20 minutes of wierd stepper / treadmill hybred thing, then a 45 minute spin class. Pretty poor class, no attempt to use teh music to dictate pace, and only variety was so occasional standing up bits. But it was a start, and the HRM showed I was doing something, so on the right track. No weight loss yet though.
How I laughed. I smugly thought to myself that whilst I knew I had put on weight in retirement I hadn’t put that much on. Perhaps I should have remembered I had thrown our scales out 3 or 4 months ago as they were reading so erratically that they were worse than useless. Then this morning I got onto the scales at work. 103.3 kg. 227lbs. 16st 3lbs. More than 10lbs heavier than when I was panicked into starting exercising in the winter of 2003. Heavier than Oxy, nearly as heavy as Carl. FFS. Is there room for tubby hubby on this list?

excellent, another truely over weight person rather than these wimps who only need to lose 20lbs.
fwiw i've now lost a massive 2 pounds. must be the low carb steak followed by a bottle of wine and champagne that did it. tomorrow will tell. i'm so bored i can't even raise enough energy to go and sign on at the gym.
I won't join in as I have no target bar some goodly weight loss - a week on the MTB in Spain told me that dragging 17stone up fecking big hills is fighting gravity big time so have decided enough is enough and I really should lose some weight.........it's great on the downhills but is a pain going up!
I know what I need to do so will get on with it rather than join a list which is usually doomed to failure
in fact my weight loss programme started yesterday as I have picked up a dose on Montezuma's in Spain and seem to have been surgically attached to a bog seat for the last 2 days........not nice

goodness gracious me, cuddliness abounds.
I feel quite proud that I managed a 6lb gain. But half of that's already gone coz it was only Quality Street and bixkits.
You go, guys!
If your bigger then its easier to lose the weight........yes...........
I'm only aiming to lose 21 lbs but then I suspect I should go a lot lighter.............but i know it won't happen so no point in aiming too low
and I'm feeling lighter and I'm going to exercise tonight
I was wondering where you were FB
are you joining in or are you at your fighting weight already
I know what I need to do so will get on with it rather than join a list which is usually doomed to failure
Charming FB
and this thread will not fail, tis not allowed.
food in = food out - just add an hour or so between the two.....
PMSL.
