BUMP!!! anyone else want to join? :flowerforyou:

my calories are 1370 / day and i have to say i find it pretty hard to stay under my goal! Maybe its because im used to eating so much fast food that im still adjusting to eating less! personally i dont know how anyone can only eat 700 cals and not be starving ( i get super cranky when im hungry:tongue: ) but i wish at some…

i like the weight watchers scales, seem to be reading pretty accurate so far, same as the doctors scales :)

um how about this is day one? i went at the start of the year but due to leg problems i had to stop, but im offically back on the band wagon again! I walk 2 -3 time a week also, but not for that long, 30 mins usually! Thanks for all the suggestions :)

try icing after runs and lots and lots of stretching! i have a lot of issues with my ankles/knees and the stretching does help!

my fitness level right now is zero!:tongue: what i did today was ; 20mins on the threadmill at 3.8mph ( I'm short so thats as fast as my little legs will go without running haha) 15mins on the stationary bike 10mins on the cross trainer 10mins weight ( just dumbells for my arms) 5mins on the rowing machine I switch it up…

im done 3.5 pounds woohooooooo!!!! :happy: so happy with my results! looks like sticking to my diet and exercising is really working for me this time :) taking my measurements later so il post those too :)

well done!! :) my dreaded weigh in day is tomorrow, i feel i did pretty well, for once in my life i stuck to my diet! and i exercised 3 times this week so im hoping the scales reflect that! taking my measurements and my before pics tomorrow too :) hopefully it'll be a great motivator! going to the gym for the first time in…

i made bruchetta lastnight and it was delish! its so healthy and hardly any carbs ( i love carbs sadly ) then i just put it on any type of bread i wanted! i think it stays good for a few days, handy to put in a little lunch box if youre going hiking :)

im thinking tuesdays for weigh ins? I think I've done pretty good so far this week, trying to get in a few walks, even if its not as long as i have hoped for! Im taking my measurements over the weekend too to see which i drop quicker, weight or size? do you allow yourself a "cheat day"? or a treat maybe?

yay!!! well done :)

im going to try do a long walk at the weekends, 1 hour + and 30mins x3 per week hopefully il be able to up it once i have more time on my hands!

progress check once a week to see how everyone is doing?! :)

no one?

oh how i wish i had this problem :( im around 5' and could easily eat asmuch as any 6' man :S

i gave asics! they cost me 115euro, which is pretty expensive but i have bad knees/ ankles and fallen arches so I needed proper runners! im pretty sure you can get some cheaper asics though :)

i would say work out but dont continue if it gets very painful ( as in where you think you might have an injury) lots of stretching before and after should help!! i jogged for 5mins one day as part of a 6k walk, went for a walk the next day even though i was sore, following day i couldnt walk :( but i know if i do alot of…

count me in :)

count me in :)

im most definately in for this!!! ordered the dvd last week and just got it this evening so il make a start when i get home from work :)

i dont know if this is any help but theres a marathon runner here and his advice for anyoen that wants to start running is to jog as slow as you can for as long and you can! Thats basically what im doing, fast pace jog and im out of breath after 2minutes whereas if i do a slow slow jog i can do it for up to 10minutes, my…

track everything, good or bad!! it helps me to see my off days, things i can improve on and also what im doing quite good at! I see from my summery food diary that my dinners are good but my beakfast, not so much, so im working to improve on that and my snakcing :)

thanks for the suggestions :) The elliptical isnt a favourite of mine because it affects my knees, as does the bike (like i said, i have the body of an old old woman :P) Although if i went for a cycle instead of walking beforehand im sure it wouldnt be as bad, here's hoping :)

i find if i dont eat beforehand im STARVING half way through my walk! so i either eat my dinner early, then go for a walk about an hour later, and have a snack when i come home! Its usually either a small bunch of grapes or a yogurt. Some evenings i change it around and have my dinner after my walk, either way i need a…

i only joined yesterday, but ive lost 1.5lbs as of this time last week:) 8lbs is amazing!!!

i am!! well starting all over again :P im starving right now, only 3 more hours till dinner, hope i dont cave in and buy chocolate :P
