fit for october challenge

Oh well...It was your birthday and you should treat yourself...Try not to worry and move on...

And how annoying about your injury! Maybe you can do some upper body workout?

I am looking to lose my wobbly belly too! Just tired of being concious about sitting down and not being able to wear tight close. One of my little goals will be to cut up my Spanx! :laugh:

i know my foot is a problem i pulled the calf muscle 2 weekends ago then last weekend i sprained my foot same leg and it just doesnt seem to be fully healing i know its probably my impaitience i spent 4 days with it just up on a cushion resting it before i could even walk but i was hoping it be fully better by now must just have been worse than i thought and i will have to be paitient i have done a little jogging on trampoline mostly as a cushion for my joints but 30minutes at a mor elike hobble jog pace i doubt i burn what mfp says i do

on the plus side it means i am being more careful with what i eat knowing i cant work it off this weekend not counted lol but i have been more aware of the calories instead of thinking its ok my exercise cancels this out i nee dthat boot as i can be a little well its a treat ill still be in calorie now i need to be ok its not worth the calories in it so ill pass and i need that

wobbly bellys can go for us all i reckon

good morning everyone (like that didnt sound like the teachers in school to class lol)

now own up who stole my sunshine i get up and it looks like its still night its dull grey miserable and dark im all for sharing but the sun but someone has stolen it completely its so unfair lol

plans for today involve school run 3x visiting my inlaws and some shopping for my girls they need bangles necklaces earrings etc to go with there eid clothes and they so excited picking colours the oldest wants gold and green next one wants orange and the 2 littlest just want ones that jingle jangle like the scarecrow in the rhyme young kids say the funniest things and in between all that i need to cook/clean and try a little exercise even if its just walking in my house

have a good day and ill check in on you all laters

Happy Monday morning!
Well this week I skipped my weigh in as I've had a bit of a poor week with food, being ill, in not fit state to exercise and then a weekend out on a hen do (this did involve a dance class though which was more of a cardio than we were expecting!) . I didn't think I'd need the scales to tell me that my clothes are going to fit more snug this week!!!
So now it's time to get serious and I understand that it may take more than one week to take off any weight that I may have put on last week.
I'm going to up the workouts and get my food back on track. I will keep you posted with the progress!

i think this weekend has been bad for most pple bdays 4th july celbrations etc but i refuse to beat myself up over it i usually weigh on a monday and friday and today im the same weight i was last week ill take maintaining at the minute seen as my exercise is very slow walking and not much else darn this foot i want it fully healed but never mind i will just have to be good food wise not too hard so far as i think i ate so much at the weekend im not even hungry yet im going to snack on a cereal bar i think just so ive had something and worry about teatime when it arrives but i am contemplating making fresh okra curry and chappattis i love okra and i will be so near the store where i can get it fresh motivation if ever i seen it lol

we can and will do it we did not gain our weight over night and 1 weekend wont do us that much harm but now we will be good because well becaus ei want to be skinny and look smexy when i go away lol

yep there is nelski is doing jillian michaels six pack on demand very brave but i do like jillian on biggest loser mean and brutal but gets results

i am struggling to get calories today all weekend i ate like over 2000 a day and today im struggling to get to 500 i just dont feel hungry not sure if im full from weekend the sun that finally came out but im just not fussed i did eat a really nice lentil curry at lunch with homemade chappatti my sis in law is a fab cook i need to get my butt into gear and find something or i will be snacking on junk later

im thinking a potato in microwave in jacket with a little philedelphia i really cannot leave it at the calories ive had it is beyond a little under it hasnt even touched 500 so into the kitchen i go and potato in micro its funny when i want to keep calorie slow i struggle when i need get them up im just not hungry on the plus if all else fails i have icecream in freezer and chocolates on cupboard

mabrywynn i think i may have to invest in a hrm i have a feeling i am not burning the calories my wii or mfp has me pegged at and that is why my weight is so slow to come off i may have a look when i shop today see if i can afford one if not ill wait a couple weeks until school break up and then get one

good morning all and happy sunny tuesday i am loving the sunshine i only want salads and healthy foods and not alot of them maybe its just me but summer makes dieting easier for me

plans today involve food shop and going mcdonalds with my friend i will be good i willonly have an egg muffin or medium fries not both it will most likely be the fries my friend has a group on fb about battery hens and well i kinda went off eggs seeing it it wouldnt be so bad but i only buy free range anyway
i will manage about 30-45mins walking round shop as well im looking forward to my foot being fully better im bored of the walking only
i also have to go to an open evening introduction for my daughters high school im expecting a long book list and uniform list for what she needs and the cost i may need to win lottery to cover
have a good day everyone ill check in laters

Hi,

I'm not sure if it is too late to join you but I too would like to try and lose some weight for October if I can but I need lots of motivation and support.

I've just had a relationship break up and decided to join this site just 2 days ago to try and give myself something else to think about. I have a birthday in October too and plan to go away now for a holiday so would like to look a whole lot better for myself and to think yes, you may be old but you can still have that self respect too regardless of what other people may think of you.

I would really like to lose a min of 14lbs by then if poss.

On the downside, I only have access to this site Mon - Thurs, my wii has now broken and I hate exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anybody help? :sad:

Cutie

its never too late every new joiner is 1 more person to motivate us all and vice versa mon-thurs access to the site is alot better than none and you can go back a day and add things in so its a possiblity to add the fri-sun foods in on monday and just keep track on paper more work but it might help
exercise i agree with the not liking it although i do love my wii fit plus jogging i can switch to tv and watch anything for the 30minutes i jog the only thing you can do is find something you like and go for it even if its just walking around the shops or down the street and back do you like swimming? i love it burns loads calories tones and exercises all at once and its fun even walking in water is good for you my downside is my hubby is working on the day i used to go that and my foot isnt fully healed so i havent been must get back to it tho or you can just try jogging in place while you watch a tv show it never feels like exercise if you do it while doing something fun or watching a show you like

mabrywynn i was good i had only the fries well an ice cream cone as well but 150cals was too tempting in this heat i didnt even spend too much money didnt see a hrm but im going to the markets tomorrow for more shopping clothes etc kind this time and i may see one then i even got in just over an hr walking around the store pleased with that and tomorrow ill be in charity shops looking for education books for my kids so i can teach them in summer holidays i got 2 history one technology a shakespere and english literacy for less than £3 other day so im hoping to find some others if not well the extra walking will be good for me lol

nelski we all had a bad weekend 4th july bdays sunshine and bbqs conspired against us but its a new week get jillian to kick your behind and all will be good with the world lmao its what i keep telling myself anyway we will get there in the end and if not by october theres always xmas and easter and summer next year lol

I actually lost 2lb, yay.

thats brilliant way to go you

good morning and happy wednesday all. you know why i like wednesday? its the middle of the week which means its fast to the weekend now like getting to the top of a rollercoaster and whoosh your at the bottom again

anyways the sun is shining woohoo always motivating and i get to go to the markets looking at all the stuff i cant afford usually this would depress me but it mean si get to walk alot and seen as that is the only exercise i have at the minute im happy even if i will melt in the sun, get depressed at what i want and cant have and end up spending money on things then regret it later but tough i get to walk so its all good lol

hope you all have a fab day will check in on you laters be good and if you cant be good at least avoid the 3rd helping lol
