The really slow loss team!

I HATE HATE HATE hardcore exercise bug I need to tone up. I will not be able to do it ever day as I have the kids with me but in definitely gonna give it a go. I don't have weights do will have to use tins of beans. I biked the 5 miles to and from work today and am glossing the doors while kids are in bed tonight so I may have to put it on hold til tomorrow I'll see how tired I am later. I am not toned at ALL my body fat percentage was in the 40's last time I checked so I need to get that down and I look like a big pile of blubber and loose skin with no clothes on. Thanks to my 3 children lol. Xx

I HATE HATE HATE hardcore exercise bug I need to tone up. Me too Lou - I love walking, hate the gym... but it's gotta be done!

I will not be able to do it ever day as I have the kids with me but in definitely gonna give it a go. I do it every evening after work and about an hour after dinner - any sooner and I'd probably throw up :eek: but I don't have kids, just a Doberman who runs around in front of me barking because she can't work out what I am up too - daft dog :) You will still see results Lou, just not as quickly - I've got a friend who does every other day as she can't stand the pain the day after the work out. It took her about 3 months but she is looking so different now :D She has the bug too and is doing the abs one next....oooowwwwww!!!

I don't have weights do will have to use tins of beans. I use two large tins of grapefruit - about 1.2lbs each - as I only have 5lb weights and they are just tooo heavy right now. It works :) I biked the 5 miles to and from work today and am glossing the doors while kids are in bed tonight so I may have to put it on hold til tomorrow I'll see how tired I am later. Dont' overdo it..... you'll burn out! I am not toned at ALL my body fat percentage was in the 40's last time I checked so I need to get that down and I look like a big pile of blubber and loose skin with no clothes on. Thanks to my 3 children lol. You can make huge difference Lou - my body fat has now dropped from 37% to 35.5% in 7 weeks and I am losing inches too. Last time I did it I was massively stronger and had loads more stamina after 30 days as well. Worth doing, but don't feel pressured to keep it up every day if it really hurts too much - do it at your own pace.Xx

Lou I've always read that yoga is brilliant for toning, that's not hardcore although it's not easy. I always have it in my head that if I'm not sweating or getting tired I'm not burning calories, that's not true but it encourages me to do more high intensity workouts, luckily I like them. I did my 30 day shread again this afternoon followed by 25mins Davina upper body & 30mins bike. I think you doing 5miles in your bike to work is brilliant!!

Have you tried Zumba?? I have the official dvd's, must admit I've never felt the Zumba 'craze' but it is hard work but fun. If you love that sort of music you'd like it. You can burn around 800cals in an hour. Crazy!
 
Oh, I love my Zumba DVDs... but then again I love dancing! I used to do Pilates last year, but the lass who held the classes has moved away and I just can't seem to get on with the DVD I have.
 
Trying so hard to, not post.any drunk ramblings..... This is my first drink since Nov last year and pteficribe text is so complicated when you do not have 100% control.

I know! I want my club 10 this wee! I'm being on plan 100% and going for a 5ish mile walk on Sunday up hill and down hill and then up a nab and ten down the nab so hoping this will pay off! I need to lose 5.5 lbs but I think I'm being abit to ambitious I think I may have to be leaving the slow loss team lol
 
I am going to do a week of success express as I've been ridiculous this week. Period still hasn't turned up which either means im pregnant, but as hubby's had the snip this would be unlikely, or my hormones have gone wappy again- more likely. I've felt pre menstrual for over a week now and the result is me wanting to eat chocolate and lots of it. Not good at all. So I'm going cold turkey. Wish me luck.

Hey conlou1 what is success express?xxx
 
Iv lost 15.5 lbs now and today i noticed that i have stopped walking into things! i used to knock things of tables, walk into walls people! I just think that this shows how big i didnt realise i was! now i have lost the weight i dont bang myself on walls and my once massive hips now dont knock things of tables. did anyone else do this?? or just me lol
 
Success express is for times your struggling to lose, for after an event where you may have used too many syns etc. you do 2/3 of your plate super free and a 3rd free, the free food can be from red, green or extra easy plan so long as it only fills a 3rd of your plate. You have 2 hexa and 2 hexb, you still have 15 syns but where anything has a lower and higher amount depending which day your doing you count the higher amount as syns. For example, if you wanted to have a microwave rice and it's 4 syns on green and extra easy but 15 on red you would count the 15 regardless of what your 3rd of the plate consisted of. You don't have to stick to red, green or extra easy for the whole day your 1/3 free can consist of any free food you want. In between meals you can only snack on super free freely, not the free foods. Obviously you can have your syns and healthy extras between meals if you wish but you must only eat freely from the super free foods. Healthy extras and syns need to be measured and weighed correctly as always and that's it. I lost 3.5 pound in 5 days last time I did it x

Thanks conlou1 think I might try this next week.do you do this for 7 days?xx
 
There's no set time limit you can do it as much or as little as you like. Stock up on lots of fruit, veg and salad though cos you'll go through mountains of the stuff and save a healthy a and b for the evening for cheese on toast or ryveta and cheese cos you will be hungry the first couple of days doing it. I try to do it for at least a week. I always feel more energetic and my tummy flasher after doing it xx

hello, can i please join? my losses are pretty slow, I usually have a loss of about 3lbs and then go back to 0.5lbs and 1lbs..... it does get annoying but at the end of the day, every pound matters and it's all in the right direction :D
