Not good to confess so much badness at the start of a new thread so I'll save that for next week

Well done on the loss and continued exercise LOTI. I bet you are looking fab

4.6km majority run but some walk oh and party done

5.5pm on treadmill doing intervals getting better at running swimming lessons later so may attempt to do a few lengths but may chat to the mums instead

Lol that should say km!! 20 length of pool whilst dds at lessons

Sorry, i got lost in the Senna aisle

Well done on the running LOTI, hope you are enjoying it.

I managed 5k run on the treadmill (interval training), 10k bike, 15 mins powerplate and 60 situps

Wow!!! I was pooped after the treadmill so much respect for the 10k cycle

Another 5.5km run/walk done , more running again than walking but not sure I could go straight through pure running just yet and apparently you burn more fat interval training... That's my story and I am sticking to it

Got a horrible cold and cough couldn't face spinning so did 35 minutes on the stepper, got a really good sweat up so hopefully it will help my cold! Tho feeling pretty rubbish now

Hello,
OK. Have put on about the 10lb that I lost after DD was born. Am not feeling good about this. Exercise is hard at the moment (no time really to get out of the house without the DC unless it is work, and I don't get enough time to work anyway, so can't eat into this). I have been quite bad at eating rubbish food (picking at the kids dinner and then eating again with DH later, buying lunch including chocolate or cake to go with it, buying chocolate or cake anyway just to eat).
So, short term plan:
Stop buying chocolate during the day. Stop eating the kids dinner.
Medium term plan:
Buy a new set of scales as the ones that I have vary by half a stone depending on where I stand.
Think about buying an exercise bike. I like cycling, but have never really enjoyed exercise bikes, but well, if I can do it at home after the kids are asleep before DH gets home it might be a good thing.
Target: 10lb weight loss by December 13th (when we head to England).
When do you all weigh in?

Welcome lwfm

We weigh in on a friday try and do 4x 30mins exercise a day where you really get your heart rate going

10lbs is quite realistic in your time frame and good start banning the chocolate and cake

Thanks. 4x30 a week might be possible. will think again about the exercise bike.

Just done a session with gym buddy and gym trainer., man it was tough tough tough!!

Well done LOTI, you have been fab this week as always and show the rest of us up

Been in London yesterday & today. Good with food but got ambushed by beer last night . Will walk to school tomorrow and then maybe a run, but i have loads of work to do

Circuits on Friday is all booked and WILL be attended!

welcome back LWFH, let us know if you want us to kick you into exercise/healthy eating or adopt a more gentle stroking approach

Sazz you are working v v hard whilst I have been sitting on my backside making cakes/bread and other highly fattening things

Aiming for a quick session at the gym.. Cold/cough still pretty bad so will be taking it easy! Not ideal as weigh in tomorrow and less than 2 weeks til Vegas eek

45 mins at gym 20 on stepper 10 cross trainer and 15 on bike. According to trainer yesterday it's better to mix it up than do one v long stint on a machine also 45 mins is the most cardio one should do as then it becomes counter productive

good news - we have points on the credit card that we can change into department store vouchers so I think that the bike might be possible!

-1.5 down though hacking cough and suppose to be training with my gym buddy today will be very light I'm afraid

Fingers crossed for you sazz xx

Excellent news re the bike lwfh, but do make sure it is a good make and stable etc. Also you could consider a cross trainer type thing - mine turned into a bike with 2 easy handle changes, so i got two types of exercise.

LOTI -v interesting on the interval training - i have been trying to mix it up a bit, and the circuits definitely does that.

Not sure on loss - am 10.12 now, so i think 3lb off. I have done nothing different (worse if anything ) but at least it almost counters my last 2 weeks gains of 3.75 . I almost didn't get on the scales as i was dreading it so much, but pleased i did

Walked 6 miles yesterday (so did do 3 exersazz last week) and circuits this morning.

lol x-post! Well done you , though pants about the cold.

I like the idea of a gym buddy - where did you find one?

Other than at the gym lol

Lol sazz well done on circuits and good loss

Gym buddy just a friend of mine and we try and train together which is really motivating

35 mins of cardio and 25 of strength done

(Hard) circuits completed and 10 lengths. Didn't get my normal 10 mins powerplate as they were running a taster class

Quick 30 mins on stepper

BAAAD weekend

Good today - 5k run, 3k bike, 1k row, 10 mins powerplate.

Good girl sazz

My exercise has been twarted by poorly dd1... However going to core tonight and hoping for a 15 min cardio too!
