    Welcome to the UK thread. It is good that you are setting out targets. 5k in 5 weeks is a good start. Good luck to you.

    Hello to all you UKers! I am indeed new here, but who can say no to motivation and support!

    I put on 6lbs over Christmas but managed to pretty much lose it again. I'm feeling positive! Just getting ready to hit the gym with my mate, then we're spending a night eating healthy and playing Just Dance 2! That game really works up a sweat :)

    James - if you can find anything in Guildford that is not on a Monday night I would be well up for that! Sounds fun!

    Hi, it's been lovely reading your posts and seeing how friendly everyone is. Been a member of MFP for quite a while but moved house and forgot all about dieting!! Lost 20lbs initally, put 12lb of that back on and got a total of 25lb to lose to get back to my pre baby weight (baby is now not so much a baby, now a 2 year old!!). Anyway, hope to chat to you all and joing in the support groups x

    James (my boyfriend) and I played 'Just Dance & Just Dance 2' the first time with some friends of mine on New years... we loved it so much we went out and brought a wii the next day just for the game ha ha! It certainly does make you work up a sweat!! :bigsmile:

    WOW! I go off to work for a day and the thread EXPLODED! LOL. Great to see so many people here ('newbies' and 'oldies' - James and KP it's great to see you back!) and feeling fit and ready to tackle the xmas weight :happy:

    I'm really proud of myself today: eaten well, did loads of chores, exercised and ready for a good sleep!

    Mat - travel wise your plan sounds great but I don't want to go by myself and don't have anyone to take :ohwell: Only real opportunity is to go on a singles holiday where you make lovely new friends, at least for the time that you're on holiday! :laugh:

    Hope to be able to catch up with more of everybody's posts tomorrow as I can't stay online long since the kitchen is calling for me to make tomorrows lunch!

    Look forward to reading more from you all x

    "WOW! I go off to work for a day and the thread EXPLODED! LOL. Great to see so many people here ('newbies' and 'oldies' - James and KP it's great to see you back!) and feeling fit and ready to tackle the xmas weight"

So in usual cinema fashion i head for the pick n mix n get a bag.. and for the first time it was under £2... lol usually im the one that gets the bag thats £3-£4... :noway: ! So that was a good thing.. anyways i didnt have any chocolates in there... just the fizzy ones... :) all in all i was still under my cals for the day so im not going to be bumed out about it!

    Hows your week going?

    I woke up at 3am with a killer sore throat and dehydration. Didn't get much sleep after that. Still feeling pretty crook now. Hopefully it isn't going to turn in to something worst. Not after just getting started again down the gym and eating properly.

    Apart from that everything is sweet.

    Hello everyone and thanks for being such a welcoming lot!

    I'm having a good week so far - been to the gym three times already and hoping to make it four before the week is out. I've been under my calorie limit since Monday so all is looking good! Just can't wait to weigh in on Saturday morning :smile:

    Talking about alternative forms of exercise I'd quite like to start rollerblading again when the weather is warmer. Not that I'm any good at it (I have to have pads all over the place haha) but it's good fun.

    Hope you feel better very soon Mat!

    Evening all!

    I've been really peckish all day today and it's upset me a bit because I'm determined to be good and get below 12st for the first time in goodness knows how long! Thankfully I've done some exercise and come in under my cal goal although I used up most of my exercise calories which I never do. Hopefully I'll be able to think of something healthy for dinner tomorrow night.

    KP - planning to go see LAOD tomorrow afternoon as it's the last week it's going to be on at our cinema and need to see it!!!! Then off to see The King's Speech *hopefully* on Sunday. I have a monthly cinema pass but hardly use it during the winter, time to start making use of it again. Thankfully I have no problem keeping away from the pick n mix and my friend hates the smell of coffee so I don't have a cappucino when she's there which probably helps me out calorie wise too :ohwell:

    ifeelsqueaky - I bought a pair of rollerboots in 2004 and still haven't used them! Must get over my fear of other people laughing at me and just get out there with my boots. Am sure I'll get the hang of it again!

    Hope you've all had a good day and looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. I definitely need to think of something different to do as I can feel the rot already setting in again and need to blow the cobwebs away! Think a day in London is in order some time very soon :love:

    I'm cooking up a healthy Asda tikka masala with chicken and vegetables. I forgot to put the rice on though haha, waiting ages and I am starving. Trying to stop myself from snacking while waiting.

    No partner needed! You can play it alone :)
