Thread: Alongwaytogo is on her way ...

I go every now and again. I see a friend of mine there who swims every other day plus water aerobics every Sunday night and she has been VERY large ever since I've known her- for 10 years. She is happy at that size. She is probably a size 32 at least and is about 5 ft 5. and has never tried to lose weight. So if she can be seen in a swimming cossie Rachel you should look absolutely fine . go for it you'll be ok

Please give it a try, you feel really good afterwards and its amazing what exercise you can do in the water!

I see loads of women, much bigger than me, and they've got all sorts hanging out, vets tops that show the tops of their arms ( i hate my arms) they were dresses and everything... I just don't have that confidence...wish I had!

I would never show the top of my arms in public, I hate them too. I think it is easier to go to aqua aerobics because I don't know anybody there.

Went to zumba class for the first time last night. Blimey, its fast! By the time I had worked out what the instructor's feet were doing she had gone onto the next bit. Looked a real tit, but quite enjoyed it.

Diet still going strong. Keep weighing myself though and don't seem to have lost anything since last weigh in. Need to stop doing it because I am getting fed up seeing no loss. I never used to do this, only when I got on the Wii Fit, now I am getting it out just to weigh myself, sometimes more than once a day.

I'm a terrible serial weigher!! However I now kinda disregard anything on the scale between official wi day - I'll never stop weighing but I dont let it affect my week anymore bc I fluctuate sometimes 7lb in a day! It depends what you eat drink and how you exercise!!

Just focus on wi! I'm not gonna tell you not to weigh bc that would make me a hypocrite but just don't let it affect you!

Zumba - I'm not that brave yet I'll stick with spinning lol xxx

I am forever doing exactly the same hun, weighing in the morning and te evening before i go bed. Have to stop its not good for me lol

I used to weigh a lot, until one day within hours I'd put loads on! I was gutted, even though it wasn't a true weight I was still gutted, so now I weigh on a Monday morning and I sometimes have a sneaky on a Sunday

Hi ya

Still weighing every day (but only he once a day which is a slight improvement)! Really need to knock it on the head. I am going to be busy all weekend, so hopefully will forget.

Aqua aerobics cancelled tonight, so went swimming instead. Did 40 minutes of moderate swimming and burnt up over 500 calories. Had a friend with me this time so talked and swam the whole time which took my mind off what we were doing and managed to go on for quite a while.

Hope everybody is doing well x

wow thats great, 500cals for 40 minutes!! Well done, and good on you for only weighing once a day, i have to try that. lol

Well done on the weighing, maybe you could cut down to every other day now?

Wow 8lbs is amazing loss!!

Well done on going to Zumba, I love it I go 3 x week mon, tues and thurs. The mon and thurs class is bit more dance oriented. Tues night is fast and high impact.. Really makes me sweat buckets.. But have no idea really what my feet think they are doing lol

Just hope that it makes a difference to my Tuesday weigh in.

Thanks Ladies. Will try every other day (famous last words.....).

The Zumba class I went to must be high impact too (well it was to me). Was really fast, I would prefer a more dancey one though.

Did you weigh?

Yes I did....
