The great GC weigh-in!

Oh Whiley don't give up on us all. I only started because LoL did, and I am glad I did too, because slowly but surely I had put on 2 stone in weight. I am not doing that well now, but at least I am not creeping ever upwards. Take heart!

 

Good morning all. I cannot tell a lie and have to declare that I have gained one pound! This is NOT due to chocolate as I haven't eaten any but could have something to do with the pizza, tacos and roast duck!

But I'm still 10lbs less than when I started so I will make more effort this week in order to achieve my goal of one stone less. Ho hum!

 

Lol i can beat a pounds gain!! After a harsh few weeks, i'm back on the game!

I'm done with the moping and post break up munching. I'm going to be feeding myself as healthily as i can and exercising too.

I'm back at 10st 2lbs and i want to drop to about 8st 7lbs, sounds a bit far fetched but i think it'll be my happy weight! So i need excercise tips. What have people found most effective?

 

Swimming, Whiley! You might have my problem, that fat turns to muscle, so you don't weigh a lot less, but you get well toned, and that'll do me! :D

 

Hi Whiley, on the exercise front, about 30 years ago I cycled 20 mins. every morning and evening to work for 5 days a week, and within 3 months I had lost so much I had to start again with my clothes, and there was no more fat to come off. This is one exercise that would definitely work.

It took three quarters of an hour to start with, so gives you some idea of how much effort is required, but on the other hand you can eat as much as you like!

I wouldn't have the discipline to do it now, unfortunately! Good luck.

I am just getting started on some exercise but not too worried about my weight, no change so far.

 

Seems everybody is doing well
Mrs Pal and I are also on fitness trail as well as watching what we eat.
We bought a X-Trainer a while back and every evening it's put through its paces. Mrs Pal does 20 minutes and I rack up 6/7 KM's in 30 minutes...including a most important warm up for the first KM taking 6min's.
It is an excellent Cardio vascular workout as well as burning off nearly a stone each!!
That and no fags for 6.5 months makes our country walks so much more enjoyable... at times we almost break out into a canter
:D :D

 

Tell me you mathemiticians - having got a pedometer to measure what I am walking. To measure the ground covered per stride, should it not be from toe of the leading foot to the heel of the the trailing foot. Every logical grey cell that I have says this is the ground covered, but I am open to correction.

 

You bought the wrong scales, Nathan - take them back and get a better set!

Fran - that makes sense to me!

And Hi, DAG! Haven't seen you for ages!! You still busy with the house extension?

 

28lbs gone so far - Whale Watcher Day tomorrow - will be back to let you know how good/bad it is!

Keep on keeping on everyone

 

Hi Dendy, yes but it is the wrong type of exercise, I just get back ache! :D

So not expecting to report any changes just yet, but I am in no hurry, better slow and steady!

 

lynne - WOW 28lbs!!!!!!!!! fantastic!!!!!

I cycle to and from work - but as its only a 5 minute ride, I don't seem to burn off that many calories!!!! never mind.....

.... maybe I'll get into the swimming pool soon....

 

Thanks Dendy

 

Honey Bee try varying your route to work and increase your distance gradually,my route to work was 10miles direct but I used to go the "scenic route" many times I ended up touring the lanes and doing 30miles or so and I will guarantee you will burn calories even on a cold winters day I was glowing for hours after arriving for work still burning calories
