I tend to start a new regime and get bored after a week or so. Also being tall has meant that I've managed to hide my weight gain.
What's different this time? I plan to use my stubborn streak to my advantage! I know my weaknesess and know come next Monday I'll be bored, so I'm going to counter this by setting weekly challenges to make the longer term goal fly by.

congrats on your recent weight loss!
congrats on your weight loss, you certainly deserve it after your workouts!
I feel a lot fitter from it all, just don't seem to have lost any weight :(
am back at my gym tomorrow, can't wait (this isn't sarcasm!)
alix :)
I finished the 10 week running plan and should apparently be able to run 5k now....still not convinced!
Have signed up to run in the Adidas Women's Challenge in Hyde Park in September. It's 5k, am hoping to run all the way round and not walk, so hopefully working on doing that in the next few months will help the weight fall off.
If anyone feels like donating to the British Heart Foundation....www.justgiving.com/carlathomas
I still hate running though! ;o)
Have started jogging with my house mate round our block, to be honest I think we do more laughing than proper jogging, but it's a start!
Jeans are now loose and a trip into town is in order!
yay!
How you doing?
alix :)
Have stuck to my eating plan and have found managed to keep snacking to a minimum. However, had one bad day, and it nearly all fell apart. However, I ate my chocolate and got back on the plan instead of being discouraged by my weakness. Am definitely feeling more in control!
Tomorrow is spin and body pump! sounds like torture to most, but it's a great opp to get rid of the stress of the week!
thanks for the encouragement!!
its been a bad week and i've been feeling pretty discouraged so thanks for the kind words..
Jx
Great to see your weight going down! Keep up the great work!!!
how you doing? are you a member of a gym? what classes do you find work best for you?
alix :)
that rocks my socks!
keep going!
That's great that you've signed up with a personal trainer...i've not done that before, you'll have to let me know how it goes. When i signed up for podfitness, i really enjoyed it. it really re-motivated me to start excercising and to push myself further..though, granted i'm not using it anymore at the moment..
that's great that you are looking for different methods to reinspire..sometimes all you need a change of perspective and momentum to get back in the swing of things!! J x
way to go with you too!! keep up the good work!!
:))
congrats on the loss this past week!!
way to go!! :))
thanks for your encouragement and the link to sparkpeople.
its got some interesting articles..not sure if i would track my meals using their site..but you definitely have got me thinking more carefully of exactly WHAT i'm eating! you're right - it can be deceptive...there are actually quite a few calories in a soy latte! haha..its good to be aware.
if you are getting bored of your workouts why don't you vary it with podfitness..i love how you can mix it up..i am more inclined to do the elliptical but its much easier to run for long periods with the encouragement of podfitness!!
you seem like you're doing great tho! ..well on the way. great job!! :))
