May 1st 215lbs

I was lying in bed with my wife last ­Sunday morning when she called me by a special pet name, a loving and endearing term. ‘Hey Shorty,’ she said. ‘Would you like to hear the patter of little feet?’ Taken aback, I replied: ‘Yes, I would.’ She said: ‘Good. Run down to the kitchen and get me a glass of water.’ Read more:…

I agree with cmamy, it only takes a little to set you back which is frustrating. I would be interested to know your diet AJ63736. Best weight loss I had was with the abbs diet quite a few years ago. Cheers harry

Accountability, as we are all starting out take some before and after pictures. Take some pictures now, front back and side and save them in a file/folder somewhere safe. Do the same 28th of Feb and then post them up here 1st of March.

Another good site full of useful info http://www.leanitup.com/ and from it this http://www.leanitup.com/part-i-nutrition-the-simple-beginners-guide-to-strength-and-muscle-building/ if you look at all four sections gives you a pretty good idea what to do :)

Good mornin you guys n girls !st dog walk out the way, another dog walk, C25K week 2 day 2, and a weights session still to do and a full days work! What exercise are you going to be doing?????????????????

Afternoon Boys and Girls, This is definitely worth a read, just for the 1st two pages about settings. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/819055/setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets/p1 hope it helps...........

Very Good point and to illustrate that, wife started a juice reboot boxing day and has lost 5lbs, I started a fitness/smoothie/healthy eating plan and have taken and moved inches around. Both happy tho :)

I'll have some of that. Would be good to journey with friends, all like minded. Lost 5lbs over the holidays with 20 to go bringing me to 190lbs of pure British Beef, I wish :) Add me for help and support back at ya.

Yes, add me too!!! Happily married 52year old going on 30, loves camping, out door life, skateboarding, weights and walking with the dogs, from the UK, down south :)

From Bournemouth, been on MFP a while now learnt some with still loads to learn. Its all good :)

You can add me too :) My goal is 20lbs by the end of May, lower my BMI and LDL Cholesterol. Not much !!

W2D1 sorted. Felt good although shouldnt have done weights yesterday. Thought it might be a good idea to split cardio and weights. Not going to happen. Will do them both on the same day.

Yep, being 52 I am finding recovery from exercise takes longer. Currently researching that nugget. I'll send you a request :)

Please re read usmcmp's posts. She has a huge amount of knowledge and proof is in the pictures. Lifting weights will burn more calories for longer than cardio. Cardio is doing you some good, but when you stop so does your metabolism after a very short while. Have a read of this, it might help.…

And I'm from the South West! You could do with a hair cut!! :) Slow and steady as they say. In for the long haul.

Came across this which might be useful http://weightloss.allwomenstalk.com/smoothies-that-aid-in-weight-loss

Hey, completed week one today. Feel really pleased although tonight ran on the treadmill due to the cold. And this from someone who said he would never run again after leaving the army! That was two lifetimes ago.

Thats a truly fantastic transformation. The result of hard graft and dedication. A big lesson to us all. Well pleased for you :smile:

Yep, started this morning, found it ok ish. The app helped with the headphones plugged in and some decent music to get me going. Roll on tomorrow for all the aches and pains :)

I love tea especially Chi, from Bournemouth or Calpe or Ruffec. Love my longboard, my dogs and my wife, not necessarily in that order, oh and my guitars :)

Ok, just wanted to post this up b4 going to work. Not been a real big fan of diets as I like my food. Believed in exercise and enough of it will burn anything off. I joined Friday and started on slimming world as directed by my good wife. Never went hungry over the weekend and have only done 4 walks with the dogs max 10…
