Hey everyone I'm Kayleigh, 21 years old and from Bournemouth in England. I study graphic design and web design at uni, and work as a waitress in a hotel.
My goal weight is currently 133lb, but as I have no idea what I'll look like at that weight that may change! I also want to be fitter and healthier and more toned. I'm going to travel the world once I finish university, and I want to be the confident, happy girl posing in her bikini in all the photos, instead of the self conscious one sucking her tummy in.
I'm currently sticking to around 1500 cals per day and doing an exercise dvd most days.
My downfall foods are chocolate and cupcakes, I have a massive sweet tooth! Also, we get full english breakfasts and croissants for breakfast at work, so hard to resist. I can also see alcohol being an issue once I start back at uni in october, as I'll want to make the most of my final year of being a student and go out all the time!
Good luck everyone, my weight loss has been very slow the past few weeks but I'm hoping to lose something by Monday!0 -
Ladies this is wonderful. We are all in this together and here to support one another.
Thank you for sharing and I am proud of all of us for uniting together here thanks to Rach!
An elliptical trainer is a machine that works the legs and arms and provides a great cardio workout. I don't know how to post a picture so here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_trainer
I'm not familiar with workout DVD's.
How about we set three small goals for ourselves from today until Friday?
Here is mine
Track all my calories/exercise on MFP
Drink at least 8 glasses of water
Get two 5 km walk/runs in
Enjoy the day

I bought mine at Target here in the states. It is about $9, so pretty inexpensive.0 -
Pin-up ladies since we are in this together let's share a few things.

Right well, lets start, my name is Lucy and I'm from the UK. Currently a university student in Wales.
My current goal is to get fitter and healthier and at the moment my weight goal is 154 lbs (gets me into normal BMI range) though I'm sure that'll change once I get down there.
At the moment (while on summer holiday) I'm swimming, running and doing fitness DVDs, making sure I do something everyday. Unfortunately at the moment I have hurt my knee and am having to give myself a rest so I'm REALLY watching what I'm eating knowing I'm not burning a lot off :grumble: I also have stopped snacking on things other than fruit and try and control my portion sizes. It seems to be working so far
My downfall is the fact I love to bake, so I want to bake but I know that if I do I will eat all the cakes and biscuits myself :blushing: also every so often I crave take-out like a BIG Dominoes pizza or a Chinese and that's not good. I haven't caved yet!0 -
Wow! It was awesome to hop on here first thing this morning and read about everyone!!
Okay for my 3 goals this week:
-Drink water every day
-No iced coffee/cappucino/frappe's
-Eating all 3 meals
They seem simple but I struggle with each one. I skip breakfast all the time, I drink away my calories, and simply forget water even exists it seems. Haha.
I'll be on here all day today, because I'm bored at work!0 -
I'd like to join in this fun group I'm 144, and I'd like to be 138 by Halloween and 135 by Thanksgiving. I expect to gain a lot of muscle too :drinker:0

Hi, my name is Sheila. I am 27, and live in Canada. My ultimate goal is to weigh 150 by April of next year. Unfortunately, I do next to no exercise. I am trying to start again, but I find it really hard to get motivated. I am triyng swimming again, but I get so self-concsious in a bathing suit, that I always chicken out. However, September has always been about new beginnings for me (birthday, back to school) so I have decided that I will exercise my butt off (literally and figuratively) this month, and then take it from there. I don't have one particular group of food that would be a downfall, just portion control I guess. I can eat and eat and eat and never feel hungry. I am hoping that the more I control my calories, the more my appetite will also be controlled!
So my three goals for this week would be
- Do all of the exercise activities I have planned
- Make sure that I am eating healthy foods throughout the week
- (so that I can) Enjoy myself at my birthday party on friday night, and not stress about eating a little extra!0 -
Happy September ladies!! New month...New goals...New Challenges It's gonna be another great month, I can feel it! And I REALLLY Fall!!
HAPPY HUMP DAY TOO:bigsmile: , Weekend is almost here again and our baby turns 2 Saturday
OOOppps posted this on the other thread, lol, so here it is again!!0 -
This was the first thing I checked this morning, even before email! I'm loving reading everybody's stories. We are all different, yet the same ;-) I also like seeing how we are all over the world! I'm originally from Southern California, but I'm in Texas now.
I just wanted to post my goals for the week too. I try to think about them on Mon. morn, but I often forget about them. Maybe this will help?
1. exercise every day
2. drink 8 glasses of water. (for some reason this is the one I struggle with. Silly)
3. no snacking after 8!
Please feel free to add me ;-)0 -
This is a GREAT group. Hope I'm not too late to join.........Starting weight is 179lbs! xxxx0

Thanks for the tips. The elliptical sounds like the cross trainer here. I managed to find the '30 day shred' on UK Amazon and have already ordered it so with some luck I'll be having my first crack at it this weekend!
The three goals idea is great! Mine are:
1. to only have one gin and slimline tonic when I go out after work tonight and possibly stretch to two at the most but definitely no more!
2. get to the gym or do another class both tomorrow and Friday.
3. Try and have dinner by 7pm each day.
Have a good day!0 -
So far I'm sticking to my 3 goals!! Hurray! I'm going to start the Couchto5k tonight too. I downloaded some decent podcasts someone put together for them. :drinker:0

Boo hoo......jumped on the scales this morning and I weigh a pound heavier! Wish I hadn't got on the scales now. Must wait til Monday. Must wait til Monday........0

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.
Basically you join a league (the one I started begins on 9/6, ends on 10/4, and is open to anyone) and you just log in all the exercise you do. You get points based on each exercise. The league gets split into teams and you compete to see which team can get the most points. I think it's fun and it motivates me to do maybe some extra pushups here or situps there to earn some extra points. Please join!!!
Once you create a profile, on the left under your little calender, you'll see the open league called 'Pin-up Girls'
Hope you guys join!! :flowerforyou:0 -
