  • Good morning!

    Make a note of this ... no matter how late you're up and about at night, it's easier to get your morning stuff ready before bed!

    Breakfast, lunch, snacks, get something out for supper, shower etc ... I really shouldn't be on the computer

    Eat wisely today and walk if you can
  • @SusanB - Yea I plan my routine ahead but every other day I am so tired of doing it and skip it.. trying to eat wise.. but I do walk/jog every day now..

    I can only jog continuously for half an hour, but I can walk briskly about 2 hours without any problem. I hope I will reach my goal no doubt if I continue my routine like this
  • That half an hour itself is kind of achievement for me!!! Really!! :P
  • Actually I have my mornings scheduled so I do everything at a certain time and I have enough time to do it - but that's just me and my OCD

    I couldn't do it at night - the only thing I want to do when I go to bed is sleep!!
  • Hello everyone. I've not been on here for a while - got down to 153, just under 11 stone in the UK system. I'm 26 and I don't think I have ever been lighter as an adult. I am very pleased with how I've got on. I have let my focus go a bit, which is easy to do when people are complimentary and say that I am not overweight anymore. However I still have a large wobbly belly and flabby arms, and I still feel that I am bigger than most women my age. I am considering setting a new goal but it's hard to pick a figure - after all I have never been a slim adult! Any tips are welcome.

    To lekshmiprasanth, I think you should be pleased with your 30 mins of jogging, it is definitely worthwhile. If you would like to increase the time, you could try slowing the pace or introducing a walking break halfway through - over time you can then increase the pace at which you run. But I think 30 mins is enough to improve your fitness, especially if you do it several times a week.
  • Well, at your height and weight, your BMI is only 23.3 which is perfectly respectable.

    If you were 10 stone it would be 21.3 which would most definitely make you slim, if you don't think you are already. It's a nice round number.

    What size are you, if you don't mind my asking - I'm in the UK too so you don't have to 'translate'
  • I did pretty awesome yesterday. Stayed on track with eating and ran 7 miles. TOM is passing thru so I was happy to workout when i didn't feel like it.

    lekshimiprasanth - 30 minutes of jogging is awesome> and like southofriver stated, you can run longer by simply slowing your pace.

    susan - If I fix my stuff at night it saves me a world of time but after I do it awhile I get lazy and say "I'll do it in the morning". I think I will make that my personal challenge this week
  • @cakebatter & southofriver - I run every alternate days since I am a beginner.. I make it jogging walking combination for one hour. Okay will definitely try to slow down and increase my jogging time.
  • Good morning!

    I've had a couple of days that were not so good. A bit of nibbling, too much salty stuff. Not bad and no where near as bad as I have been but ...
    I'm still tracking.
    Today will be day seven so tomorrow I'll do some assessing and see what's going on. Averages and so on.
  • I did pretty well yesterday. I workout for a bit....but I always something is better than nothing. However I really want to reach my goal soon....I am so close I can feel it.....

    I hope everyone is have a great day!
  • Yesterday was good I jogged for 42 mins, stopped at a g/f's place had coffee then jogged home, another 15 mins... food was good too...

    Today, so far so good it's only 9:35am... tonight the gym for chest and triceps...

    Yesterday I also made a veggie soup, I love soup in the colder months, I usually make a large pot every week....
  • Good morning!

    Fitday has changed a bit since I was last diligent about using it. I had to struggle to get the stats I wanted However ... it seems I finally have a handle on the food thing. Over the last week I'm averaging 1369 calories per day. Two days too high and two days too low. I'll work on getting that evened out.

    As per usual for me, I could increase the time and intensity of my exercise.
  • I have been very good girl this past week, just adhering to the calorie plan by FitDay and enough exercise :P I wish I could keep up my good work every coming week also..

    But couldn't increase the timing for jogging yet may be I need to work a little more on that part.
  • Yesterday I was good all around... I've been right on the ball the last couple of weeks or so, but still no weight loss and

    Today I will jog between 6 and 7pm then go to the gym from 7 to 8pm, that's the plan anyway...
