I also don't drink as allergic to it.Alun also does not drink but will have a cidre when he feels like something which is not often.

I would say if you factor in a beer and nibbles it is not all the time but just limit the nibbling.

Veered a little off track last night, back to it today though, hopefully that won't have dented any progress this week.

Hope you're both going well

I am suffering with fatigue at the moment but trying hard although food is still an issue.I had IBS flare up so that did not help.Training last week was lower than normal so hoping to crack on this week if fatigue lets me.I missed my long run last week so need to make sure it is done this week. 10k on last Sunday of Month and not looking promising on a good time.

Great loss Lammo well done!!

I was off on Monday so forgot to update you all on my thrilling achievements last week.

Probably just as well as the scales must be broken because they aren't showing any weight loss.

Stayed the same, which is OK, i wasn't as strict as i have been on the eating, and i need to regain the maximum focus this week.

Gym work still going well though, so happy with that. Although i do have a slight back twinge, which also moves around my hip and hip flexor, so no squats or deadlifts atm.

Hoping that will pass with some rest and i can be back to to it full gas next week.

Hope you're all doing well.

I hate it when the scales break like that, lammo 😂😂 Gym work sounds good, the back twinge less so. Rest sounds wise, along with doing what you can with other parts of your workout.

I’ve been listening to Arnold’s Pump Club podcast - each episode is only 10 minutes so I am catching up on the back catalogue. He advocates consistency as being the key ingredient, even if you don’t do a full workout, show up on the crappy days. He talks a lot of sense and it aligns perfectly with what my online coach is telling me.

I’m incredibly focused at the moment, back to how I was earlier in the year - on plan menu, calorie deficit, high protein; 4 x resistance training sessions a week; cardio via Garmin 10k training plan - and all workouts completed over the last 10 days;
early to bed, early rising and planning my day so I can include some self-improvement/development aka learning.

I’m hoping the scales reflect this tomorrow 😁

Hello!
I hope you won’t mind a prodigal Fetchie returning to the fold.
I’ve spent the summer doing what I normally do - going completely off plan and ruining the work I did earlier in the year. Instead of waiting until January to “start again” I’ve decided to see if my can recoup some of the losses before Christmas.
I’ve just looked at the goals I set at the beginning of this thread. I’m about 7kg of my 10kg target down so far (having just about reached it in July!) I’m still doing 10k steps every day and I’m just getting back into regular running and resistance training. I’ve been eating properly for the last 2 weeks. Hopefully I’ll start to see the scales going in the right direction again! Clothes are feeling snug - I’ve put on 8cm around my waist so a noticeable difference :-(

GM : are you my twin! I have been listening to Arnie for months he talks sense :) I have also started the Garmin training plan but the half marathon one.

Lammo: Oh those naughty scales! Hope back is okay but if no improvement you may need to see physio as the back impedes on those other areas so be careful.

I lost a pound this week-still a way to go to be back where i was .Finally tomorrow I get my three week late jab-yay Also weekend away at seaside(Tenby) for 10k race on Sunday.But I am staying at apartment so I can cook my own meals so no excuse .As I will be focusing just on me it should be easier.

Good luck with weigh in's!

I'm also a big believer in consistency being key
