Absolutely - and its worked very well for me

In fact I'm so much fitter that just before Christmas I entered for a half-marathon (ahem power) walk in May in aid of Breast Cancer (The Moon Walk). Just got to get over my chest infection so I can get back to my training - was working up gradually but have just lost the last week and I was on a ten week schedule - aargh

Working for me too Sunny, watching what I eat, exercising twice a week, lost 3 lbs the past week! Don't have much to lose but it's what you feel happy with isn't it? Good luck with the half-marathon. I'm just glad that the lighter nights are coming so I can get back out on my bike.

Always fall off bikes myself

But you are right. I have never been on a proper "diet" in my life but last year suddenly realised the weight was creeping on. I've lost a stone and a half and I feel good. Its been really gradual a couple of pounds at a time but it has stayed off. Had to have all my business suits altered - yay!!

But of course Cadbury's have gone bankrupt Marks and Spencers on the other hand are reporting record profits on their meringues

Diets don't work! Weight has a habit of creeping on as we get a wee bit older (sorry don't know how old you are but I'm hitting the big 40 this year). Gradual is good, the only way to go. See I'm lucky I don't do chocolate but I DO do crisps, peanuts etc. I work my diet around those things so I can have them if I need them.

Totally agree.

They say we actually need that little bit of extra weight to protect us as we age but they don't specify how much do they?

You will survive the big 40 after all life begins then doesn't it?

*thinks - we're not really off topic are we?*

It certainly will, I've being saying that since I was in my early 20's.

cos I had my kids so young.

Its all in the mind - though the kids may have caused a few grey hairs

Actually it was my ex who caused most of my grey hairs

Tell me about it

(Though in fairness mine is now white - that's ex's hair not mine)

Think we may be off topic now - expecting this to be moved to the topicism thread

Well anyway *ahem*... wtf is this thread about anyway? Oh yeah fit farm, looked good tonight.

OK I can't take all the credit - he did start going grey in his early twenties!

OK out of sync now

Not watching fit farm - I can watch people exercise in the gym don't need to watch them on tv.

No I'm not watching it either

All it is, is eating less and excerising more and you can really lose weight. I go to the gym 3 times a week, it's a real effort to go but once I've been I feel great, it releases endophines in your brian that make you feel good, the more weight you lose the more it makes you feel good But you have to lose weight because you want to and if you are committed then it will work!
