| Get in shape 2009!
Righto, since nobody else has started one yet I may as well.
Use this thread to post your healthy eating/weightloss targets, progress, results, recipes, links, exercise tips etc etc.
My diet has been atrocious lately and as well as the usual extra Christmas pounds gained I just feel shit and catch every cold going, so I need a kick up the arse to eat better. I'm roughly following the Slimming World plan which is pretty easy to follow and suits my eating habits. I have about a stone to lose but I'm more concerned with eating more fruit and veg instead of pasta all the time.
As for exercise... well, one thing at a time  |

I swear, I know im bad over December for being a total ganet but this year has got to be a record.
Want to lose a stone myself. Its not so much what I eat thats the problem, I just constantly eat. Its the gettin off my arse in the first place that I have trouble with. Once I start going back to the gym, cutting back on the amount I eat im more motivated to keep going. I do find it easier to start at the beginning of a week so bring on tomorrow.

According to the BMI index I don't need to lose any weight per se,  but I still need to tone like fuck. Plus, with all the bad-habit-quitting, my metabolism's gonna be taking a nosedive so if I don't shape up the now I'll be giving Baron Harkonen a run wobble for his money by Easter.
Don't have the extra cash for the gym due to the saving up, so I'm gonna be walking for an hour a day, plus I have weights and enough room for aerobics/dancing/whatever in me room  Pricetag: nil.
Plus, I'm cutting out processed food, making me own coleslaw, soup, cottage pie, sarnies etc. Pricetag: hopefully, less than the Greggs diet (please god).
Prediction: it'll last a week, will need flotation belt by Easter. 
Good luck to everyone else!

I need to loose weight - its not just because im big for my height etc but i just feel down because of the way i am so so far i have been eating better (however today is a down day and have slipped a bit) but so far doing not bad.
I am determined by Dec next year i will have hopefully lost about 2-3 stone! as a realistic goal!
need to take up the gym again and become stricter

| I'm one to talk cos after nine hours I give up and get pasties, hence the trying not to do that thing. However: Those big cartons of soup? Er, fruit? (The LEAST satisfying snack ever.) Hmm. Yeah, this is my problem too alright...

I think I could perhaps do with entering my 30th year looking less like a pro-ana pin up boy.
I could afford to put on a stone of non fatty tissue, essentially. | |

i need to start doing some exercise. Since changing jobs and driving so much each week i hardly ever do any exercise (though i make a concerted effort to walk to the pub from here once a week, which i think nullifys it's usefulness). Adam has set up the rowing machine and i'm gonna go swimming one day this week seen as for once im not actually raw from tattooing

Today I almost bought a sports bra to strap my chebs down whilst I go to the gym. £26 though, and I kinda like my squidgy bits....
And plus, there are some folk out there far squidgier than me and don't seem to care
