My target for January is 130 miles

7.5 miles cycled for a December total of 112 miles :smile:

Thanks. I don't think a triathlon is within my reach just yet - although I run, cycle and swim I do them all very slowly :-) But It is something that I would love to look at in the future.

I think I answered this in my OP?

I need to lose another 14lbs - which I know happens through diet, that is how I have lost the 42lbs so far. I also want to get fitter, I am asthmatic and really want to strengthen my lungs.

Nothing. I have been maintaining since December 1st as I knew it would be a hard month with lots of rushing around and too much food temptation. I have weighed myself weekly throughout the month, and the maintenance plan seems to have worked as I weigh exactly the same. We are on holiday over new year so I will continue…

I have my activity level set to lightly active as I teach a nursery class and so am pretty active in work. I walk to work and back most days (3 miles) and log that as exercise rather than setting my level to moderately active as it gives me the incentive to do the walking every day - I might cheat otherwise! These figures…

I would disagree. If you are calculating your TDEE then you are looking at how many calories you need per day. If you are walking briskly for 35 mins a day you will need slightly more calories per day than someone who doesn't. It doesn't matter that you are doing it every day as part of your routine, what matters is that…

10lbs, so a pound a week. I only have 14lbs to go to goal, so I will be quite pleased if I can lose 10 by Easter.

Thank you x

Great spreadsheet! I have entered my start and goal weights.

Looks good. I already do the Move Your *kitten* Challenge though, which is similar. I am also doing this 10 week New Year New You 2013 Challenge, which takes me almost up to Easter: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/10184-new-year-new-you-2013-challenge

Wow!

6 miles on the stationary bike this morning

Thinking of you tubbstattsyrup x

I am certainly eating more than usual and far less healthily than I normally do. But I am trying to do it within reason, i.e. not eating everything in sight just because it is there. I am also keeping up the exercise (I ran this morning and on Christmas Eve morning, and went for a walk after lunch yesterday). I just feel…

2 mile post Christmas lunch walk today

Well done! Your post has inspired me, I am roughly the same height as you and started at 210lbs, am currently 168lbs and am aiming for 154lbs.

I will log, in fact as I know roughly what we will be eating I have pre-logged some of it to help with portion control. I went for a 3 mile run this morning and plan to do the same on Boxing Day to counteract some of those calories. I am sure I will go over, but I would rather be aware of how much I am going over by than…

So sorry to hear about your MIL tubbstattsyrup. Christmas is an awful time to lose someone, my Grandpa passed away on Boxing Day five years ago. Thinking of you x
