    hey girls - sorry i haven't written in a bit. I have been really good with my exercise again and it is making me feel much better about myself. Of course TOM has arrived again and my scales are showing me something different than how I actually feel. My goal for this week with TOM is to either maintain or at least lose a little bit (which means next week should be great right?) ugh...I just feel like I am at this plateau. I want to lose the weight and my body is just not reacting...maybe it is happy where it is? I am not going to give up on it though - even if it takes years to actually get this weight off a little bit at a time and no gaining is a move in the right direction. Last night I did have some extra vino because a friend came over whose wife just sent him divorce papers out of the blue...needless to say it was a bit of a longer evening than I am used to. But this morning I am moving around the house cleaning like a mad woman and will hit the gym this afternoon for another 5-7 miler...sticking in my fat burning zone.

    Here is to good eating tonight right! And getting off of our butts and moving...maybe even clinching your cheeks when you think nobody is looking :)

    Hello All!
    It's good to read how you're all doing. Its such an inspiration and motivation.
    Someone at work today told me that they were impressed with how much weight I've lost and that it was noticeable. Then someone else said they would like to have my body! I was very shocked as I've not noticed it - as it's been gradual. I'm glad that I've been making a noticeable change and that other people are inspired by my achievements. I did share a tip or two with them, but I did say it was down to cutting out the rubbish from my diet.
    This has motivated me even more. I hope that the day comes for you guys soon (if its not already!) It's given me one of the biggest buzzes and I'm off to the gym right now to keep it up and reach my next mini goal!!

    mabrywynn i love a cleaning blitz i dont usually log exercise but like tomorrow when im blitzing everything moving things and scrubbing hard i will i know its a workout because it raises my heart rate and gets me sweating somethimes more than jogging on the wii and the feel good factor when its clean and fresh is the greatest high i end up in a super mood all day

    cdpm i know how you mean you dont notice the weight goes gradually but i think its the same with everything we see everyday we dont notice the changes a smuch as when we dont see something or someone for a while ive had alot of friends say im looking healthier and ive lost loads and im like what its only 11lbs we just must be doing something right so while we keep it up we are going to reach our goals

    ive been out tonight so missed my jogging but my daughter was lead in a school play cinderella rockerfella she was great i hope none of the clas stry singing as a career mind you they were off key alot but fantatsic and the efoort they put in really showed i had a great time and i dont regret not exercising more for a minute this was a not to miss thing and i loved it and there was no junk to eat woohoo

    they live on average between 5-10 years but some can live longer or health issues can decrease life expectancy he is currently 3and half and at 2ft in length and weighs almost 3lbs but he is a tubby man lol maybe he needs join mfp too and learn to eat his veggies normally they are active like to run around there vivarium and eat the greens chase the locust mine prefers to sit and look at me as if to say what you`re not hand feeding me hes lazy enough to wait until a locust sits on his nose before eating them but i love him not good to cuddle on the sofa tho because they need higher heats and uv lighting and they can feel rough to the touch but great to have a hold and watch kids love them and they are pretty low maintanace not like usual cats dogs rabbits etc

    happy thursday all last school day i can lie in tomorrow woohoo
    todays plans include scrubbing my house probably be a waste of time as kid swill make it scruffy again by 4pm but still it needs a good scrub everything clean do loads laundry very boring fit some exercise in and maybe bake some biscuits or buns for later when watch a film with kidddies

    hope everyone has a fab day i will check in on you all later lol

    Thank goodness it's Friday!!! It's been a long week!
    Today I got up early and blitzed a workout. Now I'm feeing energised and ready for the day! I am going out for a meal tonight which could throw my weight about a bit, but a weekend with some good workouts should counter it! I am hoping so anyway. Haha

    Hope you all have a good friday and well done to everyone for their efforts this week - lets keep it up!!

    friday friday!! I will weigh in tomorrow morning. I have done really well on my eating this week and exercise. I have a playdate this morning with some girlfriends and all of their little ones so we will hit the gym this afternoon for some cardio. Other than that we need some good thoughts coming our way - it is almost the 1 year anniversary of my father-in-laws passing (last summer was very hard because he got really sick really fast) and we just found out that my mother-in-law is diagnosed with breast cancer. The severity of it is unkown so hopefully she will be like millions and be a survivor! She will have surgery on thursday...so we will be pretty consumed with that for at least the next week if not more. Heres to hoping they got it early enough!

    i am in very high spirits this morning. even with TOM in the house I have maintained...which means I will totally be at a loss next week because I always gain about 1-4lbs during TOM - so yeah me! I take that as a good thing. I have been eating well all week and exercising like crazy. Today I will hit up some TC at the gym for 75 minutes and @ 600 calories...eat well all day and then tomorrow will be a nice long run in the morning.

    my goal for this coming week is to limit my wine intake (so i am allowed a glass or two tonight and then on more until the end of next week) and of course keep the cookies to a minimum (only tastings). I have at least 2 orders every week until the beginning of September so I will be a happy busy baking mama.

    good luck with the weekend girls - it is usually the hardest. I really think if we can ll overcome too many weekend splurges that we will surely all meet our goals :)

    My weigh-in today was a bit disappointing - less than 1lb lost. I was expecting poor weight loss as I was out Friday night (and let my hair down) and Saturday was a bit of a snack day and a bit too much bread and other carbs! Whoops!
    To cheer myself up I got the ol' tape-measure out and I am glad I did. In a fortnight I have lost:
    Bust: 2 inches (and a cup size)
    Waist: 2 inches
    Right arm: 1 inch
    Left arm: 1 inch
    Hips: 2 inches!!!!! (yaaay!)
    Top of right leg: 1 inch
    Top of left leg: 1 inch

    This has defiantly made me appreciate the power of the tape-measure! Never get disheartened with a small weight-loss!

    I would love to join this group. I just started counting my calories again. I have had major back pain and my doc said if I don't lose abdominal weight I will always have pain. With that said I am now really focusing on my weight. I really need motivation to stay on track and this seems like a great group to help me succeed.
