I hope you get to feeling better soon!0 -
@Rach - the progress you're making with the running is phenomenal! Well done to you!
@ Hanna - Hope you feel better soon... I had a cold last week - it really drains you doesn't it - and when your nose is running it's very hard to workout!
I've had a VERY poor weekend... At the clothes swap party on friday I ate ALL the things I shouldn't have eaten - cakes, chocolate, crisps... Drank wine with lemonade too...
Was good during the day on Saturday - even got a workout in, but Saturday night at the wedding reception there was a lovely buffet and TOM had reared his ugly head and I ATE! Sandwiches, sausage rolls, cheese, quiche.... and drank muchos gin and slimline tonic, jaegermeister, red bull and a couple of rums...
Today I am soooooo not feeling good! Had a nice walk to the park but that's it for the exercise today... Had a relatively good roast chicken lunch but now all I want to do is eat chocolate.... I hate TOM.... Especially when it coincides with parties! I didn't have a chance! My willpower was non-existant...
So I'll no doubt show a gain this wednesday.... Ho hum.... Never mind - guess a set back was inevitable!!
On a brighter note I bought some new trousers yesterday! I'm finding my UK24 size too loose so went to get some UK22... There were none I liked but there were some in a UK20... Bought 3 different pairs and tried them on when I got home as the shop doesn't have a fitting room (
) and was AMAZED!!
Ok they don't actually do up but give it a few weeks and they will! I haven't been able to fit into a size 20 since I was about 16!!! And I don't think I've been able to get a size 20 over my *kitten* for many years! So despite not fitting i'm still classing it as a NSV!0 -
Always good when clothes are getting smaller. I am going to get my thin clothes bag out at the end of this challenge to see how much has come off. Although my 18 jeans are getting saggy on the *kitten*, so thats a good sign and my bra's are feeling a bit big.
Keep on trucking you lot!!!

Yeah Katie, You made my day. Just about to leave for work and I was completing my diary etc and saw you here. So glad to have you on board. Now I can catch the train happily. I'm not driving today. Its raining and everyone (other drivers go nuts in the rain). Unfortunately its the school kids train, but good thing is I have an hour to sit back and do nothing. I have been very unmotivated today, so took it as my rest day. Hope your Monday was good. Some on here still have a clean slate for their monday hasn't even started yet. Wouldn't it be good if we could rewind some days. Oh well.

I too had a bad weekend eating wise. Chocolate has become my enemy with pizza fighting at a close 2nd. I have been strong for almost 8 weeks and then bam. I think my husband pigging out before he starts this journey with me tomorrow (Monday) is what did it. It was his last big hurrah before stating the new eating lifestyle. I am regretting every bite I put in my mouth this weekend and I am sure that the scale will not be nice. Speaking of scale are we still doing Wednesday this week or switching it to Monday?
Anyway, hope everyone has a good weigh-in and a good week!0 -
Hi Katie! A warm welcome to you!
@Idahogirl - weigh in is still wednesdays until the end of this goal challenge...
My TOM is here with a vengeance so what with that and the terrible weekend I had food and alcohol wise I doubt there'll be a loss on Wednesday! Ah well! Live and learn!!0 -
OK so 8.6 lbs to go for 213 target due next week eeek! All I can do is my best and treats are banned for the forseeable!!!0

Hello!
My weekend was ok, apart from yesterday, it could have been better! I am a member of a local theatre group and it was the annual AGM yesterday and they had a buffet. It was all so lovely and I had one too many brie and grape sandwiches but I was only about 32 calories over my goal, so not that bad, right?
I definitely think I am going to do the Race for Life this year. Any other UK'ers planning on it? I printed off one of those from Couch to 5k guides and my ipod arm strap came over the weekend, so can get out there!0 -
Welcome Katie!!! This group rocks, i hope you'll like it here!0

