Myself - I know I tend to over-eat in between after the evening meal and before bedtime, but I still fall for it and regret it the morning after. So me myself and I - am holding me back - and I know what to do about it.

If you try Ashtanga Yoga once or twice, I don't think you will feel like you need to look for anything extra.

Ashtanga yoga class tonight 75minutes - weather permitting outside on the lawn.

60 minutes fast walking on the coast path, stopping midway to gather seaweed for the vegetable plot and brisk-walking back up the cliff steps with the loaded rucksac and plastic rubbish taken off the beach to say "thank you". Then 60 minutes Ashtanga yoga at home.

Throw it out and then make sure you have both eaten before you go shopping next week.

go vegan; end of problem.

Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga styles of Yoga will build a little muscle if the practise is challenging enough and also help to drop the fat covering the muscles so they appear more defined without necessarily building mass - much like climbing. I think with both yoga and things like rock wall climbing you also build a bit of an…

I didn't start losing weight until I stopped eating after 9pm. Not trying to say that's a hard fast rule, but it works for me, mostly because late night is when my willpower for junk food is at its weakest.

Hi – I am Carl and judging by the other folk in this group and the one before it – I have been just playing at losing weight and it is time to get serious about whether I really want to lose 15lbs this time round or not. I do. I practise Ashtanga yoga and am around 20lbs overweight. I am 164lbs currently and would ideally…

Coffee triggers the need for biscuits and cake so I'd be miserable but lighter!

Congrats Joshua.

So - apart from 8 hours, where you are presumably asleep, you do all your eating while you are awake during the other 16 hours. how is that different from anyone else? - unless its the other way around? It is isn't it? :blush: :neutral:

Complete flippin' disaster this one. well no - that's not true, I didn't lose more than 2lb but I didn't gain any. Looking forward to the next round.

Ran: walked 7 miles on the coastal path between Mullion and Poldhu Coves, Cornwall UK and did some yoga on the beach at the midpoint. I did stand in the sea and if I'd had the time would have had a swim as well. Awesome way to start the afternoon.

thank you BBQsauce; back on track.

Feel like I'm wasting everyone's time on this group - although I'm not losing or gaining by much I'm just moving up and down a pound or two every week and I really want to lose this last stone.

care to expand on or share your wealth of experience and wisdom tigger, instead of just criticising?

Then carry on sir; sounds like you have a plan.

are you losing fat weight?

30 minutes and the time it would take you to get to the gym and change both ends (45 - 60mins then) is long enough to complete an abridged Ashtanga Yoga routine - all the strength and flexibility you will ever need. The entire session would take around 75 minutes.

eat less

carl is leaving the building, having ignored the massive coffee and walnut cake in the staff kitchen :-)

Week 1: 164 Week 2: 163 Week 3: 162 Week 4: 164 Week 5: 162 Week 6: 165 Week 7: 162 - going for a steady downward trend from now on ...

me: 2 binge: 17 days binge-free: 2 new to this group, so pulling things around - better in June.

As I am new to this group today, I could only estimate for May so far - so I would say: me: 2 binge: 16 days binge-free: 2 this month, but looking to change things around through this group.

- hoping I'm not too late to hop on board. 10- 15 lbs to lose. - motivation _ I want to be able to pick myself up off the floor in an L-sit and its got to be easier if I'm 15lbs lighter! - bringing regular swimming back into my weekly regime - I just got lazy and gave up going. - Ashtanga Yoga will become loads easier the…
