Who Is Getting Fit This Year?

[Nugget]

Well, I did another 3 miles yesterday, so I'm currently at 22 out of the 30 that I need to do to complete the challenge - couple of days off, then finish it by the end of the week

After that, I may actually weigh myself, and take it from there

What challenge are you doing Nugger? Is it one for yourself?

You need to work on the lifestyle changes at this point, as much as the dieting. Think about the errands you could on foot rather than in the car, that sort of thing.

Your absolutely right Chris, I'm not very overweight, well I don't think I am and loosing 2 stone in total should do me just right, that gets me back to my fighting weight as I like to call it.

I'm reasonably active in the summer and can easily loose a stone, so keeping it off for a while shouldn't be too difficult.

The problem arises in the winter when I'm a bit more house bound but one step at a time for now.

I have to lose a stone so hopefully I can lose that as well with the exercises I will be doing in the pool.

Keep up the good work everyone, seems like most of us are doing well. I think I have come to a plateau, as the scales do not appear to be moving. I am trying different things today, for example I had porridge for breakfast. Normally would have two slices of nimble with tomato and low cal cheese spread. It will be four weeks on Thursday since I started cutting down, if I can just lose 1lb this week I will be well chuffed.

Sometimes there is a stall in losing the weight so dont get disheartned tinkey as your doing fab and well done

It's the 30 in 30 challenge on the MapMyRun website - as simple as it sounds, I need to run 30 miles in 30 days. I'm at 22 with 6 days to go, so I may even attempt a sneaky (and slow!) 4 miles tonight

[Sasha222]

Thanks nugget for explaining that to me. Well done you.

[Sasha222]

Done nearly an hour in the pool today and walked half a mile after that. Feel really pleased with myself

Well done that girl! At this rate you will be entering for the London marathon lol!

I have my class tomorrow, and hopefully they will have remembered to bring the scales with them this time. I'm not looking forward to it, the subject is Move more -Physical activity , hope that doesn't mean they will have us prancing around like a bunch of whats-its?
