Morning all, rest day today. Still maintaining the vegan thing but starting to look longingly at the lump of mature cheddar in the fridge! Happy birthday Maccy, have a good one (or two, or three....)

Good luck to anyone weighing in today.

Weigh in day today, but been good overall so am hoping for 1-2lbs. No running today, but will do weights for an hour or so after weigh in - will probably get home and eat a horse (sorry Redhead).

Still no chocolate and just the one cheese lapse. Feeling quite strong in my healthy eating resolve at the moment (long may it last).

Hi Everyone,
How do I join this club (apart from having to lose weight of course) LOL. This club is ideal for me. I'm 3 stone overweight and am having real problems losing it. I eat healthily and run 3/4 times a week and for weeks I lost nothing, I've now finally lost my first 5 pounds but still have a looooong way to go. How long did it take you guys to start losing the weight once you started running?
Thanks
Sue

Welcome Sue!
You have just joined the club! Yes that's right you turned up and that is all there is to it!
Well guys I went swimming for 25 mins this morning and since then I have eaten everything I could! Sorry!
However I have also picked up and completed the Reading Half Marathon application and I have some spares if anyone would like me to post one out BENZ!!

Hi,
Where did you get the application form from for Reading? I registered on the website to get one sent to me once they uploaded it but I've not heard anything.
Thanks

so did I Susi but I didn't get one but as I live in Reading I was able to get one at the local pool.
The SweatShop is organising it this year and the Reading shop has the applications so others may too... otherwise I can mail you one

Thanks

I'm aiming for 2.15-2.30 but Benz says she will drag me round in 2.10!

Morning everyone,
Welcome Susi, and HAPPY Birthday Maccy... go on have that London Pride, but just the one, (I'm a spoilsport)
I am going to get ready and go out a nice steady 5 > 8 mile plod, see how I feel, have FW half on Sunday, so I dont want to overdo it, but dont want to sit and do nothing either. And still no Choccie, hey this is too easy... I may decide to cut back on the alcohol, maybe down to 2 or 3 nights. But not tonight, as this is currie night then down the pub (again) oops.
Have a good day all... and happy dieting :-)

Hi all,
I am very fat today - I am having a very fat couple of weeks.. motivation has gone down the drain for some reason. I've got a 10K on Sunday too...oh dear.. For some strange reason, I have printed off an application form to do the Watford Half Marathon on 2nd Feb.. now why have I done that? Just gonna have some toast and marmalade cos it's raining and cold (yeah, as if I need an excuse!). You all seem to be doing fabulous and I'm very jealous! Happy Birthday Maccy!! Have a drink for me! Off to eat that toast & marm now!

EP, if you and Benz are planning to do Reading in 2:10 I will turn up myself and use you as pacemakers.

afternoon all

Happy Birthday Maccy! a little of what you fancy does you good - a lot of what you fancy makes you feel wonderful - enjoy its your very special day!

hello newbies - these guys ARE brill - I've lost 10lbs over the last couple of months and started running - and thats down to to the fitfolk - thank you peeps!xxx

Michelle - its no wonder youre feeling a bit low and demotivated after everything you've been going through recently so give yourself a break - I think Ive read somewhere that stress depletes serotonin levels (feelgood chemicals) and that there is a link between low serotonin and carb craving -(thankfully V-rap isnt around cos thats a bit anecdotal!)
'life is what happens when you are busy making plans'

weigh in today - lost about 1lb - bit disapointed as I have now run 3 x 25 mins but i can feel myself toning up - now have a big muscly bum as opposed to the big flabby one!
been for a 45 min walk - recovery from last nights 2hour training session which is very lower body intensive

catch you all later - have a good rest of the day
ps Sassie good luck for tommorrow

How long did it take you all to start losing weight once you started running? I've been running for 3 months now and eat a healthy diet but am losing weight really slowly. Have only lost 5lbs so far which yes, I know is the healthy way to lose weight but when your 3 stone overweight it should come off quicker.

Thanks
Susi

Nick, how mean! Does Bury have anything as yummy as Chorley Cakes? I love Eccles Cakes too. oooooh, stop it now, it's too much!!!!!!

Welcome you newbies and happy weight loss. Several of us have lost huge amounts of weight but are still struggling to get rid of the remaining lbs (or, in my case 11/2 st!)

Hey Michelle, don't worry love. You can't expect to lose anything at the moment. Do you know I put on 7lbs during my stress eating few weeks! I've got rid of 2 of them but it's such hard work.

Pix, when is Reading? Might fancy that myself.

SusiQ, don't worry. You're building muscle at the moment. The weight will wobble off. Just keep going.
