Despite not sleeping well and the horrible wet and windy weather, I went to the gym. I'm glad I did now :) I've done all my sessions for the last 2 weeks and am starting to get back into the swing and build up the weights.

I've had a nice loss this week, down 1.8kg, taking me to a BMI of 25. Tantilisingly close to a heathy weight! I have been 💯on plan - both with meals and exercise and it has paid off 🎉

BMI isn't 25 - I must have put the wrong height into the site at some point or else I've shrunk. It's 25.5, so another half stone or so to go. Again 🙄

Well done on loss GM and almost close to healthy BMI well done!!Not good if you have shrunk.

I always do well when on 35+ miles running and been on late 20's for 4 weeks so hope with feeling more normal I can get back there next week.

I don’t think I’ve shrunk; nor that I was overly optimistic about the height I thought I was. It’s easy to add an inch if you measure yourself, less do when a professional is doing the measuring and announces you are a dwarf 🙄

Hope you've grown a bit GM

I'm still doing well, and haven't snacked.

Lost a pound in each of the last two weeks, and i don't feel so massive, so that's good.

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.
Drink more water.
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?

Fraggle: TBC

1 x yoga per week (not related to weight loss but need to get back into regular stretching).

Lammo:

Lose 8 kg by end of year

Exercise for 7 hours per week (i'd rather not include walking, but am sure i will to start with)

How: No snacks, less sugar, more fruit and veg, also making better use of my time for being active.

Lose 10kg by Christmas

Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but it’s the comfortable bit I’m after)

I’m doing it by:

10k steps a day (I’ve just hit my longest streak of 18 days)
