Thanks for that Ravenheart have Bookmarked that one for a gander later.

Went to the free 8 week 'Weight Matters' course today. Was somewhat apprehensive about what it entailed etc. However it turned out to be really quite interesting. We were a fairly eclectic bunch (10 of us) but all had one thing in common, to lose weight. I was probably the oldest person there but happily I wasn't the largest. They stressed that there was no pressure to lose weight as that was not the purpose of the course. The purpose is to make us re-evaluate our lifestyles, and in the process change our way of looking at food and exercise. Too long to explain the ins and outs, but at the end of the 8 weeks I'm hoping I will have the mindset to be able to accomplish a significant weight loss this year........................ ok, ok but at least I am trying!

By the by have lost 6 lbs since last Thursday, trying not to get too excited as most of that is probably just fluid and excess due to Christmas binging. But it is a start. Just hope I can keep it up.

Zumba started again for me today.
It's briliant and really doesnt feel like you are doing exercise and is a fusion of dancing, aerobics, dance, and beats. See here for more info:

Good luck Tinky, You're doing fab!

Good luck also to anyone else aiming to get fit or lose a few pounds this year. Remember its not a diet, its a lifestyle change - something that keeps me going

Thank you Super! I think that going to this class will help keep me focused, especially on the weight part. I am now finding myself looking at the ingredients on food packaging and also I plan to do more walking. They weigh you and take your waist measurement at the first meeting, so although they tell you it's not about losing weight, you sort of feel obliged to watch the calories.

How is everyone else doing? Let's hear how you are/aren't getting on.

The latest craze at work is running for 30 seconds very intensely and doing that for about 4 minutes 3 times a week.

Apparently it is meant to be the same as going on a massive run.

All depends on your level of fitness Hal. I decided I'd try running on the spot during the TV adverts, nearly did myself in lol!

6lbs lost so far, with the combination of watching the calories etc on the myfitnesspal food diary and EA Sports Active 2

Well done Ravenheart!
I went to my second 'Weight Matters' course today and have lost 3 and 1/2lbs this week. Got to keep positive. I reckon I have lost 9lbs in total since 6th January. But I have got a long, long way to go. My aim is to be more active, hopefully the weather will be kind, and I will be able to do more walking. I find that when I get peckish I have a cup of homemade veg soup; tides me over till my main meal at night. Thing is not to feel deprived, I have what I usually have, but I just cut down on the portions. Seems to be working so far, long may it last.
