    So me and my work collegue were having a chat earlier about really not being bothered about what food we eat and the lack of motivation with the gym.. this isnt the first time we have had this chat.

    We have our Time of the month around the same time and we both get the munchies around the same time! i reckon thats whats causing my lack of intrest at the moment.. its weird how some people work the same!!

    Grr its a bit annoying! I hope i can get through it!!

    :heart: Katherine

    :flowerforyou: Good Morning All,

    Katherine:flowerforyou: Sorry to hear about your Tonsillitis. I wish you the best.
    You are just going to love your Polar F6. I had mine for about a month and just love it. It does motivate me to keep on working out. I love to watch the calories burn.

    You have a great weekend.

    Good Morning All,

    Welcome to the newcomers. This is a very good motivational thread - well on their way to losing 20 by June 12th.

    Jackie, thanks for sending me the message. Alot of times I had been reading but not posting. Work has me in a whirlwind and by the time I get up and get everything done, I have a few minutes to read and then rush off. Work nights - sleep days. I also wish I could lose weight when eating chocolate.

    The weather has to give way to sunshine some day - I was going to complain a little about ours but I don't still have snow so I decided to hush.

    Been a bouncing act with the weight - down two up 1.5 - down .5 - up 1.5. Just trying to deal with it and get it to go down. Inone month I have been on here today, I have lost 14 pounds. I am quite satisfied.

    Everyone have a good weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lisa

    Just got back from the gym. My HRM said I burned 487 calories in 1:22 minutes. yea.

    indianagranny:flowerforyou: Congratulations on 14 lbs. lost. Way to go. Keep it up. Don't be discouraged about the yo-yo thing. I seem to yo-yo all the time. I listen to my body and it is telling me I am doing just fine.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

    I am ready for the weekend and I am going to win.

    :angry: :explode: :mad:
    I weighed myself today.:sad: :sad:
    I have worked so hard and what does that blasted piece of junk say???? Well let me all tell you...it said I GAINED 2.5 flipping pounds. I almost wanted to climb in bed again. My hubby says that I shouldn't worry about, it is probably water retention. Yea yea, well it still makes me MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDd grrrrrrrrrrrr But I still worked out and am continuing on. I don't think that the PMS helps at all.

    i want a reeses peanut butter cup....and a donut.....mmm and a dairy queen blizzard....grrrrrrr good thing I live in the boonies where I have to actually travel 20 miles to get an icecream!!!!

    Allright I am done being mrs grumpy pants....:grumble:

    I also LOVEEEEEEEE my HRM!!! It is just awesome! We added in the treadmill and the eliptical 15 mintues plus the boot camp. but not bootcamp 3 she wimped out....well I did too I guess....hahah:noway:

    Jackie I hope that you feel better and enjoy the new toy!
    Katherine Have a great weekend!!!!!
    KATHY!!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO WIN....get the pink gloves on hahaha:laugh: :flowerforyou:

    indiangranny YOu are so AWESOME that you have lost 14 pounds woo hooooooo!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    alright I am going to go and eat my lunch....don't worry I have no peanut butter cups or icecream in teh house and definelty no donuts...:wink::wink:

    Jenny I agree with your hubby. Don't worry about the 2.5 pounds. It is probably water.

    Just don't give up. I am always wanted to take my scale and throw it out the window. But I us it as ONE of my tools now. I know I am exercising and staying within my calories. Well, not on the weekends. BUT, AND THAT IS A BIG BUT. My weekends are going to be no different. THE PINK GLOVES ARE ON AND I AM READY.

    I did make it through my Friday meal. I had a spinach salad with shrimp. I kept it within my calories because I used a fat free dressing. Believe me this is not something I would have eaten for a Friday Night Out. I would have had Fried Clams with lots of tarter sauce and nibbled on my friench fires. I also drank water. No wine. Maybe it was because I had my pink boxing gloves on and it was hard to eat.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Morning all :flowerforyou:
    I was planning on a walk along the beach this morning with Storm, but I woke up to heavy rain! :grumble:
    So it looks like I'll be stopping in today - all I've done all blooming week!

    indiangranny - well done on such a great loss - go get em huni :drinker:
    Kathy - well done for staying strong on your night out :drinker:
    Jenny - More than likely to be water rentention, but knoing it don't help none does it :grumble:
    Katherine - I think there is always someone ready to help us sabotage our selves - they do it out of love, but we end up paying for it anyway :flowerforyou:

    Hope everyone has a great weekend, I got myself a body fat scale, and am 40.3% fat - hmmm, wonder what I was when I was 3 stone heavier ????? :ohwell: Guess I'll never know :ohwell: But I am NEVER going back there to find out !!!! :noway:

    Here's to healthy eating choices this weekend ladies, anyone want to set us any challenges this week? I think I could do with a litle motivation at the minute :laugh:

    Good Morning All,

    Well Saturday is here and I am ready for it. I just had my cereal and I will be going to the gym soon. For those who can not make the gym. Do some dancing. Put your music on whether MP3 and stereo system and work up a sweat. I challenge you.

    :flowerforyou: Jenny, thank God I was able to take my pink gloves off while I was sleeping. hehe. :bigsmile:
    :flowerforyou: Jackie we can do it on the weekends we will prove it to ourselves. :tongue: :tongue:

    Today is the Big Day. The Birthday celebration. I will do very well. My family will notice and I will be very proud of myself. One of my daughter in laws suggested making paper mache easter eggs with the kids. I thought that was a great idea to keep me busy. A little messy but I think the kids will like it.

    I will check in later and let you know how I am doing.

    :heart: Kathy

    Jackie Just remember that you are 3 stones LIGHTER!!!! 38 pounds!!! that is your motivation right there!!!!! my motivation came yesterday when my sis in law had found a picture of me from about 5 years ago! ohmigosh....i had a whole extra face! and would you believe that I was also holding a plate of food?:noway: :noway: So I hung that up on the fridge!!! So between that and pictureing kathy in her boxing gear battleing the fridge I have got some motivation!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
