Hi Guys! No weight loss but another PB (see the events forum!), this time at the hated 10K... Admittedly, I did indulge in some f n c afterwards, well, this is Yorkshire! (and quite a few fellow racers joined me in the post-run lardification...) but am feeling generally pretty good. I'd like to start losing weight again, but it's just not happening at the moment, but the running's going well!

Cath, congrats on your extra 1lb loss. Not sure what to say as to whether your 13lb in 5 weeks is normal/healthy or not - it's weird isn't it. Getting worried when not losing any and then getting worried when losing too much!!
Caketin - hope the run goes well
Redhead - congrats on the loss and very sorry to hear about your knee.
I went for an easy long run yesterday - 8 miles in 65 to 70 mins!! Haven't raced for ages but I'm looking forward to doing a 10k to see where I'm at - I think I may be back to as fast as I was before I had mini RM!!! V exciting.
Weigh in was 9 stone again so no change.
Good luck to everyone weighing in today.
Big well done on the speedy racing over the weekend.
Hoping to get close to 14st before I start y winter weight training schedule, when I’ll probably put on a few pounds but hopefully reduce the overall body fat % (currently hovering around 19%)

In essence I tend to do (daily) the following:-
Doggie walks at 6am (2miles/30mins), 3pm (3.5 miles/45mins) and 9pm (1.5 miles/20 mins).
Step machine at home (30mins)
Gym work out - 20mins stepper, 30mins treadmill OR 30 mins cross trainer (depending whether it's a "rest" day from running or not), 1000m rowing (5 mins) and cycling 5Km (15 mins) as well as all over body weights circuit and ab trainer (in total takes around 2 hours).
Plus all the day-to-day stuff at work (I work on the second floor and never take the lift!!) and at home!
Although the last two weeks I've been on holiday so the gym visits and dog walking have been sporadic because a) my routine has gone out the window b) the gym is near work so I have to drive 20 miles or so to get there and c) I'm supposed to be on holiday.
She --- I started with my new shoes with various aches and pains so it could be that but I'd keep an eye on it.
Lamb --- I was laughing at your photo thing. When I was a kid and my Mum was dieting she had two photos of herself looking shall we say, not like herself. Anyway one was on the inside of the food cupboard door and the other was on the fridge - she never once was tempted, well, she might have been but then the photos put her off!! So it does work!
Will --- Well done! I had a comment like that last week from the Mr. I bought some new Adidas lycra running leggings and when I put them on he said, "Oooh, you look smaller"... which I took to be a compliment
I've been off the forums for a while due to moving house but have come back today full of good intentions. I haven't dared to weigh myself after two weeks of eating complete lard, but today I have been for a run at lunchtime followed by 3 Ryvita topped with low fat cottage cheese. Not quite the post run treat I would normally settle for, but having seen my wobbly thights reflected in the shop windows as I thundered past this lunchtime I think its about time!
By the way, the run was rubbish - felt absolutely knackered!
I am using training for my first half marathon (well first race actually) at the beginning of October as an excuse to lose some weight. Doing really well so far, but have hit a bit of a motivation block.
I started at 81.5kg and have got down to 71.5kg since I started about 10 weeks ago. At the moment I am running about 20 miles a week and have reached the euphoric stage where I am actually enjoying my sessions and it doesn't feel like torture. But I still feel a long way from my 68kg and 13 miles target. Currently my longest runs are about 7.5 miles.
It all feels like it is about to slip through my fingers though so I thought I'd share my progress and hopefully inspire some of you at the same time.
Hi She, no M&S today though I had intended to get some nice fruit there, but never made it. Am doing v poorly on the weight loss front though fish n chips on sunday after the race didn't help!!
I put mine on after starting this new job. My previous job was very sociable, but here I sit in front of terminal all day and food serves as a distraction.
To be honest I long for a stable weight even if it isn't my thinest. It is the yo-yo-ing that is getting me down.

The scales I use also measure body fat – quite useful I thought when my wife bought me them for Christmas one year )

Ok, you can own your very own set of body fat scales for a mere £60. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain how they work in the catalogue.
I got mine from Boots Tanita make them

I am having a rest day and heading to the pub. I'll try and stick to spritzers!
