SuperBacon Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Half marathon in a dog outfit day for me. Equal measure fear and excitement. Best of luck...is this in or around the Windsor area by any chance? If it is, I'll be there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2017 Cheers guys. 1:53 in the dog suit. Very pleased considering I was wearing what was basically an electric blanket on my bonce. Think I may well do next year sans dumb outfit and get under 1:40. Although I did it for charity in the outfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Got a CT scan on Wednesday to see what is festering in my lung. Â Still in immense pain and signed off work, which is a downer as I'm a temp and don't get sick pay. Â Work called me on Friday to see how I was getting on and said they support me 100% and hope to see me soon. Â They called today and sacked me.

King of Hamptons Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've been doing Slimming World for about 6 months now and I finally got my 2st certificate last night. I'm so pleased! I've been hovering for ages and I lost 4lbs this week knocking me just over. I've now lost 6st in total from when I was at my heaviest 8 years ago when I generally wore men's clothes and was a 52" waist (size 28 ladies) and now I'm wearing size 16 jeans. Â Just wanted to share Well done! I lost 9st with slimming World a few years ago, i'm just saving up to become a Slimming World consultant. Great work ! Keep it up!

MungoChutney Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Great stuff KoH. I'm down 19lbs since January by following the SW plan. Not interested in doing the classes but my missus has an online membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted March 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks KoH! Had a bit of a off week with the diet though... I had a biopsy on Sunday for skin cancer so it's rattled me a bit. Trying not to let it get to me but I don't get the results for 4-6 week.

Keith Houchen Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Shit is it that long? Got my CT scan on that thing in my lung tomorrow. Hope it turns out well, Monkee. You're far too good a person for that to happen to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted March 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) They're not *too* worried but I have a lot of moles so they're just checking this one as it's a different colour and shape to the others. I had one on the back of my knee lopped off and a biopsy on a shoulder one. It's just a precaution but still... Â Good luck for tomorrow too. Hope they get something for you soon x Edited March 21, 2017 by Monkee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D@mm Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Good luck to Monkee and Keith at the hospital. hope it goes well for you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just began a membership at the gym. £25 for usage of the gym and swimming facilities for a month, which to me sounds like a decent offer. Just looking for some general advice in terms of where to begin recently. I went to the gym a couple of years back with the mindset of "eating loads of shit counts as bulking intake and bench pressing 3 times a week will get you ripped!!!" and consequently just ended up getting a stomach on me. I'm mainly looking at just losing the fat on my body and trying to tone it into some sort of muscle. Are there any routines/diets people wouldn't mind pointing me in the direction of? Would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Body4life. Weights then swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FailedPromoter Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 CavemanLynn is spot on. I had been doing it the other way round and seeing small progress, mainly cos by the time I'd finish cardio work, my body would be fucked for weights. Swapped over after doing some digging online and in past 4 weeks I've dropped 22lbs.  If there's an Xercise 4 Less near you, they've got an offer on til 10pm tonight on their site if you use the promo code "NOW", you get first month free (barring an admin fee of £15-20 I believe) then each following month is £9.99. Only negative is a lack of pool, but I end up using my local pool for a couple of quid a pop once a week so it counters that for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
