The Counts Diet Support Thread

are you the same size by measurement though?

To be honest I haven't measured, I do feel firmer but it is very frustrating. I was told that when I do more miles the weight will drop off as long as I am careful with my eating.

it doesnt for all of us
also-one tends to eat a bit more without relising-running makes you hungry

gill you sound like me
about 15-20m a week
I'm a tad slower at about 12mm pace
2st over .. well was
I joined WW ... no it's not designed for runners and doesn't really suit long runs but at our mileage it does work
it also makes you realise portion control and notice snacks more
there is a thread on beginners called For Me .... that is for dieters and a lot of ww people on there.
why not ask for advice
I also thought that 15-20m a week and it would drop but at 100 cals per 1m that's only 1500-2000 cals used up and 1lb of fat is 3500cals so you do need to watch your intake too!
But stick with it!

Thanks I need to get a grip cause I know that extra weight chugging round is slowing me down!

I'm at least half a stone lighter than Jan and did a half PB yesterday despite very little training
I know I maintained CV fitness with swimming but I do think the weight lose helped too!

well it does
even 30 mpw didnt help me lose anty weight
mind you
i am a pig

nope benz you love food and enjoy it and the gin too!

well - I've been off the booze for two months, been running again for nearly a month. Weight loss - one. flippin'. pound.
But me jeans are comfy again.

;o)

ah booze
yes
ahem

Why do they like it in the bottom of the wardrobe?

it's sequit'u'r

honest, I had to look it up but it is.

I think it's all water loss as have been injured with shin splints. Am doing plenty of walking and think I might get out on my bike. I am trying to 'listen to my body' and cut out excessive eating. Still as flabby as ever... My clothes are comfortable again though, which is a bonus.

Will this be slowing my metabolism down? Will it be ok as I slowly pick the running back up?? Is my body just returning to 'set point' (if there is such a thing) after 6 months of excessive eating?!

what happened there!!

goodness. Anyone would think you'd run non-stop for 12 hours at the weekend or something.

Stayed the same which I'm okay with after this week. Feeling motivated & the running is going well so target of 2lb off next week.
