Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think my main aim initially is to get back to pre-Op weight - 54Kg. so 4Kg to lose, which doesn't sound like much, but when you're 5ft, every kg shows.

its going to be slow (hopefully steady) progress, my PT suggests an initial calorie deficit of 100-200 a day. If i use any of the calorie counting apps they suggest I eat 1200 a day, and that is not sustainable for me I'm afraid. I will need to plan more and *prioritise the protein* at every meal. I don't drink very often, so can't cut that out, I just need to be a bit more mindful.

As far as exercise goes, then I'm still in the two steps forward, one step back stage of recovery in terms of cycling and walking, but progress is being made. I'm also aware that I go back to work next week, and I know I will be very tired for the first week or so, and nearly always catch a cold after three weeks back (damn those germy teenagers!), so September is always a bit pants training wise for me.

will do my best :-)

I don’t miss new term germs!

Right been Sainsburys and bought 2 bottles of non alcoholic cider for tonight …. That way no half bottle to tempt me next week (planning ahead!) and an alcohol free rhubarb gin too

I’ve been losing weight with WW but blown it a bit this week. I think my issue has been I earn she’d loads of extra points through running (up to 100+ a week) then don’t want to use them so I lose weight! But then do sod it like this week and blow out. So I’m going to use more this next week and see what happens.

Todays run was short and slow as right calf very tight and wouldn’t ease. Not sure if this relates to Thursdays fall as that’s the leg I fell onto. My long run tomorrow will probably be a long walk to get time on feet even if not running.

Fraggle: You can only do your best and eating mindful is always good.

Pixie:You need to have something sustainable so no blow outs.Maybe use half the extra points better to have a slower rate of loss and sustainable?

Totri: Well done on loss.

My challenge starts 13th but I am sticking to my principles of protein and under calories along with exercise.I saw the 1st September as a fresh new start and all to play for:)

I’ve listened to the podcast this evening - turns out I’ve been doing it all wrong most of my adult life!

Well, maybe not all, but it certainly gave me a few things to think about.

Look he’s good at marketing himself and not saying it’s the bible but he seems to speak sense and I have always believed NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) is more important.

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs)
Just the kick up the (painful) *rose I need, lack of running and an appetite that is not diminishing has resulted in this :-O



Ok, so the scales say an increase of 5-6lbs but that isn’t the story being told in this pic taken yesterday.

My goals are to get rid of that 6lb by Christmas and to get disciplined with strength training, I need to sort myself a training programme using hand weights and medicine ball, no good letting those tools gather dust whilst I gather pounds round my middle!

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.

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?
