Well done Andy - keep it up. You have inspired me to get some weight off my arse, not sure about the running and bike riding tho mate really I'm far too lazy ;D Have bought fruit instead of sweeeties and salad instead of bread and crisps. I'm gonna be starving next week !!!

Well, every little helps KL. Changing your diet is a good first step. I've certainly changed mine. Can't remember the last time I bought a bar of chocolate !
Managed 12 miles on the bike on Thursday evening in 54 minutes. I was quite pleased with that !

FA x what you mean you steal it now 'cos you're fast enough to run away  Seriously though, well done NQSFA, it's a lifestyle thing and you've cracked it. Just have to keep working at it.  Nice one ! I hope I've cracked it Ruthie. At the moment, I certainly don't feel like going back to my "old ways" but it's still relatively early days ! FA x |

Target number 2 achieved. I have now (as of this morning) lost 14½ lbs so that's just over a stone.
Next target is to lose another 7lbs, to get under 15st. I had hoped to do this by the time I go on holiday but I don't know if I'll have the time (only 3 weeks or so until we go).
I've hurt my ankle/lower leg so can't run at the moment but I'm trying to make up for it by cycling instead, which doesn't hurt. Last night I did 12.26 miles in 43 mins 54 secs, which I was quite pleased with.

Well done Andy Where are you going for your hols? Alcudia, Majorca ! We've not been abroad since the children came along so we didn't want to travel too far for their first trip on a plane. There should be plenty to do and hopefully the weather should be good. FA x |

Went out for a bike ride with a mate on Friday afternoon. Managed 24 miles  Never been that far before but felt ok. Went out again last night with the intention of doing 15 miles. Took a route down some country lanes, one of which had just been resurfaced with loose chippings. It was hideous, like riding on gravel  And then after about 5 miles, I got a bloody puncture  Managed to get some air in the tyre and get home but I've just spent an hour fixing it in the hope it'll be ok to go out later.

Well the puncture repair seemed to work ok ! 11.7 miles in exactly 50 minutes last night. Thats an average speed of 14.05 mph. Quite chuffed with that !

Feeling like I´ve put on about 2 stone in Mallorca. Still, I`m back on Saturday so I`ll see what the damage is when I get on the scales on Sunday morning ;D
