Team UK - April 2010

I GOT MY YELLOW BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile:

Excellent !!!

K,

I know how you feel...I went down to stay with my mum while my sister was having an operation on 8th April and everything was down hill from there. As I think I've already mentioned I did eat a whole box of a ferrero rocher in one day and various other things that while I was even putting them in my mouth I wasn't enjoying but couldn't stop myself. Last week I went to the gym like twice, or three times or something and I just wasn't feeling it. I KNEW I had put on weight but for some reason felt like I was going around in a daze and it's like I was looking at myself from behind glass but not being able to do anything about it!!!!!!

Anywwway, I had my "light bulb moment" on Sunday evening and I just felt like I'd snapped out of whatever I had been in. 2.5 months til my holiday and I will be the Belle of the Beach! Day 2 of me being back on the band wagon and I'm doing good! You're my inspiration on here, everyone has it tough sometimes but I know if anyone can lose 3lbs in three weeks it's YOU! :smooched:

Well done on the Yellow Belt Kenda! :flowerforyou:

Bye for now people!

Mimi

Awww K, totally hear you!! It's SO frustrating huh? I would look at that post any time you feel like having something norty, it'll help you stop yourself!! You've done amaaaaaazingly well this far, don't put yourself down xx

Hi guys, hope you are all well. :flowerforyou:

Well I am getting really fed up. I seem to stick to my cals the majority of days, and exercise frequently, but I am not loosing any weight!!! I havent lost during April and its really dis-heartening!!! My wedding is in September and I am worried that I am doing things wrong an wasting time. I would really like to loose a stone which would take me to 9.11 for my gorgeous dress! Am considering giving Weight Watchers another try as I have lost weight on that in the past and know it works. :sad: :sad:

I honestly feel like I am putting a lot of effort in and getting little / no results!!! :grumble: :grumble:

KP I feel you pain hun, I really do. Personally I think you look fab on your pics and maybe you are putting too much pressure on yourself!!! Have you been on the scales that show your body fat or whether you are within a healthy weight range. It could be that your body is at a comfy weight and you are pushing too hard with those last few lbs.

Kendra, well done with your grading!! Thats brill and what a great challenge!!!

I had a badish day as had a working lunch at San Carlo again, I dont think the meal was too unhealthy and not planning to have tea as still full. I had completley forgot re the lunch and bought health salad stuff on the way in to work so was really annoyed (:grumble: ) when I was reminded re the lunch!!!

Did dragg my *kitten* to the gym for a 3.5 mile run, to cancel the lunch out, which was hard work as just wanted some sofa time!!

Anyway, sorry for being negative!! Will have a think about things, probaly not helping that its tom, so am in a bit of a grump and all bloated and sluggish! :yawn: :explode: :yawn:

Have pleasant evenings everybody.

xx

Good morning Uk'ers!

I have been a little quiet the last couple of days as I went back to school and was exhausted by the time I got home! I have now switched to maintenance calories, I have not got to my goal weight but I just don't know if I will. I am much happier with the way I look and am definitely more confident in my body so I am happy to stay at maintenance and just try and tone up.

I have not been feeling quite right though and have booked a doctors appointment. I just seem to be really tired all the time, I eat healthily and I exercise so this isn't the way I'm supposed to feel! It's so frustrating! Especially as my job is quite demanding. I will see what the doctors say tonight though.

Kendra - well done on your grading!

Plantpot - I hope you feel better today, TOM can really affect how you feel so see how it is when your back to your normal self. Things may look different then.

I hope you guys have a good day. xx

lady c - hope your ok and its nothing to bad at the doctors, well done on reaching maintenance:flowerforyou:

katherine - VERY stressful! although mine ws supposed to be handed in tomorrow but we've been given a weeks extention coz theres a few of the people on my course stuck abroad.
i know what you mean about feeling better for getting back on track - all my binges totally messed up my skin and my sleeping :noway:

ooooo just as another update from me - i got a job! in the customer services department of the cumberland building society head office! so thats me sorted for when i finish uni :bigsmile:

i really wish i could be outside its really sunny!:glasses:

Hey all,

Hope everyone is okay. Not been on here for the last few days, been pretty poorly so have not been the gym, or been eating properly. :frown: Finally got over it now, so can eat anything that's not toast/soup and can finally get back the gym.

Anyone who's on my friends list may have seen me do 138 minutes of brisk walking and burn 975 cals. That wasn't gym work lol, it was the fact that I had to walk home from work as I didn't have my car and I wasn't feeling too good. Was some walk though. WEnt through 3 seperate postcode areas to get home, think it's 9 miles! :noway:

Kendra - Well done on the yellow belt hun! Good work! :happy:

KP - Don't worry about ranting, I do it all the time. :laugh: Best to get it off your chest rather than letting it build up.

To all the new guys and gals - Welcome to a great site and a great thread too! :drinker:

Well, I've got a lot of work to catch up on so I'll speak to you all later on!

Take care

Lee..
