Team UK - September10

haha the French food was far too good to diet. I ate sooooo much cheese, baguette, steaks n frites I almost popped twice. Still had plenty of good healthy stuff too.

Start again from tomorrow.

Gah... I seem to have put a pound back on, or at least I'm carrying that much water after a fairly bad weekend...

Oh well. Could be a lot worse!

Now to see what two weeks of travel do to my waistline... ;o)

bumping for later!

Good luck with the non-smoking James. Have been there myself - had my last smoke in Feb last year and it's the first time I've quit and not missed it at all. Really think the smoking ban has helped as there's no temptation there in terms of smoking in pubs / clubs cos you just can't! Thankfully my close friends and family are non-smokers too so I know you have amazing willpower so am sure you'll do just fine.

Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred went great and am looking forward to staying on track for the rest of the week. Rock n roll! :drinker:

Hi

I have just joined but thought it can only help to have a goal even if it is a few days too late. I am moving house in a couple of weeks and I have two big work projects which are wrecking my routine so I think a goal of 4 lbs is realistic.

Off to plan my meals!

How does this team UK post work ? Just curious. And is it ok to be part of the team even if I'm not British born (blush),.. My granny was Welsh if that helps. And I live here up in sunny Warrington )

Hiya Well you don't need to be British - just live over here! We're kind of a support community for MPF members. We try to post a target at the start of the month and then encourage and support each other throughout the month. You're more than welcome to join us! :flowerforyou:

I haven't lost this week which is kind of disappointing as I've been exercising hard and eating well. Got fingers crossed that things will turn around next week.

James - you're doing great without the smokes so keep loving your body. You know it makes sense :bigsmile:

Hope everybody's having a great weekend and looking forward to a wonderful week x

Hi all,

I am really struggling atm. I'm back at work now (special needs teacher) and have loads of paper work to do which means sitting in front of my computer each evening trying to work as fast as I can!

I have also hurt my back really bad - last Tuesday I couldn't walk and ended up in tears at work - not like me. I do suffer with a bad back but it usually comes and goes, this time it has been over a week. So, my newly found exercise regime has had to be put on hold for a while.

I am going to get back to it this week. Good luck everyone!

Hi All

My plans for 1lb per week was completely blown out of the water at the weekend when I managed to fall over in my 4in heels and damage my ankle ligaments!! The Doctor in A&E also burst my bubble as he could see the pleased look on my face when he told me there were no broken bones i.e no plaster cast and then said "Ligament damage is often worse than a broken bone, it can take months to heal". So I asked him about exercise and he told me to put it out of my mind for "several months"!!! Aaargh! I was just going to join a Zumba class this month too and had really got back into my circuit training. with only 3lbs to go I am hoping to try and keep the 8lbs off I have already lost since I cannot exercise! Exercise was my get out of jail card when I'd overdosed on takeaways and wine at the weekends!!! Now I will have to be extra good to make sure I don't undo all the hard work.
My 30 Day Shred DVD which I purchased a fortnight ago will have to stay put for a while longer (

So my goal for the next two months is to stick at my weight! If I can get exercising by November/December then I aim to shift those last pesky 3lbs by Xmas!!

Hope you're all doing better than me ;-) !! xxx

Well i don't know how I have done it. I haven't given food a thought for 2 weeks since I went to france and ate like a pig. Still went down the gym a few times but nothing like I had been before. Still managed to lose 2kgs on the scales today. Result. Im in the mood for putting my diet right again from tomorrow.

how's everyone else doing, it's been over a week since I clocked in last.

Hi everyone

Well it sounds like we're all having a bit of a hard time being motivated right now and the lack of posts in the last week probably reflects that. Hoping everyone finds the will to get back on track soon and, for those who haven't lost the will but just the time and ability, I hope your circumstances improve and allow you to come back to us

This week has been pretty good although I managed to put my knee out a little doing the 30 Day Shred on Tuesday. Wednesday and yesterday were fairly exercise free as a result :yawn: which was disappointing but I did a low impact workout this morning and feel much better for it. The sun is shining here in Somerset which always helps and I'll be going for a long walk into town this afternoon for my appt at the hairdressers which will help keep the metabolism going when it would otherwise be tempting to sit in the garden! Weigh in tomorrow which is a little daunting after last week so have got fingers crossed.

Hope to hear some good news stories from you all in the near future :flowerforyou:

I didn't even realise there was a UK thread ( I am incredibly blonde)!

I have been a member here for a while but started my programme proper 3 weeks ago. So far I have lost 20lbs. I have a long way to go as yet xxx

Awwww that's fantastic Nikki! Well done you xxx
