Afternoon chica - good to hear from you again.
And so near target. If you are doing lost of cycling and got so fit, I bet you've put on some muscle. Which would explain why the scales haven't gone down that much.

Are you still doing part time? Or did you ever get a full time post?

Look after yourself

 

[Woodland girl]

Hello! Muscle good calves like... A cyclist ! Lol

Got part time work until July

 

[Woodland girl]

Wow! Not posted for ages but still reading threads! Got a permanent part time job, weigh 10.3, still a little to go and heading off to cycle the 100 miles of south downs way!! I will not be eating well I will be eating lots!!!
Hope to come back fitter and thinner not too knackered! Lol

[Shazzabir]

Great to hear from you!!!
100 miles, that's going to be an amazing journey. When do you start?
Great news on the job front

 

[Woodland girl]

We start tomorrow in the rain! Ugh. I have been following your thread and your running, you are doing so well!

 

[Shazzabir]

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!!! x

Evening chica - good to see you here again.
How's the bike ride going?
You are soooooooooooo close to target - it's there for the taking. Even for us tortoises.
:hug99: and hope all is going well.

 

[Pinkie1973]

Oooh that bike ride sounds great. How did you go? Hope you've recovered and had a good time.

 

[Woodland girl]

Thanks for popping in folks yes, done it. 127 miles in total. Unbelievably difficult and the hardest thing I have ever done ! Loved it for the most part!! Wet, windy, muddy, hard work but EE had a laugh and both feel good for doing it.

Must have burned an extra 2000 cal a day at least and we had to eat quite a bit in order to make enough glycogen etc to keep going.

Left here at 10.3 and came back ... 10.10!!!!!

Remembered that happened to you Pinkie!
I was gutted but googled it and it is water rushing to my muscles with new glycogen and stuff and sure enough next day I had already lost 3 lbs and this morning was back to 10.4 phew!!!

I have had 2 days back and aching is going and I feel fit. Brilliant still eating. Bit too much to get under this bloody 10 stone barrier !!!

Xx

Go girl go!! You can do it chica. You are soooooooooooooooo close.

I wish I was anywhere near the 10 st barrier. I'm stuck at around 12 st!!! But I'm happy with that.
Old fogey and size 14/16 is where I wanted to be.

 

[Shazzabir]

Fantastic WG!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself, that's an amazing accomplishment!!!!!!
Hope you didn't suffer too much afterwards! x

 

[Pinkie1973]

Hey WG that's fab. Shame about that temporary gain (you're right, it did happen to me, its comforting to know I'm not alone). That ride sounds so lovely, I may have to get on the case and organise another one for myself at some point. Well done chicadee! Xx

 

[Woodland girl]

Thanks Pinkie! It was great but soooo hard. The weight came off but a lost nothing which is still a pain. Never mind eh?
Hope you ok
X

 

[Pinkie1973]

Yes I'm getting there thanks.

Hey, think of all the toning you'd have done!

 

[Pommette]

Hiya chica - good to see you here again. How are any aches and pains now after the ride. That was a fabulous achievemnt!

 

[Woodland girl]

Thanks pals! No aches now, we did a quick 14 miles yesterday , no bother! Planning a 50 mile on road ride to raise money for a charity next, good for the charity and good focus for us

Today food will not be great, but will be on my feet running around working at a fire service school safety day. It will require chocolate

 

[Woodland girl]

So, at this rate I am ever ever going to get this last 5 lbs off!! Just installed my fitness pal to see if this brings me a new lease of mojo!! Typed it most of what I expect to eat tomorrow but I am not sure how bored I will get with that! Interesting to see those calories rack up so fast!! Eek!!

 

[Shazzabir]

I am with MFP, username is Shazzabir if u fancy some company.
Sometimes the last few lbs are the hardest and most stubborn. I'm sure you'll get there, u certainly have the motivation to do it..! x

 

[Woodland girl]

Thanks! Once I figure out how to use it! I can't believe how few calories it wanted me to eat ! Lol. I switched to only 1 lb a week as I know I am not a fast loser and couldn't stick to such a strict allowance. I can also see now why you always want your exercise cals!
It should give me a better idea of what I am eating and portion sizes but I also know I will get fed up typing stuff in!
Have a great day
