Morning Toby and everyone else.

Still got my dodgy knee leaving it until this weekend or next Tuedsay that will be about 13 days without a run, which is hard. Start swimming lessons next Wednesday evening, I hate to admit it but at the age of 41 I should, I haven't swum because I cannot swim and as much as anything hated the idea of being in a changing room with other people, hated how my body looked

But, another decent diet week this week lost just under 1 lb. I am now 9 stone 9.75 lbs. 135.75lbs/61.7kg. Way below my first target, and i'm now just under 2 lbs away from loosing 6 stone.

I have been dieting with WeightWatchers now for 51 weeks, and so have 1 week to go and 2 lbs to loose to have lost 6 stone in a year on my diet.

I actually started running in May, so my years running anniversary is coming up in another few weeks

Well done book trunk, that's amazing!

I've actually lost just under a pound and a half this week - my first loss in 4 weeks!

But...... I fell at work today and have spent the last few hours in A&E....no fracture but torn ligaments and crutches. I am so pissed off! Just as I was starting to see things happening

Booktrunk - well done you have done amazingly, thats such alot of weight to have lost your dedication is second to none I am very impressed

Oh dear Becky sorry to hear about your fall I hope you have a speedy recovery

Well I am still busy dog walking so running is not happening at the moment, but I dont mind as it gives me the same great feeling that running does she will no doubt have to go back to her owner within the week so I can get back to running then

Evening all

Well opted for a very wet and wind 20 miles today got home looking like a drowned rat so just a 15, 14, 10 left

Thought i struggled a bit today at times and got to just over 20miles and the leg said enough’s enough and i walked up the last hill before jogging home

But when i down loaded the run from the Garmin it turns out i wasn’t any slower than the last few 20 mile runs I’d done but now i am only about 10 minutes faster than last year

Hello!

Becky, that's not good news! Sorry to hear that and hope you recover soon.

Booktrunk - great work!

Booey - Bet you can't wait to get back into running. I'm a real grump if I don't get my runs in!

Toby - another 20 miler! That's some tough programme you're following - I'm only doing three as part of my Brighton training. Last one next weekend. Hope you've dried out now.

JLB - glad you're doing OK and things seem to be going well.

12 mile run for me today, along a stunningly sunny estuary cycletrack. The estuary was like a millpond. Best run of the year, weatherwise. Last heavy week of marathon training ahead, then it's the slow taper down to Brighton. Four weeks today, it'll all be over and I'll be looking for another challenge!

morning all

well of to W/W later hoping to have put some weight on this week as at one stage last week after my run i was down to a worrying 9st 9bls nearly a 1st under what i wanted to be so have had to up my meal sizes over the weekend to try to put some weight back on and up my Pro point allowance

running wise have an 11 and 2x 5miles then 15 on Friday the O/H and myself are of up to Leicester on Friday so we can do a 20 mile run with my daughter then the taper starts for me as well

Toby you are seriously awesome is that the pace you want to run as that's quite a lot under 4h? Are you considering upping it slightly or going to smash through and obliterate 4h as a barrier?

Wish me luck everyone. Tomorrow morning is the big event... I started my dieting 21st March 2012. Tomorrow morning is last day of my 1st year on WeightWatchers....

So I began at 99.3kg 218.x lbs.

I've been trying hard again this week after being relaxed on maintenance for last 19 weeks. I'm really excited that I might hit the 6 stone loss mark. I'm 41 and think that I am the lightest I've ever been as an adult now. But, I'm really desperate for neatness to hit the 6stone loss rather than 5st 12lbs or 5st 13lbs.

I want to run around to all my friends and colleagues that laughed when I said I'd get fit, run a marathon, and loose a load of weight.

I'm almost to excited to sleep tonight see you tomorrow.

Booktrunk well done you i don't know about me being awesome 6st and a year at weight watchers the some going as for the pace i am hoping to keep that up or i might try and tag along with the 4 hr pacer for as long as i can

booktrunk

20/03/2013 at 08:01

Hurrah I smashed through it

Total loss in my first year 85 lbs 6st1lb. 38.6kg.

I ended up loosing 3lbs this week. I really should be content now, but there is that little nagging thing at the back of my head saying sub 9 would be awesome. Hehe, but 133 lbs 9st 7 is way lower than I dreamed I could get to. I think I'll try to spend a month just hovering and see if I can tone my body a bit more around this weight.

Booktrunk. Amazing. Huge congratulations - that's such good news.

Toby - 8.33? Good effort! Good luck with the last looooong run before the taper. Do you know what sort of pace the 4hr pacer will be running? Had my race number today and it appears I'm in the red pen - predicted finish of 3.15-4hrs. Think I'll be v close to 4 hours, rather than 3.15!

Got my last 20 miler this weekend - thinking about the Llanelli 20 mile race, but the first 10k is uphill (a gradual climb, but still...). Anyone care to gee me up so I get my backside into gear?
