MancWanderer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 A while ago I set a target of 178lbs. I’m currently 203lbs. Anyone who knows me would know that I shouldn’t be anywhere near over 14 stones. Never mind heading towards 15 at a rapid rate. Its booze. Simple as. Lockdown has killed me. If I could cycle regularly on the Fylde or North Wales coasts and do a ton of walking in The Lakes and The Peak District, as usual, the weight would really start to fly off Gonna do the same as I did when I gave up the cigs. Get through my stash and then knock the booze on the head completely. No specific date but when it’s gone I’ll buy no more til I reach my weight target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyHWanderer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Been pretty good with the gym and running the last few months. Hoping to have a bit of a health kick from Monday and kick on a bit. Got a Garmin vivoactive 3 for xmas which seems pretty good so far, makes it a lot easier to try and keep on top of calories in/out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Have to say that this iWatch that Mrs Manc got me for Xmas is quite good Entered some goals into it and the fucking nazi on my wrist mithers me all day long if I’ve been sat down for too long or not walked about enough. Its worse than she is. Just waiting for it to tell me to start fucking decorating or make the tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 4 years ago I was running 5 or 6 times a week, competing in ultras, long distance fell races etc then I got a series of injuries. That's culminated in 2020 being my least active year, an ever growing belly and a wardrobe of medium size clothes I can no longer get into. Fresh start on Monday. If I've not lost at least a stone by March I'm giving up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is plus the gym at work so it’s easy to be addictive. It would be lower but I’m not a strong swimmer at all.
