    Morning

    Walked to town on Thursday (1 hr) and did my DVD on Friday (another hr).
    Total is now 18hr 40 mins.

    Did very little yesterday as I have a head cold - on the up side I do now have a handy excuse for failing to meet my target this month!

    Hey guys.

    Did 20 mins on the bike yest and a v poor 4 mins on the treadmill, i think i put the wrong level in, last time i was at 5.5, this time for some reason it was 6.5:eek: dunno why i did that but i honestly couldnt remember and i lost heart a bit when it was too fast, so decided to go on bike instead, i have done 2.47 hours of exercise this week, gonna try for 5 next week,.

    And maybe join the advent calender challenge if you do it, forgot to weigh myself at the gym, wont get a chance now until i go to yoga on wednesday, so will let you know then.

    Can I log 1 hr 30 mins from this weekend please? Seems my challenge is within reach if I work hard! I'll aim to get to the gym, but if not I'll workout at home.

    Hello all. :)Could I join your thread? I have started my life change today - lets just say enough is enough. I have never felt so bad.
    I am not a member of a gym or slimming class. I love walking, have a wii and some dvd's. I lost three stone about 10 years ago so I know what i have to do. Unfortunately I am 10 years older now and I know its going to be harder.
    Firstly I need to get my portion sizes in control. I have bought myself a smaller dinner plate. I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me what proportions I should have for protein etc.

    Welcome Northwest. You have certainly come to the right place. You are right, it definately gets harder as you get older - but can be done. I was recently told that a portion of protein should be the size of your palm. Saying that I have been cutting down on carbs and eating more protein, which seems to be working for me. Join in with the excercise challenges they will help to keep you on track. Good luck.

    Just 30 min Davina DVD for me today please Fred.

    Welcome Northwest. I have done really well on this thread. Just had my blood pressure checked and it is 110/70, which is very healthy. Now I need to have my cholesterol checked again, which was high in March 2011, at 6!
