Is anyone else on here attemping to get fit? It seems to me that a lot of people are trying to get in shape for various reasons, I thought it was generally girls that were concious about themselves but I've recently discovered several male friends and even my brother are watching what they eat and exercising more (I feel quite bad- me telling my brother he'd put on weight caused him to join a gym).

Anyway, I'd be quite interested to know if anyone on here is already trying to get in shape for summer, and what they're doing about it. I'm doing a lot more exercise (even if it does mean getting up at six and going for a run) and thinking about what I eat as well as cutting down portion sizes. I've signed up to do three miles for Sport Relief, and I'm hoping that after that I've be able to do longer running sessions as they're quite relaxing. I've got two holidays and my school prom in July so I'd like to be looking my best for then, but just generally I'd like to get to a (still healthy) weight that I'm comfortable with, without losing my curves.

I ought to try to get fit. I'm not overweight or anything (rather the opposite actually), but I reckon I could do with some more exercise. But the motivation is missing, I'm too lazy. All that I do is "dancing" when I listen to music. I try to use various dance moves, but seriously I can't dance at all I don't think it does much to me...

I'm trying to get a fitty if that counts?

No Jono, no it doesn't. I'm alright foodwise becauuse I have really high metabolism, but I should do more excercise. I used to ice-skate, play hockey for my school's team and go to running club, but I do none of that now.

I joined a new gym last week and I love it. Although im quite injured and cant do much at the moment its great and I have my own personal trainer and he's nice :D. Since Christmas I have just eaten crap and I need to get back into shape plus, Ive seen the most gorgeous dress I want so Ive told myself that if I get back into shape ill buy myself it.

Ive tried to cut out sweets and stuff(given up chocolate for lent) and I keep on getting cravings for it-argh!

I thought Jono said "I want a fifty" as in a £50 note!

Nope, it's too cold for exercise.

I eat the healthiest diet of anyone I know (not through choice - fat and junk food don't agree with me - I used to eat chocolate all the time) and I walk for at least an hour most days including some pretty fast walks up big hills when I'm late for lectures. Despite all this, I'm too ill to do any more exercise, so go figure.

My male housemate keeps going on about the calorie, fat and salt content of things, it's getting a bit annoying.

I've never sampled the delights of a deep-fried battered mars bar... Are they worth the risk of coronary failure?

I think they're an urban myth, I NEVER encountered one single deep fried Mars Bar during the four years I lived in Glasgow.

I could do with a bit of exercise, not to lose weight - I eat very healthily, just to feel a bit more chipper in general.

Till I came to uni I'd never heard of chips and cheese or chips and gravy. I was uninitiated into the world of dodgy takeaways. They make me feel sick though, just looking at the kind of stuff my friends manage to eat while drunk.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
