    I weighed myself on Monday (I think) so I'll be sure to do it again next Monday and let you know!

    Hey everyone!

    Just checking in and keeping myself accountable. I have done good so far monday and tuesday with food. I went to the gym Monday and I feel good already! Hoping I can keep it up over the weekend because thats my downfall! Ive been stepping on the scale and Im seeing the weigh come off already! So I am trying to use that for motivation!

    Yes, that old favourite of mine, hand running. You know, you sort of run...on your hands! :)

    In all seriousness now, have you tried just using a punch bag...maybe a bit of wii boxing...?

    Ley1, Poor you. that happens to my husband all the time. make sure to rest it a bit or it will keep you out of action for longer.

    Cataclysm, I am irish but living in singapore at the moment, hence the early weight loss post last friday! Can't believe its friday tomorrow. Don't think I have lost anything since last week. Please let there be no gain. fingers crossed. Good luck everyone! xxx

    Are you able to go to a gym? You can do great cross training with all the weights. Or you could set up a program at home - sit ups/push ups/various upper body arm exercises. If you do them as a circuit you would still burn calories and be able to give your leg a rest. Plus you'd be building some muscle!

    Doing well, nervous about weighing in tomorrow as this is my last big weigh-in before holiday and I really want to be a little (ok, a lot) smaller before I get on that beach! Working out like a mad woman so I can finish one of my other MFP challenges on time. Let's hope it's worth it. Everyone having a good day? And what's for dinner?

    Arrggghhhh! I knew this week wasn't a good one. Too many treats altogether! Just weighed myself and up half a pound. Not too disappointed though. I thought it would be more and I lost way more than expected last week so I am still on track overall. Going to be more well behaved this week!
    Hope everyone does better than I did!
    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    Gain this week: 0.5 pounds

    scales were switching between 184/185 so i'll go with 185 which means i'm -1lb :)

    considering i thought i would sport a gain (especially as pms is here) i'm a happy gal :)

    Ley1 -1lb (-5lb total)

    Hi everyone.

    I'm having a better week this week. Just have to get through till Sunday morning weigh-in without blowing it.

    It is my son's birthday today and I have just made an enormous chocolate cake - OH NO! I hear you cry!!! - but I don't like them so can look at it and leave it. The crisps will be calling my name, at the party later but hopefully a load of boys full of sugar and E numbers will drown them out!!!!!!

    Have a great day everyone, XXX Carol
