Random Irritations

My new scales giving me different readings depending on where on the floor I put them. Weighing myself weekly as I've started Couch to 5k and the first week the scales said I'd lost 1.3kg. Weighed myself again this morning and the first reading was that I'd lost 400g. Moved the scales and tried again, weight had stayed the same. Moved them again and it said I'd put on 300g. Tried them in two places in the lounge as well and there was 2.6kg between the two readings. I'm going to give up weighing myself and just do the running.

You will put on weight running that’s for sure.
Steady state running is not the best for weight loss

Getting a bit fitter is my main goal, with any associated weight loss an added bonus. Giving up drinking will be the main thing that will get the weight down as I'm no longer pouring half a bottle of brandy down my neck each night. If you, or anyone else, can recommend an exercise that will get me fitter and help me lose weight then I'd be very grateful. I absolutely hate running but so far have managed to drag myself out 6 times each week in all weathers.

Steady state may not be the best, but it burns calories so it certainly helps.

Burn more calories than you put in your body and you will lose weight.

What's steady state running?

What's steady state running?

I would class it as running at a steady pace for a period of time. “LISS” is low intensity steady state exercise, generally exercising at a low heart rate (compared to max) for a prolonged period of time.

“HIIT” High intensity interval training, where you work for a short period of time, 30 seconds at close to max effort, then rest for 30 seconds and repeat is said to give better results for weight loss, one of the reasons being your body burns calories at a higher rate for longer once you have finished exercising.

Cheers. Then that's what I'm doing at the minute. After 20+ years of almost no exercise and eating, drinking and smoking too much I need to start fairly slowly before I build it up to anything more intense.

I’m definitely not an expert, but for me there are two different ways to look at it. Doing exercise will get you fitter, sorting out what you eat will make you lose weight. Combine the two and you’re onto a winner.

It’s a journey, and a tough one at that. The best way to be sure of results is to be consistent.

Don’t really want to get in any debate with anyone about running but I guarantee I could help you considering get fitter,stronger and lose weight if you want.
The only thing I would ask is for total commitment.
Google steady state running and it will tell you why it might not help you lose weight.
Look up Cortisol
Running 6 days a week is also not good especially based on what your saying,your body needs time to recover to get the best results.
If you were experience than that’s a different story.

Oh, that is interesting. I wish I'd known that 30 years ago. I hated running, but thought it was good for me, to lose weight?.
Good job I played a lot of squash as well. I loved that. From what you say that did me more good?
Late seventies now,so running is long time ago.i have found ,however, that swinging on the range most days kept the waist trimmer?

Get yourself a decent jump rope (skipping rope) from Amazon- helped me lose 2.5 stones last year and still losing/maintaining so far this year. Takes a while to master and is really frustrating sometimes but 10-15 minutes 3/4 times a week has done me well???

I've been asked to travel into the office on Wednesdays, because Weds morning they have team meeting so everyone can 'touch base' or whatever. So here I am and today's meeting didn't even happen. No explanation or anything.
