Week off due to stinking cold :( but 2 more this morning so 6 so far, but the numbers should go up from here :)

another 2 today so 4 in total

This will help me focus, returning after injury so keeping it very low on the advice of Physio. Aiming for 25 miles [img][/img]

This! So cold But as someone else said, don't get complacent or it all piles on again!

Glad the move went well, I have been MIA due to school holidays, injury and life getting in the way of what I want to do - I seem to be back so here we go!!

All went wrong this week - Up 3lbs :sad: has refocused me for this week though :smile:

Another 1lb gone this week, exercise has gone to pot as I am now on crutches :( will try and get a couple of swims in this week. Can't wait for my ankle to heal so I can get back to running - Feeling very frustrated and fed up

Down 3lbs this week - Yay :)

My goal yesterday was to stay in the green despite being at a huge festival style concert - Managed thanks to all the walking and dancing :)

Good luck with the move :)

Very bad day yesterday - Line drawn, back to being good again for day 8

4lbs down this week - Yay :) first week back is always a good one though, so next week will be the test for me :smile:

Mini goal for Saturday achieved, goal for Sunday was to get back in a kayak and have a paddle, also achieved :) Mini goal for today will be to get some arm conditioning in, my ankle is causing so much pain, a walk is out of the question, let alone the running I was doing before injury set in :(

Mini goal today was to walk my son to school, I am recovering from a badly sprained ankle so this was a real test this morning - I made it but am suffering for it now. Tomorrows goal is to stay within target despite going out for dinner :ohwell:

Day 3 going well so far, day 1 and 2 were good too. Struggling with injury so working out is on hold, but eating is controlled. Out for dinner tomorrow night, so could well be a different story lol

Start a group and let us know where to join, weekly weigh ins and accountability - I lost 112lb by being slightly obsessed, have gained 53lbs of it back :( I don't want it, I know what to do and am here to prove it!!

Ironman mmmmmmmm :)

Motorhead - Hammersmith Odeon (as it was then) 1981 - Have not stopped rocking since :)

Linkin Park (most of their catalogue ) always run faster and lift cleaner when they are playing ????????????

Plain porridge oats - buy them from any of our uk supermarkets I have 30g of oats, 130mls water, microwave for 2 mins and then I add either fresh fruit or frozen fruit (stick it in frozen, stir and then an additional 30sec in the M/W) Hope it helps

If you are a member of a gym ask for an induction! Explain your back issue when you book it and they should ensure that the person that creates a circuit for you is aware and takes it into consideration. Explain to them what you want and they will create a good starting point routine for you. Good luck and enjoy the…

Sadly not just a problem on your side of the Atlantic, happening here too :(. Let us hope that there are enough people that care so the lessons of the past are not forgotten

Thank you :)

Dear NYE Scott See, I told you you could do this Now go party!! Lots of love Helen xx

Nicely said!! Too many times people say nothing in fear of saying something wrong - We should all practise letting one and other know "We've got their back"

I think we have both been having a mid diet crisis!! Right back focusing on the next choice with you xx If you ever decide to quit the wonderful world of law, you would make a great columnist by the way ;) Hx

Awesome work, fantastic change and oh my goodness doesn't it feel good to run over that finish line :) Still chasing the sub 30 min 5k myself, so I know where you are coming from - You will do it and the love of running will one day hit you! All of a sudden, mid run, you will realise that you are loving where you are and…

I started the C25K at about 275lbs, I repeated weeks as I needed too, and refused to let it beat me!! Good shoes as everyone else has said are an essential, as is a good running bra - But most important is a determination to do it!! Become a runner - it is a great feeling being out there, and you can do it!!

The trouble with life is that rubbish happens! The strong, like you my friend, get up, dust yourself off and go at it again! We are all going to have days where it is just not going to happen (my yesterday for starters) but the biggest difference between us a year ago and us now is that we know we can do it - We just have…

My son looking for me in the High St a couple of weeks ago and looking straight passed me saying "Where's Mum?" to my husband, When Ed pointed me out, my beautiful boy said "Oh Sorry, didn't recognise you now you have got so much smaller" :happy: It is funny how it is the comments of others that make it worth it!
