Im watching what i eat and im running 3 times a week. Started couch to 5 k…

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you. Started an office job, 5 months ago after being a postie and walking 12 miles a day. Its had a huge impact on my weight gain. I've now given my head a good wobble and started making better choices, drinking more water and not snacking on biscuits. Its been hard because I could eat almost…

Jumping on the chat. I did 3 miles first thing running week 7 of the C25K, and I'll walk 2 miles on my lunch hour at work. happy Thursday :)

Happy ‘hump’ day. I actually got my backside out early and went for a run. For me at the moment that was a massive achievement. I ran 2.4 miles in 28 minutes. There was a little bit of walking involved Today I’d like to stick within my calories and try and keep busy. My hubby’s kids are coming this evening until Sunday so…

Good Morning. I’d love to join in. Have gained a stone and a half since meeting my partner... so we’ve decided to do this together. My ultimate goal is to get back to about 8st 10. I’m currently at10 st 5 Nothing fits me😭 Today I will stay within my calories, and eat back any exercise calories I do. Drink water Track…

My daughter told me a joke earlier. What do you call 2 robbers? A pair of nickers Made me laugh out loud!

This morning I did the pwr programme. 4 minutes alternating between push ups for 15 reps and 10 burpees Then 4 minutes of bent leg raises for 15 reps and mountain climbers 40 reps Underhand bicep curl 15/12/12/10 reps at 11.75kg Crunch on the cable machine 12/10/10 at 28kg Alternating bicep curl 12/10/10 reps at 8kg Then 5…

Super busy couple of weeks for me. I still alternating between Kelsey wells #PWR and stronglifts 5x5 Loving them both. Will update soon... ❤️

Good morning. First day of 2019 back at the gym! This morning I did the pwr programme I’m following which was chest and triceps. 12 push ups and 20 jumping jacks, alternating for 5 minutes 12 flies at 6kg and 10 burpees alternating for 5 minutes Pyramid 15, 12, 10, 10, chest press at 19kg Pyramid flies at 8kg 12, 10, 10…

Finally managed 77.5kg on the squat. Don’t think my form was quite good enough tho. Don’t seem to be able to progress on the overhead press and have stalled at 35kg... barbell row was 45kg which was ok. I know Christmas is lovely, but I’m looking forward to getting back to my normal routine again and I’m sick of eating…

Evening all. After 3 days off and eating nothing but rubbish I went to the gym this morning. 5 minute run 5 minutes of squats and burpees alternating 30 seconds of each 5minutes of glute brodges and mountain climbers Pyramid 15,12,10,10 reps on the leg press progressively heavier each set Pyramid 12,10,10 sumo squat @ 40kg…

@lkpducky Thank you <3 I think for the first time in my life I can actually starting to be happy with my body. Still a long way to go mind you. But baby steps eh. This morning I’ve not really changed much 75kg squat 5x5 Press ups x10 and 16kg squats x10 in between sets 35kg bench press and 10 x 8kg dB flies between sets…

Yesterday I did... 75kg squats 5x5 Over head press was 5x5 with 10kg dbs. I still can’t flip the barbell over because of my wrist... and 65kg deadlift. I did a few of my usual active recover things in between too. Someone asked me if I’d lost weight today. I haven’t lost a Single ounce so maybe I’m starting to look slimmer…

@lkpducky I came across it on instagram. There’s an app that you can follow long to. It’s called sweat. It’s a bit more geared towards women than the stronglifts one is. I’m still doing 5x5 stringlifts tho. Yesterday’s lifting... Squat 5x5 @ 80kg. Now, I didn’t realise I was doing g 80 until I was half way through the…

Has anyone done the Kelsey wells programme? I did the first one yesterday and I thought I’d alternate between strong lifts and her programme. My shoulders ache from doing it yesterday 😁

Hey all. Sorry I’ve been quiet. Very busy week! Squatted 75kg this morning 35kg on the bench press 42.5kg on the row. Yesterday I worked really hard and I’m sure I’ve found muscles I didn’t know I had! I ache everywhere today. Not that I’m moaning! Still can’t do overhead press, my wrist just won’t take it. I can do the…

Frozen berries, skimmed milk and half a teaspoon of sugar 😁

@lkpducky Thank you. It’s much better than it was, I cant do the over head press with a barbell at all, it seems to be the flicking the bar over onto your hands that’s the painful pit, not the actual picking it up. It’s very frustrating! I’m enjoying lifting heavy so much I don’t want to have to give any of it up for even…

Evening all. I think I’ve sprained my chuffing wrist :( Anyway I only did the lifts that didn’t pull on it and make it hurt this evening. I did 5 mins warm up on a spinning bike 5x5 squats at 70kg Bench press 5x5 at 35kg and barbell row at 40kg I did a few flies @6kg dB andsome leg raises. Gutted I couldn’t do anymore but…

I have a very bouncy springer spaniel and a King Charles spaniel, adored the pair of them! I’m in Peterborough, which is about 45 minutes from Cambridge. :)

Good morning from a very windy and drizzly uk. Enjoyed this mornings workout 5 min run on the treadmill. Squat 67.5kg 5x5, with 10 squats with a 26kg dumbbell between each set as my active recovery. Overhead press 25kg 5x5, with 10 incline flys 8kg dB between sets And 67.5 kg deadlift 1x5, my goodness that one felt heavy!…

Hi all, I know it’s late in the month but can I join? I’m really rubbish wth coming back and keep you all updated with any progress I make, but I’ll give it my best shot. I’ve been doing this programme for about 3 months. I don’t go up the weights every session, I wait until I feel ready and my form isn’t struggling. I…

@krokador Thank you for your reply, don’t worry, there’s no pull, I was just making a point of how flipping heavy 57kg is! I only weigh 54kg myself so these things are really starting to get heavy for me now. Enjoying it all very much tho. I did a very light (in comparison) les mills body pump class this morning. No heavy…

Hellooooo. Very new to this so still figuring it all out. Been doing stringlifts 5x5 for about 6 weeks ish. Had a 2 week holiday in the middle of that tho. This morning I did Squats 5x5 @ 52.5kg. Now I’m not going into a massively deep squat, nasty knee injury 18 months ago has knocked my confidence so playing it safe for…

It’s an amazing feeling :smiley: well done x
