Well done you,beer ....well I don't drive so I walk alot and run around the house with the Hoover,laugh ..not now tho work rest and now I'm playing on here typing,,I burn calories just by thinking,..I gave up ciggies went from 8 and half stone to ten ,now I'm back to 9 5 Ibs and happier and more healthier looking than when I was 8 and half,..I think for people to lose weight it's not about crash diets it's about balance,ie cutting down on fat intake and drink lots water,grate fruits and watermelon are great for your skin and suppress an over indulgent
Appetite,


I love swimming it helps if you enjoy the excercise even if its just dancing to music in your home.thumbs up

When I reached my last dress size I said I would have a star bar. I didn't, bought new dress instead. Next size dress I have hanging on the fridge. Doesn't quite go with the farmhouse kitchen luck, gotta do what works for me. wine

Ya gotta have the odd treat , just not the multipack , but fair play to you , make us feel so much more confident , actually it's fashion to be ru Ming , walking now..everyone is at it . I run a lake route here and does be busy with joggers even at 6 am

Didn't know they did multipack in star barsmumbling Your so right, you do feel more confident. There is only one thing that would get me moving at 6am and it isn't running or walking.wink

There are a couple of things that most of the get fit and diet articles you read don't tell you that you are going to need if you want to lose weight and get fit, and they are determination and persistence.
Unless you stick at it you will find yourself very quickly back to square one.

Most people are looking for a quick fix, the latest no pain fad that will instantly give you the toned body you always wanted. Unfortunately when people have lost the desired weight they lapse back into old habits and pile on the pounds again.

I have my own little training routine, and I try to eat healthy, but I will admit that I often times just get lazy and fall back to old habits, then I get a bit of a fit of guilt when I see my expanding waste line and go back to my routine again.

I don't feel fit today... Belly full of beer, a bit of THC in the system and 4 ¼ lb double cheese burgers aren't helping.

Needed a hit Stan. You know how it is. Doing the health kick bit is good etc..but every now and then the rule book goes out the window and home made burgers taste better than McD's big macs..


For a good half hour I felt as bloated as The King..
