So a quick introduction (as it's midnight and I have work tomorrow!).
I'm 23, 5'3, weigh around 150 pounds (but will confirm that as I get more routined with my weighing & measuring).
I have a cross trainer, it's quite a sturdy model, seems to work the legs more than the arms but it's better than nothing.
I have a push bike which I occasionally commute to work on (short journey, it's more pleasurable than a work out) but I plan to start doing some decent miles on it.
I've also been training for roller derby for around a month now. Got a decent pair of skates and a growing confidence on them (as well as the neccessary pads and helmet!).
I managed to slim down to around 140 pounds last year by using the cross trainer daily and weighing my food to keep my daily calorie intake between 1500-1800. I lost quite a few inches all over the place by doing this. I have since put the weight back on because I've let life get on top of me.
This time around I'd like to drop a little weight and lose some inches but I know that I'm gonna increase my muscle with the stuff I'll be doing, so weight isn't so important. I mainly just want to get fit and build up my stamina so that I can kick some roller derby ass (and feel good!).
I'll try and post some stats soon!
