Hello everyone, I was last on here about six months ago. Since then I've lost 12 Kilos...good stuff. I have however started to put weight back on due on the whole to a change of job. My start weight was 99ish Kilos. I got to 82 Kilos. I am now 87 Kilos. So I would like to lose between 8...

A healthy day today. Loads of activity and healthy food. I'm trying to think of a plan but nothings jumping out at me just yet. The last thing I tried sounded good but just fizzled out. The one thing I've looked at is called 'fat burning soup' - I saw it in a book we got free with a...

Hello again nexanelus, how are you? Still going strong I hope. Wait for it... 17.2 miles bike ride. This was with my twins in a 'pull a long' thingy. I'd hazard a guess that the 'pull a long' is about 30 kg and I know that my twins are 13 kg each. I am knackered and drinking herbal tea on...

Back to day one. 2 miles run, in the rain.

Hello again everyone. I'm going to have another go at this. I'll weigh myself tomorrow and take it from there.

I think this should be day 26. I've had a bad couple of weeks but have decided to get to it. It's been blow outs at weekends mainly, but I've not been watching what I'm doing in the week either.

Saturday - day 13 On reflection I'm happy that I've actually lost weight this week. I could have done better, but c'est la vie. I should be doing more exercise. I did manage 30 minutes heavy digging in the garden and a bit of weight work in the garage. Food morning - coffee x 2, green...

Saturday - day 13...I think nexangelus - 100 sit ups sounds good, but I could just about walk for the next two days. However, from past experience I know that this is normal. It should only take a week or two and my recovery rate should be back up to speed. I did about 20 minutes today. Not...

Thursday and Friday - day 11 and 12 -I think I'e got my days mixed up a bit :confused::D Decent enough. Good workouts in the garage.

Well played puggso.

Well I've been listening to... The Killers Spiritualized Polyphonic Spree ...that's this week. But, if I was making a CD such as yours I would have to add The Alarm - 68 Guns Death in Vegas - Scorpio Rising

Another full week without beer. ;) A bit to much red wine, so I'm going to sort that out this week. :eek: Saturday morning weigh in 89.9 kg - 197.78 - 14.12 stones Again I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand, I have lost weight...so, I should be happy. Given that I once again didn't...

Friday - day 12 Not a bad day. I did another decent session in my garage. I even did a bit of shadow boxing. Very funny when your listening to your ipod and then turn to watch your whole family looking at you. It's felt like another stop-start week. food multivit drink + ginseng and...

Thursday - day 11 Really good day. Good long run in the morning, about 3 miles. An hour in my home(made) gym. I did some online research and found some good exercises for dumbells. I was really tired afterwards...goos stuff. food multivit drink + ginseng and cod liver oil tablets...

Wednesday - day 10 A bit better day, but still no exercise. food morning - green tea, coffee, white tea afternoon - home made tomatoe soup with white baguette 1/2, banana, orange, coffee evening - vegatable lasagne, kiwi, grape juice, ice-cream (very small), coffee, herbal tea x 2

Thanks purple hugs :D (right back at you) No, not on a plan as such, more of an overall improvement to how I am with food. I want to eat and be seen eating (for my kids) healthy food. I'm trying not to be special and have seperate meals. My philosophy is...that if it's no good for me, then...

Brilliant stuff lou. Well done!

Day 10 - a much better day Run in the morning, about 3 miles. 1 hour in the garage gym...really worked hard. I could feel my whole body aching afterwards. 100 sit ups whilst watching old 70s football.

I've still not had any beer, but I can't continue like this and think I can lose weight. It's truly pathetic :sigh:

Tuesday - I think this is day nine. I'm trying to be honest and post really bad days. So this was one. food breakfast - green tea x 2, coffee x 3, white tea x 2 afternoon - 6 course meal in a local restaurant - soup and bread, pate and bread, tuna mayo and salad, pork in cream with...

Hi nexangelus, not really. I wasn't too well the other day but that's about it. :o I've got to get this sorted. I'm going to watch a bit of football, have a nice hot bath and an early night. Tomorrow morning I'm in business.

Day 6 - nothing Day 7 - nothing Day 8 - 1 mile walk...it's pathetic that I'm even bothering to record it! I'm not happy with myself at all. I don't have one single reason.

Monday A slow start to the week. Didn't eat breakfast even though I know I'm supposed to. Drank too much coffee. Really wish I'd stuck to not drinking...4 glasses of red wine :confused: Food multivit morning - green tea, white tea, coffee afternoon - turnip soup (with butter) and...

Weekend Not brilliant. I didn't eat too much, but I didn't really do what I said I was going to do. In honesty I'm a bit...I don't know...bored? We went to a paella evening on saturday food... sat morning - friut, coffee, and white tea afternoon - white bread cheese and ham baguette...

I'll see what I can do with the piano stool, my wife did take a photo ;) I'm enjoying taking it easy at the minute with the running. Listening to my ipod and just getting the whole system up and running again. I pushed it on Thursday, just to see where I was fitness wise, and I 'll do the...

No beer for ten days! :D Saturday morning weigh in 90.2 kg - 198.44 lbs - 14.17 stones I'm actually a touch disappointed. I'd looked during the week and gone below 90 kg. Still, it's a decent start and is probably where I was a week or so ago before I had a mental week.

Friday - feeling ill. Went for a walk in the afternoon with my wife. Messed about with some weights for about 2 minutes...pathetic really :o food mulitivit drink morning - coffee x 2, oranges x 2, kiwi fruit x 2, green tea x 3, fizzy water 500 mlish. afternoon - scrambled eggs on white...

