Re: 2018 weight loss thread

The angel on one shoulder is willing you on, patting your back and hoping you achieve your LWT objective.

The devil on the other shoulder has a big piece of chocolate cake with your name on it 😂

Re: fall team challenge

Well done to the team - fully braced for the traditional last minute metre deluge but looking good with only a day left.

You're very welcome. In return, I'm going to completely ignore your HM PB :lol:

In - fortunately fleeting - moments, I am drawn towards the right hand end of your signature table.

Team Guy.

Forgot to post this prior to my sniffles (good luck avoiding them!) so there might be a little to nibble off this time.

Well, couldn't resist joining the fun any longer. Great efforts all round! Tried to hold to the 2km +logic noted earlier, and it felt horrible. Wanted to try to get close to 18 minutes, and am pretty pleased with the result. Also gives me at least a day or two before Dave knocks those seconds off an...

More of a slow shuffle. There's no immediate risk of me gaining 7 points though (5km and FM are potentially soft 🤫).

Re: The Interactive Plan (IP)

Well, the wheels had to fall off at some stage.... I reached the end of the first hard week (second time through after a false start), and I'm utterly drained. 5x 10min, 2.5r @ 2.02 was beyond me today though more intense evening circuits classes have not helped. Almost looking forward to next week'...

Re: The Interactive Plan (IP)

Ut1, 3x14minutes (3.30r) An interesting comparison to the above. Even more solidly cv (borderline recovery), which given the hm pb of yesterday, is definitely a good sign. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181001/ce82dcb5d8efeac6a8437a463810f608.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181001/bd2b419...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Fueled by the success of only needing an hour to find a misplaced cooking pan in the loft, and assembling a piece of IKEA furniture without having to swear or take it apart because of misreading the instructions, I felt the omens were aligned for a hm. I'd had several aborted attempts over the last ...

Last throw of the dice for me. Thought I could get close to 1.52 average (if not a little below).
As it turned out, a little below [emoji16]Image

I readily admit to being talentless in this respect, but with the agreement and input of Roger and Gillian would there be any value in putting up posters (along the lines attached) for this - I know I and some others row in gyms?
