Another pound has gone-yay but need to be more vigilant with calories as starting to creep up on LSR days or MLR.

Anyone having Easter eggs?

Nope none for me not if I want to lose weight and if I want a treat I can have a tiny slither of my fruit cake :)

🎉 Well done WP.

No eggs here and my highest weight since January last year 🫣 so this morning I've got up early, done an ice tub dip and been for a run. I'm not rushing to lose the weight but would like to be back down those 8kg by the end of summer.

Sisterly solidarity, I’m also heavier than I’ve been in months. April will see a concerted effort to shift some more lard.

I shall be channelling my inner WP ;-)

I am touched that you think I am an inspiration.Keep at it no matter what keeping an eye on the prize.

Week 12 and STS no ones fault but my own,I had Easter Chocolate and a few more calories each day.No LSR due to Storm Kathleen so happy with that out come.

I am already planning this week LSR tomorrow and Saturday with a MLR if I can manage it.Calories back to 1350.
Let the games begin.

Bring it on 💪

I have no more excuses. We have just got back from the family wedding trip. We had a really super few days away and have been very well looked after. But home now so back on plan. It's time 🕰️

A couple of weeks ago, I set a goal weight to aim for and at the time of setting it, I had 10kg to lose.
Weigh in day and I've lost 1lb since Monday. I've been very focused and have been in calorie deficit every day since Sunday and have hit 10k steps, run and done 3 x resistance sessions since we got home. I feel back in control after a long time of playing around.
0.6kg/10kg down :)

HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
