I use both As in, I find it easier to visualise like you in stones But when weighing in on a regular basis find it easier to just count down the numbers I know 182lb is 13 stone That's my target Find it easier to see progress counting down from 200lb through to 182lb than 14st 2lbs to 13lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted January 2 Site Supporter Share Posted January 2 Who the fuck uses pounds only except yanks? It's all KG in this household but I still check in stones and pounds for some weird reason. Let's all be honest, imperial measurements are dog shit.

Night time fell race on Darwen moor in February. What's not to like? https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&event_id=11473 Only just seen this – looks good. Sold out. Damn. I’ve go the Anglezarke Amble the week after (24 miles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Yep, sold out rapidly. Waiting list is growing too. I'll be announcing a reccy of the course beforehand soon if you are interested in having a look?

I’m still not running, giving it another few days rest maybe a week or so. Have got the Manchester Marathon in April, agreed to do it again, but not that excited by the prospect. And doing a skyline run in August in Wales – which clashes with the Gisburn Forest half that I really fancied doing this year. Looking for a couple of Ultras mid year as well, but undecided yet. Do like these LDWA events – very easy on the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 True about LDWA. Reccy will be one night soon. Probably a Tues night, possibly 16th, so I can incorporate it into club fell run. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Watched 2 episodes of “You Are What You Eat” on Netflix last night. Food for thought! (See what I did there). But already makes you wanna choose alternatives to meat when you watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I viewed only so far on this thread and pinched ideas for you good people. So my story. My weight was generally okay around 12 and a half stone which I was happy with but during covid a combination of working from home and eating shit food I ballooned to 16st 2lb. My regular blood tests raised the issue of my cholesterol being dangerously high and this was discussed with my GP. She wanted me to start taking statins but as you are then on them for life it wasn’t something I was too keen on. The alternative was to eat healthier and exercise more, I can’t go running as I have a dodgy knee, but I can get more steps in so this is what I did. I started my healthy diet on 10th January 2023 and so my weight is now down to 13st 6lb but I want to get back to 12st 6lb by the summer. Ive learnt to love salads again, don’t miss the takeaways and have drunk less than 3 bottles of red wine since I started. I do still like a drink but it’s now G&T with slimline tonic. I also have 2 days a month off my healthier eating were I might eat got out for a meal or have a few beers and a pie at the match. Thanks for reading and if I can do it, I have no willpower whatsoever then anyone can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
