Great job everyone!

I just finished doing Jillian's 6 week 6 pack. I wish I didn't skip it all week but at least I'm trying again. Splurging a little tonight during movie night with (light)popcorn and candy but definitely no alcohol. That is my downfall. More than one night a week of drinking alcohol really slows my weight loss. I'm saving that for tomorrow...baseball, hotdogs & beer.

Have a great weekend MFP'ers.

i am out of town this weekend; however, I did weigh this morning and I am at 146.4lbs at the end of the week...which means I have lost almost a whole lb since my last weigh in and almost 2lbs total (yeah)!! it is so motivating to see that and to fit better in my gym shorts this week...makes me want to keep up the good work. My goal is to go running in the morning...burn about 500-600 calories so that I can enjoy the shower/luncheon I am throwing for my sister and then back tot he grind for the next week. I would love to be at 145/144 by the end of July (if not less...but I am not going to push it either)

good luck everyone this weekend. Just think of the reward for every cookie/icecream/hamburger that you pass down for the healthier option!

monkeysmum

good morning mfp

i woke up full of optomism the sun was out and shining so out went washing another load in machine and now it looks like its going to pee it down that means another day of wet clothes in the house and heating on to dry it in july not a happy bunny
on the plus yesterday was a very good eating day i was so well behaved i even passed up making cookies etc for kids mostly because i knew id eat them so better not lol

nelski well done on surviving jillian i can just imagine her yelling at us all what do you mean you ate that and drank this get on the treadmill biggest loser just isnt the same without her

mabrywynn congrats on the weight loss i think i found the 1lb you lost i will throw it away as we dont need it tho lol have a fantastic day hope it stays nice and sunny and theres some healthy options

my plans today include laundry very boring cleaning even more boring but at least it burns calories and teaching my kids various things that they are learning in school i am hoping to get a chance to make some cards i need to make a shop window birthday card for my grandmas bday 17th july need aboot up the bum for that ive been putting it off yell at me if i didnt do it today

have fun everyone and ill check on you all later

Hello ladies

I am back! I spontaneously started a job on Wednesday. I needed to get a job quick due to unexpected circumstances so I called my old manager that I worked for in a pub and I started the next day. Oh god I forgot how hard pub work is. I think I am to old for 12 hour shifts...:yawn: I did worked 3 days and did almost 30 hours. I can really feel it. I was so tired after work so did not log in.

I only exercised Thursday but as said work itself was a workout. I don't think I will go back to the job as I didn't like the pub very much.

I started 30 Day Slimdown last week but might restart it now. I have lost 1lbs (I weigh in Wednesday) which I am pleased with as I had such a bad weekend! My eating this week was ok but not great! I think today I'll have a rest day but hope to exercise again tomorrow.


Great news about your foot!

@Nelski: Are you doing 6 weeks of 6W6P or are you doing it amongst other workouts? Would be interested in your results. I am doing JM workouts and really like them!

monkeysmum

well done daisy on the 1lb loss

not sure on congratulations on my foot im feeling it today and i just moved and it felt like i hit my funny bone only in my foot not a pleasant sensation im going to see how i get during week and if not i think another trip to the doctors is in order which i really hate doing the long wait and the well i cant really do anything but try this or be referred for an xray i curse my own stupidity definaltly a lesson learned

i have also been very naughty zero exercise today but i did make my grandmas bday card a flower shop window with 3d flowers both in the window display and outside with flower pots im impressed with the result and im hoping she will love it i just need to get some sturdy white cardboard to make a box for it too big for envelopes and then if she wants its a keepsake box also

im going to see what exerecise i can do probably cleaning around my house and some walking from room to room but at least it will be something hope your all having a good saturday

@Nelski: Are you doing 6 weeks of 6W6P or are you doing it amongst other workouts? Would be interested in your results. I am doing JM workouts and really like them!

I will be doing it along with other exercise. I do want to do if for 6 weeks, but I have a feeling her 6 weeks means doing it every day. Since I'm getinng ing OnDemand I miss the part where she says that or not. I would like to do it 3 days a week then maybe some cardio, like walk/jog or bike rides on the other days. I did it 3x the 1st week I started, then just 1 this last week, hoping to make it 3 this coming week.

monkeysmum

good morning loverlys happy sunday

how did it get to sunday so fast again?

hope everyones having a good weekend so far. i was very naughty last night i made a chocolate coconut slice very morish and yummy only 2oz of sugar which surprised me as most cakes buns biscuits have 4oz alot of butter tho hoping that because i used light version they arent too bad for me as a treat anyways i am aiming to avoid the left overs from it today and stick to healthy stuff

hope everyone has a good day be good

Hey all!
It was my weigh in day today and turns out I've lost nothing! I see this as a positive, nothing gained and for the amount of bad food I shouldn't have eaten I feel like this is an achievement. It's been that 'special' week for me so this could just be a blip.
But I know now I have no excuses for anymore bad eating habits or slacking. It's time to get back on track seriously again!

Daisy80

Hello all!

The card for your grandma sounds lovely! I wish I'd be able to do stuff like that!

And yes I think you are supposed to do 6W6P daily for 6 weeks. I think I would get really bored of it though.

I haven't done anything yet this weekend. I just needed to just chill out after the last few days of work. My eating wasn't great either! I really wanted to lose more than a pound on my next weigh in but not sure if that is going to happen now.

