    Have just joined this group today, today has turned into somewhat of a fasting day (unintentionally) and am about to enjoy my supper! Managed 7km worth of power walking to and fro work too :) feeling good!

    Well done all!

    Awesome for the power walking, poppycoo!

    Today has been pretty good. I did fifty laps at the pool, so I feel refreshed :)

    So far so good, going to make dinner soon. I did exercise this morning, I did a Jessica Smith dvd and I also did my therapy exercises for my knees. For the past several days I have lost control in the evenings. After the kids go to bed I want to relax with food. 8pm is the witching hour for me...

    Well done today everyone :)

    It is 10am here in Aus but so far so good. I really didn't want to hit the gym this morning but dragged myself out of bed and had a great workout. Hopefully I can top it off with a healthy lunch and dinner!

    Had a good day today with healthy eating at a deficit and got in a good 40 min workout this evening.

    Good job!! It's always so hard for me to get motivated to workout after getting home from work. I need to get like you! :)

    Haha I'm the same way!! I almost wish I could go to bed at like 7pm to avoid those late night cravings. Great job with the workouts :)

    Today was the last day for my mom to be in town and she really wanted Wingstop for dinner. No, she did not hold a gun to my head and make me eat Wingstop, but I caved. I did just go bust my *kitten* in Zumba though.

    Well done to everybody! Just on my way to work now (UK start at7am) and will be doing my usual power walk to and from the hospital :) hoping to eat more today as I had a 732 deficit after all my exercise yesterday and missed lunch after getting stuck in London on my way home...! By the time I picked my children up it was nearly tea time so no point!

    Day started with a power pack class of ZUMBA... God my trainer is a killer but then I adore her for pushing us our limits and not give up by the end of the class... had a nice hot breakfast and teamed it with Fresh Coconut Water . Exercising portion control. Eating after every 2 hours. So far So good. :)

    Today has been good, managed not to skip lunch as got home on time, plus my two power walks, leaving me with a good deficit :) Managed to cover 12km altogether today and 16000 steps :)

    Loki g forward to tomorrow, I always take Saturday's off 'Fat Saturday's!' Just to maintain my sanity. I don't go crazy but I do eat some of those things I miss throughout the week, homemade focaccia is currently in the oven as we speak :)

    Hop you are all doing well in your journies :)

    I ate at a deficit and still was able to have a wonderful dinner with calories left over to enjoy some wine with my husband later tonight. It was super hot today compared to what it's been but I got in a little over a 4 mile run this afternoon too. Sweated like crazy!!

    I've got a 40-calorie deficit, largely due to not snacking when I got home.

    Today has gone well, apart from a 13.5 hour shift :( I'm finding on my days at work I don't get to eat back my power walking calories but still eat between 1000-1200 kcals... Not even sure if this is ok??!! Hasn't served me bad so far though so trying not to over think it!

    How is everyone doing today? I pre-logged my food so I know what I can eat and still meet my calorie goals. It takes some time in the morning, but it's working!

    I do exactly this on my work days....! I have already logged my foods for tomorrow and so if any sneaky digestives come into the mix I know whether or not I'm allowed them! Haha! Well done :)

    Big fan of pre-logging, I do it every morning. I ate at the high end of my calories today and had some pasta (still at a deficit) because tomorrow is a running day and I felt really sluggish on my last run. Trying to motivate to go do a workout video as soon as my daughter falls asleep which I don't think will be anytime soon since she got a new cat today and is in her room with it totally not sleeping.
