercise goal orientated. So what do peeps think? Keep both threads, or is it better to shift the content that would appear in here, into the Adamantium spine thread?

Snacks are only protein shakes and fruit 4. Sexy as all hell with a shaved head

I agree though, it does suit other peeps.

Take that recommended recovery / physiotherapy programme. Although I gotta say - I'm pretty knackered. And by knackered I mean sitting here on an oxygen machine :) So perhaps not the best thing in the world todo, but there we go.

It also produces these lovely charts so everyone can see my progress. It appears I didn't slow down sufficiently for my "blue" intervals.

I'm hoping that'll be fixed sometime soon.

I think those things are well cool - When I used my bike there's a heart rate monitor that syncs up with the onboard computer, but it doesn't output anything, unfortunately. As for me - I'm quite happy with my progress. I walked to the cinema this morning, which is a (according to Google Maps) 2.7 mile way, which includes a bit that isn't exactly a vertical climb, but it's steep enough for me at the moment :) What I'm more happy about, is that while I had to sit down for a few mins once I hit the top of the incline, I felt relatively Ok afterwards. I'm a bit out of breath at the moment - I might perhaps have pushed it too far (given the physiotherapist is recommending short walks at the moment), but yeah, I'm happy I managed todo it. I start the next stage of my treatement tomorrow, so more than likely all my energy is gonna vanish quicker than Forest Whitakers waist-line, but there we go :)

I speak from experience. also I know I've asked this before about the wonky hybrid version of the metric system the UK uses, but do you always meaure things in miles for distance? Is speed measured the same way?

They said, "lol, we are going to send you a hat instead." I cried myself to sleep that night. Which was last night.
