    Welcome! Feel free to add me as a Pal.

    I did a FitnessBlender interval fat burner with upper body weights today. Holy smokes! Burned 271 cals in 35 minutes!

    @indygirl217 : we have something in Toronto called The Path which is like a little underground city, pretty awesome way to get around on the winter! Good for you - get out of the cold whenever you can!

    : I didn't last a week in the dry January challenge!

    Happy Saturday all! Been swimming with my little boy today and then got in some cardio on the cross trainer later this afternoon - feeling good about myself. I've also dusted off my workout DVD's and bought myself a new Heart Rate Monitor so will be able to get back into those soon and seriously kick some butt! Down .8lbs this morning so I'm on track and feeling motivated for this. Have lovely evenings all and hope tomorrow is good to you :)

    My exercise for the weekend has just been walking so far.

    I went shopping today for a few new bits for my running club on Monday, I needed some long sleeve t-shirts and a shower proof jacket - "all the gear and no idea" as my OH says lol.

    The fella is doing a downhill mountain bike race tomorrow so he'll be leaving first thing, but I'm going to get up and go for a jog before heading down to watch them (they have to be there early to get their race numbers etc), and I imagine there will be a fair amount of walking about as we follow them around the course. Hopefully it won't be too cold!

    Hope you're all having fab weekends, keep up the good work you lovely people. :)

    @bluepoppies: sad but true, I think it was about 9 days in that I gave up. There's only so much restriction I can take! Major cred to you for sticking it out.

    just about halfway there! 13 pounds down from my heaviest, another 16 till I'm at my pre-weightgain weight. I think I might start doing some research to how to start out doing heavy lifting. exciting.

    Hi Sky, I am with your on the bread and pasta - I make my own bread so it is deadly when it is fresh! And do you measure out your pasta? An official portion seems so ridiculously small! LOL! My weakness is also pesto. Anyway, good for you for reaching out. We all need support to make this happen!

    I normally measure out 50g of pasta per portion. Not sure what's recommended but this satisfies me!!

    Rubbish day yesterday in terms of food/exercise. I didn't get out for my run because it was tipping it down with rain, and then after a long day of standing about in a cold windy forest cheering our team on, we all went to the pub, then home for a lovely roast chicken dinner which took me over my calories... Oh well, one day isn't going to wreck things - moving on...

    I start my new running club tonight, fingers crossed it goes well. I'll check in tomorrow and let you know how I got on, hopefully I won't trip over my own feet and faceplant or something similar. :smiley:

    NSV airplane flying today, wasn't even touching the seat next to mine.

    Hey! That's my goal. Going to Europe in May and just want to sit on the plane semi-comfortably. Congrats on your success!

    My weight loss is finally kicking into gear. I've lost 14 lbs. since Thanksgiving, and my new goal is to lose 15 more by graduation, May 12. I'm graduating with my master's degree, then taking a celebratory trip to Germany on May 15.
    My clothes are finally starting to feel loose. I know the pace I'm losing it is totally healthy and should be slow, but it's been frustrating.
    I finally feel like watching my calories is habit.

    We went to my parents house for dinner last night and had the full roast beef and potatoes dinner, so I went over yesterday too. But it was a small win for me because I only went over on one meal yesterday, didn't let loose on the whole day!
    I was up at 5:30am and went to the gym, so I'm done for the day! Have a good one everyone!!
