I put 7 stone back on.... Now I'm walking myself slim again!

[bargegirl]

Hi All,

I have spent the last 5 years struggling to keep from gaining back the 7 stone I lost in 2001. Although I maintained for 10 years, I foolishly let my very active lifestyle be changed when I married my now ex-husband and despite repeated diet attempts I just kept yo-yoing in an ever increasing upwards and outwards motion!

I am now GOING to lose 5 stone (deleted trying there ) by eating between 1000 and 1500 calories each day, and walking as much as I can manage to fit around work. I got 17 miles in last week, and hope to increase this every week to eventually have walked 2016 miles in 2016.

Best wishes to all!

You've done it once you can do it again.

 

[bargegirl]

Thanks I'm sure I can, I just need to keep up the walking!

Wow Bargegirl, that is a good walk!! I like walking too and I like the fact that it is free!!

 

[bargegirl]

I'm building up to ideally doing 15-20 miles again. I'm very into the fact that it's free, as I have zero money at the moment as I supply teach and had no pay for 3 weeks over Xmas!

I like walking too but I can only manage about a mile before my back starts aching . My sport is swimming and I intend to rejoin the local gym when I get paid on the 26th.

I love walking. It's my thinking time away from everything.The only weather I won't walk in is really heavy rain. Don't like getting too wet.
Keep it up your doing well.

I'm rubbish at swimming. I either do a fast crawl or think I'm sinking if I try to do a steady breaststroke.

I've found my hip and back aches aren't as bad when I walk on softer ground rather than pavement, hard surfaces jar me.

I can cope with getting soaked on the home straight, on the way out isn't fun

No walking today, it's been a work day so no time. I've stuck to my diet though, not finding it difficult at the moment, which is good!

Hope you've had a good day too

Wow 2016 miles in 2016 is a great goal, good luck
