Well done, great journey so far.

An easy pace 5k run this morning. I took an extra rest day yesterday as I had some foot pain after running at the weekend. The extra day has made a big difference and I would say I am back to 100%. Will pick the distance back up tomorrow.

Hi and good luck on you your journey :smile:

I’ve just started a 2 week diet break at maintenance calories so I’m motivated to see how I get on during this period. It’s the first time I’ve tried this.

Cocker Spaniel is a lovely breed of dog.

So what is your plan for losing 20lbs? Will that take you from obese to healthy range or is the 20lbs just the starting point before reevaluation? What is your daily calorie goal? Are you thinking about macros or just calorie goal? I’m asking because you do not seem to be looking for help or advice. Good luck on this…

Breakfast: 50g Myprotein Impact native whey isolate mixed with water Apple, Beet Root & Carrot home-made juice drink Lunch: Grilled chicken fillets & 250g vegetables Dinner: Battered fish and skin on fries Snack: High 5 - Zero - Berry Flavour Green & Black - Dark 85% Raisins, seedless, 100 gram

I wore a pair of 38" jeans yesterday and they were lose on my waist. Looking forwards to wearing 36" waist then on to 34" waist :-)

Saturday I completed an 8 mile run and Sunday an easy pace 6 mile run. Legs are feeling really good after a 32 mile week, I am still about 30lbs overweight but running is much easier now that when I started at 280lbs.

Zwift Watopia 18km Easy ride as rest day from running. I'm really enjoying indoor cycling on Zwift, it is so easy to jump on and do.

My Garmin watch is telling me I have improved my VO2 Max, I am now in the Good category, I started in very poor a few months ago and have climbed 10 points. Although only a small thing, and not super accurate, I am very happy.

I’m getting tired and I hope my teenage son goes to bed soon. He is sitting on our bed chatting and is full of energy. 💕

Easy pace 6 mile run this morning. Lovely to be out in the fresh air running again, 4 months ago I was depressed and not able to run a mile.

Running this morning I set a new 1 mile personal record and a new 5km personal record. This was a very nice surprise.

10K tempo run. New 1 mile PR and new 5km PR. Very pleased :-)

I would argue that tenacity, diligence and perseverance are individual character traits, learned though nature and nurture. Liking them to a mindset is more accurate, calling them an attitude is off the mark I think. Like all mindsets they are subject to change due to hormones, chemicals, mental health, stress, alcohol,…

I want to thank you for starting up such an interesting debate. I cannot disagree with your many years experience and first hand experience of people with physical struggles that you have helped change their lives for better. I would like to comment though as this is an interesting discussion. Attitude is not a single…

Wishing this virtual meeting would end so I can go outside and get 10 mins of sunshine :-)

I'm starting to feel the muscles in my sides activate a little as I run. I'm also more aware of them as I do yoga. A new sensation for me.

Just back from a 6 mile run. @drmwc - I'll try some easy yoga today - I'll leave the genital yoga for another time LOL. (I blame the spell checker).....
