    KP - It's a geeky reference to a Joss Whedon comic...I'm a bit of a nerd!

    Exercise wise, managed to get up and go to the gym this morning AND walked to work after. This is a HUGE achievement for me as I only started going to the gym for the first time ever on Sunday! Only managed to burn about 250 in the gym though :( Really want to go on the rowing maching, but there were lots of men around them this morning, so I had no chance of getting on one...thinking of going on there first tomorrow morning before cycling!

    How about you? What are your aims for exercise? What do find is the best equipment?

    Yay for sushi! Have you tried the Boots Shapers range? They don't tend to have mustard in them...or at least I haven't noticed...

    Dammit! I'm 14g over my fat limit, and that's the first time I've done it since starting on MFP. :-( That would be my tea that's done it. KNowing my luck, I'll put a stone on tomorrow because of it. lol.

    Lol.. Lee, I only have to look at a cake to put on a stone!! I wouldnt worry.. its only one day my friend!! :-) Keep up the great work..

    ..And also i know what you mean about not noticing the weightloss yourself.. you look at yourself pretty much everyday (i know i do) and havent noticed much of a change... just my clothes feel looser and i can fit into new sizes.. hmm

    Good thanks, how was yours? I've managed to avoid all the biscuits which have been doing the rounds at work! Although I had a sneaky shortbread today! I've got my weigh in tonight so fingers crossed, I only stayed the same last week but put it down to changing from slimming world to calories! Hope I've lost x

    Haha, me too! :-) I have been good today though, so will no doubt be under the fat limit. Giving myself a days rest from the gym and going to the cinema.

    I've had a few more compliments aswell from other people on our team in work! A couple of the girls said my skin looks really good, which I'm glad about as I suffered from really bad acne a few years ago and to see it all clear up fully and not have any lingering scars is very nice! :-)

    I'm sure they will be fine for the weekend, KP! :-)

    I must have just been going through a stage where I was getting loads all the time, no matter what I tried I couldn't get rid of them. I think I just got rid of them by aging myself out of the stage I was in. lol. I very rarely get them now.

    Wed 02/10/10 02:08 AMMorning folks .... hope todays good for everyone. I've started by having my Special K for breakfast , setting Mum off in her taxi for her Day Centre and now I'm off to the drop in centre run by the Carers Association. :bigsmile:
    - Weighed the same again today but I'm not going to let it get me down! :noway:
    - Out to lunch after ...not going to let that get me down either! ! :noway:
    - I lied about doing he Latino DVD last night ... That hasn't worried me either! :noway:
    - I decided that Chaz the cat was probably more pleasing on the eye than I was ,so changed the profile image ... no worries there . :laugh:

    So ... All in all a lovely day here in SUNNY ...Yep!! ... North Wales. :smile:
    Good start ... Hope all of you can have a little of the sunshine too.:drinker:

    Morning all!!
    Well VERY disappointed that my scales have not moved in 3 days :o( Not sure what else I can do?

    KP, hope you're ok hun. Sounds like you could be a bit run down? I would take a little rest from the gym and get plenty of vitamin C- kiwis are great :o) And B vits too meat & poultry are the best sources but you can get a good amount from asparagus, broccoli, spinach, bananas and dried apricots.

    Jim Jam- WOOP! Well done :o)

    Going to the gym tonight.. wont work too hard tho..
    Dont worry about the scales not moving, give it time, you wil be ok.. you never know you might loose by the time your flying off on hols!! how long to go??

    hope your all ok??

    Just joining February to say My holiday is on Saturday. Off to hot and sunny Brighton for me 23rd B-day. Still doing P90X but haven't had any weight change for ages but look a bit different. Halfway through my 90 days really so will be finished for early april. Its been hard work so far but totally paying off i think. Good luck with for the rest of the UKers.

    Hi everyone

    I can report that :-

    :smile: - Yesterday I DID do my Latino DVD workout. It was good and definitely EXERCISE!!! but fun too! The cats thought I was mad and legged it out to the kitchen!
    :noway: - Today .. I weigh the same but at least I'm not heavier.
    :drinker: - I had my Special K and have had a small Ham salad for lunch. My dear DIL came to visit with the baby (5 months) :heart: He is just how his Dad was at that age. You just want to eat him up!! Not sure what the calorie counter would make of that!!
    :drinker: - Am planning braised beef and vegetables for tonight.
    :laugh: - I intend to get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes in a minute
    :smile: - My diet weigh scales arrived and I'm going to weigh everthing , no more guessedemates

    :drinker: Well done all you guys that are losers .... hope to join you in that soon!!

    Morning Everyone!

    I was a little sneaky today and jumped on the scales before weigh in day tomorrow morning...and nothing has changed. Still. I would love to say that I hadn't been having sneaky peaks at the scales, but I have been looking everyday, and everyday I'm exactly 144.8. It's the .8 that's the *****!

    Deffo low on the motivation today to keep it up (especially as I had a cheeky bevvy last night...:S) so I'm off to find some thinspiration.

    Yay, I'm so pleased to have found this group. Was starting to wonder where all the other UK posters were ? I had a sneaky weigh in this morning although official weigh in not due till Monday, 3.5lbs this week, yippee.

    I'm off to stay with my in-laws this weekend and out for dinner on Saturday night so I'm not convinced the scales will be as favourable on Monday !!

    Heyy!
    I'm Jazzy, i came across this thread for the Brits so i thought i would join :)
    Weighed in this morning and i've lost 3 pounds in a week and one day! haha who'd thought i could eat what i would like, still be under the calorie goal and lose weight!?!
    Loving this site btw, i feel enlightened :)
    Hope everyone is doing well, looks good by all the posts. To be honest everyone is very inspiring and definitely makes me motivated.
    I have a date tomorrow night (it was going to be on sunday but i promised my single ladies!!) soooo i think i may have to hit the gym tomorrow day !
    Hope you all have a fab weekend
    xxxxx
