great news Mermaid. Finances (and my knees) prevent me from rejoining the gym at the moment but its something I definitely want to get back into post surgery.

Hope everything goes well at work tonight.

Your ticker is looking great btw. That loss must be really noticeable now. xx

fantastic news on the gym and the work front.

 

[mermaid2708]

well, i went back to work thurs fri and sat nyts (9.15pm til 7.15am) and it went really well, back in the place two mins and it like i was never away! the gym is going well i have now been 3 times...im not mega adventerous yet...just treadmill and bike...about 15 to 20 mins on each. i am aiming to go 3 times a week, on other days the dog will get dragged round the block an extra time!!! am starting to feel the benefit already...especially in my legs and bum...will have to bite the bullet and do something to else down there to help with the dreaded bingo wings and to stregnthen my stomach muscles in prep for tummy tuck in next couple years. am starting to get compliments now...infact i saw someone in town today who was gonna walk straight past...didnt know it was me, but i feel its mostly facial and my arms and legsthat are loosing at the mo, i am still a big bellied babe...think it will be the last thing to go with me.

 

[I will get there one day!]

That's fantastic - good on you. I think the gym is one of things that is a real struggle to get there in the first place but you really enjoy when you get there and always leave feeling motivated to go again. I'm one to talk though, I've not been for ages!

 

[charliegirl]

Well done you, you are starting to make me want to go too!!!...xx

 

[thinkbethin]

Well done Claire, I never thought I'd enter a gym again but you lot make it seem so easy to get back in to. Can't wait to get my band, lose weight and feel fit enough to get in there. Great weight loss by the way, you're doing fab. x Gaynor x

Ops sorry NIC LOL not sure why i have called you claire.

I have just got back from swimming, not only did i managed 2 extra lengths making a total of 22, all except 2 were done in blocks of 4 insteas of the 2 i usually do them in. I plan on building on this over the next few weeks and am dreading my first 'stall' in losing weight. Hopefully this will prevent that.
