catsmother21 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 One of my New Year's resolutions was to start using my exercise bike again which I hadn't been anywhere near for a year due to post viral fatigue, depression and sleep deprivation. Then I got a nasty virus which scuppered that for another couple of weeks but I have started today I am going to be doing 10 mins every other day and will build it up from there. I am doing this for my general fitness and my mental health and if I lose a few pounds along the way then that will be great too! :bike: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsmother21 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well I'm still using my exercise bike. I am now doing 30 mins every other day which = 5 miles and burning 250 calories off each time! And, as an added bonus, I've lost an inch from my waist and an inch from my hips since I started. I am going to stay at the 30 mins every other day now because it is mainly for my mental health and general fitness and I don't want to lose too much weight because I can't afford a whole new wardrobe at the moment!

Dibley Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well done. I use ours a lot as well, I like to read while on there as it passes time so much quicker. I normally do 25k which is 570 calories, but I've been on and off all day, and lost 1229 today, but I did that as a one off so I can eat my easter egg! Pleased you have lost weight, that always feels good doesn't it? xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsmother21 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks HH - Yeah it does feel good some lose some weight - I lost 2 stone last year (due to being ill) which I needed to lose but I've put half a stone back on since I've been on my new meds and eating properly again and didn't want it to slowly start creeping back up again.

Dibley Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I understand, it's worrying when weight starts creeping on. I remember the pictures you posted last year, and you looked so good, great figure and you looked so happy with it. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benway Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've started using mine again too. Helps deal with anxiety & restlessness i get a lot. And its nice to be 'tired' for real, fall into bed, no sleepers. Well done on the weight loss. Could lose an inch or 2 meself. HH enjoy your easter egg. Love n hugs xx am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsmother21 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yes it does help with sleep as well. No Easter Egg for me as I've cut chocolate and bread out of my diet as well BUT I have allowed myself a little packet of buttons and because I've not had chocolate for a while now, I know they are going to taste like heaven xx Much love xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibley Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 ( I was sick all night, I think I exercised too much, and just ate chocolate and wine) You should be pleased you've cut out chocolate. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsmother21 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Oh no - hope you're feeling a bit better now . I had my buttons and they were gorgeous - chocolate definitely tastes better when you haven't had it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
