    Good Morning everyone! I hope you are all having a perfect week so far, ready for your perfect weekends! My week is going well food wise. I have stayed within my calories goals and been to the gym twice. I had a sneak peek at the scales this morning from Saturdays weigh in to make sure I wasn't just seeing things and I was down again to 51.4kg. :-)! Wahoo! It is so motivating to see this number! I am booked into Body Step this evening for a killer legs workout! I am hoping I can still make it.

    I hope you guys all have a good day today! xx

    Hey all, happy Wednesday to you! :smile:

    I've been okay over the weekend with my food, I did go over my calories slightly the other day but made up for it last night with a big 1111 cal burnout. Wanted to do a double session because I'm going out for a meal this afternoon to celebrate me turning 31 today! :drinker: I'm so old!!!!! :laugh:

    I'll still be going the gym later on, but I won't be piling on the cals despite celebrating and I'll be saving the alcohol for the big night out on Saturday!!

    Hope everyone is doing okay, and to all the newbies on this thread, may I offer you the warmest of welcomes! You'll find some quality people on here willing to listen to your problems and help you out anyway you can, not to mention motivating you!! :happy:

    I so nearly did not go to the gym last night, but I went, and it was good, and the only thing was I wanted to stay longer but my mate was picking me up! Grr! :flowerforyou:

    My bf made me tea last night which was not what I had planned on eating but I didn't go over so it's all good! I have just started my day with some rolled oats and linseed yum yum yum :love:

    Again Happy Birthday Lee :drinker:

    I'm glad more people are on board with the weekend challenge :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: !

    K :heart: men are fools! I'm sorry you're feel :huh: that's meant to be blue...here's two more :grumble: :angry: everything'll be OK. If he's playing games with YOU he's the biggest fool on the planet and I'm sure everyone on here would agree. You're awesome and everyone loves you :heart: just carry on being your awesome self and don't let someone not worthy upset you too much, er-thang gon' be alriiight (meant to sound like a New York accent :ohwell: ).

    Hello everyone :happy:

    Lee - Happy Birthday! :drinker: I hope you have an excellent day and a great night out on Saturday.

    Steve - Glad to hear that the lasering went well. Sorry to hear you can't go to the gym. If it's any consolation, I find when I take a short break from the gym, it all seems to go really well when I get back. Perhaps resting every once in a while to let our bodies catch up isn't a bad thing?! :laugh:

    Greeting to all new folk on this thread. It's great here, nice and lighthearted and lots of support. :smile:

    Katherine - Sorry to hear about the boyfriend. I hope you work it out however you need to, just remember that you have to look after yourself, and if he isn't supporting you in everything you do then he might not be the right guy. Doesn't make it any nicer or easier to deal with mind. Just remember that what you need is important! :flowerforyou:

    I'll come in on the weekend thing. I don't really do too bad on the eating as I tend to cook from scratch, and normally go to the gym, but I do need to cut down on the wine, so I'll be concentrating on that this weekend. It doesn't look like I'm losing weight this week. I keep hoping I'm just retaining water....gym tonight anyway, gotta keep plugging away. As long as I have awesome arms by the summer, I can kinda live with the slow weight loss...maybe! :sad:

    Lady C - I hope you've recovered from your mad gym sessions! Glad to hear the scale is heading down for you.

    Good luck everyone with all your challenges for the rest of this week, whether it is work lunches, pick and mix or whatever! :bigsmile:

    Im afraid mimi... there isnt... our perfect week might be put on hold... im annoyed at my sheer weakness towards pick n mix.. but then if its only 1 BAD thing out of the whole week then surely its not THAT bad... is it?? lol :laugh:

    Hi

    Please can I join too?? I found MFP last week via my I phone and am now addicted! Although I started to diet last week I only bought some scales on Fri so am using that as my starting point. I will have to weigh in on Thurs this week as I am away for the week end. So far I have been good - and yes it is early days. I am trying to increase my exercise regime and have been swimming twice this week. I also train twice a week and will be looking for some additional exercise.

    I have 12 kgs to lose (a bit of a shock as I was burying my head in the sand) but as there is a group from the UK I will go back to good old fashioned stones and pounds! My aim is to lose the weight, or most of it, by Aug as I will be going on holiday with 3 of my children then. I love the ideas of having mini goals and will start to think up some for myself.

    I just need to keep motivated...............hopefully you will all be able to help

    Carrie
    Hi Carrie