Why is it that with just only one day not exercising makes me feel fatter. I have exercised for the last 6 days, 3 days Jillian Michaels, then ballet, then Jillian then a 30min walk. Today I rested, and now tonight I feel fat. I have just got home 10.30pm and way too tired to do anything. I ate ok only went over a little, but my body missed the exercise or is it all in the mind. Tomorrow I will have to get up early to fit in exercise as I am spending the day over with my mum, although that can entail a lot of cleaning etc. but must also resist her pantry with its treats. I need another challenge, girls, I am sticking to having giver up chocolates and loolies for lent, and extra internet browsing. But I think I'm ready for a boost. Should we finish our last week of this challenge with burning 3,500 calories, which would also be a good way for our newbies to start. Or/and when is St Patricks day, could we only eat green that day. (is that even possible). Well good night all.0
-
If everyone's up for a week of 3500 then lets do it!
Show of hands please?!
Not sure about the eating green thing! Guess we could HAVE to eat something green with each meal of the day? Don't think it would be possible to eat JUST green things all day!!!
St Patricks day is the 17th March so lets see what everyone else thinks! x
My wednesday work out will probably be quite poor as I'm having to take my daughter to the hospital so by the time i get home I'll be shattered (our nearest hospital is 40 miles away!) Will have to do my EA and will have to count the walking I do while I hit Asda!0 -
Ugh I feel terrible for not being able to post on here daily
Weight for last week is 321 and this week it's 318.8 0 -
I hurt my back last night but will do my best to burn the 3500 calories this week. I not only feel better when I exercise everyday, but I need it after this weekend.
I am all for eating something green at every meal on St. Patty's Day. Sounds like a fun min challenge.
Now for the fun part of my day (or not so fun part) - ridding my apartment of all the unhealthy fattening foods that were allowed in over the weekend. I hate the "after-party-cleanup", but this must be done. And now it is ALL the unhealthy food since my hubby is stating this journey today. YEAH an at home buddy to do this journey with!!
Anyway, I need to get off this computer and do some stretching to hopefully help my back a little. I hope everyone has a good workout week and an even better weight loss at the weigh in. Good day all.0 -
St. Patricks eat green day (17th March)
Haha Claire, sounds like you dont like eating your greens.
Idaho, the more I think about it ,I too think its a fun challenge.
Here are some ideas for everyone to think about, please add to ithe list.
1. Green tea. 2. Leek and Zucchini soup, (or any green vege soup, ie, Asparagus, celery, Pea) 3. Salad made of lettuce, rocket, avocado, calery, capsicum, broccilli, basil, snow peas, cucumber 4. Green stir fry, cabbage, celery, beans, capsicum, broccilli. 5. green fruits, grapes, apples, pears, kiwi fruit, 6.basil pesto over that green pasta 7. green lentils
And for the not quite so green
1. Poached eggs on a bed of steamed spinach. 2. feta and spinach triangels. 3. haloumi, lentil and rocket salad.0 -
I'm up for the 3500 calorie burn, that sounds good. Especially since my husband and I got a Y membership last week. :happy:
@Chili- It's my TOM also, not looking forward to weigh in either. You know, I've heard that women that live together tend to get their TOM together, but I never knew that women on a discussion board together could synchronize also
Good luck to everyone this week. Oh, and do we have to eat green all day, or could I just get by with eating something green? I'm a big fan of my cereal in the morning. I don't really want to have to make my milk green or something.0 -
Awwwww Jen i am glad i made your day
I didn't have the best afternoon/ evening yesterday but there is nothing i can do to change that now, except to have a great day today!! So i am determined to have a good food day today!
I have read about the "eat green for St. Patricks Day" mini challenge. I have lunch all sorted haha as i had way too many zucchini's the other day so my freezer is full of zucchini slice and zucchini & basil soup but my breakfast and dinners aren't green lol.
Although i have some green tea at work so i can have that as part of my breakfast i guess and maybe have some more zucchini with dinner!!! Sounds like a plan haha!
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome
And from what i have read, i am guessing that tomorrow (Wednesday) we need to record our current weight on this thread? Kind of dreading that now after last nights efforts haha! Oh well
Hope you all have a fabulous day!!0 -
I went shopping today and did well on my new set goal of parking farther from the door. I went to 3 stores and followed my 20 parking spaces from the door rule at 2 of them. The first one I parked 40 spaces from the door, the second was 26 spaces from the door and the third was only 16 spaces or I would have had to park in a completely different parking lot about 6 blocks away. Not that it would have hurt me any to do the extra walking, but I did not have the time as I had to get to work. But all-in-all I did get some extra walking in by parking so far away. My husband thinks I am nuts for doing this, but I figure any extra calories burned are in my favor. Tomorrow if the weather is good I will be walking the dogs to get more calories burned toward the 3500 for this week. I have a new (4 mo old) puppy that is not leash trained yet so that should make for some fun times!
Hope everyone had a good day today....I will check back in sometime tomorrow. i am off work tomorrow, but have a busy day planned with friends. I am preparing all my food in the morning and taking it with me so that I will not be tempted to overeat or to eat things I shouldn't. i am going to a potluck tomorrow night and those are my weakness so doing it this way I will not have any reason at all to go near the buffet table.0 -
Lol I like green foods! Honest! I have peppermint tea, and does thai green curry count?!
So tomorrow we'll start a 3500 burn week... Groovy!
Can we all do a little "getting to know you" type thing too please? I'll start!

