    Thanks honey, hope you are okay! :smile:

    Hey all,

    Hope you have all had a really good bank holiday weekend!! :smile: I've had a mixed one, it's been quiet and very loud.:laugh: Didn't do much on Friday when I was off work, took time to chill out and enjoy some me time. Saturday was spent packing as I was staying overnight at my mate's static caravan home in Pwllhelli, North Wales. What should have been a nice 2 hour drive along the coast, turned into a very stressful 4 and a half hour stop start journey. Eventually got there at 6pm after leaving home at 1.30pm, so as soon as I was parked up it was onto the Brandy and Coke!!

    Sunday was a really nice drive back (with no hangover!!!) and it did take two hours. Then it was home to a quick shower and change and back out as I was going up to Bradford for the Warrington Wolves Challenge Cup Quarter final game. The whole day was frought with nerves, but luckily we came through and won by only 4 points!! Few celebratory pints later and it was back home. The rest of the time was just spend chilling out, and now unfortunately I am back in work. :frown:

    My weight doesn't seem to have changed for about 2-3 weeks now, so I'm going to mix my gym routine up a bit, try and burn the fat a bit quicker. Also need to really do the chest exercises as I'm getting well self conscious about my "man boobs" now, it's getting well out of hand and starting to really upset me. :sad:

    Good luck with this week everyone and hope you all hit your targets! :glasses:

    Lee.

    An up and down week for me, but hubby bought me some new running shoes so I'm back in to my exercise. Just need to find some 'me' time to do it now!

    Good luck everyone!

    Thanks Kp, i'm going to remember to post on this one!

    Lee:
    mixing it up sounds like a good idea! you're doing great with your weight loss and it seems you've just hit a mini plateau but i'm sure you'll push through


    Welcome Naokoheart, of course you can join you don't need to ask! :


    this month, i've set myself a goal, i've already lost a lb! yes 3 days in ;) (though i probably lost most of that pound during may so it doesn't really count!)
    and my aim is to lose another 5, i'm really going for it this month, because i go on holiday on the 27th-2nd
    then i have my summer ball on the 2nd july, and i'm off to spain on the 4th so i really want to look my best
    i'm going to try and continue my diet for my first holiday but i can guarantee i'll put the lbs back on in spain unfortunately

    Mornin! Well, afternoon but only just.

    It's my 19th birthday this month (on the 19th, too) so I'm hoping to drop a few pounds by then. I've just finished day 18 of the 30 day shred (doing the normal 10 days per level so i'm on level 2, moving to level 3 on sunday). I upped the calories a bit (but still exercising every day and doing a little more walking) to see if I can encourage my scales to believe that I've lost weight.
    Fridays are my weigh in days so tomorrow I'll update and tell what my June weight is.

    Hello all!! :bigsmile:

    I'm sad to say that I've not followed most of last month, things have been a bit hectic and I've not had that much time on my hands.
    I promise to keep in touch this month with all your goings on :smile:

    I'm not feeling great this week as I have a cold that is refusing to budge. :grumble:
    But I'm trying my best to stay sort of to my new goal.
    I am still exercising everyday - as after many long years I have finally reached a place where I enjoy it.
    I'm just taking things a bit easier and trying to shift this cold.

    I can't wait for some really warm weather, have loads of jobs in the garden and need some sun to encourage me out there!!

    Lee ... What about push ups??? I think they my help you xxx

    KP ... I know your very busy at the moment, I'd like to say thanks for your support here and with the so called 'petite women views' lol
    So nice to have people who understand and experience the same when I'm surrounded by people who are lucky enough to be able to eat whatever they like with no problems at all!!

    And welcome to Naokoheart and all newbie UKers... Such a lovely bunch here I know all will welcome you too xxx

    I'll make a point of keeping in touch this month xxx Sorry for my absence xxx

    Hi everyone!

    Nice to see the sun shining today! Hopefully be a nice weekend (but not too nice on Sunday as I'm running the Race For Life and I haven't ever ran 5K before so heat will NOT be a beneficial factor for me!! Haha!)

    Glad to see some other Friday morning weigh-in people! I had a sneaky look this morning and it's promising! To be honest I'm already at my "target weight" and just toning and building muscle but I wouldn't mind still losing a bit more fat haha! It's so much harder near the end!

    Well I've been doing my 30 Day Shred dvd for about 40 days now (I am a bit addicted and often do 2 or 3 shreds in a day now!!) but ordered Billy Blanks Tae Bo boxset on Tuesday and I'm really hoping it comes tomorrow in time for the weekend! Has anyone else done his workout dvds? What did you think?

    Anyways, I'm going to try and keep up with this months UK thread :)

    Hope everyone is having a good day!!

    Hey guys I'm really going to try and go for it this month! I have been extremely lax lately and slipped into old habits!

    I'm currently working on "realistic" goals for me to reach, so I'll post them up later!

    Hi everyone!

    June is going to be a busy month for me :
    + monday i start the Level 2 gym instructors course - the fast track version
    + the 19th i move back home from uni
    + the 21st i start my first full time (adult) job
    + end of month possibly moving into my own house

    so theres not going to be much time to think about eating right but at least i wont snack - i'll be too busy too

    My goal for the month is just to get back on track - ive been completely off the wagon and the past 2 weeks or so have just been one long binge.

    Hi guys.

    I just wanted to say how nice it is now that I am losing weight to be able to go out in the sun in t-shirts and 3/4 length trousers and not feel totally self-conscious. I am still not happy with how I look but am happy enough to go out without having to hide under a really baggy top and I think thats great!

    I am looking forward to the day when I can open my wardrobe and know everything in there will fit!

    Hope everyone else is enjoying the sunshine! :smile:

    Evening All

    Hellooooo & welcome to all the newbies and the oldies :)

    I've not been around much on the forums this past month, the patch of depression that I thought was minor has a tighter grip than I thought. But I am battling on, putting one foot in front of the other. I am managing to keep control of my eating this time, which can only be a good thing - I hit my 2nd goal of 2stone, by losing 7lbs in weight this week. i wish I could say the same about my smoking....but I'm working on that too.

    Anyhoo, i think I'm about all out of things to say for now. All of you take care and keep going with the healthy eating and exercise. Till the next time....
    Love & Hugs

    :flowerforyou: Hi I am also doing the race for life on Sunday. Although I am walking it with my sister in law, neice and her little one year old daughter. Good on you for running - we did it last year too, it's a great atmosphere and it's for a good cause too :smile:

    :frown: My weight is at a bit of a standstill at the moment so I am a bit fed up, but I find mfp helps having to log everything I eat, can't believe the calories in some of the things I eat. :bigsmile: It certainly gets you thinking about healthier options.

    Well it's getting late so I'll say goodnight. :smile:

    Weighed in this morning. June's starting weight is 195.2lbs (13st 13.2lbs). I neeeed to get comfortably away from that 14st line. My boyfriend's planning on losing a couple of pounds ready for the World Cup because he knows that will be full of what I like to brand 'beige food' (sausage rolls, any breaded meats etc). He's at a perfect weight already, though. I'm not! Haha.
