"Take some consolation that it takes 3500 calories above your maintenance to put on a pound in weight..."
I think I ate 3500 calories in biscuits alone today. Back on the grapefruit tomorrow  |

I started back at the gym, walked here there and everywhere in a hurry today, and had a chicken salad for tea. I had lost 3st 13lb, but weight has crept back up, so over all 3 stone 5 off so far. Giving myself 10 weeks to loose the next 23lb. |

On a postive note I've hauled my arse down the gym & asked to be booked in for a PT session as I need to find a work around whilst my foot is still dodgy.  |

I'm taking a break both from the fasting and the gym. Just too much on at the mo. However I haven't put any weight on (yet) so happy about that. I'll be back at it after Swingfields. |

To me it's a necessary evil as I'm in need of fat shifting & toning.

see I hate the gym, I never stick with it, I do exercise, I ride my bike around 30 miles a day and I go jogging with the dogs daily as I enjoy both so both keep me motivated
it just suprised me how everybody who decided to loose weight or get fit join the gym when there are so many other options out there
surely they can't all enjoy it? |

No, they don't. But everyone is different. I can't run (dodgy knees), don't have a bike or dogs, and need to be shouted at to get moving. So paying someone else to shout is the best solution for me. |

I've never been able to motivate myself in a gym. Cycling in the great outdoors or chasing a ball around a court or pitch keep me fit cos I forget I'm getting knackered |

I'm much prefer to run or cycle outside particularly at this time of year. The gym is a necessary evil fir core work and interval training. I do enjoy it it's just that there are other things I'd rather do |

Four spin classes and a session of body balance this week.
Nothing like throwing yourself in at the deep end to rehab an injury.

Yes there are as well like nuts or almonds those things high in calories, I do switch it from time to time.

Glad to hear people enjoy the gym. I haven't joined one but probably will when the weather changes in the winter months. I have been a member at a gym before and do enjoy it but it's the getting motivated to actually go that's my problem. Wish there was one really close! Part of the thing I like about jogging in the park is that I can just stumble home and jump in the shower! |

P.s. Two miles this morning which is furthest I've managed yet, I only started jogging a few short weeks ago and missed a week of that due to bike related injury it wasn't two miles of solid jogging but my walking moments were short! |

I seem to have hit a brick wall, with weight loss for the past 3 weeks. It's disheartened me slightly. Exercise is going great - cycling, cardio, weights , boxicise. I've just added swimming in, as maybe I need a change exercise wise. Still doing high protein, low carbs and hoping that If I plan all my meals this week it will kick start the weight loss again. |

Finished a clean(ish) bulk about 6 weeks ago... cutting is murder and a bit demoralising at first, its getting better as my definition picks up. I'm keeping increasing the weight Im lifting and should be at a point where Im happy to eat at maintenance from mid Aug. Looking forward to getting back to slow bulk come October though |

I've managed to put on 1.5 stone in around 6 months. None of it is muscle (the majority being belly fat) but as someone who has always been very slim and never been able to bulk I'm actually rather pleased.
I'm going to carry on eating pork pies for around another 0.5 stone and then hit the weights/protein shakes. The little intense physical exertion I've done in the last 10 years (mainly things like moving house)made me look toned for days so I imagine my body will react well to it all.
Next summer I'll either have a dad bod or be taking shape nicely. Going by how much discipline I have it will most likely be the former. |

I'm still porking out a bit, but have don't seem to have put too much back on. 5 weeks till I go on holiday so I'll get cracking again and see if I can lose another 1/2 stone for that |

No it's not! Had to remind myself why I'm doing this the other week when a thing from a few years ago came up on timehop saying I'd lost 1.5 stone in 5 weeks on slimming world. It's taken me almost three months to lose this by just eating a healthy balanced diet and exercising like mad. But I feel so much better in myself for doing it this way. I'm more active now than I ever have been! |

I think it's a better way to lose weight the way you are now as opposed to SW/WW.
Having done both over the last 20 years or so I've lost more weight by eating healthily, cutting out the crap & exercising more.
It comes off quickly with those programmes but I find over time it's hard to maintain and I end up not only putting the weight I lost back but more.
Well done with the 5k, you'll be running it all very soon I'm sure. |

"That's really great! Hats off to your determination. How did you do it? "
hard work, but the main factor was I just didn't want to be fat anymore. I will still be plump after another stone but if I then lose another 10lb I will be height weight proportionate for the first time in my life, but I don't want to look gaunt so will see what I look like after another stone.
There is a down side though as at the moment I am suffering with slight body dysmorphia, I look a lot bigger than I am to myself I think I'm still about 4 stone heavier than I am but apparently it takes awhile for your brain to catch up.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure what we see in the mirror is never what others see either. Well done you, I need to pull my finger out again with that whole diet/exercise malarkey. Good luck with the last part, sometimes that's the toughest but to lose but you've done amazingly well so far so don't give yourself grief about the target. You'll get there. Well impressed. |

Quite a lot, on paper I probably would need to lose what you have but I'd be happy with losing another 6 or 7 I think. Every bit I lose feels good though and I'm really enjoying running, cycling and all the other activities I'm doing |

