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. xx0 -
Morning everyone!!

Afternoon (only just ) everyone
well today i spoke to my teacher about that massive piece of coursework i had my relapse from.
and well she says i should be getting an A in it
which means my hard work paid off
just a few tweaks & what not
so now i know even if i did eat unhealthy for a bit in a way it was worth it
& won't do it again
went to spinning last night and was talking to a girl
she started off doing just spinning classes..
but now she does a 90 minute challenge before it aswell!
2 & 1/2 hours of intense exercise, i was impressed
she's going to do the new york marathon next year, so i'm aiming to keep on pace with her during the classes
hope everyone's okay
think 2 days till the weekend!

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and wanted to get to this UK thread to introduce myself. This site is really good - I'm really enjoying keeping a track of everything and logging all my exercise. I'm feeling very motivated, and it's great to know there is a UK thread on the messageboard.
So far (from mid Feb), I have lost 18 lbs - but I still have two more stones to go to target but I'm feeling very positive.
Nice to meet you all.

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

Hi guys and welcome to all newies
Not posted in a few days because I have had to be on the road for a couple of days and it was pure murder avoiding the KFCs on the M1 etc
Anyway back at home again and guess what weighed myself last night and finally lost another couple of pounds :happy: 5 lbs gone and 9 to go to my target weight of 12 - 5
Hope you are all well and can see we seem all to be having little clitches along the way, sorry KP.:flowerforyou:
Have faith and try harder and remember its going to be a lovely summer in jolly old england, so we need to look good in the back garden,:smooched: so as not to frighten the neighbours :glasses:

P.S the fish dish went down well with the wife last sat nite: only trouble is she expects me to do it again :sad:0 -
I just got back from the doctors, had some blood taken although it took forever as doctor really struggled to find a vein, will hopefully get test results back on Monday afternoon. Ah well, night off gym for me. I have a really sore hand/arm from drawing blood in two different places. Ouchie! :sad: Not so great with needles either!

I have finally lost a pound!! Woop!!
Thursday tomorrow and payday Friday, yippee!!!
Well done on the lost pound.
I went back to gym after 2 1/2 weeks off and am aching tonight. Pushed it a bit harder to make up I think. Lovely surprise is that I'm top of the weight/inches lost for march. Wow! How motivating is that.
I just love this particular board, us uk folk keeping each other going. Long may it continue.
Best wishes all.

Hi All
Humpday as some of you say and I have got the hump today!! Lovely sunny day but just feel fed up. Hopefully it will pass soon!
Have been keeping under my daily calorie allowance by following the Kellogs 2 week kick start ( 2 bowls of cereal and 1 main dinner) I seemed to have adapted quite well to the amount I can eat, but when I weigh myself mid week (and yes I know I am not supposed to) I have put on weight. How?? 2 days to go til weigh in day and to be honest I am dreading it.
On the plus side iy is supposed to be a lovely week end weather wise so will make sure I egt out to enjoy the sunshine!
Keep up the good work all

I need to get running now, my hip and back are still slightly twingy but not too bad...and I'm starting to freak out about the run!!!0 -
Carrie...I'm sure you've heard this loads....but....you cannot physically put on fat if you are eating less calories than you are 'spending'!! Don't worry chick!! xx0

Morning everyone!!
Its Thursday! Yipeeee! Pay day tomorrow as well!!
So after work yesterday i was mean to go to the gym... i didn't.. instead i hung out with my bestie and caught up with all the goss... There was A LOT!!! .. anywhoo i went home about 6.45ish n started on my dinner.. Chicken and prawn stirfry.. YUM!...
Sat down infront of the TV and thought there was sod all on TV.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. I decided to get off my bum and go to the gym.. at 8.45..... lol! :laugh:
It wasn't anything crazy, but im glad i went an burnt some cals..
Hope your all ok? :flowerforyou: Katherine x 0 -
Ooops !!!
A nice walk down town earned me 177 kcals, but the McDonalds Cadbury Creme Egg Mcflurry cost me 405 kcals !!!!
Well, it is was a lovely sunny day, and I just couldn't resist.
Hope you are all well, haven't had much chance to visit the board since I joined a couple of weeks back as work is really hectic at the moment, but the good news for me is I have been logging my food and exercise daily, and after my first two weeks on the site have kissed goodbye to 5 lbs.
Just got to keep this up for a few months now at a steady 1lb per week to get to my goal
Hope everyone has a good rest of the week, and it looks like we have some nice weather to look forward to at the weekend.
Regards

Beautiful day here so am off into the garden to do loads of work. Will ache tonight but just think of all the calories I will burn off!
Have a great Sat everyone. Might even need suncream :happy:

OK so as you know I am trying to maintain, this week has not been the greatest week food wise BUT I have maintained! I am so pleased as I was sure I had gained! Hooray!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
I will be so glad when this week is over and its monday again - it'll mean i can eat properly again (YES!!)
ive beeing doing this sacred heart diet all week (and yes i have cheated slightly) and its almost killed me not being able to eat bread or chocolate - ive lived off fruit, veg and soup all week! (apart from when i cheated) it has been worth it though - ive gone from 150.6lbs to (as of today) 145.8 with two days to go which im estimating at another 2lbs so i *should* weigh at least 143.8 on monday which will be the lightest ive been since i put the weigh on in the first place!
It also puts me within reaching range of my goal to get into the 9st catagoy before the uni's summer ball on the 28th may (5 weeks)
i really wish i was out walking today - its so lovely out! but im stuck in the library working on an essay (oh joy!)
hope you are all having a better weekend!
good TV tonight though so i might go on the wii free step whilst watching total wipeout, doctor who and over the rainbow
