Teresa's weekly thursday WI

[treezuk]

Really happy , 4lb loss this week now weighing 250lb yay 76.8lb/5st 6.5/34.7kg all GONE

My mini goal is 6st loss by 7th feb when I go on a mini break.

Desperate to do some exercise but don't know what and gyms are to expensive.

Wooohooo! Another great loss - sometimes our eating a little more can sometimes kickstart it . . .

Exercise . . .walking is great, not heavy impact on joints, but burns a considerable amount of calories especially if you're walking at some pace and it tones leg muscles too.

My provider advises exercise of working up to 10,000 steps a day (about 5 miles in total) which Im working towards, and I've just bought myself a bargain wowcher treadmill which should be here . . .but grab yourself a cheap pedometer and walk, someone I know with a band has been doing that 5 miles a day for several months now and she says its helped her weightloss no end, but she also notices the toned muscles in her legs because of it.

Or buy a workout dvd - I got the set of slim in 6 and I've started on the first one but due to my knee injury its had to stop for a while. There's also a set that someone spoke about on the fitness board here (walking in the bedroom or something in the title) and that is also a workout dvd type thing for walking I think they are about 10-£20 or something.

Also, there's hand weights (on offer in argos at the mo) which you could use to do some toning in the arms etc - they had a fairly good set for less than £20

or swimming . . .another good one . . .

It was on a general wowcher rather than a regional one its twice they have done it since Xmas, so maybe they will do it again. Ive just come home to find that TNT have tried to deliver it . . .now thats speedy service . . .but I can't get my hands on it now until at least tomorrow

 

[treezuk]

Oh no how very annoying , please me me know if you see anyone , I've been offered an exercise bike for £70 but I could buy a new one for that if you kwim.

2lb off this week I actually think it works out a few oz under but I have no idea how to work it out with the .2 or whatever it is so 2lb is nearest rounded up

Well done mine was just under a 2lb loss but I only log the full pounds as you know and round down (maybe I should round to the nearest lol)

But you're doing great still . . .I just find these "slower" weeks quite frustrating, but I have one at this week each month . . .

 

[treezuk]

Yeah I know what you mean I am pretty sure it was only an oz or so off 2lb but the .whatever confused me today normally my fitness pal tells me how much it is exactly but it's not working today properly.

I think mines proberly gonna slow down a lot now but were see I have 5lb more to lose for 6st which is my goal for benidorm on 7th feb

I've still a long way to go . . .and Im hoping that its not going to slow down dramatically. I know I cannot expect 4lb losses ongoing weekly LOL but I am not wanting it to be a 1lb loss each week.

I am however setting myself some realistic targets - like you have with your Benidorm trip . . .but it can be frustrating when we do things to the button and it doesn't quite pay off. And MFP is temperamental. I've logged every day since August, but it tells me I've done it for like 10 days . . . lol

 

[treezuk]

I'm glad I'm not only one having issues with MFP , I think that we have to be realistic but you still wanna see those big numbers over small ones if you kwim x

Well done, I had a small loss last week and it can be hard if we are doing things as we should . . .I know that I am trying to start looking longer term, and although doing a weekly weigh in, going to start trying to look at it month on month rather than week on week.

But you've done great, you are doing great

 

[treezuk]

Thank you hun I think it's to be expected to be honest for the first few months I was lost 3/4lb a week regularly and losing like a stone a month and I was warned it would slow down or stop so obviously this is my slow period now , however I weighted pre poop hahaha and weighted post poop and I'd lost another lb but I'm just gonna leave it as it is for time being will be a better loss next week then hehe
