don't worry about that, if shitting down your own leg in the middle of a run is good enough for Paula Ratcliffe mate.......

I'm definitely getting fitter. My calorie burn in a set 30 minutes cardio workout has gone from 362 to 385 in three weeks. Really happy with the progress, especially as I've been giving 100% every time.

Been doing circuit training, twice last week with 1000 calories in an hour both nights and gym the nights in between.

Firing out 5k on the cross trainer in about 15 minutes.

Only shifting about a pound a week though. Apparently 1kg of body fat gone in 2 weeks according to the machine, not sure if it's that good when absolutely beasting myself and eating well!

It takes about a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1lb of fat. Just keep at it.

Maybe you're just doing to much. For me I find that if I smash the gym all week I lose nothing as I tend to over eat, but 3-4 moderate sessions with one going mental I do well with the lose

Yeah seems like the harder I go the less it is! Still feel better for it though! More energy and better sleep

I've lost 1/2 stone switching to low carb eating. I'm amazed because I did it to try and kick my sugar habit and haven't been dieting a such and haven't exercised much due to injury.
Do feel a lot better though. Sleeping better and got more energy.

Yeah I do circuits as part of my training with an Ex Army PT coach, ready for the Navy, find it the most exhaustive, but as has been said, because you work so hard, your body is probably making you eat more even if it is healthier? Think you will also find, fat is now being replaced by muscle, which weighs more than fat, so you will find you have lost more than you think.

I'm aiming for 2 hours 10 for the half marathon

I did it last time on 2 hours 8 mins last time but that was 2 years ago
Although I reckon I could do it on 2hrs 5 as I've had a bit more training time

Decent time that is!! Considering signing up to the Warwick half Marathon personally, but I hate running with a passion, but need to force myself to do it.

Great reading all this stuff.

I've had to give up alcohol due to medication which has triggered me to try and lose a couple of stone as well - I'm 6ft and 16st in my late 20's.

I've started walking to and from train station instead of taking a bus so am walking 1 hour a day. Unfortunately I have issues with my lungs which won't allow me to run or swim. Anybody got any other ideas for exercises to help me shift the lbs? Or do you think controlling calories (less than 2000 per day) and 1 hour walk will work?

think you'll get a lot of results doing that. Daily intake should be 2500 so you're 500 in credit and you'll burn off 500 approx walking for an hour. Try going low carb for a few weeks, doing me the world of good though It there seems to be a bit of caution about doing it long term but 2 or 3 weeks and you should see results.

If you were munching too much and not doing any exercise then you have to see an improvement. Have you thought of going to the gym and swimming and doing weights?

I used to play footy twice a week but drank 6+ pints at least three times a week plus ate too much. Because of the illness I've had to cut the drink but also the footy (for now) so I'm thinking they will balance eachother out. Can't do swimming and will definitely look into whether I'm able to do weights. I guess controlling calories and doing the walking should work but not sure how quickly I'd shed 2st.

It's worth trying one.

If it is just steps you could get a pedometer, but it just depends what is built into it to know if it can track distance run.

The fitbit either does it from GPS or stride length.

Just a tip for anybody looking to buy a new bicycle. See if your company are signed up to the 'cycle to work scheme'. The government waive the tax upto a grand if you buy through the scheme. Takes about 3 days to process the paperwork and is taken directly from your pay packet over 12 months.

Mine isn't too accurate when doing distance for things like that. Jogging is ok but not so much shorter bursts in confined areas

For £25 it's not bad though and it might work!

Depending how accurate mine works out a stride length from height, then it counts steps and works out distance if there's no GPS.

If you start eating eating better, cutting down potion sizes and start exercising as much as possible you will see results. Cutting out the alcohol will also be beneficial. I would be happy to come up with a weights routine id you are able to them. Sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you'll recover soon.

Done 8lb so far since the 1st now.

Hammering circuits twice a week, weights and 5 or 6km on the cross trainer the days in between.

Just got to start increasing the weights a bit now!

Thing I've started doing is 10 pressups everytime I have a wee and 15 everytime I drop the boys off as well. Seems to have helped!

I could see myself starting that once or even twice but then I would be in danger of wetting the floor before I get to 10.
