Now your asking. I cant remember off top of head. one for BP and one for diabetes.

No problem, I was just wondering, I also am type 2 so any advice you need don't hesitate to message me. Take care.

Aye will do mate. cheers for that.

Defo. Kick up the arse to get more serious re. fitness and eating and cut back on the drink.

Stafford 1/2 marathon this morning finished in 1.44.15

Was a bit wary of the adductor strain so didn’t really go for it but still happy with the effort.

That’s a very good time!

I wen to physical therapy this week for my knee and they did dry needling. Amazingly I’m feeling a ton less pain, hoping this works as I will be able to start running more regularly, hopefully drop some weight and get back in shape.

That’s good news.

Back at the gym today after a few years away from it.

Forgot how good you feel after it.

So I've just finally had enough of being overweight. Going to try and be disciplined with my diet as I work back into shape with running and biking. I need to lose almost 35 lbs if I'm being honest. Today is day one....weighed in at 212. I'm going to check in on this thread every once in awhile in an attempt to help stay on course and be accountable. Maybe you guys can get on  my case if I fall off the horse. Hoping to lose about 1.5 stone by my birthday in May.

Good luck mate.

Your goals and mindset aren't far off mine either.

Just stuck in a rut and finally had enough of being overweight.

I'm looking to lose just over 2 stone and ideally would like between 1 and 1.5 off by my birthday in May.

3lbs off after day one so a good start, although I know it's not going to be like that everyday I'm happy with that.

Same here. But I will tell you, the nice part is when you are heavier, it seems to be easier to lose quicker. Once you get towards your target weight, that's when it slows down and takes some patience and perseverance. Good luck to you, let's keep an eye on each other in this thread and we'll get it done!!

Know all about it mate. Been through it before and it falls off at the start but isn't long slowing up again.

Yes pal we'll keep in touch.

Never made it to the gym today, wife has a big so I've been stuck in the house watching the wee man.

Hopefully back at it tomorrow.

Not sure if you have Netflix or not but I noticed they now have some Nike workout videos on there. Might be giving a couple of those a try just as an alternative when I can't make it out for a run or a bike. Might be worth checking out!

That’s tough mate, hopefully feeling better and good luck for race day.

Got a couple of marathons coming up, first of which is in under 2 weeks in Barcelona. Funny one because I ran a good 21 miles the other week and my training has been fairly consistent but not feeling great. Diet hasn’t been the best which could be a big factor, probably not drinking enough water either. Weight a bit higher than I had planned so my runs aren’t as comfortable as I would like them to be.

Anyway still got 2 weeks of prep and will try to make it count, better diet, more water, a lot of stretching and recovery stuff. Hopefully feeling better come race day.

How did you get on in Barcelona buddy?

How you getting on mate?

Wife and child had a bug for a few days a few weeks ago so for handiness sake my diet and gym going took a back seat.

Back at it last Monday and have 7lbs off in a week and a half. I'd imagine I'll get another few lb's off this week then that's when it'll start to slow off but happy with how things are going so far.

All I'm doing in the Gym is weights at the minute and then eating good. If I could be arsed doing some cardio or taking myself out for an hours  walk a few times a week that'll help but the weathers been sh*te and I get bored after 10 minutes on a treadmill.

I've been back on the bike which is something. I think I'm down about 7 lbs from where I started. Mostly from cutting back on calories. Just haven't been able to put in enough long calorie burning exercise sessions to start melting off that extra weight. Heading to physical therapy shortly. I think it's helping a little bit but certainly no silver bullet at this point. Biking is ok, running I'm not quite ready for yet, hoping to get some of this inflammation in my knee down and see if I can start running and maintain. Getting old is for suckers!!