I'm doing a little experiment this week... I've changed my settings to what mfp suggests so I'm going to be eating 1520 cals a day... Will see if it makes any difference to the constant state of hunger I often find myself in...
If it doesn't work I'll play around again!0 -
Firstly welcome to Katie.
Poorcopies - Just did a web search for the race for life and it looks like it would be a real laugh. I've just finished doing a triathlon series here triwoman (www.tri.co.nz), and I loved the friendly supportive atmosphere. I've pretty much just done couch to 5K over the past 8 - 10 weeks, started out run a lampost walk a lampost and built it up. I ran 6Km last week, and I know I could run further.
Claire - Don't beat yourself up about TOM getting in the way. The most important thing is that you're still here, still logging your food and exercise, so what if you post a gain this week, next week it will be gone. Did you grow up speaking Welsh? or learn it at school? I love Wales, so beautiful.
I'm all up for eating greens on thursday, think I'll wear green to work too! I'm also up for a big burn week. I didn't make the 3500 last time, but will go all out this time, it would really help with the wedding and all too.
And here's my intro ...
Name: Rachel or Rach
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
I am originally from Yorkshire in the UK, but have been living in NZ for 9 years now.
CW : 89.3kg or 197lb
GW : 70kg or 155lb
Workouts: I have been training for short distance triathlons, so I run, bike or swim 6 days a week and then have 1 rest day. I'm now working towards being able to run 10km and have entered a series called "Run Auckland" which is 6 races of 5km, with the last 3 having a 10km option and the final race having a 20km option. My aim is to be able to run the 20km option in July. I can currently run 6km.
Food facts : I'm vegetarian, though started eating fish when I was pregnant. I aim to have a chunk or two of chocolate every day. My current aim is to make sure I eat all my protein.
Interesting fact : I have webbed feet!?! Makes me a better swimmer!0 -
@ Rach - I went to a welsh medium primary school so was taught in welsh until I went to high school... Neither of my parents speak welsh (mum is from Kent and dad is from South Wales but never learnt welsh)..
I'm glad I know welsh though through high school I found it all a bit dull (teenagers eh!) and now my son goes to the same school I went to... One of my teachers is no the head mistress there and the place hasn't changed much so it's very odd going back there!
How come you moved to NZ then? x0 -
Ooooh, I love a good survey.
Name: Beccy
Location: The Midlands, England
CW: 285.5
GW: I also want to go by clothes size, not weight. I want to be a UK 16, although I'd be happy to go down to a decent UK 18, so I can shop on the high street properly again.
Workouts: I need to sort these out! I am doing rubbish at the moment, but I do walk to work, I used to bus in the morning but stopped now, so I walk 2 miles a day (its exactly a mile there and back, handy for calculation purposes!)
Food facts: I am obssessed with sushi, especially sashimi. I could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in Yo! Sushi.
Interesting fact: I am half Portuguese, on my mothers side.
Rach I really want to visit New Zealand! The scenery looks amazing and I am a huge LOTR nerd as well, so that's another reason!
I am up for trying this 3500 burn challenge. I don't know how well I will do though!0 -
Mornng All. Wednesday here, weigh in day.
I'm up way too early, can blame the cat for that. I will shower and dress later and go down to shopping center for my weigh in. I am enjoying a quiet cup of tea.
idaho.. Hope your back is feeling better. Its a shame when we finally get hooked into exercise and then have to stop due to injury or illness. Hannah, how is your cold? Noticed you went for a long walk, so hope you are feeling better.
Name ...... Jenni or Jennifer (if I'm in trouble)
Location...... Sydney Australia
CW ......101.3kg
GW...... 75kg
Workouts .......Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, Ballet, stationary bike, walking, ( I sort of give anything a go)
Food facts .......Vegetarian
Interesting fact .......I use to be a showgirl and now my daughter (19) has her first show this Saturday.
New Goals.... 1. to own a dress (nighties dont count)
2. to be overweight not obese (will have to research at what weight that is)
Starting my 3500 burn today. Going to Zumba this morning. Have tried it before and didnt like it. But its just starting at the local dance school that I work at so am supporting it. Maybe I will like it more now that I am 20kilo's lighter than when I last went. I at least have a nice outfit to wear.0 -
ooo I love Zumba... I'm rubbish at it though (and I always thought I had quite a good sense of rhythm!!) Looking forward to the end of the month when the zumba game comes out on the wii - can look like an eejit in the comfort of my own home then!
Not sure if I'll make it to a burn of 500 cals tomorrow - got to take my daughter to the hospital... but then I am going for a bit of a shop afterwards so I guess that might count?! Hopefull won't be too shattered to do my EA2 workout when I get home....0 -
I am going to do a morning workout and then my usual walking, hopefully that will get me over 500! Really need to pull my finger out to do this!0
-
and then have fun with your date!!0

Good Morning Losers!
It's Wednesday morning here, just weighed in and am again over the moon to be posting a 0.8kg or 1.8lb loss, now weighing 88.5kg or 195.1lb. At first I thought it was a 0.2kg gain, then I spotted the two eights!! This keeps my 193lb goal in sight, a similar loss next week should do it ... WOOOO HOOOOO!
Also I was 87kg when I got pregnant with Lucy, so that's getting closer too! I was 83kg when I got pregnant with Bill, so I class that as 'pre-pregnancy', but pre Lucy is on the horizon!!
I'm especially pleased as I've exercised hard, and not eaten my exercise calories for the last 3 days to make up for the Hens night, and it's always great when a bit of hard work pays off!
Claire - That's cool with the Welsh, the Maori language here is in a similar state to probably the one Welsh was in in the 70s, so it's good to see immersion works. We came to NZ with backpacks, I got a job and we never left! No planning involved!
Beccy - Whereabouts in the Midlands are you? I went to Uni in Birmingham, so it's a place that will stay forever close to my heart!
Good Luck Losers!0 -
Jenn - I noticed that all your green suggestions were vegetarian!0
