    Good morning all :smile:

    Well done to everyone who lost this week, or maintained!

    I had no loss this week, but I wasn't expecting one anyway! I was naughty at the weekend :devil: ... again, although I managed to stay within my cals! I only have 8lbs left to get to goal, so I've decided that I'm going to exercise rather than worry about losing weight!

    I'm blaming my boyfriend for my being naughty :tongue: as of today he's on a diet too (I've finally made him realise that he needs to change his eating habits and get fit), so he wanted to have a few 'nice' things before the diet started! Of course, he's a fantastic boyfriend who took me away yesterday to get some of my birthday present (I turn 30 next Sunday) and he bought me a FABULOUS pair of Irregular Choice shoes, so I couldn't not allow him the icecream after dinner last night :laugh:

    On another note, as mentioned, I'm less than a week away from being 30..... I got asked for ID in tesco yesterday while buying my bf cigarettes :happy: and the guy who ID'd me was only about 20!! My friends told me last night that as I've lost weight, I look much younger... and some people have been shocked to learn that I'm older than my bf (he's 22)!! Talk about making my day!

    I'm 29 next month, think that's why I've finally decided to do something about my weight I want to look good when I'm 30!

    I get ID'd at supermarkets regularly, especially when I lose a bit of weight I love it! :laugh:

    Good work on the toyboy, I went the other way and bagged an older man :wink:

    My other half and I also have an age difference.

    I'm 40 and he's 35. Everyone thinks we're the same age...

    ... but that's probably because he's bald... :ohwell:

    Mine's going bald, in fact, he's turning into his dad (only a taller version) and his dad looks like chuck norris!

    Enjoying reading the posts :happy: My hubby is only 2 years older but he's a lovely fireman phwoar :wink:

    Well I'm hoping to get out my 4 week plateau this week. I've purchased the ebook Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle, and have done as I'm told and increased my calories. I definately feel like I've lost some fat, and I'm hoping the scales say I've gained some nice lean muscle too. Shall let you know on thursday.

    Also finding its helping having 6 smaller meals a day during the week (weekends that goes out the window a bit more as I'm not getting up early just to have an early breakfast!).

    Am I the only one on here who is elderly i.e. mid forties onwards :ohwell:

    HI all,

    Not been around much this last couple of weeks, just started a new job so all my time has been spent trying to get around the systems, and the intense training course, plus I lost my password and only just got round to getting a new one.

    I'm starting from scratch this week, new gym starts on Friday so will be going a lot more often as I'm on countdown now till my holiday so need to do something!

    Hope you are all okay! :-D

    Lee.

    I'm almost into the last hour of work for a WHOLE WEEK! Wooooooo!

    I do promise I will be good, at least until I go to Wolfes on Saturday evening for my birthday meal :laugh: it's all good though, I'm going to be running around like a mad eejit for two and a half hours playing laser quest before we eat :tongue:

    Oh Team UK I need to confess..... just got back from the gym, 1 hour PT session followed by 30 min swim...well I felt like I could eat a scabby horse, (in hindsight a entire scabby horse would've contained less calories).. so I made the decision to treat myself with a bacon and egg sandwich. However I noticed there were 6 slices of bacon left in the pack and I decided I ought to use it up. Soooo I've just eaten 2 bacon and egg sandwiches, on WHITE bread (I ignored the wholemeal bread sitting in the cupboard) with lashings of HP sauce and a big mug of tea. You wouldn't believe how good they tasted, but over 850 calories, wow!

    Cool - a thread for us Brits!

    Feel free to add me anyone!

    Reasons I'm loving March 2011:
    1) Its my 35th birthday
    2) I hit my first target - 1/2 stone lost (one and a half to go)
    3) Got comfortably into some trousers which I couldn't do up before!
    4) The sun keeps coming out - even if it is only teasing
    5) The flowers are starting to come out in the garden

    Reasons I'm hating March 2011:
    1) I'm having new central heating put in. Its too cold to be without heat - last two days have been horrid getting out from under the duvet!
    2) Japanese Earthquake.
    3) Giving the cat antibiotics because he got bitten in a scrap.
    4) The French. (Do I need a reason?)
