1lb this week...

nice, slow steady progress

I'm going to cut out the alcohol for a month or so, I go to the gym and lift weights , and do cardio a couple times a week..but then go out 2-3 times a week and drink enough calories for a month!!

each pint has like 300-350 cals, 30mins on a boring stationery bike to burn off 1 pint!!

I think a pint (of lager) has closer to 190 - 210 cals and most bitters about the 230 cals mark. Some of the heavier stuff may differ but its not as bad as that. Actually, thinking about an 8 pint night...thats still like having 8 Big Macs

Don't worry...you can burn off 1 1/2 pints in your half hour!!

Think vodka and diet coke is the way forward.....

A whopping fantastic 5.5lb this week WOW! I thought I'd begin to plateau by now...it would appear not...

Calories in Stella Artois                                                                  Pint                                                                  256                                                                  0.0

whats your target?

[wweerr208]

i've lost shit load of "fat" not weight a few time in the last 15years,

my honest basic simple rules are:

do weights instead of CV
when doing weights, always make sure you lift the appropriate weight that you can't do no more than 8-12 reps any more reps is wasting your time. and at least 3 sets of the reps
I can not stress this enough *eat as much low Gi foods or raw foods* as possible - except after immediate training - if you don't know what gi foods are look it up on google.
diet = enough protein and plenty of carbs - look this up


don't expect miracles

don't expect quick results

expect serioulsy hard word

and make the weight training enjoyable and varied

use dumbbells and compound exercises were possible

Thanks, I am not finished yet! But wanted you to see the difference so far x

[lmsbossy]

Well DVJJ you are an inspiration...5 stone is some achievement!  You look great, really pretty!  I think it is time for me to start getting fit for Glasto 2011.  This year's Glasto was slightly marred by an ongoing gallstone PAIN issue....however, the offending organ was removed last monday and I think I had better start the campaign now...although with feeling quite crappy after the operation, I won't do much exercise for the next couple of weeks!

My other half (mrbossed....he of the "thanks Halvin" T shirt) needs to do something too....he has been in agony with suspected stomach ulcer all weekend!!


So here I am 45, 5 ft 2.5 inches(don't forget the half) and 15 stone exactly.

Lets see where I am next June!!
