Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

To be fair, it's all fairly irrelevant to a back of the pack jogger like me, however when I went for a run the other evening, clad in a white Centurion SDW t-shirt and some Asic running tights the Missus did comment I looked 'slim'. That will do for me ;-)

and FR perhaps that's as good a target as any - I tried to stop weighing myself and went with how i looked/ felt.

Impressive graphs PtB.

I had just about maintained weight inspite of going from 200+ miles/ month running to no running (now a little running) but still getting calories burnt through walking/ cross training. You've just got to spend so much more time burning those calories by non running exercise in my experience!

Over eleven years since I started running and put on well over a stone, probably nearer a stone and a half at the peak.

But to be fair, my weight was probably unchanged from about 12 to 39!

Good work! I have stubbornly stayed put despite cutting alcohol almost completely... it will come though :-)

Struggling to shift it, even though being disciplined with food and doing some exercise. I reckon I can lose about 5% bodyweight. Currently 77.9kg. Got down to 74.5kg August last year.

I ran SDW50 at the weekend. Almost 30 minutes slower than last year and am about 6lbs heavier. I could feel it, too. It would be wrong of me to blame those 6lbs entirely (there have been training and health issues and it was a warm day) but still...

I know it needs to go and I need to focus.
5 weeks to NDW50.

Game on.

So, after the scales finally tipping over the 10st point, I'm on a mission!
Although, to be fair, I am not surprised I have eaten very badly last few weeks.

My first super healthy day is drawing to a close and I wonder, when do the chocolate/sugar cravings subside and I become overflowing with energy?!
Also, I am hungry :(
