I find the only way to deal with cheese is just not buy it! well we get a bit of parmesan to use in recipes .. Afraid I'm lucky enough to have a husband who does the main supermarket shop at around 7 am every Friday morning ... on the other hand there is *always* lots of cheese - which he likes so that's fair enough. I should have more self control!

Suze, been meaning to ask you... whats the best (and quickest) way to get my cycling fitness back up? Long, intermediate routes or shorter, harder routes? Flat with steady incline and speed, or hilly? Obviously, the latter fills me with fear and is nigh impossible for me to do right now, but if the best route to fitness is hills, then hills I shall be attempting!

hiya, I'm not an expert, but I think you have to start on the flat to get some muscles and strength going ...
as far as speed, you should aim to do interval training, here's a quote from a mate of mine who is a personal trainer!
when it comes to cardio one of the best things you can do is Interval Training. I do this with my running and it works just the same for Cycling and Rowing also.
Basically as the name suggests you switch between steady pace and sprint pace at regular intervals. For example... 3 mins normal pace then 1 min sprint. Repeat this for about 20-30 mins. This greatly improves your Cardiovascular system as well as increasing your Lacate tolorence so you won't tire as easy. You can also vary it with hill climbs instead of sprints if you like. Give it a go and see if you like it. (if you need more info just let me know)

I've started to do something like this with my walking, walk superfast for five minutes at a time, almost jogging. Then walking gently, for about 15, then superfast for another five.

I just go superfast at all times, presumably I should slow down occasionally.

Well done suze ..
I'm going to take this seriously now - afraid it means noting what I eat but I'll do that in my own thread with the pedometer photos rather than clogging up this one. One foot has swollen right up again and my joints hurt, so something needs doing - walked briskly for an hour today on the flat, along the Bristol/Bath cycle path. I've also told my 10 stone husband I need to diet so I'm going to do my own thing sometimes. He may have the size and metabolism of Frankie Detorri but I don't!

Pleased to see that jsut before xmas I was still around this weight .. which means I've done maintenance for 6 months .. which I am pleased with I am now a bit fearful to get on the scales, cos I think I voerate in the past two or three weeks, even though we tried not to! I am going to be strict again and will weigh in next week!
