I would agree i wouldn't be nasty to anyone asking, am not that sort of person! lol but you are right and i need to start thinking this way to keep myself going because at the moment i will eat great when am at home with my family etc but soon as am in work i make bad decisions if grabbing a snack or something, i have been…

Thats it, i always thought i eat quite healthy meals (just alot of it and not ALWAYS the most healthy) so i just started making smaller portions, and putting more fruit it...i had always eaten fruit so thats not a problem untill i would turn up to lunch i wouldnt feel hungry so i would just have an apple and an orange or…
-
Very very true!!!!! after reading all this i got changed and went out running and felt great doing it, Just need to keep myself going in a straight line i think thank you everyone again!!!
-
You are right....as people have said this is a "lifestyle change" not a diet, i took the time to teach myself this a few months ago and slowly my days eating is becoming regular and healthier without me even thinking about what am picking up to eat! so once i got that under control i will concentrate on loosing some of the…

WOW! so many great responses here and yes am guessing the basic of it all is i embarrassed in admitting a weakness in myself i come across as a strong person and nothing gets to me (as you can probably guess things do get to me i just don't show it!) but you are right and i think from now on when i start noticing myself…
-

-
I can#t wait to be saying that!!! i have been thinking about ditching the car ang either running, walking or cycling to work this week, but it just isnt possible with having to drop the little one off at places before i go into work... so going to have to work really hard on myself and make myself go out after work or wake…
-

-
Thats great cmjsarmywife, great way to look at it all also! keep up the work though you will be surprised how many miles you get through!!!!! Hopefully i will get the chance this weekend to get out on my bike and maybe throw in about 20miles fingers crossed i get the time to do it! lol
-
really hope i can make this! going to be slowing down alot now as i dont have the time to run during the week, only have the walking i try and fit in (normally around 3 - 5 miles) fingers crossed!!! lol but you guys have been doing great! inspiring is not the word!
-
not been doing to bad on my miles, my food is a completely different matter though! need to sort my head out! Also most my miles where running, and some cycling but it is starting to become more walking miles! (taking family out for walks) but its something and am moving!! just want some decent weather so i can go out and…
-
I am ok with the logging, just havent done it for a while now cos i kept forgetting while off LOL but to be honest i know it is all excuses but i do little bits also i do walk for 30 min or so a day, do everything i can like that but i feel like am not doing enough and can't push myself i think!
-
go you!!! i think i might have come out the starting gates a bit to quick though, and doing some work on the house also am starting to ache all over at the moment, going to have to give tomorrow a miss i think might do some walking if anything! i love this idea was supposed to be doing something like this with work, as you…
-

Haha if only it was easy to explain puddings!! we kinda use the word "pudding" in reference to a desert of any kind ( you have breakfast, lunch, dinner and puddings) could be anything from ice cream apple pie ( or even another one people laugh at "spotted ****" lol) but then we also have things like steak and kidney…
-
thank you all for the advice, i think when i get closer to my idea weights i will need to look into this stuff alot more, but untill then i think you're right, i am not hungry am loosing weight i should keep it up!!!!!!!! when i burt over 2000 calories on the bike i had cycled 46k in 1hr 40min, my fried had a garmin hrm on…
-
no hrm, only way am calculating it is using cycle computer for my bike taking average speed/time and then work it out for my weight and all that, it isn't accurate i know but i normally underestimate it a little bit also calorie counting just seems to be so complicated!!! how do i figure out the maintenance calories? I do…
-
From what i can tell your net calories should never be below 1200....1400 if your male? but it seems am eating for the sake of eating to hit that, especially some days when i go out for big cycles, i could burn 2000 calories or so and i dont think i could eat 4000 odd calories healthy! i dunno, am going to try and keep my…
-
I see what you mean, but is this the net calories should be 1300 - 1400 or just the daily amount (without exercise calories subtracted?) because yesterday i at a daily total of something like 1464 but my net was only 388 :s
-
my daily goal is 1980, but i just try to make sure am always above starvation, but it appears the last 3 weeks or so i have been looking at the 1200 in the wrong place!!! i have been loosing weight 8lbs in the first week then 1lb's and 2lb's there after, i f eating the more calories a day means my body burns more am all…
-
am also looking to maybe her a hrm, but am wondering if it would possible/comfortable enough to wear one for the entire day (while am in work) not always but i do alot of walking, and quite active during my work and always been interested in just how many calories i burn day to day.....
-
Yes i do like it! i always used the wii for exercise games and got annoyed when it wasn't picking up the wii remote and stuff like that, so i went out and bought the kinect with biggest loser, and yes at first it was not picking up any of the floor exercise's but after a little moving of the sensor and adjusting the light…

Hey, i do love to cycle, i don't do it as often as i would like to though to be honest, i normally end up going out of a weekend early morning, i cycle around 20miles each ride...although am pushing it up to about 26-28miles now, and trying to cut down the time, did 26 miles couple days ago in 1hr 40min,! i have a trek 4…
-
I started reading this and feeling you should stay here, but then things get a little heated it see i dont know what to say to be honest just i have been struggling the whole way, my meals where never brilliant but they are not all that bad either and i can control the amount am eating in a day it is difficult but only if…
