    September exercise challenge

    Even if it only tones, I''ll be quite happy with that. I need something to bring some of the flab down, while I do the weight loss by my food choices. And I can get other exercise through cycling & walking & stuff. (Once I motivate myself to get of my fat a*se!)

    Ok, I'm in. Waiting for my jiggler to arrive, but once that's here, I'll aim for that once a day. Say 25 sessions? And then other exercise, 2 a week. So 8 of those. And I should be walking more. I'll work that one as number of days I exceed 10,000 on the stepometer. Currently: Jiggling: 0...

    Yeah, but if you hadn't started losing before you went, you'd be half a stone further on again. So it's still a loss, really!
  22. Monkey_Monkey_Underpants

    Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

    I should think so too. It's most unreasonable that you can lose 5lb at a time! I need you to go on holiday, and put 7lb on at a time as well, just to even it out!
  23. Monkey_Monkey_Underpants

    Pesty's Diary: Losing the baby bulge

    I'm glad the scales have started moving for you at last. And I know you'd like it to be faster, but we do know that slower losses stay off better than quicker losses! (And you're still nearly a stone ahead of me...) And well done with the massive changes to your diet that you've had to deal...

    You will. Don't restrict your carbs too much if you're still planning on loads of hard working out, though. They always say carbs before exercise, and protein after. It makes sense.
