Ive found Im walking alot less now anyways. I just cant bring myself to to enjoy a walk when the weather is so chuffin' miserable!
But I did get my new mini stepper delivered yesterday and Ive already had a go on it. I do 20 mins cardio 5 times a week and can now alternate my stepper with my exercise bike (basically I time it to an episode of something on Netflix!!LOL).

Lost another 1Ib last week though so all good.
Am now 0.2Ibs away from my target for the year.........aaaaahh!!

I'm rather strange in that I much prefer colder weather, got burnt pretty badly years ago and hide from the sun so Autumn and Winter are my favourite seasons.

I get it though, if its throwing it down 99% of people won't want to do a walk.

Well done Catz 👏. Hopefully your claw back the gain once your routine is back to usual Bazz 🙂

I agree walking when it's wet is no fun, I prefer to walk spring or autumn as I also burn and get too hot and sweaty to walk when it's too hot,  I'm lucky that I live on the outskirts of town so there is plenty of walking near me, but it's only a two mile walk into town if I don't want to drive,

have a good week every one

Well done on all the losses.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone. 🎄

just a 1/2llb loss for me, not great for two weeks but at least I braved the scales today   someone stole my diet mojo this year! I hope others are doing better

I'm all over the place at the mo. I've put on 4lbs :-( basically because I've been feeling rubbish with illness and work stress, the weather has been rubbish, and I feel like I've gone into hibernation mode! I've given up for now tbh.

I had a look at my average weight over the last few years. I basically seem to hover around one weight, get down a few lbs, then it just creeps back up again. I spend a lot of time stressing about being overweight, calorie counting, trying to fit in enough exercise. I am overweight by 1/2 stone at least. I do need to do something about it as I hurtle towards menopause though. I know it's not much overweight compared to some folk. I'm short though and it really shows on me, plus my 'nice' clothes don't fit. It matters to me.

Sorry for the vent/feeling sorry for myself moaning. I'm the only one who can do something about it. I just wish my motivation and some energy would come back!

I have STS this week.  Quite happy with that as it could have been worse.

I find motivation is a very unpredictable thing, sometimes I just cannot summon any no matter what, then at other times (much rarer times) I seem to almost be on a mission and do brilliantly.

Hopefully it will suddenly appear for you soon.

Going away for a couple of days and I've just realised I've not weighed in.......I was going to do it before heading out, but my memory is appalling.
Think I've done ok, maybe not lost too much but I've put the steps in and certainly don't feel as sluggish (dare I say downright cr*p) as I did last week.

DEFINITELY weighing in next Friday.
Good luck everyone.
