Hippo - you will meet him at Lochaber.
Husbands are cr@p aren't they?
why? you are losing weight. 1lb a week sensibly is better than 5lbs a week and straight back on again once you stop whatever crazy diet is producing the weight loss.
and congrats on the decision not to go for the quality st - thats a really difficult one when you're feeling down. You keep at it.

I should be careful what I write here. Hubby night just take it into his head to read these. He is a very private person and would be a tad upset to see what I say about him (even though it is true).
how long has it taken you to put on 5 stone? i think i remember reading somewhere in your story that it was about 4 years?
just think - even if it was 1lb a week you would be almost there by this time next year. you can look at the races you are planning for this year and think how much quicker and fitter you'll be by the time you do the next year.
by the way although not posting i've been following your story since day 1 and have been so impressed with your perseverance and determination.
Must go see to dinner as it is nearly ready. Back later.
Now, how to loose that pound? I've been exercising loads since the start of the year and haven't lost a single ounce let alone pound. In fact I went away to an exercise weekend at the end of January, worked my butt off, allowed myself 2 puddings over the weekend and actually put on weight!!!
Just started a food diary this week to try to see on paper what I actually eat, and how I can best cut down.
I enjoy reading this thread, find it motivating so thanks!
To loose that pound I had no sweets, cakes, biscuits - all the things I love. Cut down on the portion sizes (except the wine) went out plodding and still only lost 1lb. I like your idea of a food diary. I might try that. I might be shocked by what I actually eat.
Bet you will have lost weight. It will just take time to show after the weekend workout. Stay on here with us and we will all help each other. I know I need all the help I can get so please join in. Together lets says we conquer this together
whether youve etten those sweeties or not you are doing well
Dont care if your hubby does read this
he ought to respect you more
dont worry, I wont smak his physog in when I see him i am usually polite in company
Hi ally
Just been reading the thread on walking in half marathons and its scary. Not sure about Lochaber now as I am going to be walking a lot. Appreciate about keeping the marshalls waiting and that is why I am maybe going to ask to start early.
I think you are doing great Hippo. You are really into those ultra's. What made you entered those? Good for you.
Night
it isnt a case of what
its WHO
i know who they are-and there is no let up
Hee hee! Hippo, you are funny, wanting to smack Speedy's hubby!!!! But I'm sure there are a few of us who feel like that for upsetting our Speedy!
Speedy, a pound lost is still in the right direction and fast weight loss does mean an even faster and heavier weight gain! It's all about changing your lifestyle for life, not until the pounds come off and then bingeing again. These little changes add up to a whole new you! Forever!
Hello again to mava, debbo and M too! As you can see, I write blumming loads cos I don't have a computer at home so here I am at 'work' lol!
Last night I did the usual track session and really enjoyed it. Trouble is, left achilles was sore towards the end (could have been some trainers I haven't worn for ages although they are still fairly new!?!)
Anyway, plenty of tlc on it last night and this morning seems to have eased it so will rest it today (somehow!)
Went out for a run this morning instead of boring old cross training at the gym. Much happier as a result. Did 4.3 miles in 45 mins which isn't going to break records but suits me OK. And it was even getting light as I arrived home so spring is on its way.
Speedy, don't take any notice of those people in that thread - I think I know the one you mean and they're miserable s*ds. Yes, the marshalls do need to be considered but if there isn't a cut off time (or you're within the cut off time) then you do your own thing.
Right, off to do some work now.
Must admit I was put off a bit reading that thread about entering races just now but I feel that I need to do them to get my motivation back up and give me something to aim for. I used to think it didn't matter how slow someone was. It was the taking part and completing it that counted.
Debbo - you will be miles ahead of me.
Just borrowed an enormous case from my neighbour to take on my Trailplus weekend on friday. Cripes. And I got my number/chip for Reading today. I must be getting serious about this running lark :-o
Off to have my dinner now. Will come back later.
Speedy - well done on going out in that wind and rain. I went out this morning and it was only drizzling and not nearly so windy then. I won't be miles ahead of you - well, not many miles anyway
Mava - hope trailplus is good. I'm sure it will be.
