Honestly Jopo you're never still longer enough to retain water or any other calorie ladened thing!!

It's being in a relationship John. 😀
Have you been told that you could have water retention yet like I have 😈😀

Yeah JW, flexible, strong & fast like a cat ha ha ha! Not still long enough to catch calories 😀

Hunter-gatherer, no need it's all in the local bakers.🙂
Too late for my soul Liz.🙂

Yoga!!! not sure about that Liz🙂
LMS, flexible???...think thats a whole new thread.

Hi Tinks, missing you and Cathy and our girly giggle tiimes. Sorry not found any more interesting profiles yet for you to ogle 😀

Bustagut,have you never watched Father Ted, if not why not. Very,very,very,very funny.
And yes my cakes are divine,blokes can't get enough of them...

Haha MD 😈😈😈😈

I'm sure your cakes are just devine MD😋😋 (must have missed the Craggy Island thing)

LMS is Yoga queen of the northwest lol!!!! A strong style of yoga will help you to balance your metabolism & keep you fit, healthly & flexible 😀 Been teaching it for 15 years now in addition to fitness etc...

She does if you visit Craggy Island, other than that you will have to wait for my lovely treats...
My lovely cakes I mean, 😀

Does Mrs Doyle have the treats?????🙂

We all come in different shapes and sizes, its about how fit and active we are, not how much we weigh that counts. Often we are judged by how we look and not by who we are. Enjoy a treat now and then Johnwalking 🙂
As Mrs Doyle would say ,go on go on go on go on 🙂

🙂🙂🙂🙂 Love you Christine 🙂🙂🙂

Feel great Peppa......room for improvement though and can't understand why I havn't lost any weight despite cutting out a lot of junk food.

And you do bake a great cake CW.

Problem is Rourky I do like my food and Can't find enough time to balance it out with exercise.
However I am determined to reach 12 1/2 stone by South Downs weekend. Self controll required☹

Hey John dont you go bothering with diets and all that faddy mubo jumbo nonsense, if you want a Mr Kippling loyalty card or one from Greggs for that matter, you go ahead and get one mate. Theres no magic, its perfectly simple as ive been teaching the kids today in a PE lesson, its energy balance, if calories going in exceed the calories burnt off (no matter what exercise type) then you put on weight, if reversed you lose weight, simple! Stay away from BMIs as well (sorry Cat)theyre not accurate as take no account of muscle mass. I could go on but only have 700 characters.

Diets, as Jim Royal from the Royal Family says, "my ar#e" you enjoy your food mate, but as Cat says, moderation

We all know whats the best way of burning off those calories and excess fat and thats doing a good walk every weekend preferably up some steep hills and mountains as this gives the body more than a good work out and you can eat your cake too.😀😀 Just stay of the fatty stuff.🙂

As suggested above JW you could be losing weight but putting muscle on, try to do more aerobic exercise and sweat the weight off (indoor trainer with bin liner on and fire on full works!) and count calories in and out, good luck. 😀

Thats the problem Busta 🙂

He He......mmmmmmm cake...😀😀

Bustagut, I was referring to volume really, the same weight of muscle is smaller than the lump of lard. You'll have to cut down on the walker's penchant for cakes!

Set myself a target to get down from 13 1/4 stone to 12 1/2 stone before the summer, looking at comments going to have to look closer at my diet..thought it was going to be easy.

Throw the scales away ! If you eat less (low Fat )you will lose inches but not necessary lose wieght. Excersise certainly helps but dont think it helps to lose wieght.☹>:☹☹

Perhaps I should lay off the cake...big ask.

Fast for 2 days (500 calories) but not 2 days together and eat healthy for 5. Or just Dont eat at all,that normally works x

people say eating no later than 7.30 pm gives your metabolism to digest food before it begins to slow down for the day. There is also the train of thought that says "little and often" - not big meals and also lean chicken and fish rather than red meat. Your stamina and general fitness John is not in question so I would suggest that you change your mid week form of exercise. Maybe Lesley Wills could offer better advise 🙂

Not sure about on Anglesy Mag, but in most places a pound of muscle will weigh the same as a pound of fat!! It's hard work JW, I've been walking to work the last few weeks, only a couple of miles each way but it's just about starting to make a difference. I can now run up the very short flight of stairs at work without passing out at the top and I'm not having to strain quite as much to fasten my troosers in the morning. Just stick at it and go off how you feel rather than what you weigh.🙂🙂

Yep, muscle weighs more than fat!

Nice thought Tinks, just had a peak and waist line looks the same. Perhaps there is some toning up going on underneath.🙂

Weighting the same is one thing but are you looking trimmer ( have you got a waist line now ) as you could be toning up but gaining muscle 🙂