Fantastique :happy096: :bliss:I'm running abround in happiness for you.

Thanks lou. ;) I don't want my kids to ever need to go on a diet. With a healthy diet and lifestyle...they shouldn't. Another good day. ;) 3.8 miles run in the morning with my wife and son. 30 minutes in the garage with the weights...:confused: food multivit morning - orange, banana...

Yeah, good luck. I'm enjoying reading this thead.

I'm trying to get everyone involved in what I'm doing. I'm trying to make it so that it's not about being on a diet. I want it to be more of a lifestyle thing. I dont want this to be about not having things...it's more of an education. So...the kids are getting used to eating bananas...

Drinking too much and the resulting consuming aftermath is without question my achilles heal. :wave_cry: bye bye beer...

Hi nic68...well done. I like that jim. My trouble is I'm never hungry in the morning. I almost have to make myself eat.

Day 4 Feeling really good today. 3 miles ish cross country...I can't work it out on walkjogrun. 30 minutes in my home(made) gym...;) My wife said I looked like nutter doing bench presses with a log and a piano stool...:D

Point taken kate, in honesty I was suggesting that people had a look at it first. I would imagine signing up to a class can be a bit much for some. So having a look before would give you a general idea if it was something you'd fancy or not. It was just a thought.

Welcome mate, I've not been on long myself...they seem ok...I think :confused: :D

Well done for keeping it all together lou. The job was probably just slowing you down anyway :D Good luck with day 7

Day 3 nexangelus - I couldn't agree more. Trouble is it's raining today...I'm still going ;) 1.4 miles yesterday. 30 minutes in my home made garage gym. About 25 minutes pilates...:confused:

Feeling tired but not exhausted. :D A much better day yesterday. :D Went for a run in the morning 1.4 miles and then did pilates with my wife...:confused: I also did 30 minutes in my garage with some home made weight type things and my dumbells. Massive thanks loopy_lou. Your word of...

Day 2 30 minutes cross-country. I'm not sure how far I went, but I had a good go at it today. Result - I felt much better today than I did yesterday. :D

I've still not in the swing of this. I'm sort of doing what I should be, but only just, I'm not 100 miles an hour yet. I had a really nice lie in this this morning. Everyone was eating pain chocolat and croissants. I had a run and then an orange. We had an afternoon at some friends house, where...

Thanks loopy_lou. I've only just logged on, thank you for the support. ;) It's been a better day today.

Day two It's not very positive but I said to myself at the beginning I was going to record everything, good or bad. Another poor start to my diet. I was too busy to eat breakfast so skipped it. I did go for a run/jog/walk, which is good. About 1.4 miles. I bought a set of dumbells and I...

I wanted to make an addition to a bizarrely neglected section of this forum. I checked out walkjogrun and mapped a route from my house. Day 1 - 1.4 miles. Result - Knackered. :D

Hello welshtigger. I'm new here myself.

Saturday morning weigh in. 91.9 kilos or 202.18 lbs. I thought this could happen, I asume it's just my body adjusting.

Does this apply to tea and coffee too?

Hey, well done. ;) First one down. :D

Thanks keisha and Irene.

Hello scotsgirl. I've just started here myself, good luck.

Yeah, I suppose I could have just said jogging. :) Hitting the road just sounded better in my head. :o "Well as usual I planned the morning gym session but other things, sleeping in, took preference!!" Rest is the basis of all activity. Well done.

Ok, so this is the maths. I've got about 12 weeks to lose 32 lbs. That's about 2.66 lbs per week. One pound of fat = 3500 calories. My body needs about 2800 per day to maintain it's current weight. That's 19600 per wek. So I need to run my body to a deficit of 9310 per week or 1330 per day. That...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Yeah I started one this morning. :) Today is a very easy day. Just breaking myself in. :D

Hello everyone. My wife uses a Darcey Bussell dvd, Pilates For Life. She also goes to a class, but I just thought I'd suggest it as an introducion. My missus thinks it's ace.

I'm new to these boards but wanted to offer a bit of encouragment. Well done, you're doing fantasic. Why is the exercise section on here so quite? Anyway, I've just uploaded the Killers new album and i'm hitting the road in the morning.

A green tea buzz...fantastic! :D

It's the midnight snacks that go hand in hand with it.

Hi there. I'm managed to gain 4 kilos this week which I'm sure is just 'water weight'. It's the kick up the backside I needed.

:) Not bad. Just fruit and green tea. My problem will be later tonight when the beer fairies want to go out to play. But that's not happening...I've got to mean.

I've decided to take things in hand as i don't want to be old before my time. I've got a young family, but realised after last Christmas (2007) that i was just too big. I jumped on the scales and I was 100 kilos (220) I dropped down to 88.5 with a healthy diet and exercise and I felt much better...

Oui ca va :) et vous? :) Not on any diet as such. It's more of a healthy eating and exercise plan.

Hi loopy_lou I just wanted to offer my encouragment. I've been on the green tea myself today. I know it's supposed to be really good for you, but it tastes rubbish. Still I'm sticking with it. good luck.

Hello everyone. I think I should have done this first, before staring another thread in the diaries section. Any advice, tips or encouragment will be welcome. Rennes

Well done mate, I've just joined up myself. Good luck.

Thanks tpott. I'll look out for him. Rennes

Hello everyone. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm a man. I'm not sure if you have too many on here (or even if I'm allowed), but...here goes. I've just had a really bad week and have decided that maybe using a forum will give me a hand. I almost posted something a few weeks back, but...