I decided that I will restart the 30 Day Slimdown schedule on Monday as I have only done 3 days last week.
For me too it is time to get serious!!

never too late welcome aboard how much are you aiming to lose??

cdpm i always say its better to maintain than to gain be proud that you ate what you wanted and didnt gain weight back it shows when we reach target it is possible to stay there and still have the foods we enjoy

daisy im sure you can mange more than 1lb if its what you set your mind to id be happy with half a lb a week hubby sulks if its less than 3lbs a week i think when we losing weight we are never happy with the amounts unless its more than 1lb and more than we aim for we are all eager for the weight to be gone but im sure we are all going to reach target some just faster than others in the end we are all going to be smexy and skinny lol

suzumichan congrats on fitting in the dress i got in one the other week and it put me on a high for days today i got some trousers that before were too tight and today there loose its the boost we need when the scales dont seem to shift

cherrydietcoke1

Hi!! My end goal is to be down to 135/140. I am currently at 154.6lb. By October, I would love to be at least 145. My problem is that I am a grad student and it is always difficult to keep up the good habits once school starts. Having the extra motivation would help!!

monkeysmum

good morning everyone how are we all today on this sunny monday?

its a promising sign that the sun is out motivational in its self and all that. always makes me feel more positive.

i spent yesterday at my mums and she is the one that moans shes fat needs to lose weight then eats 3 choc bars and says i cant understand why i dont lose anything i walk everywhere well yes she does but when lunch was potatos veggies etc and came to over 700calories add to that the choc bars and whippy icecream and my treat day was a normal day for her but of course the i walk everywhere surely must cancel all that junk out bless her shes my height and would probably be set very close to my calorie goal as she only has 40lbs to lose but trying to explain the healthy approach just doesnt work i love her just wish she could slow the main meal calories down a little when i visit i love the sunday meals but the yorkshire puddings do nothing for my calories lmao

soontobemrswhit 10lbs by october i think is doable and in summer holidays we can work out more so losing more is a possible too well for most people im still suffering with my foot and trying to find ways to get exercise i may even have to god forbid start ironing again just for the calorie burn the horror im not even sure i still have an iron lol

hope everyone has a great monday be good drink plenty water and i shall be back later to check on you all

thats fantatsic way to go you i wish i was doing as good

cdpm

Monday morning and I'm feeling unusually chirpy. I'm going to say it was down to the good food I ate yesterday as well as the amazing workout I did. I guess it was just a good day with the effects knocking on to today. I hope it lasts for the week!
I'm feeling motivated today - see if I say the same after work!
Tonight I'll be doing the Kempo workout from P90x - bring it!

mabrywynn

i am back to my normal routine...very excited to get back on track with my food and exercise. I didn't do great this weekend; however, I think after a little bit of salt reduction I will probably just come out even...Yeah! Ready for a good week and another bit of weight loss by Friday. Monday is always a great day for new beginnings when it comes to treating your body right....lets do it girls!

Nelski

Good morning.
Ughh another Monday. Why can't I work 2 days and have 5 off instead?? lol
The weekend was pretty good except we have found out we have some kind or roof leak that is causing a problem in our bedroom ceiling. I swear our home is curesed by some kind of water devil. We have had leaks in the basement, a pipe and now this. It's very frustrating. I definitley did some splurging on food and alcohol this weekend but I'm sure it could have been worse.

I got up this morning to walk/jog so off to a good start for the week!

monkeysmum

cdpm i agree i feel motivated not sure why as my foot is still hurting me but i just feel positive and hoping i can keep the positive vibes going

mabrywynn monday always seems to be a good place to start afresh with things especially when weekend has been full of blips just hoping it carries on for me i want to lose the 1lb i gained or at least gain no extras not off to a good start coffee in costa and the mini brownies i stopped at 2 but had 2 mini shortbread as well curse that coffee place lol

nelski i am with you a 2 day week sounds just fine to me lol
i was in hmv today saw 2 jillian workout dvds the 30day shred and one that was a 50minute all over workout i was very tempted to buy one but i figured a) i have zero money b) my foot isnt healed and c) amazon is always cheaper im also waiting to see if you have some good results on 6pack on demand see which sounds like it give sthe best all over results in weight loss and toning

anyone else used jillian and got good results which workout and how good?

Daisy80

Hello and happy Monday everyone!

I restarted my Jillian Michaels 30 day Slimdown routine today. I have no previous experience but happy to let you know how I'm getting on! Today I did the Shred Level 1. I like it. It is a good but short workout!

My eating has been good as well. So it has been a good start to the week!

TOM is due and I am suffering badly with PMS this month. Feeling pretty low and uncomfortable within myself. After today I am feeling better though. Hoping it'll continue like this...

All the best to all

Daisy

monkeysmum

I have tried 6W6P only once. I found it hard because of all the planks and side planks but it is a great workout! I'm sure you'll like it. It might also be good for you at the moment with your food being bad...

And well done on the loss! Just focus on that and not too much on the McDonalds!

suzumichan

I noticed today that mfp had a new front page and I watched some of the videos and now im really motivated now thanks to the video's! Even tho its really hot Im not going to give up this week! Weather is not going to keep me down! <weather.
