    Afternoon!

    Bad last week... not gonna lie i did indulge a little too much (not all in diary) Oops! Soo... i have made it my mission to plan ahead (as you can see in my diary) all my meals up until friday (cause friday is a weird day and i never know whats going to happen)... I wasn't in the right frame of mind last week to go to the gym, count cals.. i think its because i saw my ex for the first time in a few months.. and it lead to me eating.. (not usually an emotional eater) but hey ho!

    Anyways.. Im getting right back on track.. the next couple of days im going to shock my body with low cal, low carbs... and then go back to 1,200... just to give myself a kick in the butt!! :laugh: I'm hoping it kick starts things again!!!

    sooo.. im hoping by the end of August i will be within reach of my 10stone goal... hope so!!

    Hello everyone,

    Welcome back Lorro!

    I have a feeling this is going to be a good week. I weighed myself on Monday (only weighing myself once a week) and I've lost a pound from the week before. My eating has been good so far for this week and I've done my exercises tonight. I don't want to jinx myself though, the boyfriend is staying tomorrow and Thursday, so that usually means bad food! I will RESIST!!

    Katherine, I think you're allowed to eat a bit more when you see your ex. Get some pic n mix! I was at the cinema on Sunday seeing The Ugly Truth - has anyone seen that? - but I didn't have any sweets, I had popcorn instead! Just as bad for my teeth.

    Morning everyone!!!

    Amy - I know i should lighten up about the whole indulging thing but sometimes it gets to me that i will work so hard to avoid the things i love that when i do have them i have a complete blow out which is never a good idea... soooo i just try not to eat them at all....

    OOOOhhhh i just had a sachet of Maple Syrup Oats so simple with my normal porridge.. tasted ah-mazing... it is going to be my weekly treat!! :tongue: the rest of the time ill have half a banana and muesli in it!!

    Was going to go for a run last night but myyyy god it was waaay too hot outside.. so i went to the gym instead! was good i did loads of toning :bigsmile:

    Anywhoo where is everyone???? You've all dissapeared off the face of MyfitnessPal!!! :sad:

    I thought it was hilarious! I was laughing out loud the whole time, and some of it was really cringey! What are you going to/did you see at the cinema today?

    wow things are slow around here recently?

    well ive gone back again, im back at 152lbs :grumble:
    but.....my boyfriend and i have a bet
    if i can lose 7lbs before i go back to uni he will give me £20
    if i dont lose 7lbs i owe him £20

    pretty good motivation for me because i am very stingy with money lol

    so ive got 5 weeks to lose 7lbs - i think i can do that!!

    ok guys and gals so i'm 5 weeks in and have lost 10pounds. on target for my goal but still 17 weeks to go. I'm going to start more cardio this week but dont get alot time to go to the gym through work commitments. Any ideas?
    I already walk to work twice a week wich is 7 mile round trip. thinking of making that 3 times now.
    Got some weights at home too, so guess doing a few sets a night maybe the next step.

    Please feel free to give me some more tips, i got my diet spot on so this is the next step and will really help me motor towards my goals

    Hope all are well and lossing loads

    Yay, last week was a good week! Lost more weight and now apparently I've lost 10 pounds since I joined, which is good for me. I'm going to try and keep this up as it's not long until my holiday now - 2 weeks on Wednesday. Cannot wait.
    I had to have a roll, sausage & potato scone for my breakfast today coz I had nothing in the house, but it was ok as my calories are good today, and now I'm gonna do some exercise.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend? I was out dancing both nights with the girlies so that was some exercise! Although I don't think the cider helped :drinker:

    yey, its good to see people back!
    glad to hear you're all doing well and getting back on track

    how hard is it to find proper trainers these days?
    i went into JJB and they had 2 columns of womens trainers - that was it! only 3 of which where proper sports trainers

    so moved on to Sports World - had loads of trainers, just couldnt tell which where which and they had no size 6's

    JD - all fashion trainers - no sports

    so i ended up going to Chivers sports (last sports shop in carlisle) - went in and didnt like any of them, but then the guy asked what i was looking for then went on to do loads of checks on my feet and my walking and running styles, i was there for a good hour and found out the reason my leg hurts when i run is because i have too much pressure on my right kness, and also a slightly fallen left arch.

    if any of you have this type of service available i would strongly reccomend you go get it done! (you get extra exercise too because you have to run in each pair of trainers you try on - i tried on about 10pairs lol)
  • glittergirlamy14

    Katie - I'm still wearing the trainers I had when I was in 6th year at school, so they're about 6 years old! They still fit fine and they are cross training trainers or something so good for exercising.

