ohh i might try that one x xBoth pieces of good advice.
I set smaller milestones as my ticker for myself - my first is to lose 29lbs, which will get me in the 200s. The ticker comes from Lilyslim if you're interested LilySlim - Weight-loss tickers
And don't forget to measure chest, waist and hips too - some weeks you might sts but lose inches
Those feelings do carry on hun

I do future trip a lot, i will definitely keep this in mind
I needed to hear this, especially today. I had one of those I Dont Want To Do Anything And Eat Donuts type of day. I managed through it all and didnt break my diet and got my work outs done which made me feel great when it was all said in done. I like the idea of knowing that those positive feeling will come and go....I will need them.
Thank you and I agree, I am much stronger than them!
Bless You!
I have started to do that after I realized that I am in it for the long haul so short term goals will be my main focus. I never though about measuring my chest, waist and other areas...that is a great idea and will help in those I only lost that much type of weeks.
Thank you so much for the tips, they mean a lot to me.
It's not easy but it's bloody worth it xx

How are you doing lovely?
Approaching your first fortnight now
I never knew that You don't have to thank us - we're here to help and support you just like you would us I'm glad you're still so motivated and supported too, sometimes people don't get enough support and when results don't happen (ie - it takes no time at all to gain the weight but it takes AGES to come off!) people get disheartened. It won't happen like that for you!!! I'll keep checking your blog out I always find a hot bath (as hot as you can stand) helps with muscle aches and soreness
Do remember to look after yourself though, if anything REALLY hurts - don't keep pushing yourself, let your body recover too
Wow Apico - 32 miles, that is bl**dy brilliant!
I am THE WORST when it comes to making excuses not to exercise...but am heading off to NZ in two weeks and my cousin is a fitness instructor so am hoping she will [STRIKE]kick my ass[/STRIKE] encourage me to get moving!
Off to read your blog now
20 mins later - wow what a brilliant blog!!!! You are one gutsy individual, Apico - so honest about how you're feeling along the way, about food, about exercise, but it's that honesty and your go get 'em attitude that will get you to your goal. And I love the sound of your family - so supportive, it's fabulous.
Never Settle!
At the rate you're going it should be dropping off as fast as possible
Wow! 32 miles is fantastic! Well done.
I used to do hot baths for sore muscles, until I injured my knee pretty badly doing Couch to 5K a while back. I found that I couldn't get out of the bath after I'd had my soak, thanks to the knee! Husband had to come help me. So my advice would be to make sure you're definitely just achey and not actually hurt before you get in that bath. :8855:
Well done!
Hi Apico04, just coming in to subscribe and say well done on your weight loss so far
You're still going! Crickey! I'd have collapsed in a heap by now
