[Wellbeing] Get in shape 2009! - Page 2

I'm spending January tracking calories, just to see where my diet could use improving. So far it's gone fine, and once you've used a type of food on the counter once it stays there so you can re-add it quickly later. It's tedious, but I think it'll be an interesting experiment.
As for weight loss, I'd quite like to drop about 10 pounds before summer. But we'll see.

see if only it was possible to lose weight by posting relentlessly on a forum:P

Let's face, you can eat whatever you like as long as you engage in physical activity your not gonna be fat!

To be honest I'm not really caring about looking sexy, more avoiding pain. No body looks sexy at the gym, except maybe my old trainer...

I'm just trying to cut down on crap and eating more fruit and veg and hopefully that will get me anywhere between 8 and half st (ish) give or take a few pounds.

I won't run or exercise without a sports bra. I really don't want my boobs hanging down to my waist when I'm in my 60's...

I joined a gym by my work, so I don't really have the distance excuse anymore. Plus, there's a half-a-dozen other girlies that joined too, so I've got peer pressure to get myself going. A stone by summer? That would be great! I just have to convince myself that chocolate doesn't taste as good as I think it does.

Happy weight and shapewise. Would love just to be a tad more toned

broken · 11th January 2009, 9:28pm

Last year is the lightest weight wise I've ever been. I used to be fairly toned, I'm still the same size, well wear the same sized clothes, but I think I've lost the weight as I've became less toned. I did start to do something about it, but my funds took a battering & I decided to just walk places which is a very slow method.

I have became a complete vegetable over the past few months, I really needta sort this out

I did read a thing recently (and damned if I can remember what it was, but I think it was on discovermagazine ) that did a survey on people who had lost a shedload of weight and kept it off. The majority of them had made walking more their most major lifestyle change. Slow maybe but (hopefully) sure!

Those tracking what they eat may find Food Focus helpful.

princessoPUNK · 11th January 2009, 10:05pm

I need to cut out all the rubbish I eat, plan meals and exercise more. I've put on about a stone i the last 2 months, and gone up a dress size. I worked really hard to lose weight a few years ago, and i don't want this to be the beginning of me putting it all on again!

I'm going to start my plan next Monday, because then my exams will be over, and I'll be on placement so the school routine will stop me snacking. Hopefully 2 months of placement will be long enough to get my stomach used to small portions again!

bugpowderdust · 11th January 2009, 10:08pm

I've put on a heap of weight since this time last year, and I was hardly captain skinny back then. I'm not setting any particular goals but long-term I could do with losing at least 4 stone. I'm just going to make an effort to eat less shite and do a bit more exercise.

Step 1) Make a vast pot of veggie soup to live on for the next few days. DONE.
