    Hi, can I join Team Uk?! I have 30lbs to lose (according to Wii Fit which I feel is slightly mean spirited!) I would love to lose at least half of that by August as am going to LA and am afraid that they won't let me on the beach!

    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 :smile:
    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 :smile:
    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!

    Caryl x

    Your welcome xx

    The people here really are great, I'm sure you'll have all the support you need. Any help we can offer we'll be glad too.
    2lbs is great weight loss, Well done!!
    I do know how you feel, sometimes it's really hard to resist certain foods. Even harder whilst at Uni!!
    My weight can really dart about too, don't look any different but can be anything around 5-6lbs heavier or lighter for no real reason. Weird!!

    This place really does help keeping on top of your foods and I've found I've noticed patterns in what I eat, it also highlights when I eat too many snacks and treats - I think I'd forget them otherwise!!
    I've found that I'm eating healthier than probably ever before, as a routine now rather than just a short lived diet.
    And it even motivates me to exercise more than I would naturally too :o)
    So your in the right place!!

    I love Wales, I used to go there for holidays with my family when I was a kid, first skiied in Wales on those mountains!!
    Such a lovely place. I'm going to take my son camping in Wales this summer.
    We did a little camping trip last summer, just a couple of days to make sure he liked it and we were well prepared.
    He loved it and didn't want to go home!! He is 5 :o)
    This time I'll feel happier to take him further from home and for longer, I know he'll love Wales and he'll love crossing the seven bridge too, we'll stay somewhere near Cardigan Bay and try to see some dolphins!!

    Hi all

    Welcome to Melissa, Caryl, and Ali


    This is a great site to come to, everyone is so supportive (& some are quite nuts.... not talking about anyone in particular Mimi):laugh:

    Well guys on the plus side my anniversary meal went well, we stayed in !! LOL on the downside the 'perfect weekend' maybe more of a challenge as we are going out Sat night with friends!!!!
    Had a couple of glasses of Champagne, and made a low fat fry up with oven chips. I wouldn't let the other half go & buy Chip Shop ones as there is no way I wouldn't have eaten any! He didn't understand why !! MEN well specifically men who would burn the calories in chips off, the next day at work!!

    well have a good day everyone

    Haha :laugh: I totally get what you mean! I really want to go to LA and I know this is going to sound really lame but I have always thought I would never go to LA unless I was at my weight goal ... that seems really silly but I dunno, I just feel like I wouldn't enjoy it otherwise! With all them scary health gurus over there!!!!! I'm sure you'll reach your goal, welcome to the group! :flowerforyou:

    Just checking in to say hi. Have tried to keep up with this thread and I fail miserably! lol.

    I must try harder to keep up and reply properly. I am looking forward to the weekend here, and plan to be motivated, I have a whole day to myself so can do DVD's without kids laughing at my wobbly bits!

    Not had the greatest start to the week, but hey, that's ok I am back on track now, will weigh in tomorrow (expect I have put on this week) but I will have a loss next week!

    Hope you all have a lovely evening :drinker: here's to Friday!

    Just got invited to this group on facebook, i somehow missed all the sports relief business but was amazed at what Eddie Izzard achieved!

    "Eddie Izzard ran 43 marathons in 51 days!He ran 1,160 miles around the UK to raise money for Sports Relief even though he had no previous running experience and only had just over 5 weeks training!"

    Kind of makes the 12 miles ive done this week (some walked) seem pretty pathetic! if a guy his age in his shape can do it then so can i! well maybe not quite... but its a good motivator i thought *maybe i'll start C25K WK5 D1 tomorrow after all....*

    Hi Well I am about to have the Perfect Week end,but notin the same way!! Mine started on Thurs so already ahead. I went to see Dreamboats and Petticoats with my Mum, Dad and sister.... It was fab!! we danced in the aisles and sang away. I managed to avoid all the chocolate but did have a glass of wine. Now I am off to meet my best friend at a hotel spa. We have 3 treatments booked but the package comes with 3 course dinner every night!! I think all my spare time is going to be spent in the gym or pool!! Will still check in and try to stay on track. Have a Perfect Weekend all !!

    Hello All :bigsmile:

    Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to your wekends, sounds like some good stuff going on this weekend :happy:

    I'm working - as usual but we have a big weekend. We have Danny Dyer Djing this weekend so I'm looking forward to meeting him and working with him!! (I work in a nightclub doing lighting) I expect we'll be very busy tonight so should be good.
    I just wish I was feeling a little slimmer - I have been avoiding my scales as I know I've put on some water weight and don't want to be disheartened by how much. Typical it fall on a week when I want to feel good!! :sad:

    Hey ho!! Have a great weekend to you all and I'll look forward to catching up with what you've all been up to when I'm home again

    Hello all :)

    Just reading your comments and wondering... this might be a stupid question - what's a perfect weekend?
    I guess that's just healthy eating right? Ooooh I'm silly :laugh:

    Feeling quite good today, got two of my essays in before 4pm and I'm now off uni for 3 weeks, hooray for easter holidays!! Only bad thing is I'm working tonight, 7pm till 4am :( and then it's 10pm till 4am tomorrow.... owwwww.

    Mel - Where do you work!? :O your job sounds awesome anyway :)

    kpnuts23 (cute name.. awww!) - Hope you have a good weekend, London is sweet :) and hope you feel ok, the last thing you need before beginning the weekend is a cold!! (although I think I might catch one after walking in the rain... Cardiff is miserable today!!)

    Jo - Hi! havn't spoken to you yet (havn't really spoken to anyone here yet but I'm new so that's ok :laugh: ) must be so exciting that you're getting married soon!! And well done with your weight-loss, awesome!

    Everyone else whom I missed.... hope you have a great weekend :) yaaaaay!

    Dam weight. Up two pounds since last weigh in. Took the plunge to try n quit alcohol. Seriously been messing up everything with that and also cigarettes but feeling confident after not having one for a week again. Beer is my enemy. I expected weigh gain tho i suppose. Uni work is killing me along with annoying job. Vent over.
    Back running again tomorrow and next week should be good. Best friend has got heart op next week too so I think i'm fretting more than him lol. Can;t wait for easter to be over so I can get back to normality. I still fit into my 32" jeans tho so can't really complain.

    Looks like everyone else is doing fantastic how Ironic now the shoe is on the other foot. I am the failing on for once!

    Oh well I'm keeping positive I will be fine soon

    Morning everyone.

    Hope you are all well and for those of you who went out last night I hope there are not too many hangovers or breakfast cures being had. Not much planned for the day. Probably going to have a quiet weekend. Off to Milton Keynes again tomorrow for another check up on my eyes, and if everything is ok i will be back at the gym on Monday :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

    I'm not looking forward to getting back on the scales. I feel like I have put a bit back on :mad: but I'll just have to work harder at the gym. 8 weeks to go before the holiday so my goal is still 1-2lb a week.

    Hello everyone - hope you're all doing ok? It's sunny here today :smile:

    What are you all up to this weekend? I've got a concert today, so lots of running around sorting things out and then playing this afternoon/evening. No time for the gym today, which is a bit tricky as we usually end up eating at a pub closest to the venue. Will just have to be good. At least when I play I avoid the wine! :noway:

    Tomorrow I'll head off to the gym, and then hopefully get out in to the garden to replant all the veggie seeds that the squirrel dug up and ate! Home made pizza for tea! Gotta try and be good this weekend, because I'm pretty sure that next weekend will be a disaster as I'm going home to see mum, and she just won't take no for an answer on the food or the wine! Then there is the Easter chocolate....:love:

    Hope you all have great weekends.
