Team UK - March 2010

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

Hiyaa all..hope u don't mind me joining your group, it's nice to see people from the UK on here as most are american aren't they

I'm new to all this, but it seems like a good site to lose weight! I've got about 10lbs to lose which is going to be pretty hard but i can do this

I hope you all had good evenings? I finished my tuesday off with another hard session at the gym.. I could have pushed myself a bit more but my mind was else where.. i still managed to burn off 500 cals according to my HRM. :drinker:

What have you all got for breakfast? Im starting the day with a bowl of porridge (mainly made with water with a little bit of milk) and a pint of cold water.. yum! :laugh: Personally i would love to have the time to make myself a bacon omelette !!

Plantpot - Yey, im glad i've managed to recruit a few more for my challenge!! Its gonna be tricky - but im crossing my fingers, toes and anything else that will cross that i will have a perfect weekend!

Love Katherine x

P.S. Anyone watch Supersized Vs Superskinny...? I the show!

Morning everyone

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

Again Happy Birthday Lee :drinker:

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

I have a problem tonight guys...going cinema to watch Bounty Hunter...somebody PLEASE tell me how to boycott the pick n mix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K men are fools! I'm sorry you're feel :huh: that's meant to be blue...here's two more :grumble: 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 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: ).

I watched Supersize v Superskinny :noway: she was soooooooo tiny and :noway: that poor Supersize girl, she wasn't into it at first was she, she didn't look like she found that video of our American friends too scary - glad she admitted about her diary in the end!!! The tiny one looked sooo much better even after putting half a stone on in her face! Looking forward to next week!

Have a great dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy everyone :flowerforyou:

Mimi

Happy birthday Lee.. if you are old then I am past it:laugh: :laugh:


K, stay strong. You will do what is right for you, i ams sure you will:flowerforyou:

Half way through the week, I hope you are all doing well with the weekly challenge. I am there in spirit with you all.

Monday can not come quick enough then I can get back to the gym.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Steve

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.

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:

Mimi - OMG pink & blue cola bottles .................. Love em. You could always chop some carrot & celery up to munch on :laugh: not quite the same I know

Steve - Glad the eyes are healing


Katherine - sorry about the BF, keep strong and remember that ultimately we are responsible for our own happiness. You do whats best for YOU.

Melissa - Welcome to the group, this is a great bunch of people. :happy:

I have to decide where to go for dinner tonight. The OH wants to go for an Indian and I suppose as it is his anniversary as well, he should have some say ! As much as I love curry I know I will overeat, much rather go for a steak. :grumble:

Ahh Karen - the sound of a curry is like music to my ears.. except im really really boring when i go... i usually only have - Popadoms (usually 2) with the Mango chutney and onion/tomato salad (YUMMO) then for main its gotta be the Tikka Chicken (not the masala) with the side salad.. im not much of a rice person.. but cant resist the naan bread.. nom nom!

Enjoy x

Karen - omg pink and blue cola bottles I love them too! Aah I know I am going to get pick n mix I just KNOW it! And curry omg I love cod machli and I love the chutney's that come with the popadoms...omg so, hungry thinking about sweets and curry haha (drool)!

K, I know our perfect week might not be completely flawless afterall! Though I figure pretty good days everyday accept one MASSIVE PORTION of sweets is pretty perfect right...ahem! :brokenheart:

Mimi

Evening all :bigsmile:

I had my weekly weigh-in at the Rosemary Conley class I go to and smashed my 1stone target by an extra 2.5lbs :drinker:

I can't stop smiling :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I am sorry to hear about you bf Katherine - look after youself.

And, belated happy birthday Lee - hope it's been a good one!!

I've been really good today but it says I haven't ate enough calories, should you try and reach the target everyday?

Also can you access the messages on iphone app?

Cheers m'dear

For me personally, I have a calorie limit set by the Rosemary Conley class (1700 cals) and the one on this site (1410 cals) so I try and eat between the 2 limits. Saying that, i tend not to eat the 'exercise' calories and so far with the logging am under my calorie limit each day. BUT I don't go hungry. And it's always useful to have a few calories spare just my tuppence worth

Hello!

Hope you guys don't mind me joining I'm from Wales and have 2 stone to lose!! I should of weighed myself on Monday... I had a bad weekend and Monday came round too quickly and I was too scared to do it...

Fear of weighing myself - sounds ridiculous? :L

It would be good to talk to people from the UK, if anyone here can speak Welsh that'd be great too!

Hi Caryl!!

Nice to see someone from Wales :bigsmile:
I worked in Cardiff for three months and LOVED it there!! Great people, great city
Sadly did not pick up ANY welsh when I was there though!!

Don't worry about the scale fear we all have it at times... I'm avoiding mine too!!
Wish you all the best with your goal, this is a great place for advice and support
Mel xx

Thanks Mel! I love this site, so many nice people here
I've only been a student in Cardiff for 7 months, first year at the Atrium University :happy: LOVE the city! Glad you loved it too!
Originally I'm from North Wales, where all the mountains and 'josgins' are :laugh:

I plucked up the courage to go into the pharmacy today to weigh myself... to say I had a bad 2 weeks of eating absolute rubbish, I have lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks! yaaaaay!! But I know I need to eat better, I won't continue the way I am, for sure!
