Get in shape 2009!

[Pier Angeli]

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.

Eatings so much fun tho! I guess you can still eat 3 good meals a day but just work out a bit.

Fuck it, lifes too short (irony?) why dont we see who can put on the most weight and be the laziest here?

[ladysavage]

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

[broken]

I'd like to do the fitness thing. but I duno where to find the time

[J.M]

was that sarcasm?

[broken]

no actually hahah

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
