  • I have many. My top ones are:- I can't afford to eat healthy. Erm ok so a snickers bar is 72p and an apple is 25p. Explain that to me again why it's more expensive. I can't afford to go to the gym. Nor can I so I walk in the outdoors. Started with just 10 mins a day. If the weather is bad I run on the spot or march on the…

  • Good morning from Nottingham in the UK, yep the very same Robin Hood/Sherwood Forest Nottingham. I'm 57 and very active. I cycle around 500 miles a month however bike currently needing repairs so using the car for the next couple of days. I ride my horse around 5 times a week plus all the walking/heavy work that goes with…
  • Two reasons for me, 1) I was at the top end of weight my horse could/should carry and I want to continue riding her and 2) Health reasons, I have a few health issues that could be improved by weight loss
  • I started a few weeks ago, like you I do each week twice so am at the end of wk 3 (first time). It's coming along nicely but can never see myself actually being able to run 5k. Just taking each week as it comes for now.
  • Bought new trousers a few weeks ago. Went back yesterday to buy another pair, same but different colour. None in my size they were all TOO BIG.
  • I don't have anything on my don't eat list as long as I am in a deficit, however I have found some foods are triggers to set me on a binge so I avoid them for that reason alone.
  • Nice, well done xx Always good to have a bit of a boost.
  • Hi I'm fiftyish, not sure about the fluffy bit and like to think I'm fun. Stuggling a bit to stay on track this week.

  • Me I'm Laura and I am in again for June. . 100 miles again hope to reduce my time.
  • Oh yes it's a slow slow process. Frustrating when I see others losing weight so much quicker with seemingly little effort. However I have come to the conclusion that I no longer am so bothered about the size of me but my health is more important. Earlier this year I told my husband "I think my hiking days are over". I have…

  • At the beginning of the year I was away with my husband in the Derbyshire Peak district. A stunningly beautiful part of England. My husband had planned some short walks for us. I was unable to complete even the shortest. I told him, "I think my hiking days are over"...... I think I was wrong :bigsmile: We have two holidays…
