Thanks so much Tinkey. :hugs: How are you getting on with the bike. Is it easy to use?

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

:erm: I think I am developing saddle sores lol! I've had to tie a cushion on the saddle. :D:D:D When I first started using it I thought all I had to do was just jump on and peddle like billio, but after just 5 long minutes I was completed kna.. well I was very tired, put it that way. So what I am doing now is gradually increasing my session and hoping that eventually I will become fit enough to cycle for longer. That is my ultimate aim.:)

I thought that it was easy as that as well but I suppose if it was that easy everyone would have one on there home and be using one.

Today was my last day at the 'Weight Matters' course, how soon the time has flown. Disappointed in a way because this was the first week I actually gained weight .3 kilo, but I put that down to muscle gained by using my new exercise bike (well I've got to blame something). Also I am vexed that I wont again see the friends that I have made, who attended the same course. :( I am hoping that we will meet again somewhere along the way if we all sign up for a similar course in the future. :)

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Well done Tinkey on finishing your course. Would you not go join a swimming group as swimming is a good exercise as well and works the whole body

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I start my quick fix diet on Friday. I need to do something, all this weight is killing me.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Good luck with the start of your healty eating

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I'm going to get weighed tomorrow at the surgery before I start, I just hope my Doctor approves of the diet, has it's caused problems in the past. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Oh what diet were you on that the doc wasn't happy with?

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I've dipped into 8st territory again :( Getting fit or even thinking about getting fit has been out of the window for so long now. If anyone say eat more cake etc one more time I'll............ (scream).

(I'm 5'10, nearly 40, was normal build).

Good luck to people losing weight though, I've no idea what that's like when it's a constant battle, apart from seeing the hassle and effort my wife has to put in to keep in shape. Not easy and not something I envy either.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Why are you being told to eat more cake? :erm:

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

The Lipotrim diet. I've been on it before, it's a good way of losing weight rapidly. I must admit though, I do take it really seriously and do go too far, losing too much, but it does give you that feeling of euphoria after 2 or 3 week of being on it.

After about 4 days on the diet, your body goes into kitosis and starts to burn the fat that the body has been storing.

One shake in the morning and one in the evening, plus as much water, black coffee and tea as you can drink.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Oh I have heard of it. How come you ended up putting on the weight again. Not being nosy so sorry if I come across as being nosy. Just curious that it didn't help long term

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Because people just assume I don't eat for the fun of it. So a normal response (even from GPs) is that they tell me to eat more, eg fatty foods, cakes, choc etc, but mainly cakes. Odd but there you go. I could probably eat as many cakes as I wanted but it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference.

Another thing that annoys me, I won't walk up to someone and say, gee you're fat, lose weight, but when you're underweight it doesn't stop people saying, gee you need to eat more. I'm very self conscience that I don't weigh alot, equally the same as those opposite.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Ah now I understand. I used to be really thin as well years ago. Long time now and I used to be told the same thing and even if I was brought into hospital the nursing staff thought I was anorxic and were nearly pushing the food down my throat and used to actually sit on the bed looking at me while I was eating as well.

I was a big eater and never mattered what I eat just never put the weight on and then all of a sudden years later I put on a stone and now cant shift it and now I'm being told to lose the stone.

So cant win :(
