I used the free NHS c25k app. I found it very good - and got me running 5k non stop in the planned time.

Week 1 HW: 218.5 PW: 174.8 CW: 177.5 LTD: 41.0 Not a good week, as shown on the weight above. We have had some major things happen this week with my step son, which is knocking onto lots of other stuff. Soap opera kind of things. So some stress eating, not planning and having maybe too many takeaways. Also our boiler is…

@melaniedscott fabulous news! Great to have you as a captain!

Week 4 HW: 218.5 PW: 173.8 CW: 174.8 LTD: 43.7 One pound on, but it still leaves me with I think just over 4.5lb overall loss in this month. This past week has seen me cake baking and decorating for my son's 9th birthday, then proceeding to eat a little too much cake in the following days. And then TOM arriving. So, to be…

Week 3 HW: 218.5 PW: 176.8 CW: 173.8 LTD: 44.7 Nice to see the scale move by a little more than a few 0.1s! I have managed to cut back on my evening snacking (not totally in control, but didn't eat after 9pm on a number of days), but also tried to vary up my exercise. I had been concentrating alot on Cardio, but this week…

Oh, and a little request.... I am currently making a meal plan for the week, and find that we have the same things in rotation and getting a little bored. Do you have any go-to healthy meals/recipes that you love and would be happy to share? We are not overly fussy, but all detest celery (though usually can leave out or…

Check In: Fri 15th Food: Logged - under (yay!) Exercise: 5k run and 3k walk Steps: 11,694 Was far better with my evening snacking last night. I have pineapple slice (though did add a little light squirty cream) and a cherry blossom white tea. Meant I ended the day under my calorie go, which is the first time in quite a…

@pacsnc6 such good news - so pleased! @kandi3570 I hear you on wanting sense of normalcy, particularly with schools. Our schools won't be back until end of Feb earliest - not sure who will crack first, me or my kids!

Week 2 HW: 218.5 PW: 177.1 CW: 176.8 LTD: 41.7 Its a loss, so thats good. And this week I have been far better at tracking, and also being more accurate with weighing my foodstuffs. However, I have not had a single day where I have not gone over my calorie goal, and the main cause of that is late night snacking. We do eat…

Check In: Tues 12th Food: Logged - over by a little (better!) Exercise: 2k walk Steps: 5,747 Trying to work whilst helping a 5year old with their online schooling is hard! Was so tired by the end of the day yesterday. Only managed a short walk with my daughter. I was wanting to get some other exercise in (planned yoga),…

Check In: Mon 11th Food: Logged - over Exercise: 5k run and 2.5k walk Steps: 13,239 Was all going so well during the day. Ran my fastest 5k (managed to get out without children on scooters in tow!), made a delicious chicken and tarragon hotpot (recipe from Pinch of Nom), drank some water. Then, once kids were in bed and I…

Check In: Sun 10th Food: Logged - over Exercise: 3.5k run and 7.5k walk Steps (for challenge): Sun 14,786 Frustratingly my garmin watch battery died during one of my walks so the step count above does not includes 2k worth of walking. Hey ho - need to be better prepared and make sure I charge my watch regularly! So first…

My steps for the week: Sun - 10,881 Mon - 7,383 Tue - 8,104 Wed - 7,602 Thu - 15,285 Fri - 9,091 Sat - 12,479

Thank you for the kind words. I do my best (diet/health/weight-wise) when participating with this team (the support, encouragement, tips and tricks really makes the difference), so to be honest I am being a little self in become a motivator! I want to lend Ashley a hand in keeping track of what is going on, but also make…

Morning everyone! My journey back in the wagon is going quite slowly. Good things I am doing: Healthy meals, lots of fruit and vegetables, getting in some good cardio exercise (cycling, walking and running). Things I am doing that are not so great: - not tracking consistently - not drinking much water - late night snacking…

Sorry Ashley, thought I had changed my weigh in day to Fridays! Here you go: Week 1 HW: 218.5 PW: 179.5 CW: 177.1 LTD: 41.4 I'm having mixed success at the moment. I am getting some good exercise in, making some healthy meal choices, but my evening snacking it not really under control. Currently in the midst of home…

About Me! Hi everyone. I'm Lisa, 41yo and live in the UK. I live with my partner of over 20 years and we have 2 kids (son 8 and daughter 5). Also have a cat (Curzon), fish and 4 chickens (and an endless supply of fresh eggs!). Other than occupying myself with kids, work and chores I have 2 main hobbies at the moment which…

Hi, Sorry to not have checked in for a couple of weeks. Not been tracking or weighing, though have been keeping active. Please can I be moved to cheer squad until January? Thank you,

Freeglerock Week 1 PW: 170.3 CW: 170.8 LTD: 47.7 My weight is all over the place at the moment. Think it is probably due to TOTM, but I have also changed up my exercise as well (trying to learn how to run...). I have also started having a glass of wine more regularly in the evening. If within calories, does alcohol effect…

@KUMEcyclingteam Yum! I want some turkey cake! Truly spectacular!

Freeglerock Week 4 PW: 170.5 CW: 170.3 LTD: 48.2 I am struggling to choose the right things to eat, and sneaky snacks are finding their way in. Need to get that motivation back so I can start losing again as only just over a stone from my goal weight, and I would like to get there. First thing I know that helps in checking…

@minstrelofsarcasm I totally understand you on the feelings front. This pandemic is really testing on the mental health front for so many people. I live with my partner and 2 kids, so have not had the experience of spending it by myself, but I can tell you there have been many a time where I wish I was! I have never spent…

So a little note on my 5k. It ended up actually being over 9k, and I did it with my neighbour, who just that day had become a granny! We decided to walk around Greenham common, and the photo of the cows was taken in one of the wooded areas (and the light was from my head torch - my phone camera flash is useless). Think we…

Live from my 5k:

Freeglerock Week 3 PW: 171.6 CW: 170.5 LTD: 48.0 Please with this, though must admit I am slacking on the logging and exercise. If only I could always be "in the zone" - it would be so much easier! :wink: And thank you for you kind words regarding the quilt (and cat!). I enjoy doing it, but must admit I am not very…

Hi everyone. Love the idea of the 5k walk - I plan to do this on Thursday - looking forward to trying to get some good pictures (though it will be an evening walk and likely dark outside). This past weekend my exercising schedule has been pushed assign as i got into a bit of a crafting project. I have decided to use up my…

Freeglerock Week 2 PW: 169.6 CW: 171.6 LTD: 46.9 Up, down, up down, and back up again. That is exactly what my weight is doing at the moment! My "excuse" this week is that it was my birthday on Monday, and I enjoyed chocolates, prosecco and a Lebanese take away!

Freeglerock Week 1 PW: 171.8 CW: 169.6 LTD: 48.9 Last week saw a weight increase of about 2lb as I took the week off tracking whilst kids had half term and we did lots of fun activities and outings. I did not want the stress of figuring out calories and how to counteract them/earn them. Our "fun" continued, with a trip to…

Freeglerock Week 4 PW: 169.7 CW: 171.8 LTD: 46.7 So, tracking has been out of the window since Friday when I went out for dinner and cocktails with my neighbour. This week is half term, so I have taken time off work to do fun stuff with the kids, which has resulted in a lot of eating out. I'm not worrying about it though,…

@1theresamcvean How sad, I'm so sorry. xx @sleepymom5 Hoping the pain subsides soon.
