I'm now doing HIIT 5 times a week, eating well, but have not picked up my clubs since October last year. MY golf bag will need dusting before it goes out next.
A year to get fit and less fat

I don't even know where my clubs are its been that long!!
I've been doing well, still not drinking (bar a glass of champers to celebrate me getting a new job), been eating well whilst at work and evening meal has been reasonably healthy. Not managed to get to the gym yet because of my back which I'm not getting physio for but have been to pilates mainly for my back but it also seems to be helping with flexibility and do ache a day or so after.
My wife bought me home a prezzie today, an all singing & dancing scales that shows me everything, bone, fat, water, BMI, BM, muscle and more..
Really clever bit of kit, cost her less than £12 as she works in Lloyds but there only £15 at he moment ðŸ‘

5 HIIT sessions this week, first one nigh on killed me but got through and did 3.2 miles, that distance increased over the week and just done my 5th with 4.3 miles, I wanted to get to 4.5, but I now have a goal for next week.
No idea if I've lost any weight this week, but I'm not bothered, as I feel great and definitely getting fitter.

Is the right attitude! My life has been crazy the past 3 weeks, moved house, work has been mental and to top it all off i am really struggling to shake off a dodgy ankle, been six weeks now. Going to give it a fortnight of intense massage and voltarol therapy before going to see the quacks. I have stuck on weight due to eating and lack of exercise, but life is settling back down again now, so as soon as my ankle is good enough, i'm pounding the mean streets of Newbury...

Must admit, I woke up this morning after playing my first round of golf since October and feel so much better than I did in Nov and Dec, plus I feel like I've lost cm's or mm's maybe rather than weight. My clothes feel looser and my confidence is coming back so at the moment I feel pretty good. The gym at the moment just isn't happening unfortunately.

I had to check this morning, as it was 1 week since starting the new plan and with the amount of food I've been eating, granted it has been good healthy food, I've lost 2.3kg and 1.1% bodyfat, I know the first week tends to better than the following, but and it's a big but, if the same comes off for the next 3 weeks, that'll be a gnats hair off a stone and a half, which I would be over the moon with.

Just been to get weighed and I've lost 3lbs since the end of December. Stats are
Weight - 13st 4lb
Body Fat - 21.7%
Body fat is up 1.2% - how does that work if I've lost weight? Sorry if this has been asked before.

1 stone lost in 3 weeks
42 miles ran out of my target of 100 by February 19th.
Going to be very close I think.

Well that month seems to have flown by so weigh in is in a couple of days.
I hope you are all sticking to your goals.
Myself after getting 2 personal bests in the gym then getting a back spasm and having about a week of exercise off i have done ok.
My target is to lose body fat but not muscle but this month i don't feel any different.
I know its very hard to do and gains will be small anyhow so only weigh in will tell for sure.
I am still IF so i am on my 3rd month now and finding it fairly easy to stay on the plan even though its tough when the wife is stuffing in the chocolate in the evenings so bloody tempting.
The meats that were suggested are superb and the taste so much better than the supermarkets and the wife has noticed the difference too so another order is imminent.
I have also started to put a small bit of cardio of about 10-15 minutes into my routine just enough to burn another 100 calories,not much granted but when you have as many injuries as i have i have no option.
Look forward to some inspirational results.

And back to 16st 2lbs. Had hoped to be in the 15's by month end... looks like I'll just miss it.

I've finally got my @rse into gear, quite literally.
Done 2 x 10k session on my new turbo trainer this week which I really enjoyed. Just doing basic stuff at the minute, trying to keep a steady pace and blasting away for the last 1k. I'm sure there's better ways to exploit the trainer but for now just trying to beat my last time will do. I've seen some interval training schedules but they look a little scary 😨

Check out Spinervals DVDs - makes turbo much more fun (and hard work!). Or just warm up for 10 mins then a minute hard, a minute spin recovery for 10-15 mins and a 10 min cool down. Gradually build up the intervals and/or reduce the recovery. You could alternate the efforts as easy gear and legs going like stink (cadence monitor helps) or tougher gear and grind as hard as you can.

Thanks, I'll check out the videos. My trainer is a "smart" one so it's connected to my tablet via bluetooth, tells me speeds, rpm, distance etc etc.

Cheers Tony, better than expected, resisted getting on the scales during the month, certainly don't expect to keep losing at this rate, would be very happy with another half off.
I'm confused with my scales as with the loss my H2O has risen?
