Oh lovely, I shall read up on it! :smile:

Aww that's great! I'm glad slowly building it up helped you too! I haven't yet gone out running, I need to invest in some running trainers and a heart rate mointor! :bigsmile: I'm looking to eventually try fit in at least 30mins of cardio per day

Cheers for the tips Davert! I'm looking to go back to my local gym soon, I used to particularly enjoy rowing and cycling so if I could get back into that it would be great! Yeah I've read alot about macros, my protein intake per day is pretty much spot on :happy:

That's great work mate! Keep it up. I like reading the success stories on here, it proves with determination and sweat anybody can succeed! I quite enjoy the outdoors, so being out helps lose weight too. I'm going to invest in a heart rate mointor soon, to help gauge heart rate and how hard I actually push myself :smile:

That's great Shannon! I've noticed I'm more flexible, not as many muscle cramps and even a better recovery time after exercise! Well done on your fantastic weight loss! Keep up the good work :drinker:

Aw awesome, I've been down that way a few times, I quite like the Gower, one of the beaches down that way got voted in the top 10 beaches of the world. It even beat Bondi Beach, Australia :happy:

Haha! Yeah, Bronwyn is quite a common Welsh name these days. The Cardiff accent is apparently more "english" than Welsh according to some people I know from other parts :laugh: I think Wales, especially the countryside is probably one of the best places in the UK

I'd definitely come to Cardiff at some point if you get the chance! It's great, I think compared to most cities, the transport system is well inter-linked and there's plenty of guided tours to see poignant places in Cardiff. I'd also recommend the Breacon Beacons which is Mid-Wales and places such as Dolgellau which are…

Oh really? I find most people to be quite pleasant, the language and singing are taken quite seriously :smile: I'd love to be able to speak more Welsh but i'm hardly linguistic and it's not the easiest of languages to learn apparently :tongue:

Haha that's awesome. I'm glad people see the difference between England and Wales. No offence to any of you guys but a lot of Americans ignorantly think Wales is in England :angry: I'm from the capital, Cardiff. It's pretty nice. There's a castle, the bay, lots of modern shopping and guided tours :smile:

That's awesome! I:smile: I'm quite an outdoor person, I recently helped out with an environmental organisation who remove litter and obstructions from rivers in my local area, pretty good workout whilst benefiting the environment! :drinker:

Hi, I done the same. I found not logging meant I wasn't as honest when it come to portions and noting calorific information of foods! I've recently started again (Nov 5th, 2013) and lost 22 lbs so far!

Last Weeks Weight: 191lbs This Weeks Weight: 189lbs Amount lost this week: 2lbs Total amount lost in challenge: 4lbs

Current weight: 193 Goal weight: 182 Amount lost in challenge so far: 0 :smile:

Hi folks, thanks for all the comments and advice from all sides of the argument! I didn't expect my post to escalate so much tbh :laugh: (Usually get ignored) :angry: :laugh: I am beginning to get used to drinking more water, especially when I work out rather than energy drinks e.t.c Although I think from time to time I…

Hi, When is the best time to weigh in during the day to achieve a true figure? Does it even matter? :smile:

Thanks all! Will cut them out and see if they improve my weight loss! :)

Good work! Closer to 19 than I am 18 :laugh: - I should refer to myself as a professional learner more often :laugh: Starting a university degree within the next year fingers crossed :happy:

Haha! :smile:

Hi, Personally rather than motivate myself that I have to exercise, I know I have to do it or I'll feel disappointed in myself for not. I fit it into my schedule. Even if you break it down into five minute chunks (1x morning, afternoon and evening) it will prove beneficial :smile:

If only! :smile:

Hi, I've just started trying to get fit recently (5th Nov) I started with a 5 minute cardio routine on my cross-trainer. I have added one minute each day. My goal is to reach a workout of 30 minutes in three 10 minute intervals. I personally think this is a good way of getting some fitness. It's manageable and I have felt…

I am interested. Not too sure what T25 is, I've only read a little about it!

Hi, Thanks for your response. I've already felt the benefits of exercise. I can feel my body coping with it each day when it was a struggle the first few days. I thought it wouldn't matter as two five minute routines add up to one ten minute routine :smile: I am using a cross-trainer, I find it beneficial on working leg…

bump..

Thanks for the advice it's appreiciated. I'm in a similiar boat with assingment work alongside exams in June. I definately want to lose weight as I feel unhealthy and tired all the time.