    I was looking through my food diary there and I've not had an Indian takeaway since 16th July, so a month! I'm very proud of myself. I've been out for a curry since then but that was a birthday, so that was ok, and it was a smaller portion. I used to get takeaways like once a week so this is a huge improvement :happy:

    good girl proud of you, keep up the hard work. I'm so sure I will bump into you at some point as one of my routs is past the spectrum.
    I did 7 miles yesterday and my legs are so ****ed today, but hey all good.
    I'm off to liverpool for a lads weekend next week so trying to do alot the hard work before coz that will be a very drunken weekend.:wink: As I said if you need a kick up the *kitten* i'm always willing :laugh:

    Hows your day been?

    ah crap! i had a suprise holiday of the other half last week and have just got back from it. so weight is not good again. still i started doing my exercise yesterday and again today so already feeling positive. and still not smoking so they are all good things. im aiming to get to 12st 1 or 2 for end of august now. looks like you caught me up sean lol.
    mind you the holidays were nice. i know i don;t have a lot more planned this year so i can focus on my goal weight for the autumn. still not sure what my goal is yet lol. still thinking 160lbs. and congrats also to sean sounds like you are doing well. i just seem to have a lot of more important things happening at this moment in time.

    good luck everyone else. im looking forward to september being a full good healthy month. wonder what the challange will be.

    well i attempted to go to the gym this morning - i got half way and turned around and came home, it was raining really heavy and by the time i got half way my trainers and socks were waterlogged, and my gym pants where soaked from my hips down, my change of clothes where also soaked even though they where in my rucksack.
    so ive done my sit-ups and reverse sit ups at home, and im gonna go on the treadmill at home and although i cant run on it (its a magnetic one and really bad for running - you can only run if you hold on) its a workout all the same, so will put that on whilst watching the biggest loser

    Morning everyone...

    Bahhh Katie - Where do you live? Havent seen the rain yet!! :noway: LMAO! Poor you.. I hate that when you get caught in the rain and are completely soaked through... Nice and Dry in Farnham today... Bet you it wont last!!!

    Mmm i dunno what to do this afternoon... i know i have to tidy my room.. complete pig sti.. but then wat? i cant afford to go shopping (another holiday looming) so i might just gym it.. :ohwell:

    Food intake has been low this week but i feel alright about it... not gonna let it get to me... I know this weekend will be a bit of a blow out anyways!

    Ohh.. and something really weird happened to me last night... Didnt eat close to bedtime, however i woke up wreching... :sick: was the weirdest thing cause nothing came out but it sure as hell woke me up and freaked the hell out fo me!! lol i thought i would jst share!?

    Ooohh and another thing.. been running outside a lot this week, i suppose the sunny weather has made me avoid the gym and i have HATED my routine for the last 2-3weeks so i decided to do something different.. needless to say i wont run so much now... blistered feet again.. and my calves hurt!

    JAMES - Yeah you might just have seen me - i ran past boxgrove shops on wednesday :tongue: we chould meet up n go for a run! Give me some motivation!!! :flowerforyou:

    Im in Carlisle, right on the border to scotland.

    the gym sounds like a good plan, i've got work tonight and i really cant be bothered with it (i never can so no change there)

    thats strange that you woke up wretching, maybe you were dreaming something and it caused that.

    im trying to cut down on my sugar at the mo, i think thats the reason im not losing weight.

    Evening everyone, did you all have a good weekend?

    I was very bad on Friday night and had 7 slices of a large Dominos pizza! It's coz the girls were round, that's always gonna be trouble. We then went to Alton Towers which was great fun! Burnt off over 1000 calories walking round the park then I think the rides would've burnt some off calories from being a bit scared with the adrenaline pumping. I went on all the big rides, loved it. 7 & half hours on the bus there and back wasn't too bad either, it passed quickly.

    Just been on my bike as i didn't really do much exercise last week. Only 8 days to go to my holiday so not much time left for a flat tum! I don't think it's going to happen.

    Morning one and all!

    I hope people are ok and havent lost interest! It will be coming up to a year on here soon! Well in October.. but i honestly have enjoyed being on here and meeting lots of people.. during this time i have learnt what works best for me and at the moment im happy with the way things are going!

    My weekends are always going to be hard... i have a very sociable life and it usually leads to house parties, going out into town clubbing or going to bars... its inevitable.. sometimes i can avoid it, but its the weekend and i like to relax, not only with alcohol but with food aswell.. and i dont let myself get annoyed if i have eaten too much because i know, come monday, i will be back to normal... :smokin:

    you can do it girl, if i can lose a stone in 6 weeks you can do those 2lbs. keep thinking positive and it will be off before you know it

    Well done on losing the stone - magnet, and keep it up katie. I haven't been around much, as lost my dad at the beginning of the month and have found it hard to concentrate and stick to the calories, but hopefully back to it now and have just done 20 minutes on the exercise machine and about to do my sit ups.....
