So 1 day of weights wouldn’t be worth even doing? I can run Sat & Sun much more easily. Is this okay to run consecutively. I only do 5k. I’ve got the last 14lbs to lose now & am finding it so hard.

Anyone?

Thanks all! Any to avoid or things to watch out for?

Thanks. It’s not practical to take them unfortunately where I live. It is easier for me to run the weekend as my partner is home. Is is okay to run say Sat & Sun? Or should there be a day in between?

Anyone??!! What days would you recommend for which?

I’m 120lb. A gym membership isn’t helpful as I have very limited childcare!

Forgot to ask - what should I be looking for in a treadmill? Features etc? I only ever run 5k at most outdoors

I can so relate to this. I used to be in a constant cycle of skipping work out days due to being so tired. Then ‘making up for it’ at the next workout. Same with food. I would restrict more to lose weight & ‘make up’ for not working out, then go on a binge at the weekend because I’d not had enough calories in the week etc.…

Add me & we can do this together!

Hi, welcome! Add me :)

Great idea! Please feel free to add me & I will keep an eye on your loggings

I really do need more friends on MFP, to help me keep on track & be accountable. I do well for a few weeks then give up! Put weight back on & start all over again. Please add me if you are good at motivating!

I have a Border Collie too! He would run forever! How far do you run? I only really get a Sunday to go for a run. I can do about 3 miles now. So try to go on a Sunday. Then do the shred once or twice in the week. It’s hard being a Mum, trying to work out & eat well isn’t it!

That’s the problem I have with running, I always need a babysitter! So only get to make it once or twice per week. Maybe I should get a treadmill, but I love being outdoors in the fresh air with my dog!

I love that it’s over & done with pretty quickly despite the sweat!

Nice to connect :) I’ve cut out all alcohol except for special occasions now & feel better for it! I hate seeing how many ‘empty’ calories are in my daily chocolate & cocoa but I’m struggling to drop them. It’s my treat I look forward to! I’d love to cut them out and swap them for something more filling but don’t have the…

Hey, thanks for your reply. Emotions & energy levels definitely affect my hunger. Even the weather affects me! Maybe if you’re run down & feeling a little under the weather/tired you’re craving more calories for energy? If I’m tired I crave sugar for example. Although I would have thought you being so tall you could have a…

Level 2, circuit 3 - OUCH! Those chair raises & double skipping. ‘Feel like you’re doing to DIE!’

Thanks, I do try to take the longer route/take the stairs etc. I know these are excuses but I’m so so tired. I work full time (desk job) with a 2 hour round driving commute (thanks to our great Motorways) and have 2 small kids (10m & 3) Obviously my time is majority work, nursery drop off/collect, evenings are the usual…

I know more exercise would get me more calories. But just noooooo!

I tried slimming world but it didn’t work! I still can’t understand how it works for others the amount of calories they eat!

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t lose at 1400 :( Hot choc is a good idea now we’re going into Autumn! I eat boiled eggs & light babybel for easy snacks Greek yog & raspberries mushed up as a pudding! Greek Yog & cinnamon sprinkled on

It is sometimes on YouTube but then usually gets taken down quickly! So in the end I purchased it on Amazon for £4. You got a bargain there aprohdite16!

So there’s literally no difference between the way it is formed from the bean? I really believed what I read!

Thanks! Was just curious how everyone was weighing. I’m planning on weighing & logging once per week so hope that will be okay & accurate!

I like this idea! I may start this too as I need more motivation over the weekend to stay motivated! Those weighing daily, how do you choose which weight to log? Does anyone actually weigh in the evening?

I hear you, so what exactly is the difference between the two?!

I know your question. The answer is no. Let it go. Try to figure out the reason for binging & worrying over these milder work outs

Just my opinion. I found it impossible and seems OP is too. Its probably a lot easier for those who have bigger cal allowance. I think very hard on a 1200 per day and such low carb too.

You’re trying to follow 2 diets at once. Low calorie AND Keto. They are different. Just choose one and stick to it for a couple of weeks and assess your progress. You DONT calorie count on Keto because it is impossible as you are experiencing! Yup just restrict carb intake. That’s it. You eat about 40-50g carb a day.…
