    Good morning everyone,

    Thanks for the kind words and nice welcome from everyone yesterday.

    Already I feel well and truly motivated, and for the three days since joining this site have got back into the habit of logging food and exercise.

    I find it really helpful to see how much extra calories you can get through the exercise, which in itself is a real motivator to go out and find something to do.

    Already I have walked down town at lunch time for the last two days, something I have not done in a while.

    Hope everyone has a good day, and even the skies are blue out there today here in sunny Winchester which does help as well.

    Bye for now

    Paul:smile:

    It's even sunny up north here in Merseyside (what's that all about!!?? :laugh:), so much so that I might have a nice walk down Newton Le Willows High Street and burn some calories off. Looking forward to my lunch today; low fat peanut butter and jelly on tiger bread!! :smile:

Pinched my boyfs MP3 player so was running to some great old school tunes!!! Fab for keeping your energy levels up!!! Then went to the theatre with some friends and was v good, had two diet cokes and no ice cream or chocolate!!! :tongue: :tongue: So am feeling back in the zone!!!

    My official weigh in tomorrow, am keeping my fingers crossed that I stay the same, which would be a bonus after a heavy weekend of drinking and eating!!

    Kendra - well done on your loss!! Thats fab!!! Bag of sugar!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    Good morning everyone! I hope you've all had a good week? :flowerforyou:

    I sidetracked yesterday and went over my cals by a few hundred... i couldnt resist the Tiger Bread from Sainsburys my mum bought on her weekly shop! So i had that and then a chocolate cookie or 2... Oops! Must log it!! :grumble:

    Anyways im not going to let it get to me..

    Kendrafallon - Ohh Tae Kwon Do.. is it fun? Im thinking of taking a class or 2 because the gym is boring me out something stupid! I've had enough of it.. Or with the weather being so lovely i might go for a run!! :smile:

    Yes the weekend is apon us.. What are you all going to be doing? I've got one of my very close friends birthday tonight.. shes hitting the BIG 21!!! :happy: so its round hers for pre drinks and nibbles!! Then we are heading into Guildford town for more boozing! Cant wait to be honest! Ohh and it will be great not to be surrounded by easter eggs this weekend! :laugh: No temptations!
    While typing my porridge has a lovely skin on it! Is it weird that i like it? Mmm cut bananas and seeds in my porridge.. 400+ cals of yummy goodness to start the day!! And the weather is gorgeous!!! Hope its the same where you all are!? :flowerforyou:

    Sparklepants - Glad you found us!! x:heart:

    Plantpot - Thanks for the comment about the photo - took the other weekend when i went to London with the girlies :bigsmile: How did the weigh in go?

    Lovies x x :heart:

    Hi everyone

    Feel a bit our of my depth - never blogged before (don't have facebook or twitter), haven't put a piccie on or filled in my personal info so hopefully you won't think me weird. Everyone on this blogs seems good fun, so I hope you don't mind my bit of blurb.

    I'm 43 and over the past 2 years my weight has slowly crept on. Want to stop the rot now, this site is the best thing to help and I've got the app on my iphone. I've even started running again.

    My goal - to wear pretty dresses in the summer and maybe even a Bikini ( at the moment I look a bit pukey in one).

    Off to take my girls swimming now and hopefully squeeze in some lengths.

    Hope thats the stuff I need to write it just came out my head

    Welcome Kateg, everyone on here is lovely and very supportive so you have come to the right place!! I have never blogged before although I am on Facebook (slightly addicted to it I have to say)!!!

    Well I have been little bit naughty and skipped my weigh in this morning :ohwell: :ohwell: I had pasta for tea last night and it always makes me heavy, and really didnt want to see that I had put any weight back on. I would usually avoid eating it the night before weigh in, but couldnt resist spag bol and meat balls hmmmmmmmm!!

    My week has been pretty good, managed to get two road runs in after a few weeks of not exercising. I am doing the Manchester 10k in May so I need to get out training!! :sad: :sad:

    Chilled weekend ahead, which will be lovely, I am going to give my liver a rest and stay away from alcohol, so fingers crossed will be sticking to my cals and exercising with the aim of shedding an lb next week.

    Have great days everyone!!! Its gorgeous in sunny Manchester so keeping everything crossed for an early finish today. :glasses: :glasses:

    Good afternoon all, isn’t it a lovely day out there !!!

    kendrafallon – yes, I know wheat you mean with spin – at the start of a session I get that “ what am I doing here feeling “ but then look at the HRM at the end and see I have burn’t 800 Kcal and think, more food !!!!

    kateg789 – hi to you too – you have arrived at a great place to get in control of your weight – I have only been back to logging food and exercise for four days, and already I feel back in control after being out of control for well over 12 months now – stick with it, and you will be proud of yourself !!!

    sdscouser – totally agree – isn’t it nice to be amongst some great people with the same goal in mind – it does help greatly.

    Plantpot – we have all skipped a weigh in before now for the same reasons, but having read your post, I am now in spag bol and meat balls mode for tonight, having bought some from Lidl last night as they were on special offer !!! – luckily my weigh in is not until Tuesday ha ha !!

    magnet501 – thanks James, as a newbie to this site this week, it has been the breath of fresh air I needed to get my self back into weight loss mode

    Well, I hope you all have great weekends, and it looks to be one of those weekends where we can spend sometime out doors – I think my garden will be calling me to rescue it from overgrowth of weeds and long grass !!! , surely that might earn me a little drink in the evening !!!

    Regards

    Paul :smile: :smile:

    Hey everyone, I hope you're all ok? Nice and sunny here, but am stuck in the office! Hopefully it will be nice over the weekend so I too can get in to the garden!

    Tanya - I've responded to your bloated post. PM me if you want to know anything else, or if I can help.

    Hope you all have good weekends!
