fight the flab

[Gooner Girl]

Why don't you take up swimming?! Much kinder on all your aching, creaking injured joints Or get your push bike out again!

cos I is crap at swimming and the whole of Torquay is a series of giant fecking hills!

Well then you won't have to cycle so far to burn tons of calories then!

[Gooner Girl]

Not had a good week on the eating/drinking/exercise front. Amazed to weigh myself this morning and find that I've only put on a single, solitary pound. Lost half a stone in total in 4 weeks. A run today will hopefully get me back on track, but the big danger is being away for almost a week. Running shoes will be packed!!

Admit it Fatty, you finished off all those cakes after Watford didn't you?

Cheeky bastard! Not a single one and that's the truth!

I did have 2 cakes, 2 biscuits and a coconut slice in the car though!

Paddy the dog enjoyed a couple too...

Hmmm. A likely story!!

Hmm. Just done what I counted as being a 750 calorie burn-off session in the gym but myfitnesspal calculates it at 852. So, after a dinner of pasta, tomatoes, boiled mushrooms, kidney beans and a bit of Tabasco, I have 1163 calories to use up between now and midnight.

does the gym equipment not have calories-burned data? i'd trust those if i had to choose between them and MFP...

that's seems like a lot - what the feck are you doing down at that gym???

Yeah, I specifically targeted 750 tonight, measured on the gym equipment into which you enter your data.

35 mins cross-trainer (120 steps per min, moderate setting) 15 mins bike at just above moderate and 5 mins rowing at 7/10.

Well, I have much more to shift than you have, my friend. And if I'm to have any chance of reaching my target of doing the parkrun on Oct 25th then getting some weight off in the gym has to help.

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, I won't be doing that every session (especially on a Friday evening) but I've just got back from a 1,000 calorie burn-off gym session. Now for grilled whiting. Yum.

if you've burned off 1000 calories - you can have fish and chips!

I could, but then I'd have to do it all again.

TBH I've been trying to create a balance ahead of weekend, which involves a pub meet tomorrow afternoon and a party on Sunday. Looking forward to it all now

+ 619 calories over the limit yesterday - flab not fought.

[thebish]

yeah - but you had those and more in the bank!

Don't beat yourself up fella - it was Saturday after all! You've made a great start. Stick with it!

[thebish]

weigh-day a day early this week as I am away for a couple of days and I like to use the same scales in the same place (for consistency...)

anyway - another 1.5lbs lost - which means my first sub-target IS achieved!

ONE WHOLE STONE OF FLAB IS GONE!

[clapton is god]

Well done, thebish! An inspiration to us all. I shall be making my own concerted effort commencing in three weeks, directly after I crawl off the beach I am headed for.

[Bruce Rioja]

Brilliant, thebish. Very well done.

I have to say that I am well jel as this week I've actually managed to put weight ON!

[Hoboh]

Due to a diet of choccy bars and everthing else considered bad for you I've managed about 5 kilo's in the last 6 months
