Well done on your weight loss Harriet! Sounds like a good plan re exante/food over your birthday/Xmas time.

How's the running going?

hi yeah im pleased so far and i think/hope that this will work out for me
re the running, yeah its going good. ive a long way to go to being back what i was this time last year but with a 10 month break its not quite like starting again but pretty much lol carrying extra weight is obviously a huge factor in it so the more i lose the faster ill get, in theory!

last oct i did the gsr in 90mins and next year i want to do a half marathon, not necessarily an organised one but theres somewhere local id like to run,itsall off road on an old railway track, some big hills but on the whole, mostly flat..so thats the plan.

do you run?

Sorry Harriet, just asked you about your running in my diary too. I find it hard to keep up with the posts. Is there an easier way?

I did do some "waddling" using the nhs couch to 5k podcasts. They were really good with uplifting music and a nice lady encouraging me (and anyone else who listened to her) that I could do it and not much further etc, all for free. However, I started to overeat quite a lot and it just got harder on my knees and I gave up

So, we'll have to start calling you Harriet the Harrier soon!?

i was reading a few diaries yesterday at work (it was quiet) and i came across one of the lovely ladies diaries on here (sorry i cant remember your name) who is putting her daily losses down and i thought thats a great idea for me too and it would motivate me into continuing..so thats what im doing for the foreseeable future..
so today
fri 210.6 - 1.0lb

If that's what keeps you going that's fine.
I weigh daily, always have! BUT, for the last 2 weeks I have been keeping a record of my daily weighs and it has kept me on the plan even more! My scales show 1/4lbs increments so a 1/4lb loss is fab

Carrie is the one you have seen post her daily losses prob?

Keep going hun, something's working 'cos you are doing great xx

i feeling very self concience(sp?) at the moment. i know my breath smells cause my mouth tastes absolutely vile and im worried im wandering around the office with an almost visible smog surrounding me lol im not kidding! ive been popping the listerine strips like they are going out of fashion. this is the only bit really i dislike, the knowledge that i might smell!!!!

just going out for a run in the dark..id rather be out in the dark and noone see me struggling, which i still am a bit at the moment getting up those hills
