Well done everyone, your doing so great x

[BettyBoop]

Wel I am back on the wagon again....I've not joined a class this time and I am NOT on a DIET!

Instead I've downloaded My Fitness Pal on my phone and I am being more aware of what I am putting in my mouth! I am also building exercise into my fitness commitment. So far I have lost 4 Pound which I am please with.

I have booked next years holiday...(July) so I have a clear goal in mind and something really good to look forward to. I am thinking the carrot works better than the stick, so I am not going to dwell on the damage I have done to my body but instead I am focusing on each day....keeping my carolie intake in check with MFP app and moving my body more!

[BettyBoop]

Oh and can I just say that I HATE exercise and never do any! So what I am doing is trying to keep my body movement varied and make a commitment to at least do something each day........

My Week so far.....

Tuesday....Zumba Class (1 hours)
Wednesday....Jog/fast walk along the beach with my Hubby (20 mins)
Thursday.....Jog/very fast walk with my friend (44mins)
Today.....?????(going to try and tempt my son to a walk to the shops this afternoon, if this fails my Backup plan with be a dance video or housework to music).

Yesterday:
- bran flakes (1 bowl)
- knackis and green peas + a little bit of grated cheddar + banana + green tea
- cereal bar
- noodles

Today:
- bran flakes (1 bowl)
- courgettes and chopped tomatoes with a fried egg + chocolate mousse + green tea
- cereal bar
- sweet corn / tomato / ham / blue cheese salad + grapes

I don't count calories but I'm pretty sure I'm not exceeding 2000kcal/day

Green Tea is supposed to be really really good for you x

[Octopus]

Yep, it detoxes, but it also helps in having kidney stones... It's good to drink it, with moderation!

Oh yeah don't worry, I'm eating far enough!! Still too much for me...

[BettyBoop]

Oh I will have to try it! :)

[Octopus]

Try what? Kidney stones? I wouldn't try it if I were you

Alright!!! Go BB! Glad to see you back and with a new (and may I say please) a much more healthier strategy than WW and other fad diets. All it takes is variety of FUN exercises and sensible eating. A lifestyle you can easily adopt for life. Awesome stuff and walking with your friend/OH will make it even more fun



Also well done to everyone else, Biggins, congratulations on the awesome weight loss! Keep it going

Octo - well done, keep it going, you're right, you do not need to count calories, its will be obvious that you are consuming better food

and Diane, well of course you are going to lose more weight if you are going to lose more body fat, what do you think body fat is...weightless dark energy? Like I said you're not maintaining, you going for a body fat% target on you're right on track at a damn good rate too :)

Wow what stellar progression for everyone here. I'd like to humbly add myself too. I am definitely soaring with my squash playing, I am now beating a fella who has beaten me too often in the past, my last game with him yesterday I beat him 8-0 and won previous 2 matches before that. The thing is, here is the funny thing, the better the squash player I become, the less workout I am getting See, I can now better place the ball with quite good precision during rallies which means I have my opponent running around the court, puffing and panting to hit it back whereas before I am one running around like a monkey chasing the ball around. So what do I do? Simple, after the game I take out my stretch bands and do a quick intense workout as my opponent looks at me with a "WTF?!" expression...maybe I next time I should wait until they are gone...
