Week 5, day 3 of couch to 10K. I actually ran for 8 minutes straight (twice!). Delighted 😀

I did an express body pump. It absolutely flew by. Would definitely do it again. https://youtu.be/gU1FTuoZQ1o

Today I decided to walk rather than take the car and then did an express body pump workout.

I have a Fitbit charge 2 but I’m not really fussed about tracking steps and don’t like that I can’t wear all my nice watches so I decided to buy a Polar Verity Sense which is just an arm band that syncs to a phone app. I’ve heard good things about it so fingers crossed it works out.

I did week 5, day 2 of Couch to 10K on the treadmill. I almost put it off but I’m so glad I did it.

I forgot to post my weigh in results at the weekend. I lost 2lbs 🎉 SW: 214 CW: 202

Breakfast: Cinnamon porridge & a rice cake (bit random I know!) Lunch: courgette and mushroom soup, courgette and cheese muffin (we have a glut in the garden right now :smiley:) and a chocolate biscuit Dinner: cod fillet with pesto, roasted tomatoes, stir fried kale, cabbage and onion and 50g (dry weight) spaghetti Snacks:…

@CupcakeCrusoe That's awesome! Well done. It really does make a difference when you look at the whole picture. I really need to remind myself to do this. For the last two mornings I've been waiting until 10am to have breakfast (although I do have coffee first thing - which has been 5am the last two mornings with the baby)…

I'm in the same situation as you guys too! I lost weight after my 8 month old was born and then put it back on in the months following her birth. I did the same with my 4 year old and never really lost it so feel doubly big at the moment!

I knit too and feel the same way! I have a 4yr old and an 8 month old and when I have down time I just want to knit or read (and have a cup of tea... and a biscuit!) but then it means I'm not being as active as I could. Waaah. I think I need to only knit when the kids are in bed at night (rather than naps etc.) and try to…

I love this thread. Do you mind if I join in? SW: 214 CW: 204 TW: 154 I started to pile on weight after having my son 4 years ago and then even more after having my little girl 8 months ago. I want to start feeling like myself again so I’d like to commit to making healthier choices as well as losing weight. Targets for…

I've come across so many dodgy lockers. It was probably the locker and not you. Maybe you could ask for some help next time and I'm absolutely certain that you're not the only one to have had difficulty. They can be quite tricky sometimes.

I like Joe Wicks' youtube channel.

I'm an English teacher too. Feel free to add me :smile:

Add me too. I'm in a similar position. I'm loving being back at exercise classes. It's tough staying motivated though!

I'm new & determined to log every day! Feel free to add me

I'm trying to lose my baby weight too. I only have one child and plan on having another fairly soon but I want to get back to my pre-baby weight first. I used to be pretty active so I'm trying to get back to the gym too. It's so much harder now though! :neutral:

Same here! Good luck x

I'm just starting to log again & would love some friends to keep me motivated

I want to get below 200lbs before my city break in Feb.
