Back from Brighton. 4 nights of alcohol and food was great. Best chips i've had for a while lol. 3 pound gain so far I've tallied my alcohol calories to surplus 4000 for the weekend so there is one pound of fat lol. Back to 12st 2 but was worried it would be higher so i feel pretty good about it. anways i still have a week…

Thanks Banks. I was guessing that kinda answer but cheers for the backup i will have a look online for a bod pod test. probably they have them in uk somewhere i will look. I live in the second largest city so they should have lol. Thanks again Ben:smile:

Just to add also. Can anyone recommend Body fat calipers for self testing or I have a friend who could help. I keep reading about accumeasure being good but can't decide between digital or read-it-yourself ones. I don't mind spending a little if its worth it. Thanks

Hey people. Its all the same here I spend the week going between 11st 12 and 11st 13 but thats good so I'm happy. Worried slightly coz I'm off to Brighton for four days which means four nights of beer which definately means i will be up next week but nevermind i guess i will climb down again quickly. for the first time it…

I get this at some point a little every year. I couldn't say I have SAD but like many others the winter affects me more than just the coldness. I don't know why but this year I feel really good all the time down to weight loss and confidence i reckon, Hoping it makes this winter more enjoyable. I feel myself turning…

add me Katie. I said I would help especially questionaires lol

I'm sitting at 11st 12 which is my october goal so might push for 11.11 for the end of the month. all good though. congrats James on the constant losing. 21 miles a week is a lot. I'm feeling good about it all atm so I'm happy. Going to Brighton for the weekend next friday, 4 day holiday so lets say 11st 11 for that. only…

i have done the shred twice. well almost. my profile pics show a little difference. it really helped my shoulder muscles they look a lot better. I lost about 5 pounds on it but it makes you feel good and I got into smaller jeans lol. you get out what you put in with the shred it can be easy (ish) or hard. It burns some…

play on you iphone wooooo!!

I'm on 350- 400 on my running days. sometimes less if I'm tired. It wakes me up doing a bit in the morning. I have to remember to minus my Resting Heart Rate so the figures never look as good as they do on my watch. :smile:

love to hear about new things. I thought quinoa would be another eww food but i really liked it. Just need to replace all the simple carbs with better ones. I used to love white rice but now i try to keep it down

have only run once this week and that was today. W4 D1 managed all but the last 5 minute run. it was a mixture of wogging and walking but i have been offish for since the weekend. I'm really starting to feel better this week. so tommorroow will be day two. plus i have got to stop running up hill on the way home its killing…

Hey James 2lb a week is hard work. Im not suprised you are slowing down to wards your goal it seems that way for a lot of people. The photos are looking good so keep smiling. I stayed at 12 stone even after 5 days off work and two nights out so thats good news. woke up monday with a throat like a rusty pole and no…

11st 12.8 the lowest I have been since school years today. I know it rounds up to 11st 13 but whatever!!! I'm happy again. now lets go get mashed this weekend and gain it all back. wooooo!!! Oh and Katie I'd love to help if I can with anything. Im mad on questionaires if it involves them x :laugh:

that was my only point. nursery rhymes are easier to play, thats why i though i would check. i will ask him tommorrow I'm just not sure what to do for his first lesson. Here comes a new experience for me lol.:smile: Thanks for the replies too. it points me in the righ direction.

woo hey definately a good day for us two then. the 12stoners. well done. whats next. more challenges lol. Ben:smile:

*dancing round the front room* 12st.00 woo yeah. happy days though its the first time this week i have weighed it. I'm definately going for 11st 12 this month now though. But I'm back to roughly where i was when i quit ciggs!:happy: And James how'd you get down to 11.8 I'm jealous man! good luck on the last 8. :smile:

I miss my chip shop binges that i used to have every monday. Battered sausage chips and curry sauce. I used to eat way passed feeling full, now thats a bad habit. Now like most others i exercise potion control, i try not to eat too much at one time so i can eat lots of times a day. Well I've been told I'm supposed to!!…

tough decision i mix mine with a bit of sweetcorn and Heinz Salad Cream Extra Light (England) and then stuff a red pepper with it and it fills me right up. i use the one that comes in spring water or brine but the one in sunflower oil definately tastes nicer so i use it once in a while but it bumps the calories up too much…

my next goals are 1. weighing under 12st (168lb 2 more pounds) 2. finishing the C25K program (on week 3) 3. just to get to my goal even though i was unsure of its realisim. (9 pounds) 4. Looking in the mirror and thinking ... Yep! ... OK, I'm done now :smile:

i did W3 D! today and it felt like it was over so quickly. i must admit i missed the last two minutes of the cool down cause i was back at my house. but i'm ready for the nest day. been totally off it this week but hope to get my groove back after getting outside today. the weather is turning here in England. its getting…

not definate but sometimes when your body says you are hungry it can mean you are thirsty. i try not to eat close to or during sleep time as the body needs to digest the food which it doesn;t if you are asleep. The weightwatchers point scheme will probably be higher cals than 1200 but depending on what WW products you eat.…

no one has mentioned guiness yet. I really must be full of iron lol.

no probs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. hope you had a good night. I had a great 21st on mine.

thanks very much :smile:

bottom line is a calorie deficit means you will lose weight the other guidlines are just for you to follow. the guidlines have been set up as standard for the website. if you go over and your calories are under you will still lose weight but its probably best to follow a plan that suits you. at 1200 cals a day its hard to…

Thanks people. so after two days in october i finally move to 12st 2 exactly. I suppose my goal this month is going to definately be 11st 13 again. It must be the start of C25K i feel loads better outside running than inside exercising I just hope the weather hold for another 7 weeks so i can finish it lol. Amy- hope…