I did Race The train in Wales on Saturday. Longest race I've done since Brighton Marathon, slightly longer tgan a half and one of the toughest races I've ever done.
Hampered by stomach problems, not sure which I was happier to see, the steam train or a portaloo at 6 miles!
Next stop Farnham Pilgrim Marathon, one of the toughest events in the south east, it's going to hurt! |

Breakfast was a slimming world one of broken weetabix, natural yoghurt and apricots which I wasn't too keen on and dinner was chicken based pizzas which were superb.
Gonna start running again at the weekend too |

Well after the scales not moving for 4 weeks, I've now lost another 4lb this week.
14s are all fitting me lovely apart from two denim skirts that hang of me  so it seems I'm a size 12 in denim, size 14 tops are very loose and have one size 12.
So 11lb to go to target and would be nice to be in a comfortable 12 in everything but will see what I settle at.
Total weight loss to date 10 stone 10lb exactly the same amount as I actually weigh now |

I'm going backwards again
Really struggled at parkrun this morning and have no idea how I'm going to manage a 10k next weekend let alone 3 in the next 4 weeks!!!
My ankles really hurt....not the joints but the muscles on the outside and up my legs. My arches also ache now so I'm wondering if I need more support in my trainers. Will go to my local running shop and get it checked. |

Was supposed to do a 100 mile ride Sunday, decided to do the 100km one instead. Had clocked up 82miles when I got home. Turns out that a 30 miles a day roundtrip commuting doesn't give you the endurance ofr those sort of miles. Last few miles were grim! |

"I can now shoulder press 150kgs for 10 reps, its the max weight on the stack lol. I recon my one rep max might be around 160kgs."
That is impressive.
I'm surprisingly happy ; 3 weeks into my pct and I'm maintaining my lifts quite well . Dropped 3/4 reps but not had to lighten anything, infact some moves; reverse curl , shrugs, are still reping out at 15 , so I've managed to increase them... That said, it's two and a half months till my next cycle. That's plenty of time to fuck it up |

As long as the sun shines you cannot press 150 for 10
I know a real bodybuilder who does strong man and is 20 stone and he couldn't do that.
Looking at you,60kg for 10 max |

Read his post - he is referring to the OHP machine - the pulleys etc on those things mean that the weight on the stack never translates to the actual weight you are pressing.
I'd doubt him too if he was talking about a bar and 7 plates..
Thats just about my squat 1RM... |

YEs laoding a bar with 7 plates would be to heavy, it depends what machine and with the ease of it. |

YEs that's good going, shrugs are fun to do for the shoulders with high reps. |

"Had a terrible couple of weeks and totally need to get back on it but lacking the motivation "
We could motivate each other? 
I've shockingly put back on 6 lbs since I stopped my healthy eating back in may! Feeling totally disgusted with myself so I'm back on it! First week back, so hope to report a loss next week.... |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
"The countdown has begun, only 6lb to go to the personal target I've set myself, which will bring weight loss to 11 and half stone.
Coming of much slower now though "
Well done!
I agree it gets harder the smaller the weightloss needed. I am really struggling to lose the last 12lbs I want to lose. |

but think 12lb and that's all there is to go. I've given myself to the end of October to lose it and that means I've done it in exactly two years which I wanted to do.
How much you lost now? |

I originally wanted to lose it by Oct 23rd but that's not going to happen, so will aim for Xmas. The problem is, with all the travelling and staying in hotels I do now, I don't have chance to get to a gym as much. And eating out reduces my chances of being sensible.
Having said that, I've lost just over two stone since last Xmas, so not too bad at all. (Though not quite as amazing as Diamonds loss ) |

2 stone is brilliant and its not about how big the loss, its about succeeding at what you want to lose. I've only lost that much cause I was such a heiffer. I will always be a little bit chubby but that will be my choice, |

"I may have entered an ultra-marathon today purely because I saw a picture of the medal and need it in my life"
Is that the 70 mile one?
Couple of the fitness junkies at my work did the one from Carlisle to Newcastle recently... it was tough by the sounds of it. |

This one is 6 hours and run as far as many 6 mile laps as possible. I'll aim for 30 miles but thankfully will get the medal even if I only do one!
One of my friend's did a 100 mile one earlier this year - utterly mental! |

Lifts improving but I ended up sacking off the gym last week and sleeping nearly 13 hours a day :/ |

Things have skipped slightly with the running (although have done 3 10k's in a month and another in a couple of weeks!). I have signed up to do some cross country league with the club though and I have big plans for next year so need to get my arse in gear!
Have joined SW and lost 8 lb in 4 weeks which averages out at 2lb a week so am happy with that (not looking forward to weigh in tonight though thanks to lack of will power and organising a macmillan morning!!) |

Still got 6lb to go to my personal target, bloody hard to shift this last little bit, but in the last couple of weeks everything I've bought or tried on is now a size 12 and I'm actually daring to take size 12s in the changing room I'm really hoping to lose it by the end of October as I have a medical then and it means I will have been on my weight loss programme exactly two years, oh how my life has changed |

well done Evie, my friend has rejoined and I see they have changed the plan again. It really is such a good diet, even though I don't do it anymore |
