Weekly progress

[GirlAtMidnight]

A mixed week when it comes to maintaning weight...

Had a (quite large) slice of ice cream cake yesterday (probably a bad idea, but I have to live a little) and what a surprise I felt a little bloated and sickly afterward. So this morning, I went for a run to balance it out a bit and I managed to run for over 6km (6.2km) and althought I am knackered now, I feel so much better. Although my pace may not be as fast as other runners yet (my meagre height of 5ft 1 somewhat limits my ability to run super fast, haha) I'm hoping to build that up over time as my fitness improves.

Also, despite the ice cream cake, I appear to have lost another pound, making my total loss a nice round 50lbs. So all in all, despite the 'slip-up', this week has been okay. Wonder what the weekend will bring!

Hi GirlAtMidnight,

Wow, well done for achieving a total weight loss of 50 pounds, that is phenomenal, and Congratulations on losing 1 pound this week. Brilliant that you did over 6km running, and that you're feeling much better in yourself.

I hope the weekend brings you some great things!

That 50lb weight loss is a great result - well done (And that ice cream cake sounds quite nice too !)

[GirlAtMidnight in reply to Hidden]

Thank you (it was rather nice!)

[Portlandprincess]

impressed! Wow. 50lbs ! I don't know if I could pick a rucksack up with that much weight in it. Well done you!😄

[GirlAtMidnight in reply to Portlandprincess]

Thank you! Feeling positive

What a great result - I'm at the 50lb mark too and I know how hard it is keeping it up.

You are right about the ice cream though, you do have to live a little. Oh for the day when we can leave a bit before it becomes sickly - maybe one day

Well done on the excellent run too - I am still at the walking stage.

Hope you can keep up the good work over the weekend - always a struggle for me.

[GirlAtMidnight in reply to sueper]

Thank you. Congrats on your own weight loss, that's brilliant! yes, weekends are always a struggle, so much free time and many temptations, but I will try and persevere!

I always seem to have something going on at the weekend but I do usually manage an extra long walk. Today I am going for afternoon tea with some friends I am planning a big walk tomorrow though

Can I ask how much more you have to lose or are you pretty much done? I still have a long way to go

[GirlAtMidnight in reply to sueper]

Oo enjoy your afternoon tea, that sounds nice I am almost there, ideally I would like to lose 4 more pounds, and then it will just be toning up so I'm not so wobbly still feels like it will take me ages though as my weight loss is so slow now I'm closer to my target, I'm only losing a pound every 2/3 weeks. You can do it! It might seem like a long way but I guess these things take time and you just have to stay motivated to stay on course (that's the biggest problem I'm having, anyway), good luck!

[sueper in reply to GirlAtMidnight]

Thanks Good luck with that last 4lb, must feel great to be so close to your target!

50 lbs is AMAZING and you are clearly watching your diet and doing some exercise - what more could you ask.

"my meagre height of 5ft 1 somewhat limits my ability to run super fast, haha"

Couldn't you just pop on some 6 inch stilettos and improve your speed?

[GirlAtMidnight in reply to Dave1961]

Thank you. Haha oh yes, what an idea!! I can barely walk in stilettos let alone run in them
