I'm doing the Spartan race in Seoul, South Korea, this Sunday, I'm equal parts excited and terrified!

Blam I'm too scared to get on the scales this week!!!!! I know thats really silly and I should just face up to whatever it says but I just dont want to! Its TOTM - which always sees me eating more, the weather at night has just turned really cold - that makes me want to eat more, and my training levels have increased -…

SW: 204.5 LW 192.2 TW: 194.6 Hmmmm not quite whats meant to happen!! No real surprise though as last week I was really sick so was either at work or in bed and comfort ate for England! On the plus side I was healthy enough by Sunday to do the 10km race I'd signed up for and pulled in a personal best of 54mins55secs…

SW: 204.5 LW 191.8 TW: 192.2 The first half of the week was great, my training is going really well and I've been putting in some really good training runs. It all started to go down hill at the weekend though three weeks of being surrounded by snot ridden, sneezing in your face, germ breeders (otherwise known as my…

SW: 204.5 LW 192.4 TW: 191.8 Blam if you're not comfortable working out with your MIL in the house then I'd say dont try to do the work out when she's there, you wont get out of it what you want to. Why not utilize her, most kids love spending time with grandma, either take yourself out on your own for walks/bike rides or…

Blam Yeay you're back :flowerforyou: So happy for you that you're making the right choices for your life and that you have such a supportive family. I'm a bit late posting because I've been away for Korean thanksgiving but I'm still here! SW: 204.5 LW 192.6 TW: 192.4 I think my weight is going to pretty much stabilize now,…

Crikey that sounds horrid, hope you heal fast :flowerforyou:

Glad you just forgot....I was a bit worried you'd decided to stop! I feel like I've been eating like a horse this week, only being accountable to myself I seem to have given into the munchies a bit more!

SW: 204.5 08/13: 194.9 TW: 192.2 So I'm cheating a bit with this post by posting my weight from the last 2lb Tuesday post....but this way it shows a proper loss and if I did it from last week theres no change! Well actually in the middle of the week I was about 4lbs lighter because I got really sick, but then yesterday I…

Blam if it helps at you said you were spending a few days biking last week, I was the week before and also gained a lb. It feels really unfair but dont let it throw you off, some of the extra will be your muscles retaining water to protect/repair themselves. I came back this week with a good loss because the water had…

SW: 204.5 LW: 198.8 TW: 194.9 Yes! :happy: :happy: :happy: This is the lightest I've been since I ran the Seoul marathon in 2011! I've been 89kg (196lbs) since Wednesday - my 2lbs fat loss from the biking that didnt show up last Tuesday - I dont know what caused the additional 0.6kg to come off since yesterday morning, but…

Istarr09 You've been doing amazingly, just remember the more you lose weightloss will slow down. 1-2lbs a week is a healthy amount to lose. Maybe you didnt eat enough for your body to lose weight? I just looked at your diary and you're working out lots which is good but have a couple of days that are way too low on…

SW: 204.5 LW: 197.5 TW: 198.8 My vacation was the end of last week (Thurs-Sun), I spent it cycling from Sangju to Busan - including cycling to bus terminals thats was about 340km. I carried a tent and food, and I know I barely ate enough to reach my normal calorie allowance, never mind the extra 8480 calories I burnt…

I'm so happy :happy: SW: 204.5 LW: 199.5 TW: 197.5 Two weeks of not logging (and obsessing over) food and two weeks of losses, yeay! I have on a few occasions wanted to log just to see what the macros are of what I'm eating but I actually darent for the minute because I don't want to disrupt a system that seems to be…

My mouth just hit the desk! You're awesome, fantastic work :drinker:

SW: 204.5 LW: 201 TW: 199.5 :happy: Looks like my experiment worked :smile: .....or it could just be a fluke! I do feel like by not logging my food this week it did make me more mindful of what I was eating, I only ate when I was hungry and completely stuck to the 'Primal' principles (I'm a follower of The Primal…

Week 1 of 2lbs Tuesdays: 204.5 LW: 198.6 TW: 201 What is it with me and being stuck between 198 and 201.....up and down up and down....I'm like a yoyo!! This week I'm going to try a different tack, I'm not going to log any of my food and see if by being less focused on food I'm actually more aware of what my body…

Week 1 of 2lbs Tuesdays: 204.5 LW: 199.2 TW: 198.6 I had a great week this week, feel like the loss should be more but I'll take it and be happy and assume that as it's a small amount it's all fat loss and not water! What am I grateful for? I'm grateful that I dont let my weight stop me from doing the things I want to do!…

Week 1 of 2lbs Tuesdays: 204.5 LW: 197.7 TW: 199.2 Which makes me feel...... :sad: :cry: :embarassed: :mad: I'm such an idiot, I always do this - I have a good week and then go completely off the rails! I totally deserve what the scales say though, I may be exercising every day but that doesnt justify the 500ml tub of…

LW: 199.5 TW: 197.7 After a few weeks of staying the same I'm finally out of the 90's (I weigh in kg but convert to pounds for the group) wooohoooooooo :happy:

LW: 199.5 TW: 199.5 Had some really bad emotional eating days in the last week! Yesterday I gave myself a talking to and adjusted my total calorie allowance (up a bit, I think I'd gone too low and was in a too low/binge cycle!) and changed my macros a bit more. Fingers crossed for next week. I'm counting on seeing all of…

Well done to everyone that lost, you are my inspiration to try harder this week :flowerforyou: I'm going to blame the national holiday and resulting three days of drinking and socialising for my poor effort, hopefully I'll have an easier time of it this week with no national holiday and my weekend is revolving around…

Last week 199.2 This week 199.5...... eugh :sad: Still I know exactly what I did wrong....I still got the exercise in but didnt get enough sleep, went out drinking with friends too much, and comfort ate my way through my body weight in Pringles and ice cream!! Renewing the efforts this week, try..... 197.5 here I come…

Last weeks weight 204.5lb This week 199.2!!!! I'm so happy! I dropped my base calorie allowance from 1650 (1.5lb projected loss) to 1300 (2lb projected loss), although with the exercise I do my allowance is normally between 1700-2000 and I always eat that much. Last week I may have had some PMS water weight but I think the…

I really hope joining this group works....I seem to have been stuck at the same weight for ages! So staring weight 204.5lb Next week 202.5...I can do this! Goal weight 182lb Good luck everyone :)

Brilliant, thank you :)

I just finished reading the primal blueprint a couple of weeks ago and started to make the switch last week. I'd love to see other peoples food diarys to get some ideas!

I think my problem is lack of upper body strength - I'm a runner and a cyclist but never do any upper body work. It's getting a bit easier now but I almost dread to think what delights level three will offer up!

Day 1 Level 2 - ouch!

Just checked this out on youtube, looks like a great, fun, work out!
